Lilliput 7" Mini USB Monitor Review

Display - Jan 25, 2010 | 12:00 PM

When I'm on the go covering technology events or press conferences, my 15" laptop rarely has enough real estate compared to when I'm at the office using my dual 24" LCDs. Sometimes, I just need a few more inches of space to monitor e-mail, instant messaging, and even my MP3 playlist. One relatively inexpensive solution to this dilemma is Lilliput's 7" mini USB monitor.

Adding a new dimension to monitor reviews Tue, Feb 02, 2010 - 05:43 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: Hardware Zone | Subject: Display
The most important things in display reviews have changed over the years, from SVGA or VGA to LCD or CRT to more recent times when the big differences have been limited to native resolution and screen size.  There are other statistics which are important, like response times, brightness and viewing angles, as well as the colour gamut if you are into graphics design.  Thanks to nVIDIA and a few other companies, the next big thing has arrived which is depth, or 3D.  The ViewSonic VX2268WM and Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ are up for review at Digital Trends with a little help from nVIDIA's 3D Vision kit.  Both are 120MHz 1680x1050 22" monitors with a 3ms response time in 3D mode, the big question that needs to be answered is the differences.  Find out if one 3D monitor is better in the full review.

"While 3D capabilities have not exactly been in the mainstream yet, some LCD monitors have come into the market with 3D support, namely, the Samsung 2233RZ and ViewSonic VX2268WM. We take a look at both LCD monitors on standard and 3d gaming usage to see which will come up on top."

27 inches of highly compatible pixels Fri, Jan 22, 2010 - 12:30 PM

The Dell UltraSharp U2711 is a 17", 2560x1440 LCD with a pair of dual-link DVI inputs, HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA, component and composite inputs so no matter what you are connecting to this monitor, it will talk to it.  There are also several USB ports and handy flash memory reader.

The inclusion of a DisplayPort input is a big plus for anyone who wants to run EyeFinity with 3 monitors.  At first glance this panel seems similar to the 27" Apple iMac, but the similarity is skin deep, the underlying technology is quite different.  AnandTech found that the display wasn't quite up to the standards a graphic artist would demand but for gaming and movies they were impressed with the viewing angle and the quality of the images.  Definitely worth a look!

"The latest offering in the U-series is the U2711, a 27" beauty sporting extremely impressive features. For starters, it has an IPS panel, but this isn't your granddad's IPS panel. The U2711 has an extremely high resolution 2560x1440 panel - similar to the panel that's used in the Apple 27" iMac. Notice that we highlighted the word similar? That's because the two panels aren't identical; the glass might be the same, but there are definitely differences."

Peerless Industries now Offering Slim Profile LCD mounts Tue, Jan 05, 2010 - 02:47 PM
Jonathan Hung | Source: General | Subject: Display
After pinching your pennies and pouring over reviews and specs, you finally bought yourself an LCD panel with a slim body. You get it home and realize that the TV mount you got for it is 2 to 3 times as thick. Nothing quite kills the space and aesthetic of your beautiful display by having it protrude off the wall.

Getting your display panel to mount nearly flush to the wall has been a challenge, but Peerless industries has this problem solved with their new SlimLine products including a low profile articulating mount which sits just 1" (flat and tilt mounts are even thinner at 1/3" and 3/4" respectively).

These mounts will go perfectly with that 2.6mm LG panel. It will go beautifully with those 30" panels for AMD Eyefinity too.You know you want it!


"LAS VEGAS (January 7, 2010) – Peerless Industries today announced four new flat panel wall mount series enabling consumer electronics retailers to mix and match SKUs to address different customer price and feature preferences. The lines range from the entry-level TruVue™ to the top-of-the-line Slimline®, the world’s thinnest mounts for ultra-thin flat panel TVs. MSRPs span $29.99 to $649.99, boxes have a common look and feel for easy display, and in-store merchandising includes self-serve mount selection guides.

46 SKUs for All Needs

...

