1.The EVGA Interview™ Display
2.NEC Curved Monitor
3.iView (experimental)
1.The EVGA Interview™ Display is redefining today’s face to face business interaction. With two displays capable of 1440×900 resolution, along with a 1.3 megapixel webcam and three port USB Hub, the EVGA Interview™ Dual Monitor System is not just another display.
The innovation does not stop there however. Both displays are capable of being rotated independently vertically and horizontally. When the display is flipped 180 degrees vertically, the screen intelligently flips so you can effectively share documents, images, and files with ease. This is the ideal monitor for anyone and everyone who communicates face to face.
Now when sharing information with friends, colleagues or employees, never again will you need to worry about poor viewing angles, knocking over items on your desk as you attempt to rotate your existing display or huddling around a single monitor. The displays rotate smoothly, and auto-flip the image without interruptions, even outside of the operating system!
Of course more displays mean more desktop space, and more desktop space means improved productivity. The two 1440×900 resolution displays can be set up as a clone (same image on both), or a span (extended desktop mode) with a supported graphics card. The revolutionary EVGA Interview™ Display will change the way you interact on a daily basis!
Graphics and multimedia analyst, Dr. Jon Peddie of Jon Peddie Research did a multi-monitor usage study and found an increase in productivity from 50 percent or more. “EVGA now enables in a single system what used to be called a ‘partners’ desk, traditionally facilitating teamwork between two executives while facing each other. Now users can flip the EVGA monitor over and both see the same thing. Doctors can use it in a patient-doctor relationship for reviewing X-rays with patients, teachers can use it for one-on-one tutoring, engineers can use it where they want to have a collaborative discussion on a design…and you can use it yourself for having more screen real estate because the more you can see - the more you can do.”

2.NEC Curved Monitor
NEC was showing off their curved monitor model CRVD-42DWX+ at CES 2008. It’s a 42-inch 2880×900 resolution 32:10 aspect-ratio 10000:1 contrast-ratio LED-backlit DLP display with a 0.02ms response time – great for 3-D gaming and widescreen & immersive apps. Same (?) as the Alienware Curved display also seen at CES…it’s made by the same folks, namely little-known ODM Ostendo Technologies Inc.
CRVD Technology
CRVD. Pronounced “curved.”
CRVD is Ostendo’s revolutionary new scalable technology that allows us to build curved-screen displays that offer unparalleled performance and immersion. The CRVD’s smooth curvature along with its vivid LED colors and blazing fast response time draw the user in and create an experience unlike that of any other monitor.
Vivid LED colors.
The CRVD uses the latest LED technology to deliver bright, accurate colors that are excellent for graphics and video work, or just to impress.
Blazing fast.
The CRVD has a blistering fast response time of less than .02 milliseconds, so there’s no ghosting in moving images and animation.
No special hardware needed.
CRVD displays work with existing graphics cards and games, so there is no need for special hardware or software. Check the compatibility list for further details.
The CRVD’s seamless curved screen engages 75% of the Human Visual System (HVS) peripheral vision, creating an unmatched immersive viewing experience. Whether it’s work or play, prepare to be engrossed.
Be more productive.
Curved screens offer additional productivity benefits above and beyond what flat monitors can offer. Research has shown that screen curvature increases productivity and reduces frustration when compared to multiple flat monitors.1
Improved ergonomics.
In multi-monitor usage, eye strain is often experienced because the focal distance varies across the displays. The CRVD eliminates eye fatigue because the screen is curved and the user’s focal distance remains constant across the screen.
With its roomy 2880-by-900 resolution, the CRVD will expand your desktop and give you extra space to be more productive. In fact, research has shown that wide desktops improve productivity more than 30% compared to a single monitor.2
See what you’ve been missing.
The CRVD’s ultra-wide 32:10 aspect ratio is 180% wider than 16:9 displays and 240% wider than 4:3, letting you see more of what’s important.
Like having two monitors in one.
The CRVD has all the benefits of multiple monitors without all the hassles. Say goodbye to disjointed desktops, split windows, multiple input cables, and that unsightly gap between monitors.

