Ostendo CRVD 43 inch screen

Ostendo CRVD is the first of it’s kind although I’m not 100% sure if there is some relationship to the very similar looking NEC 43″ curved monitor we wrote about in June this year. It comes with a hefty price tag of $6,000 making it rather expensive for most computer users. Edit: The monitor is the same as the NEC, but Ostendo are attempting to sell it under their own brand now.

Although the screen size and aspect ratio are quite impressive, it seems to lack in the resolution department by only showing 2880 x 900 pixels. For a 43″ screen I’d expect a much greater resolution.

The good side of the monitor is how it was designed. The CRVD makes use of Human Visual System that is supposed to give you the vision that your normal peripheral vision gives. An example could be a driving game as pictured below where you can see more of the action around you rather than just the front windscreen that you’d see on most monitors.

Although an excellent screen I just can’t see why anyone would really want to spend $6,000 on a monitor… but I do like it!

LG X120 netbook is the first of its kind from LG

LG X120 netbook is the first of its kind from LG, where it not only delivers all the benefits of a netbook, it also offers users a shortcut to the fun stuff with a unique Smart On interface which makes it a snap to stay connected faster and easier than ever.

Regardless of whether you’re an avid social networker who just needs to check on your Facebook page round the clock or a college student who wants something light and yet functional, the LG X120 is able to deliver. Although I would think for the former, he/she would probably also own a cellphone or BlackBerry which already comes with a Facebook application to handle the mobile social networking aspect.

LG X120 will feature a sleek white matte exterior and fashionable blue trim, capable of running for up to 7 hours on a full charge. You also get round-the-clock Internet connection thanks to a built-in AT&T 3G wireless connection, although that remains subject to the area you’re at as well as the signal strength, so be prepared to surf at EDGE speeds sometimes as well.

Other features include 1GB RAM, a 160GB hard drive, a 10.1″ screen with crystal clear LED backlighting, an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera, HD stereo speakers and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can pick up the Window XP-powered LG X120 for $179.99 with a 2-year AT&T DataConnect service agreement, accompanied by a $60 monthly 5GB plan.