Expanding on a portfolio of 150 flat panel mounts sold primarily through institutional channels, the four new Peerless series offer 46 easy-to-install flat, tilt and articulating models for a full range of TV sizes. The lines vary in functionality, design, construction and price point to offer options to meet all needs. The series are:

•    Slimline® - the market’s slimmest wall mounts for today’s ultra-thin TVs. The distance between wall and TV is just 1/3” for flat mounts, 3/4" for tilt mounts, and 1” for articulating arm mounts that extend up to 28.9”, enabling mounting mechanisms to virtually disappear. 8 SKUs with MSRPs from $129 to $499.
•    PerfectMount® - a luxury line with versatile features like perfect screen centering in any position. 13 SKUs with MSRPs from $74.99 to $649.99.
•    Paramount™ - an intermediate series with a high-gloss black finish. 13 SKUs with MSRPs from $64.99 to $349.99.
•    TruVue™ - an economy line with basic features for the budget-conscious. 12 SKUs with MSRPs from $29.99 to $199.99.

Peerless also offers a full brand merchandising program including multiple point-of-purchase and storyboard display options, store plan-o-gram services and product training. "


USB 3.0 displays might rival DisplayPort and HDMI Sat, Dec 26, 2009 - 07:09 PM
Ryan Shrout | Source: PC Perspective | Subject: Display
If you though the display connection battle was already complex with the inclusion of DisplayPort connections as well as HDMI, DVI, dual-link DVI and the legacy VGA ports still showing up on motherboards, be prepared for yet another option.  With the upgrade to USB 3.0 and bandwidth as high as 4.8 Gbps, it is very possible that USB 3.0 powered displays will start to filter out in early 2010.  There are already USB 2.0 displays available (we reviewed one from EVGA here) but they have been limited in frame rates and resolutions because of the 480 Mbps of bandwidth the connection offers.

Obviously, with 10x as much to work with, the ability to push higher resolution and higher frame rates could open up USB 3.0 as a competitor in this large market. 

DisplayLink Inc. has disclosed plans to ship a chip that enables video to run in "SuperSpeed" USB 3.0 standard devices in the second half of 2010, which would allow its use in consumer products as early as next Christmas.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas next month, the semiconductor startup plans to demonstrate a USB 3.0 device running its chip that will transmit video at up to 4.8 gigabits-per-second, USB 3.0's maximum rate, said Dennis Crespo, executive vice-president of marketing and business development at DisplayLink.

The video transmission would be 10 times greater than the current USB 2.0 standard's maximum throughput of 480 megabits-per-second, and "faster than any video peripheral for PCs today," Crespo said, citing the still-popular VGA and DVI video adapters, as well as devices using the newer DisplayLink and HDMI formats.

If current USB 2.0 implementations can support 1080p resolutions at 26 FPS or so (as the PC World article quotes) then getting 10x that would (in theory) allow for a 2560x1600 resolution panel to run at about 120 Hz or so.  That would be enough for ultra resolution 3D technologies or higher resolution panels at 60 Hz. 

Now will these panel makers start getting on that for us now?  I am still waiting to be able to put a 10 foot 20k x 20k panel on my wish list. 
Devices using the USB 3.0 version of the chip will appear at next year's CES, he said, though some may be available in time for the 2010 holiday season.

The upgraded video adapters and docking stations won't be useful, however, until laptops and netbooks arrive sporting USB 3.0. That should happen by Christmas, 2010, Crespo said, as Intel Corp. pushes notebook motherboards to manufacturers.

In 2009, Palo Alto, Calif.-based DisplayLink expects to ship about 2.3 million chips, more than double 2008's 1 million total, Crespo said.

DisplayLink counts Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., Lenovo Group Ltd., Toshiba and 30-odd other hardware makers as customers. "The only company we don't have is Apple," Crespo said. "I think it shows that the market has accepted our technology."

On the other hand, Crespo acknowledges that sales to LCD display makers have been disapponting. Samsung is the sole manufacturer building USB video connectivity into their screens. Crespo attributed the poor sales to recessionary pressures leading monitor makers to keep costs down.

