In case you’re the type of person that doesn’t like to miss an important episode of your favorite TV series, check out this portable 7-inch LCD that will become your best partner in a matter of minutes. Made in Japan by Nikkai, the LCD is able to receive 2 signals, digital and analog.

This portable TV has a battery life of 2 hours, which can be considered good for what it has to offer, and taking in consideration the size of the screen. There are 3 good extras that stand out:

- remote control
- AV cable
- integrated stand to mount it on top of a table

If the integrated speakers aren’t good enough for your needs, don’t worry because you just use headphones, or better yet, external speakers.

Think of this Century LCD-4300U as a way to improve your performance when working on a laptop, or to keep your attention focused on the main screen while the unnecessary stuff goes for the secondary screen, be it a MSN conversation or your RSS reader.

Marking extraordinary leap in display technology, Casio has announced a two-inch display that features 960×540 resolution. What this means is that there are 546 pixels per inch supporting 16.8 million colors. By comparison, those seven-inch portable media players feature 800×480 resolution LCDs.

The Casio display uses a proprietary Hyper Amorphous Silicon TFT (HAST) LCD. They are yet to hit mass production, but damn, I can’t wait to see what they can do with four inches!

If Facebook doesn’t have anymore secrets to you anymore, you must have discovered the LifeChangingBox FaceBook game promoted by Lowe New York a while ago. For about a month, from June to July people had to guess what the product inside the Life Changing Box was. And it proved to be Sharp. Some lucky winners went home with thousands of dollars worth in prizes. And that was just the begining of Sharp’s Life Changing promotion

As you can see in the video Sharp will continuously work to offer us a better LCD experience as they have quite a few years of LCD innovation. Besides that Sharp will work on including solar energy in their production lines so here’s another company thinking eco-friendly thoughts.

And since Sharp is the HDTV official of Major League Baseball you might want to try one of their LCD’s to get the full Olympic action coming from China starting tomorrow. Any sports action will certainly run smoothly on a Sharp LCD.

Now I am only sorry for not getting that much Sharp Facebook time… Not that I would have ever guessed who was in the box!

Touch screen LCDs are beginning to surface more and more. We’ve seen the Shuffle 19 last week at Computex 2008, it’s time for Princeton Technologies to show us an LCD tablet for the Japanese market. Would you use one? Let’s say you are a regular Joe like me, not an artist who would love to get his hands on a stylus and make his work more efficient. Will you play with that a large touchscreen? I mean is it healthy for my eyes to get even closer to the screen? Is it healthy for my hands to be held in an uncomfortable position?

I have to tell you I like what I see here. First impression always counts a lot when making a choice, so I would definitely give this Shuffle XP19 touchscreen LCD a try. Sure I’d need Windows 7 or any kind of OS supporting touchscreens but I’d still give it a try. Mainly because it looks good. Let’s see what I think about it after we go through it’s specs!

I like what I see so far. Imagine your cell phone for a second. It has two LCDs on both sides and the both reflect what you are doing. Hmm… why would I need that? How is that useful for a flip phone? It’s a cool concept that can be used for anything that has an LCD incorporated. But for a flip (smart)phone it will make it only look good! Correct me if I’m wrong.

LG are supposed to launch this technology somewhere next week and I am sure they are going to tell us when and where it will be released and what devices will incorporate it.
