<p>Despite being discovered on Dell&#8217;s site, the monitor hasn&#8217;t been officially announced yet. We assume the system is IR-based (meaning it&#8217;s limited to 2 simultaneous touch points), tracking a finger and stylus alike as you drag and drop or pan/zoom.</p>
<p>Otherwise, specs are like any other monitor, with 1920&#215;1080 resolution, 1000:1 contrast and quick 2ms response time, along with HDMI/DVI-in and a webcam/mic combo. No word yet on pricing or release, but we like the idea. A lot.

<p>What sells me on them, though: they&#8217;ll also pivot between landscape and portrait orientations. Nice. [<a href="http://www.doublesight.com/product/?cid=10">DoubleSight</a>]</p>

The U2410&#8217;s IPS panel makes it the more interesting, albeit more expensive of the two.<span id="more-353546"></span></p>
<p>Dell claims the display covers 100% of the SRGB colour space and 96% of the Adobe RGB spectrum. The ST2410 uses the same old TN panels that have been around forever now, and trades some of the U2410&#8217;s colour accuracy for affordability.</p>
<p>Considering it&#8217;s an IPS panel, the U2410&#8217;s cost isn&#8217;t outrageous, but it&#8217;s still up there. I just hope these things drop in price soon. My 17-inch monitor circa 2003 is begging for an upgrade, and as much as I don&#8217;t need it, I would love an IPS panel. The U2410 goes for $US599, and the TN2410 runs $US259. Both are up for grabs today. [<a href="http://dell.com">Dell</a> via <a href="http://www.electronista.com/articles/09/09/14/dell.u2410.and.st2410.lcds/">Electronista</a>]</p>

<p>Set to land next month, the MS monitors come in either 21.5 or 23-inch models, have 1080p resolution and a 2ms response time. They also rest on a circular ring, which apparently means their design was inspired by binary, with the flat monitor being a &#8216;one&#8217; and the circular stand being a &#8216;zero&#8217;.</p>
<p><del datetime="2009-09-11T00:28:08+00:00">No pricing yet, which kinda sucks.</del> Just got pricing from Asus:</p>
<blockquote><p>The MS246H will be available this month. It’s RRP is $389.<br />
The 23” RRP is $369, available mid-Oct.<br />
The 21.5” may be available in mid-Nov – no RRP yet.</p></blockquote>

<p>The new Asus Designo MS Series 20-inch to 23.6-inch LCDs are, at least from these renders, a pretty sharp line of monitors. Donning the theme of binary, you&#8217;ll notice contrasting elements like white/black and 1/0 worked into the design&mdash;which manifests most prominently in the 0-like ring stand that supports the 1-like frame. This ring stand allows users to tilt the monitor with the pressure of a single finger.</p>
<p>The performance specs are just as promising, with a 2ms response, 1080P playback (in some models) and 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio (standard contrast unspecified). So what do they cost? When will they go on sale? We don&#8217;t know yet.

<p>Because the KVM offers a native 2560&#215;1600 resolution at 60Hz (or 3840&#215;2400 at a lower refresh rate) with 7.1-channel audio. It&#8217;ll work with Macs and PCs, and has hotkey and push-button switching. At $US220, it&#8217;s a little pricey for a dual-monitor KVM, but we are talking DisplayPort here.

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve already told you that legitimate flexible OLED displays really are coming now, but thanks to some Japanese researchers they could be more reliable&#8212;and flexible!&#8212;than we first imagined.
In layman&#8217;s terms, the innovation arrives thanks to a liquid semiconducting layer that potentially bends and flexes more reliably than the &#8220;vacuum thermal evaporation&#8221; technique employed by Samsung.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/4/2009/08/thumb160x_liquid-oled.img_assist_custom.jpg" alt="" class="left" />We&#8217;ve already told you that legitimate <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2009/06/flexible_oled_screens_are_really_coming_now-2/">flexible OLED displays really are coming now</a>, but thanks to some Japanese researchers they could be more reliable&mdash;and flexible!&mdash;than we first imagined.<span id="more-346562"></span></p>
<p>In layman&#8217;s terms, the innovation arrives thanks to a liquid semiconducting layer that potentially bends and flexes more reliably than the &#8220;vacuum thermal evaporation&#8221; technique employed by Samsung.</p>
<p>In the researchers&#8217; case, the liquid, officially known as ethylhexyl carbazole (EHCz), will constantly deliver a fresh supply of semiconductors to the emitting layer. To you and me that means better, more flexible screens that might not degrade as quickly as once thought, if and when they arrive in the (near?) future. Just don&#8217;t try and drink one.