Analysts like Brian O'Rourke of In-Stat believe that the USB standard will soon start to catch on with LCD makers. He predicted that 70 million USB-enabled monitors will ship in 2013.
Focusing on a blurry subject Thu, Dec 03, 2009 - 06:22 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: Extremetech | Subject: Display
Is response time actually involved in LCD picture blur?  Do those fancy new motion enhancement features actually degrade your image quality?  Is it actually important to your eyes that you can spot motion blur in still images?  These are the questions that ExtremeTech decided to answer when they investigate the issue of motion blur on LCD screens.  Their testing involved eight LCDs, two plasmas, one Sony Professional HD Trinitron Studio Monitor and a CRT for reference.  Read on to see just how response time, 60- or 120-Hz refresh rates, strobed LED backlighting, and motion enhancement processing really effect your viewing of moving video.
"Although all display technologies have their own unique strengths and steadily improve over time, users' memories of their initial weaknesses and limitations can plague them forever. The best examples of this effect are plasma displays, with their so-called "burn-in" problem (which is actually uneven aging), something that was technically overcome many years ago but which lingers like an 800-pound gorilla that still threatens to kill this excellent technology. Plasma manufacturers bear much of the blame because they have chosen to avoid this issue in their marketing rather than confronting this widely held perception."

Spotlight on the lower end of the 22" LCD market Wed, Nov 25, 2009 - 05:18 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: InsideHW | Subject: Display
Acer, ASUS, Samsung, LG and ViewSonic are all well known providers of LCD displays and it is a selection of those manufacturers that InsideHW gathered for a cheap 22" display roundup.  Each monitor sports almost exactly the same specifications apart from their claimed contrast, a stat that can be measured by many means and is at best slightly misleading.  Read on for an overview of the current state of affairs in the lower end of the 22" market.

"We gathered all 22-inch (21.5’’) monitors that we could with one more condition: price tag should be below 160€. All monitors are black with differences in surface finish: matte or gloss (piano). This is nice change since earlier combinations of black and grey surfaces weren’t that much pleasing. All monitors have only one analog D-Sub, which is expected from low price models. All displays have 16:9 panel ratio, with 1920x1080 resolution. This will satisfy Full-HD standard and offer decent performances in new visually attractive operating systems. All tested models have decent picture control, which is important in case you have graphics card that cannot run new games in resolutions that are different from monitor’s native resolution. This means that if you lower game resolution, picture won’t get stretched but will maintain ratio even if it is not 16:9. Even specifications of all monitors are almost the same with only one difference: declared contrast values…"

The glasses ... they do something! Mon, Oct 19, 2009 - 06:48 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: X-Bit Labs | Subject: Display
AMDs EyeFinity is getting a lot of press, much more so than nVIDIA's 3D Glasses; possibly this is because it is easy to post a video of EyeFinity in action.  In order to show a review or video in 3D the viewer has to have already picked up the glasses as well as a 120Hz monitor, at which point they are obviously already hooked.  Not to let such difficulties slow them down, X-bit Labs takes a look at ViewSonic's FuHzion VX2268wm 3D LCD.  Until now Samsung has had the corner on this market but not for long, ViewSonic provides higher image quality in terms of color accuracy and response time as far as X-bit is concerned.

"We are going to talk about a second monitor designed to work with Nvidia GeForce 3D Vision stereoscopic glasses. This time it is a solution from ViewSonic."

It hertz so good Mon, Sep 28, 2009 - 02:56 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: Tweaknews | Subject: Display
60Hz displays will probably be the next thing to fall victim to obsolescence as we start to see 120Hz displays appearing on the market.  The 1680x1050 Samsung Syncmaster 2233RZ is one example of the displays taking advantage of the new display technology and at $319 you don't pay too much of a premium for the privilege of doubling your hertz.  You will need a dual link DVI cable capable of sending 120Hz to get the full effect, but after that you can see what has Tweaknews so excited.