3.iVIEW
The iView curved monitor, designed by Nuno Teixeira, is both compelling and definitely not post-iconic…a kind of stretched and curved double iMac all-in-one desktop computer.
The LCD iView, as it’s officially called, is unfortunately just a concept and so not many details are available. The iView has a curved panoramic double LCD screen on the front and a smaller one on the back to benefit your colleagues. It has two video cameras, one in front & the other at the back with which to monitor those self same ‘colleagues’. Bluetooth also.
…nicely done…the iView dates to Feb 2007 & was perhaps the inspiration for the NEC/Alienware curved monitors that cropped up in CES 2008.
iView – from Nuno Teixeira’s Portfolio on Behance
—Concept year: 2/2007
The next step in LCD for professionals “the LCD iView” the first screen with two distinctive characteristics: a double panoramic screen with a unique curvature accompanying the natural eye curvature and movement.
Eliminate the use of two screens to achieve a larger work area. The use of dual screen, strategically put together side by side, originates areas where the visibility is hindered, not only by the proximity, but by the high perspective created by the curve-free plans, as well. With the iView you will get no undesired reflections, remarkably increased working flow and with the presence of all the commands and working plans in one big area, you can now drag them around or zoom them in or out, without any of the usual unnecessary physical interruptions or adjustments.
Get “another” view of you project. The large double screen iView comprises in its back another practical innovation - an extra LCD - extremely useful for both colleges and assistants. It allows them to follow your work in progress, without any effort, which instantly increases the creative exchange.
Other Characteristics:
Image by bluetooth
Wireless, it only uses electric cable
Two web-cams, one at the front and another at the back.

The project took place at the LED Skydome at Harmony Times Square in Suzhou Industrial Park near Shanghai, writes David Davies. Incorporating a remarkable 20 million ultra-bright LEDs, the Skydome makes use of a 3D-capable Renkus-Heinz ceiling loudspeaker system with Camco amplifiers.
Now said to be the largest LED screen in the world at 350,000sqm, the installation sits above a vast shopping complex that includes food, beverage, retail and entertainment outlets. The Skydome is illuminated by an array of Keyframe-programmed visual effects, including moving blue skies with clouds and a piano keyboard.
To satisfy the demand for an audio system that synchronises at street level with the images moving along the 500m-long screen, Beijing Zhongguang Radio & TV Engineering Installation Corporation installed a 106-channel surround system featuring 106 Renkus-Heinz STX-7/44AS-WR high-power weather-resistant loudspeakers. Some 38 DRS18-2BW dual 18in weather-resistant subwoofers act as the principal audio source.
Power comes from 160-plus Camco Tecton Series amplifiers, equipped with UCA-T-AN cards that enable the WINCAI (Camco Amplifier Interface) audio management system. These cards allow both complete system management and local signal processing adjustment via each amplifier’s UCA controller modules. Camco’s CISUS software provides remote operation of the CAI audio network management control software through each amplifier’s RJ-45 interface.
Equipment for the prestigious project was supplied by Foshan Tian Chuang Zhongdian Trading Co Ltd.
Speaking to II, Renkus-Heinz vice president of international sales, Karl Brunvoll, noted the contribution of its distributor for China, TICO/CAH Professional Sound, and said that the manufacturer was “very excited to be associated with a project this complex and unique. I have been working in China for many years, and it is great to see how [the installation] companies are developing and becoming real technological powerhouses.”
Brunvoll added that he expects to see “significant growth” in China for the ICONYX series of digitally controlled column loudspeakers.

Consumer electronics giant Sony reported record sales, with products such as its Bravia liquid crystal display (LCD) TVs, Vaio PCs and Cybershot digital cameras leading the way.
The company reported record net profits as sales rose 9.6 per cent to 2.859 trillion yen (£13.5 billion).
Sonys electronics division experienced a 10.2 per cent growth of sales, though not all products performed as well.
Sales of rear projection TVs did not impress and the firm has planned to withdraw them from the market.
The company will continue its development of organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology which is brighter than current technology and provides energy savings.
However, chief financial officer Nobuyuki Oneda said: “I do not see a rapid growth in production [of OLED TVs] in the future.”
While sales of the PlayStation 3 games console soared to an all-time high of 4.9 million units, they did not reach expectations.
Rapid Electronics are one of the UKs leading suppliers of electronic components, electrical products, and industrial supplies to the Consumer Electronics sector.
