Take a look on LG’s Canvas Crystal X, aka 47LB90FD, a 47-inch LCD TV featuring 1080p resolution, 50000:1 contrast ratio and a base studded with 1000 Swarovski crystals. Now you may be thinking this set is ridiculously expensive, being laden with crystals and all, but Swarovski crystals are really just pieces of glass with high lead content, so first of all they don’t really contribute to a ridiculous price, and second of all, you’ll want to make sure the young ‘uns don’t swallow these.

Available in Korea for KRW3.3m ($3194/£1629/€2053), there’s no word yet on when this most sparkly of tellies will make it to bling-hungry Brits.

The YST-001 speaker lighting system costs 134, 400 Yen in Japan, about US $1251.

Pioneer KRP-600M Plasma TV is part of the high-end KURO PDP series. This plasma display is specially made for Audio-Visual fans, who demand the high quality pictures. The new PDP monitor does not have a built-in digital terrestrial tuner or a speaker, so “the users can select products of their choice for the KRP-600M,” said Nishio. The KRP-600M is only 41mm thick at its thinnest part and 64mm at the thickest part. When using a wall hanger, the distance from the wall is 89mm.

The specifications were not unveiled, other than the fact that it has a resolution of 1920 x 1080. According to Takeshi Hama, deputy counselor of Home AV Engineering Group at Product Strategy Department of Pioneer Marketing Division, the full On/Off contrast ratio of the KRP-600M is enhanced to 100,000:1, while that of the PDP-6010HD is 20,000:1.

The Pioneer KRP-600M Plasma TV will be available in Japan later this month for around $7,921

HP this morning upgraded its monitor lineup with a screen it claims is the most affordable display yet for video editors and other pros working in color-accurate situations. The DreamColor is designed with help from DreamWorks Animation SKG and uses a rare 24-inch LCD panel that produces 30-bit color, generating more than one billion colors; the color range is 64 times that of even better everyday LCDs and also results in blacks four times deeper than normal LCDs. An LED backlight both contributes to a better contrast ratio (1,000:1) and also ensures that colors are uniform across the entire screen.Motion video performance is still strong with a 6ms gray-to-gray pixel response time, a 12ms absolute response time, and support for artifact-free video playback at 60Hz (for North American and Japanese video) and 50Hz (for countries using PAL).

A single model, the LP2480zx, starts the line at $3,499 and includes connections for DVI and the new DisplayPort 1.1 format for computers, HDMI 1.3 and component video for HDTV sources, and both RCA and S-video for basic analog video. A four-port USB hub is built in with the screen, which is available effective today.

During last Computex in Taiwan, Acer introduced its latest Full HD 16: 9 ratio screen , the P224W. The new monitor of 24” is in 1920×1080 resolution, offers a dynamic contrast ratio of 20000: 1, a gray-to-gray response in time to 2ms and is equipped with an HDMI input. We don’t have further information at the moment, especially concerning the price, availability, and other specs.

ASUS announced it will soon launch two new LCD monitors, the VW223B and VW202B, with EzLink connection technology. The 22-inch widescreen VW223B and 20.1-inch widescreen VW202B will be the first to feature EzLink, which will allow users to connect up to six of the monitors to a PC or notebook with only a USB 2.0 interface, not requiring additional graphics cards. Both new monitors feature WSXGA+ (1680×1050) resolution. Before connecting each monitor, an EzLink driver needs to be installed on the PC in question. The software will automatically place all windows from secondary monitors back on the main display once the USB connection is broken. Upon reconnection, the monitors return to their previous configurations. Both monitors sport a 300cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio and 3000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, along with a 5 ms response time. Apart from the larger screen size, the VW223B’s biggest trump card over the VW202B is its integrated 3-port USB hub.

Either EzLink display will be available in black only, although ASUS has not revealed prices or release dates.
