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.

E/T/C are specialists in high power projection both in slide and video format and provide support with image creation and programming.
With the PIGI and Onlyview systems E/T/C have been projecting on site during world class events such as the Asian Games, the Olympics and the Queen’s Golden Jubilee at Buckingham Palace.
ETC has been specialising in producing stunning, large format projections onto buildings, interesting spaces and structures since 1994. These images can be produced using either slide projection, video projection or a mix of the two.
ETC’s work has been seen around the world. We have supplied image projection solutions for a range of different clients from state occasions through theatre, rock and roll and corporate clients. A sample of the events that we have worked on would include the Doha Asian Games, The Edinburgh Military Tattoo, London’s Official New Years Eve events, The Queens Golden Jubilee, Ford, Liverpool Culture Company, Renault, the BBC and the MTV Europe Awards
There is literally no size barrier to the images we can produce. We keep adding projectors until we have achieved the size you require. For the Sultan of Oman, we created an image 400m wide by 200m tall onto a mountain. However we are just as at home creating a one or two projector backdrop to a Rock show, or a three or for projector Son et Lumière onto a stately home.
Video First for London
New Year’s Eve Projections
Video was used for the first time to project giant images onto the 353 ft high Shell Building on the South Bank of the River Thames for the Mayor of London’s 2008-09 New Year’s Eve celebrations.
E/T/C London created a projection concept and suggested that they harness the flexibility and power of video for the first time on this event, on which E/T/C has worked for producers Jack Morton Worldwide for the last 5 years. With LG Electronics coming onboard as a new sponsor, they really wanted to up the production values, making the show something extra special and more spectacular this year.
Says E/T/C’s Ross Ashton, “It was another milestone in giant video projection for E/T/C London, and probably the UK’s largest New Year video installation to date as well as a great opportunity for us to move the company forward.”
E/T/C’s Richard Porter designed the technical installation, which utilised 24 Christie S+20K projectors, all rigged vertically, and run in 12 overlaid pairs. These covered a 12 zone grid – 3 wide and 4 high – measuring 55 metres wide by 110 tall on the river facing fascia of the building.
At 2888 x 5184 pixels, this offered far higher resolution than HD.
The projectors were positioned 150 metres away from the Shell Tower in a 12 metre tall purpose built structure, together with a complex E/T/C OnlyView® control system that was set up in an adjacent cabin, and operated by Richard Porter for the show.
The 30 minute looped show was programmed by Porter, assisted by Karen Monid, onto 18 OnlyView® media servers. Sixteen servers were used for visuals, while two ran a bespoke soundtrack including sponsors messages which were then broadcast to the public via a Delta Sound PA system.
Ross Ashton collaborated closely with Jack Morton’s Kate MacKay on the creation of the artwork.
The image files involved were massive, and the handling of this aspect alone required E/T/C London’s detailed expertise. BBH created the LG branding and a series of celebrity ‘talking heads’ with New Year greetings, featuring the Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Dame Helen Mirren and others.
Another challenge was the installation of a preview monitor system, set up to show the client detailed and accurate show visualizations during the set up and programming period. E/T/C’s Paul Highfield came up with a very cost-effective video wall solution for this, using Dexion racking and bit of ingenuity!
The get-in commenced on the 27th December, with E/T/C engineers Robin Darraux, Patrice Lefevre and Glenn Jenkins. Jack Morton’s project manager was Jim Donald.
Projections kicked off at 8p.m. on New Year’s Eve as up to 400,000 revellers gathered in central London to await the rollover moment into 2009. A cool countdown clock comprising a burning fuse that snaked around the building as the minute-to-midnight moment approached was visualized by Ashton and produced in After Effects by Porter.

Kortrijk, Belgium, 26 February 2008. Barco, a market leader in LED display technology, is delighted to announce two new additions to its range of indoor LED displays. The NX-6 is a 6mm true black LED display, while the ILite 6 BK increases the contrast ratio of the widely-used ILite platform. As a result, Barco now has a full indoor LED line up designed to serve the needs of every part of the rental and staging market.
Shown for the first time at its Annual European Rental Partner meeting, currently being held in the Mediterranean islands of Malta, the NX-6 is a brand new 6mm indoor LED display based on the same revolutionary black LED platform as its 4mm sister, the NX-4. The NX series deliver the deepest black levels of any product on the market. Combined with a light output of 2,000 Nit, the NX series offers a phenomenal contrast ratio of 4000:1 for the NX-4 and 4200:1 for the NX-6.
But the black LED is only one element that makes the NX series unique. Key advances in base materials, mechanical design and color processing have raised the bar of LED displays to new heights of image quality. Thanks to the magnet fixation, the separate control box and the click locking mechanics, Barco’s NX LED displays offer high creativity possibilities combined with a fast and easy set up and front serviceability.
Also been shown for the very first time in Malta, is the ILite 6 BK, a new 6mm black LED display based on the well established ILite technology. Thanks to the black LED and the newly redesigned shaders, the ILite 6 BK features a contrast ratio of 3000:1 with a 2000 Nit brightness output. Barco’s ILite 6 BK is compatible with the full range of existing ILite peripherals and sources. It is highly reliable and gives the best visual performance for a minimum investment, hereby ensuring a maximum return on investment.
“We are pleased to present our customers with a full indoor LED display line-up,” says Andrew Healey Global Marketing Manager (Events) of Barco’s Media and Entertainment division. “We now have an LED display solution to match the needs of every rental partner and for any type of budget. If customers are looking for the ultimate in contrast, seamlessness and creativity, they will opt for the NX-series of displays. For customers who are looking to add LED to their fleet for the first time, the ILite family is an excellent choice. Thanks to our improved calibration technology, all our LED displays also have excellent color uniformity, making them highly suitable for cross renting.”