"Till now, most monitor releases have been carbon copy releases of technology that has been out for over three years. An image quality tweak here, a design tweak there was all the consumer could expect. But this monitor is different in a big way. The technology difference contained within this rather standard monitor screams out loud in a crowd of your average everyday LCD computer monitor. No longer does the gamer have to settle in order to enjoy their games and no longer do they have to wait. The 120hz technology is here and I hope it is here to stay."

The bad news is you will want to buy at least three Fri, Sep 11, 2009 - 04:58 PM
Thanks to AMD's new Eyefinity, LCDs may start coming in six packs in order to give you a huge screen, but in the mean time you can pick them up singly.  Take the Samsung 2233SW Black 21.5" Widescreen LCD, which ascribes to the new widescreen standard of 16x9 offering a perfect 1080p display.  It is currently available as a refurbish for $132, so pick up a few!  The 5ms response time might seem high, but Think Computers never found any problems gaming, and they were testing on a refurbished model themselves.

“It seems like computer monitors, especially LCD monitors are finally starting to move over to the 16:9 aspect ratio. When we first started seeing widescreen models they were all 16:10 aspect ratio, so you would have resolutions like 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1200. Now the 16:9 models are starting to come out offering full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080. Today we will be looking at one such monitor the Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW, which is a 22-inch display that features a 5ms response time, 15000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, and a very sleek design.""

At only 19", the 1366x768 Samsung SyncMaster 19-inch LD190G might seem a bit small to be interesting but this particular LCD has a few tricks up its sleeving.  ModSynergy liked its overall look as well as its viewing angles, which seemed better than most models to them.  The neat trick that it can do involved the built in USB plug, not intended for use as a hub but instead to allow you to use another monitor.  It is also very handy for use with a laptop as you can connect the monitor to it via that same USB plug and the help of some software.  Drop by for a look at this multi-talented, multi-display monitor.

"Today presents an interesting review of a new series of monitors coming from Samsung called LapFit, which looks to bring versatility and expandability to notebook users whom are seeking a quality multi-display solution without needing additional hardware or confusing adapters.

What is impressive about the new LapFit displays is the fact that Samsung offers you a chance to add multiple external monitors to a single PC without the need of additional graphics card or complex software installations, with everything being all done via USB connection. Read on to learn about the new Samsung SyncMaster 19-inch LD190G widescreen LapFit LCD monitor and to see if this is something that could peak your interests. Reviewing this monitor made it clear that the LapFit is not only useful just for the notebook crowd."

The other dimension to monitors Mon, Aug 10, 2009 - 12:29 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: Digital Trends | Subject: Display
If you are upgrading your monitor, you might want to consider picking up one of those neat new stereoscopic 3D monitors like the Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ.   Digital Trends tried out this 1680x1050 22", which also necessitates possession of a pair of NVIDA GeForce 3D Vision glasses plus a compatible NVDIA graphics card and Windows Vista, perhaps Win7 will work but it was not tested.  The 3ms response rate as well as the ability to support 120Hz really helped this display in non-3D situations as well.  Check out the review before you order this $400 monitor.
"Stereoscopic 3D technology for PCs – not to be confused with 3D graphics – has been around for more than half a decade, courtesy of graphics processor manufacturer Nvidia, but due to a dearth of displays that do justice to the technology, consumers have been slow to adopt it. However, Samsung’s 22-inch, 120Hz SyncMaster 2233RZ has been designed specifically to let users take advantage of the delights of stereoscopic three- dimensional viewing (it even comes plastered with Nvidia’s “GeForce 3D Vision Ready” logo to prove it). Based on our tests, it delivers as promised, producing theatre- quality 3D in the comfort of home."

The Samsung SyncMaster P2370 is a 23", 1920x1080 LCD which is about 1.25" thick.  The stylish design is the main focus of this display, The Tech Zone didn't spot ghosting but they didn't sound convinced it would be there for a hard core gamer.  The brightness and colour contrast were certainly acceptable, so this display might be best used to watch movies.  With it's ability to show true 1080p quality and its stylish design, it would satisfy most HTPC enthusiasts.

