AVING, DigiTimes: The FIC CW0A1 is a 8.9″ netbook that sports Intel’s Atom N270 CPU running at 1.6GHz. The pixel format of 1024×600 should allow some easy surfing on the net.

AVING: Not much is known about Haier’s 81004 netbook. The 81004′s keyboard size suggest a 10.2″ wide LCD with a 1024×600 pixel format. Just a guess. Intel’s Atom powers the netbook. The Haier 81004 is codeveloped by Redflag of China, Miracle Linux of Japan, and Haansoft of Korea.

Akihabara News, Newlaunches.com: The Pioneer KURO KRP-600M is a 60″ plasma TV that incorporates the company’s 9th generation (G9) KURO plasma display panel (PDP). You should expect extremely black blacks and contrast that is out of this world. The KRP-600M has an interesting feature where you can control power, input source and other settings from a web browser on a network connected PC.

Engadget: The Hyundai W220S TriDef 3D is a 22″ LCD monitor that can show you contents in 2D as well as 3D. You’ll have to wear a nifty-looking set of 3D glasses, arguably one of the most stylish ones ever made! Of course, I already wear glasses, so this would pose a problem. For those who have a good eyes, the combination of a 3D monitor and cool glasses has never been an option, until today, in Japan.

Specifications for the W220S is pretty good with a standard 1680 x 1050 pixel format for the 22″ size. Contrast ratio is better than average at 1000:1 while brightness is at 300 cd/m2. The 5ms response time is on the fast side but what gets me is the poor viewing angle of 160/150; nothing unusual since Hyundai’s W220S uses a TN LCD that usually exhibit not-so-great viewing angle performance. Hyundai will bundle Google Earth 3D, a couple of 3D games and a TriDef media player to playback 3D video content. I wonder if there is any 3D video content to play back.

Akihabara News: LG is introducing extremely wide 29″ and 38″ LCDs geared for digital signage applications in the UK. LG states that you can use these in landscape and portrait modes. I can imagine a McDonald’s (or any other restaurant) using one of these LCDs to replace the menu. The only weird thing about these two super-wide LCDs is that the larger 38″ has less pixels.
