Eizo announced that they are ready to ship a new FlexScan monitor, the S24232W-H LCD monitor with DisplayPort. The 24-inch monitor includes a native WUXGA resolution (1,920 x 1,200), 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 360 cd/m2 brightness and a response time of 16 milliseconds. It also sports an ambient light sensor, HDCP compatibility and the titular DisplayPort. The unit will ship next month in Japan and will cost around $938.

LG recently decided to show off their oft-rumored double-sided LCD panel. The display can be seen from both sides! Totally needless and cool. The unit is also skinnier than a supermodel. Alas, the company was just in "see what we can do" mode as no mention was made regarding release date or price.

Although it’s difficult to think of practical uses for the technology, it sure would help the world look more like a sci-fi movie. Utopian, not dystopian. That’s never a bad thing.

Infiniti’s SUV/Crossover EX35 sports a new Around View Monitor system with cameras at the front, rear, and sides of the vehicle, to help with parking…or spying.

I dare you to tell me that this doesn’t look exactly like that medical scanner that Bones used in the original Star Trek series. He’d wave this thing over someone’s body and could immediately diagnose whatever was or wasn’t wrong. Of course, that’s not really the case here, as this device is designed to monitor the healing of wounds by measuring a wound’s width and depth without physical contact. By storing the data, the wound healing progression can be more easily tracked and treatments adjusted, making this laser-based device well worth its $6,000 pricetag.

For a mere $279.99, you can get this 22-inch widescreen monitor. Only available at Best Buy, the display features a 700:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, resolutions up to 1680 x 1050, VGA, D-sub and DVI-D inputs, and a set of built-in stereo speakers.