"This is quite possibly the slimmest LCD as part of Samsung's lineup, if not among the slimmest LCDs on the market today. The SyncMaster P2370 is a 23-inch widescreen monitor and the display portion measures just 30mm in thickness. That's pretty darn thin."

EVGA Introduces InterView Dual-Display Thu, Jul 16, 2009 - 01:28 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: EVGA | Subject: Display

BREA, California - July 16, 2009 - EVGA Corporation, the leading-edge graphics cards and motherboard manufacturer, today announced the availability of the InterView, with two rotatable super-thin high resolution 17" TFT LCD displays supported by one desktop stand. Designed for business presentations, researchers, physicians, financial consultants or creative professionals, the 1440 x 900 resolution screens provide plenty of space and individual video quality adjustments for even the most sensitive image viewing conditions.

The InterView screens rotate 180 degrees on a horizontal axis, inverting the on-screen image to be right-side up to viewers on either side of the desk. The screens also fold 90 degrees from completely closed to full width apart, accommodating any workspace while providing the convenience and increased productivity that working with multiple screens offers. Dual keyboard and mouse control make it easy for viewers to take turns manipulating data and images while the other viewer sees it from their side. The InterView comes with a built-in webcam and microphone allowing users to add and view more participants through video conferencing. The base features three USB ports and convenient controls for monitor settings, mic, power and DMS connections.

The ViewSonic VX2433wm is a $220, 23" LCD whose native 1920x1080 happens to be the same resolution as 1080p.  This means that your HD content will not have any pixel manipulation in order to display.  It also sports a fast enough response rate to allow ghosting free gaming.  Big Bruin would like to give you a warning about the built in speakers though.

"You would be hard pressed to find visual shortcomings with the ViewSonic VX2433wm. With a resolution of 1920x1080 you are able to display the latest HD content, something the majority of smaller monitors are not capable of. The monitor's visual qualities are complimented by being able to connect via all three of the most popular connections; HDMI, DVI and VGA."

An illuminating display Wed, Jun 17, 2009 - 01:10 PM
Jeremy Hellstrom | Source: AnandTech | Subject: Display
At first glance, when you are shopping for an LCD it looks like you have a lot of choices beyond simply choosing a size.  There are dozens of vendors with several models in at each display size, which adds up to a fairly long list when you are trying to decide.  Look a little closer and you might notice that almost every single one of these displays uses a TN matrix. This means that they have average colour accuracy and gamut and a poor vertical viewing angles, along with fast response times and a relatively low price.  When gaming, this really doesn't matter too much, even in FarCry 2 you spend far more time worried about the movements of your enemies than having the proper range of greens to make the trees look even better.  When you are watching a movie or streamed show on a 30" LCD, or trying your hand at the GIMP, suddenly that average ability to display proper colours becomes a serious drawback. 

AnandTech starts a review of the discontinued BenQ FP241VW, which then takes a sharp right turn into the technology available to make LCD matrices.  Learn about the technologies, their limitations and their strengths in this full review.

"For those that want something better, the choices are far more limited… and far more expensive. Upgrade from a TN panel to a similarly sized PVA or IPS panel and you can usually count on spending 50% to 100% more - or more! - on the purchase. That might be perfectly acceptable if the PVA/IPS panels were all universally better, but that's not always the case. Color accuracy is almost random it seems, with some IPS panels scoring exceptionally well, PVA panels running the gamut from great to average, and TN panels that likewise fall anywhere from excellent to mediocre. Viewing angles always favor IPS and PVA panels over TN panels, especially in terms of vertical viewing angles. Color gamut is tied to the backlight used in the panel, so you can have poor or great color gamut with any panel technology. Last but not least is image processing speed, and here's where things get interesting."

