viewsonic_vp2290b.jpg image

Not so much of a review as an attempt to pick up his jaw off the floor, this article at TrustedReviews details the ViewSonic VP2290b, an $8,500 monitor (with a $2,000 video card) with an amazing 3,840 x 2,400 resolution spread out across its 22.2-inches. To give you some idea of what that means, an image from a 9.2-megapixel camera could be displayed pixel-for-pixel on the monitor without any scaling down. Powered by a single Parhelia HR256 with dual-DVI outs, the VP2290b is has top-notch image quality, but a relatively low refresh rate, meaning that even if you steal one from your college's research laboratories, you probably won't want to play videogames on one -- not that you could find a 3D card that could power it.

mega_2104full.jpg imageTrusted Reviews has taken the MSI Mega 516BT Bluetooth flash player out for a spin, yet despite a load of improvements over the previous models, like the addition of an SD/MMC expansion slot and the hard-to-miss Bluetooth, they still find it to be overall a dud. It's not that the potential isn't there. When it works, features like the ability to record calls into the player while using it as a Bluetooth headset are pretty great, but an uneven user interface and spotty success with some of the phones they tested it with make it look as if this player might be one to pass over unless you're in dire need of the handful of unique features it offers.

Wireless in music players isn't a bad idea. Why, according to The Register, even Apple thinks so.

Sharp LL-171A-B LCD Monitor Reviewed


Sharp LL-171A-B LCD Monitor Reviewed 08/20/2004 08:05 AM

sharp_2057full.jpg imageTrusted Reviews takes a look at the Sharp LL-171A-B, a 17-inch LCD flat panel monitor that forgoes some of the extras (like a DVI input) but still keeps a few pleasant oddities like built-in speakers (which I've never been a huge fan of, but they do at least give Sharp an excuse to add a headphone jack) and an integrated power supply. The native 1,280 by 1,024 pixel screen pulls a few tricks to keep the cost down - it uses just a 6-bit controller to handle the colors instead of the regular 8-bit one - but Trusted Reviews says the limited color range is hardly noticeable. With prices in the $460 range (pre-order), the Sharp looks like a decent, if not mind-blowing monitor from a company with a good name. For a little bit more money, though, there are probably less skimped-upon options.

Speaking of, after my used monitor debacle this week (yeah, I know, but I've had good luck before), if anyone knows of a place to get good-quality, low-markup monitors (LCD or CRT) in the NYC area, let me know.

The ViewSonic Laptop... From The Future


The ViewSonic Laptop... From The Future 03/24/2005 08:31 PM
This is the type of piece that we normally save for slow Fridays, but it's a slow Thursday, so here you go. It appears that the folks at Amazon listed a ViewSonic laptop (they make laptops?) where they put a few extra zeros in the data, such that it was pumping out some serious power. The processor ran at 10 GHz and the hard-drive could store a cool 30,000 GB. This is when some folks with more than a little extra free time decided to write some amusing reviews of this laptop from the future. The more you read , the more amusing they get. Amazon has fixed the typos (amusingly, the Techweb article has a typo of its own, saying that the real hard drive is only "30 MB" suggesting it's not so hard to make an error in the other direction as well) but the reviews keep coming: "Mine just arrived yesterday, and man is it fast. I loaded Folding At Home (FAH), and it instantly found a cure for cancer and parkinsons. It was also able to run a brute force discovery of every prime number; It reached infinity in under 32 seconds!!! It turns out that there are only 32,994,234,116,781,042 prime numbers!!! Not bad huh?"

Available in sizes up to 512 only, though, which puts it in a low-class slot at this point (as if the afro-sporting carton didn't already do so). Marketed to kids with no taste, the Mega Stick 527 gets 18 hours of battery life from a single AAA battery and should be available any time.
