BenQ resisted the LED and 3D temptations to launch this LCD.

This TV can show moving pictures loud and clear, loud because the SQ4321 sports 2 booming speakers that can wake the dead.

It also sports the Senseye technology which takes special care of the darker parts of the videos. When turned on, it automatically brightens up the dark pixels to present an evently lit-up image.

It supports Full HD resolution and it quite ecofriendly when it comes to power consumption.

Specs: 42-inch display; 5000:1 contrast ratio; 10W X 2 speakers; 1080p resolution; 178 degree viewing angle; 205W power consumption and weights 20 kg.

2010 has been defined by 3D televisions. But nothing measured up to the superior picture quality of Samsung’s 7 series 40-inch beauty.

This TV can play sterioscopic 3D content, turn regular 2D stream into 3D and give the user a chance to browse the web. The LED backlighting enchances the image and the contrast is fabulous.

A pair of Active 3D glasses also come bundled with TV. Moreover, within its slime size, Samsung managed to accommodate 4 HDMI ports and 2USB ports.

Specs:
40 inch 3D LED panel; 26.5 mm slim; Full HD; 10W X 2 Speakers; 4 HDMI, 2 USB ports; Internet Ready and weights 45.3 kg.

If you’re looking for the ultimate TV, make sure you don’t overlook the 42in PLASMA TX-P42G20B TV (1,920×1080 native resolution) with 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio.

It’s a stunning choice for free HD broadcasts as it has both Freeview HD and Freesat HD tuners. Also features 4x HDMI, 2x SCART, VGA, component and composite inputs. You can even connect a USB hard disk and turn it into a limited PVR.

This 24in display from LaCie is aimed at prepress, illustration, web design and photographic pros, and features a 10-bit Premium IPS (P-IPS) panel.

The 324i has a native resolution of 1900 x 1200 pixels, a viewing angle of 178″ and has been rated as displaying 98% of the Adobe RGB colour space.

It also has inputs for DVI-D, DisplayPort, HDMI and component video, as well as three USB ports.

Shuttle has announced its latest SFF PC called the XS35 that will be seen at CeBIT next month.

The tiny SFF PC is only 3.3cm thick and is HD compatible. This may well be the best SFF PC Shuttle has for use as an HTPC machine in the living room. The chassis used for the XS35 is 1-liter class and has a standard VESA mount interface. That interface means you can mount the PC to the rear of a TV or LCD display.

The machine is complete, runs the Intel Atom D510 processor at 1.6GHz, and uses the NM10 Express Chipset. Graphics are handled by the NVIDIA GT218, otherwise known as the ION 2 platform. The machine has HDMI out, five USB ports, VGA out, LAN port, memory card reader, 2.5″ HDD, and an optical drive.

CeBIT 2010 will be available soon and MSI are tipping their hand for what pleasures they’ll have at the show.  Most interesting are the latest Wind Top all-in-ones, the 24-inch AE2420 and the 22-inch AE2280; rather than the nettop-based models we’ve seen before, these new Wind Tops will use Intel’s Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, ramping up to 3D capabilities on the top-spec machine.

The 24-inch Wind Top AE2420 has a 120Hz refresh rate and, with the appropriate dorky glasses, can show 3D visuals in 1080p resolution.  There are integrated 10W speakers, along with multitouch-capable displays.

The two new models will be on show alongside MSI’s other range of smaller all-in-ones and its Wind Box line of nettops.  No word on pricing for the AE2420 or AE2280 as yet.

Lenovo presents us its 2 new all-in-one touchscreen desktop models G455 and G555. Full specifications hasn’t been confirmed yet but as we informed both desktops use AMD Turion II dual-core processors and Radeon HD graphics. Also known that the 20-inch C315 desktop is powered by an Athlon CPU and 4GB of RAM. The touch-enabled C315 gets Lenovo IdeaTouch, a bundle of homegrown finger-friendly multimedia apps including PowerCinema, AutoCollage and VeriTouch. The machines run on Windows 7 OS.

Pricing for the Lenovo G455 and G55 is supposed to be at $449, while the Lenovo C315 starts at $649.

BenQ today took the wraps from its first 27-inch computer display. Considered a crossover display, the M2700HD has the usual computer inputs but also has twin HDMI 1.3 connectors plus component and RCA to take in traditional TV sources, such as cable boxes or game consoles. A native 1080p resolution, a 10W stereo speaker system and a remote further stress the hybrid nature of the LCD.

The panel produces a 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 400cd/m2 brightness level. BenQ claims at least some visual accuracy with a dedicated sRGB option among the color presets for those looking to recreate a particular color range. SPDIF audio lets it work with surround sound devices, including its own speakers’ virtual surround.

Pricing isn’t available, but BenQ vows a “worldwide” release for the M2700HD this week.

Dell on Thursday touted a rare approach to pro desktops with one of the smallest ever. The Optiplex 780 USFF (Ultra Small Form Factor) at 9.4 by 9.4 inches is championed as the smallest system to use primarily desktop components and only uses a 2.5-inch hard drive as its concession to size: it uses desktop processors up to a 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and even builds in the power brick where many other systems this size would move it to the outside.

A base configuration starts at $624 and comes with a 2.2GHz Celeron, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive running Windows 7 and Intel GMA 4500 video but also three years of on-site help.

Besides the newer design, the Optiplex 380 has been given a low-profile update that adds a new chipset with support for more processors up to the Core 2 Quad. Actual pricing remains the same at the existing $329 to $349 range depending on the choice of a desktop, mini tower or small form factor box.

Computer maker MSI released its Wind Top AE2020 all-in-one PC. The PC has a 20-inch, multi-input touchscreen and is the first from MSI to combine this feature with Windows 7 Home Premium. A 2.1GHz Intel Pentium dual-core forms the heart of its performance, but it also uses NVIDIA’s Ion graphics to smoothly play back HD videos on the 1600×900 display.

The PC also gets 3GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive, along with an optical drive. The side of the display has an HDMI port, a VGA port and six USB ports, along with a six-in-one card reader. A 1.3-megapixel camera allows for video chats.
