As you probably already know if you read our previous article, the Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX uses a new concept of two connected monitors that help each other in providing more applications for the user: the main display is a 22-inch LCD with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 pixels, 300 cd/m² brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio, while his little partner of 7 inches has 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 200 cd/m² brightness and 400:1 contrast ratio.

Why do we need a dual monitor when the two displays are not even equal, and what was so special about this to impress the Customer Electronics Show visitors this year in Las Vegas?
That’s because the little screen is the key entry to a new multimedia level by providing built-in 2MP web camera, dual-array microphone and speaker, these besides the normal monitor functions.

You can use the 7-inch monitor for Instant Messaging, media players, Skype, calendar and other applications, while continuing your main work on the 22-inch screen.
Everything sound good but here’s what it’ll make it sound great: DisplayLink has just announced to add its USB Display Technology to this monitor model, removing the need for additional power connectors between the main monitor and the smaller one.

So if you get the Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX youcan place its smaller brother in any position convenient for you, like above or on a side.
You can also switch between portrait and landscape modes.
Now it really deserves the Innovations Award honoree at CES 2008, doesn’t it?

During 16-20 April, at Fondamenta Jahier Via Solari 37-39 in Milan, Italy, will take place the Japan Design 2008 exhibition hosted by 15 Japanese companies which focus on design innovation.
JVC’s LT-42DS9 LCD display concept is not only a television but it uses special technologies such as mechatronics, high-quality audio and video, high efficient encoding, as well as high-density recording and playback, to create the right sound environment capable of bringing the viewer into the realism of the video experience.

It is a slim device at only 74 mm, conceived by Airy Design and JVC with a floating image-like effect, touch-sensitive buttons, and thin glossy bezel.
Features include DynaPixHD video processor, full HD, 7,500:1 dynamic contrast ratio, DVB-T-Tuner, 500 cd/m2 brightness, and 178/178 degree viewing angle.
It measures 981 x 627 x 74 mm at a weight of 19.5 kg.

The AV Furniture Prototype is an accessory created for the JVC’s slim TV concept, designed to look stylish, and made of a special metallic frame that gives the impression of a floating TV.
The user can swivel to the desired viewing angle and place additional audio equipment in the box.

JVC removed the window on the rack door used for checking equipment operation and replaced it with a separate high-sensitivity infrared receptor mounted on the flap door of the rack which transmits remote control signals to stored equipment.