Ze goggles! Zey do nothing Fri, May 22, 2009 - 02:58 PM

For a bit under $200 you can pick up Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision googles and enjoy a somewhat 3D experience alone, on some games.  An alternative has popped up; one that does not require you to don the glasses and that will show the 3D view to everyone.  The iZ3D H220Z1 3D Monitor will run you a bit more than a single nVIDIA 3D vision, and displays in 3D ... more or less.  When ExtremeTech started the review they treated it like any normal monitor when they ran it through their tests the display did not fare well.  Undaunted they jumped into testing the 3D capabilities, only to be let down again.  See what the problems were here.

"As we mentioned in our review of Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision kit, 3D display technology is nothing new. Consumer active 3D technology for games dates back to the SegaScope 3D for the Sega Master System, two decades ago. Since then, the methods to make graphics appear to "pop out from the screen" have been steadily evolving and improving, but always come with some compromises. In the case of GeForce 3D Vision, the best implementation we've seen so far, the drawbacks are several—you need an expensive 120Hz monitor, a pricey active LCD shutter glasses kit, and you're tied down to a GeForce graphics card.

If you're thinking "there has to be a better way," you'll be happy to hear that iZ3D is right there with you. Yes, you still need a special (and more expensive) monitor, but you only need some really cheap passive polarized glasses, and the technology works with both Nvidia and ATI graphics cards."

ViewSonic doesn't need your scaling engine Wed, May 06, 2009 - 03:33 PM
The reason that the ViewSonic VX2433wm 23.6-inch is called an HD LCD Monitor is because it's native resolution is 1920x1080 (16x9 not 16x10), meaning 1080i/p content can be played without any image manipulation.  ViewSonic kept that theme with the inputs as well, having an HDMI in for playing with HD consoles or a Blu-ray player, as well as the more familiar DVI-D input.  Think Computers tried it out and rather liked both watching movies and playing games, and were only disappointed in the onboard speakers.

"High Definition (HD), is the new thing. Everyone wants an HDTV, a Blu-ray player, Sony PS3, etc. With all of these components why not have an HD computer monitor as well? You can now get a Blu-ray player for your computer and many new HD monitors have HDMI input so you can connect anything up to it. The monitor we are looking at today does have one such HDMI input and looks great. The VX2433wm is a 23.6-inch widescreen (16:9) monitor that features a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 2ms response time, and quite a few input choices."

Soyo on display Wed, Apr 29, 2009 - 01:43 PM
For raw stats, the 24" Soyo Pearl TFT LCD sports a native 1920 x 1200 resolution with a 2ms response time and a 1000:1 contrast ratio; though as with all LCDs, the exact definitions and measurements may be other than you might expect.  R&B Mods spent a goodly amount of time taking pictures of the various display tests they ran as well as some general usage shots.  The price may seem a bit steep, but compared to a 22" monitor you do get a lot more real estate.

"Sometimes it's more important to choose a high-quality product that suits your needs rather than choosing the largest, more expensive one. Today, we will be testing that theory when we examine a monitor that Geeks.com sent us: the Soyo 24" Pearl LCD monitor. While other computer monitors out there are larger and offer better specifications, does this monitor provide a decent picture at a reasonable price? Read on to find out."

The ASUS VW266H looks perfectly normal at first glance, a 25.5" LCD that runs at 1920X1200 and has a 2ms grey to grey response rate is a common sight now; the $350 price tag is unique.  You aren't limited to using this as a PC monitor either, with HDMI plugs and S/PDIF out, it is perfect for gaming consoles or even attached to an HD cable box or PVR.  The only caveat that Ryan found is present on all TN matric LCDs; the viewing angle sucks and you had better plan on sitting directly in front of the monitor.  Check out his full review at the top of the page.

"The ASUS VW266H and VK266H offer an outstanding combination of features, screen size and price to really put a stamp on the LCD monitor market. If you are a gamer on a budget or just a PC user looking for a display that can also be used for your console gaming or DVR set top box, then definitely give this ASUS monitor a shot!"
