In the past CES has been home to a great many large TVs. Last year the race to be the biggest was offset by the race to get the best 3D. Now Samsung is hoping that having the biggest 3DTV will mean something. Well, maybe not the biggest 3d TV but the biggest 3DTV backed more »

BenQ’s V2220 21.5″ LED LCD monitor seems to have bagged many world titles, from the “world’s slimmest” to the “world’s highest dynamic contrast ratio.” Boasting a thinness of only 15mm, the monitor is also very green.

This past week, NYC was home to Lightfair International 2009, which is the largest lighting trade show and conference in the world.

Back at CES, Sony showed off a flexible 2.5-inch OLED screen. Sir Howard Stringer joked that Jay-Z isn’t the only one who could squeeze Beyonce as he flexed the display while it played a Beyonce music video. But what exactly is this technology for? It seems like a cool concept, but what practical applications do flexible OLED screens have? Let’s take a look into the future.

Measuring a mere 6.5 millimeters (0.26 inch) thick, this TV is what sci-fi has said all along would eventually come around. This new television is a seventh of the thickness of the slimmest television currently on the market (also made by Samsung).

One of the growing markets within the tech world at the moment is the e-reader, a futuristic answer to the book. Lots of manufacturers are getting in on the act following in the footsteps of the Amazon Kindle and the Sony Readers, it was only a matter of time till portable consoles caught up with this trend.

Its been a while since I’ve been to Times Square, I can’t even draw an image of it in my mind. It just tends to blend in with the rest of New York City for me. Almost commonplace in a way. Now at least there’s something brand new to catch my attention. JVC has announced that it will be bringing the first ever HDTV to the New York City landmark.

The screen will display at 720p and be powered by LEDs (1,266,400 of them to be exact). There is no mention of a contrast ratio, but with a size of 19′ by 34′, I doubt many people will be looking for that sort of thing. The screen will hang just one story above Times Square at Broadway and 43rd. There will also be a new 71′ LED ticker below the screen, and the JVC globe beneath it will be refurbished for the HD screen’s activation on December 2nd.

PC Magazine is reporting that Dell plans to change its laptop displays to mercury-free and energy saving LED backlighting.

The transition is expected to be completed by 2010.

With all the latest changes to weight restrictions on baggage by practically all of the airlines, more and more travelers find themselves trying to figure out if their stuffed suitcase is going to make that new 50-pound limit or be slapped with a whopping $125 (or more!) surcharge.
