HP announced a brand new display yesterday. The 2709m is the largest LCD for the mainstream computer market. At 27-inches, it features 1080p and can be used as a TV as well if you like. It sports an HDMI input as well as VGA and DVI, so you can hook up all of your DVD players etc.

Other features include tilting for viewing angles and a built-in 4-watt speaker system. You can get the HP 2709m LCD display starting today for about $500 on the company’s site. The 2709m also sports a dynamic contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and an anti-glare coating, so you can expect a bright colorful picture.

We’ve seen Twitter displays, but David Nichols’ Tweetster seems like a step above the rest with it’s laser-cut wooden parts and open design. The OpenWRT project and an ASUS Wireless Router WL-520-GU provide the functionality. The WiFi router uses OpenWRT to run Python from a USB flash drive in back. The setup automatically retrieves the latest 20 messages from his followers, displaying them on the serial LCD.

The downside of course, is that you can’t follow links to articles, see TwitPic images or even reply. But if you are only following a few select people, this could be a cool desk toy.

Solar powered e-ink displays are finally here. Neoluxiim recently showed them off for use in point-of-sale advertising. So all of your future e-ink ads will be in color for a more rich impulse purchase to be made by you.

While all ads are annoying, it’s nice to know that those energy-wasting flatscreen kiosks are on the way out. In the future you’ll still be annoyed by the ads, but you can at least rest assured that they will be greener.

Acer released its latest LCD display, the H235H monitor. The H235H offers cinematic quality in a sleek design. It’s available starting next month and the 23″ LCD display features the following specs for all of your entertainment needs.

The Photo-Touch Phone from Oregon Scientific is pretty stylish and sleek, sporting a 7″ LCD display. It offers DECT 6.0 technology with a touch sensing keypad that you can store up to 200 photos using SD,XD,MMC,MS cards. The device has a “Picture in Picture” feature with caller ID, speaker phone with auto answer function, 10 melody ring tones, ability to store 50 phone numbers, 10 redial logs and 30 caller ID logs.

Sadly it looks like it will only be available in Hong King. At least for now. The price is HK$1,798.00 or $231.99. If anything can help save landlines, it may as well be this.

Getting video on a small screen is not a huge thing and it’s not new. But how about video on a screen that’s insanely small? Kopin has managed to pack a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with VGA resolution (600 x 480 pixels) onto a screen that measures just over a quarter-inch diagonally. To put that into perspective, that means that the individual color dots are 2.9 x 8.7 micrometers. A typical piece for paper is about 100 micrometers thick.

So who is going to use such a tiny screen? Who is this screen for? Kopin thinks the new screen is a stepping stone on the way to creating a screen with 2,048 x 2,048-pixel resolution the size of a postage stamp. Great HD quality…If you are an ant.

HP just announced its new range of Electronic Skins, aka eSkins. eSkins will function as a new display technology to personalize consumer electronics. It’s a flexible and reflective color film that can be used on a wide range of devices. Anything from cellphones to digital cameras, MP3 players, netbooks, notebooks, you name it.

eSkins is capable of reflectively displaying icons and alpha-numeric characters to personalize nearly any device. It’s compatible with roll-to-roll plastic circuits, allowing it to merge with proprietary, electrically controllable “inks” to achieve print-like color performance and transparency. Visibility is said to be excellent, even under direct sunlight, and it can also turn transparent, to reveal the surface below.

Pixel Qi is showing off its latest line of displays that are more energy efficient compared to your standard LCD display. The screens will feature two modes: A backlit mode with full color saturation and an ePaper mode that will not use the backlight in order to use less energy.

The ePaper mode also makes the display easier to read when in bright sunlight compared to most displays. The image above is of a Pixel Qi display modified to for an Acer Aspire One in ePaper mode, chillin in the sun.

LG just released its latest full HD 3D LCD display. We’re talking 23″ of 3D right in your living room, along with double the brightness of a standard 3D LCD display. This allows LG to claim that they are the first in the world. Not that they like to brag or anything.

Thanks to time-sequential technologies, both right and left eyes will view different images, fooling you into thinking that you’re actually looking at a 3D image. Wait. What if I don’t want to be fooled? Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice and I just might enjoy 3D images on your LCD sirs.

And here is your daily iPhone rumor. Word is that the next handset will be announced at WWDC. It will feature an OLED display and a glowing Apple logo, and have a launch date of July 17.

The DECT phone, designed by Italian Stefano Giovannoni, combines some very nice design with advanced functions. The phone features a 65,000 color OLED display, as well as preloaded backgrounds and ringtones.

Though it may look and sound like just a concept, the DECT phone is real. You can actually buy it. The phone also has a large directory for storing contacts and a high quality speaker. It’s priced pretty reasonably at $175.

The Shinoda flexible display is a unique display that is capable of High Definition video despite its curved shape. This is possible thanks to its underlying plasma tube (PTA) technology and the intricate stitching of panels together to form a nearly seamless 3:2 display, making it possible to reach the 720p vertical resolution.

The Shinoda flexible weighs just 16 pounds and they are very close to mass producing such panels. So hopefully we will be seeing these in homes very soon.

Bang & Olufsen has introduced the massive BeoVision 4 103-inch plasma display, which they are claiming is the ultimate flat screen TV on the market today. The plasma screen comes with its own stand that can lift the screen, turn and tilt it to the optimal viewing position at the touch of a button.

It’s available in black, silver, red, blue, and dark grey. The BeoVision 4 can be custom ordered from any Bang & Olufsen showroom. Give it about three to four months since each product is custom built-to-order and requires a special “white-glove” delivery and installation process.

The rumored larger-screened Kindle just had some basic specs leak out. The Kindle DX is rumored to have a 9.7-inch screen, the ability to add annotations and PDF support. Looks like this Kindle DX is designed to appeal to students and textbook publishers. The Wall Street Journal reports that some chemistry and computer science students at various American universities will receive the new textbook-friendly Kindle.

Some that have been specifically named so far are Case Western, Pace, Princeton, Reed, Darden School at the University of Virginia, and Arizona State. Apparently it also includes an actual functional web browser.

At first it might seem like a dumb move on JVCs part to offer an LCD display to a niche market like photographers, but when you consider that this 42″ LCD display can reproduce a far greater range of colors than your typical big LCD display (100% of the sRGB space and 96% of Adobe’s RGB space), it makes sense.

Photographers are looking for true quality displays to view their work on. There’s no price on this yet, but it’ll be available in May, so we should know soon. It won’t come cheap, but if you’re a serious photographer, it may be worth it.
