Here’s some news sure to please you green geeks. LG just announced what they are tauting as the “world’s most energy-efficient monitor,”. Supposedly it beats the pants off of other energy-hog monitors.

The Flatron W2252TE. It would appear that they managed to do this without skimpy too much on specs. You get a 22-inch screen with 1680 x 1050 resolution, 10,000:1 contrast ratio, 2 ms response time, 170 degree viewing angle, and 250cd/m2 brightness rating. All this and a 45% reduction on power consumption compared to other models. Nothing on price yet, but it should be available to green geeks in the UK starting this August.

Verizon Wireless is out today with three new innovative LG phones which should do some fun shaking up of the cellular provider’s line up when they debut in the next month or so. They are the LG Dare, LG Decoy (pictured) and LG Chocolate 3.

The phones, said Verizon, will offer their customers “touch-screens, music and more.” We’ve put after the jump the snippets of the Verizon press release which briefly detail the new models.

I get why people want wide LCDs. They are great for gaming thanks to the typically higher resolutions and they allow you to get more stuff on the screen at once. For instance you can get several of the latest pics of your favorite quasi-stars getting out of their cars sans undies on the screen at once.

Despite the obvious use I mentioned above LG says that the M3800S-BN and the M2900S-BN displays are designed for presenting lots of information on screen at once for locations like airports and train stations. The M38000S-BN is a 38-inch screen and the M2900S-BN is a 29-inch LCD. Both screens can be mounted horizontally or vertically as well.

LG Electronics in the Middle East has released the Super Multi Blue Blu-ray Disc Rewriter, the BE06. The fastest rewriter that reads and writes Blu-ray at 6x. It’s aimed at laptop users or those with multiple PCs connecting USB 2.0 and a DC power connector.

It also has Optical Pickup Technology supporting Blu-ray disc write/playback, HD-DVD playback, and DVD/CD write playback. You can get one for $549, but as far as availability in the U.S., there’s no word just yet.

There are rumors that LG is making the Prada II. Unlike it’s predecessor, the Prada II is apparently a slider and even comes with QWERTY keyboard. According to the leaked press release, LG seems to be focusing more on design and user experience while the Prada team will be making the custom themes, touch UI, built-in ringtones and cellphone accessories. The LG Prada II should be launched sometime in Q4 of 2008.

Some specs: Quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900). WCDMA 900/2100, 7.2 Mbps HSDPA connectivity, 3″ WQVGA 400×240 px TFT touchscreen, 5.0-megapixel camera, front camera for video calls, Wi-Fi b/g connectivity, USB 2.0, Bluetooth, Full HTML browsing, FM-Radio, TV-out, microSDHC memory card slot (up to 8GB) and the slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

LG converges the Microwave and the Toaster. The device is not new, but it’s like a UFO sighting, you know they’re out there, but you’re still surprised to see one.

Obviously it hasn’t caught on, which is odd because it’s a great space saver and it frees up an additional power outlet in your kitchen. Maybe it’s tough to clean or something. Anybody out there have one of these? Do you like it?

With CTIA Wireless 2008 quickly approaching new cellular phone announcements are coming hot and heavy. Not all of the phones being announced ahead of the show are bank breakers when it comes to the price, which is nice.

LG and Verizon Wireless announced a new handset today called the LG enV2. The phone is available in black or maroon colors and will be available in April at Verizon Wireless stores across the country for $129.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year contract.

Alltel Wireless has scored an exclusive slider phone with a touchscreen interface from LG and plans to launch it March 13. The phone is called the LG Glimmer and it will price at around $250 after rebate and two-year contract.

The LG Glimmer, besides the aforementioned items, is geared towards media lovers with its 2-megapixel digital camera with video recording, built-in MP3 player and streaming video support. It’s also outfitted with an expandable memory card slot and is GPS capable.

LG Electronics showed off their Watch Phone concept during the Mobile World Congress 2008. Apparently, they want us all to communicate Get Smart style in the future.

Not much is known about these at the moment, except that it supports voice recognition function by using Bluetooth, enabling users to make calls or send text messages without using a keypad. Check out the video after the jump. These are nice looking watches as far as the face goes and since they are from LG, I’m sure the quality would be better then others on the market. Unfortunately, these will likely never come to market. At least, not as they are. But we can hope.

LG Electronics is showing off this week a number of interest cell phones for consumers. One which seems to be getting a lot of attention in particular is the upcoming LG-KF700, which will be available perhaps sometime this year in the United States after first hitting Europe.

The LG-KF700 offers up three separate input methods - three-inch touchscreen display, alpha-numeric keypad and a scroll dial. The latter is interesting in that it lets you scroll through six user-selected features by controlling a virtual dial on screen. It is also a media strong horse, offering MP3/MP4 playback and a three-megapixel camera, among other features.

Get the full scoope on the LG-KF700 after the jump.

LG announced ahead of an upcoming mobile phone conference a new phone which looks rather stylish. It is called the LG-KF510 - no word on specific pricing or region availability at this point.

The LG-KF510 is described by LG as an “extremely slim slider phone.” It has a metal frame, tempered glass and will be available in two colors - gray and red. It will reportedly also offer “advanced touch technology.”

LG has a new non-high def DVD burner that should hit the market within days, sporting a very slim and portable design. The LG Slim DVD burner is completely USB powered requiring no additional cables to run, helping you to conveniently burn discs and drain the battery from your notebook when you’re on the go.

The device measures only .84 inches thick and weighs less than a pound making it very portable, housing the ability to burn DVD+R / RW, DVD-R / RW, and DVD-RAM discs as fast as …

The rumor du jour is that LG is prepping to release its VX9400 handheld phone/TV on March 23. As we reported this past January, Verizon is soon to launch a service that allows for live television to be beamed and picked up by mobile phones.

Samsung is the other company with plans to release a phone, the u620, that works with the service, but we’ve been waiting to see what LG’s entry looks like in action especially since it has a neat looking pivot screen. According to a tipster that whispered in …
