Not feeling enough for the 16:9 ratio? How about the 16:10 UltraSharp 2009W LCD from Dell? The new 20-inch 16:10 widescreen monitor does up a 1680 x 1050 resolution, with 36% more pixel content than Dell’s 19-incher. The display also outperforms its budget friendly E207WFP predecessor with a 102% color gamut, 2000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 5ms response time, and four USB 2.0 ports. Only inputs available are DVI with HDCP and VGA, but perhaps all can be forgiven with that $289 pricetag. It’s available - hurry get your hands on this baby now!

The title saids it all. Alienware was showcasing a swank new curved display here at CES, and apparently, the DLP RPTV is a must-have for gamers. Hear this: 0.02-millisecond response time. It will be in production soon, but the price is not known yet - looks costly to me :S

We have seen the 150-inch Plasma and the coolest 52-inch multi-touch, but we’re just fine with the 27-inch prototype Sony mentioned during its press conference yesterday. With a contrast ratio of greater than 1,000,000:1 (not a misprint) to go with its 1080p resolution, and >100% NTSC color reproduction. Sony is really the big daddy for television!

Background about LG.Philips: LG.Philips was formed as a joint venture by the Korean electronics company LG Electronics and the Dutch company Koninklijke Philips Electronics in 1999 to manufacture LCD. Coming next week at CES 2008, LG Phillips will be presenting world’s largest displays with multi-touch capability. Few days ago we mentioned the 150 inch TV. This 52 inch multi-touch LCD is 5 inches larger than last model shown in IMID 2007.

Panasonic, one of the largest plasma manufacturer, presented the World Largest consumer plasma flat TV once again at CES show 2008, with 47 inches bigger in diagonal compare to last model. The prototype was developed by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. It has a size dimension of 138 x 79 inches and is big enough to display a full scale adult! Keep your eyes open at CES, it will be there look to reclaim world largest flat panel set by Sharp’s 108” LCD TV. The race is on.

The race will never end for the World Largest TV

Rumor: Sony is planning to discontinue sales of all rear-projection HDTVs, after current inventories are exhausted to focus on the hot-selling Bravia LCD lines. This Week in Consumer Electronics is reporting that a Sony spokesperson has told them that “We are moving our resources more toward LCD TV, because that’s what people really want.” In addition, Sony’s making a “no promises” effort to fill backorders for the KDF46E3000 and KDS60A3000. The move isn’t exactly unprecedented or even all that surprising — Sony simply joins Toshiba, Philips and Hitachi, who have all stopped producing rear-projection sets. However, Sony’s SXRDs were still extremely popular and it’s strange to see them get dropped just like that.

Q: Would you buy rear-projection TV or the main stream TV like LCD or Plasma?
