Dell has those living in Asia in their sights with four LED monitors primed to hit the market - we're talking about the 23-inch ST23220L which comes with LED backlighting, 1080p resolution. 5ms response time and a 250-nit brightness. Since this is an anti-glare panel, your eyes won't suffer from fatigue even after looking at it for long hours (and from various angles, we might add). As for the 21.5-inch ST2220L, it will feature VGA, DVI and HDMI inputs, while the similarly sized ST2220M will lack HDMI connectivity, but otherwise in all essence is an identical twin as the ST2220L. If your budget is at the most basic level, then the low-end 20-inch IN2020M ought to do the trick without looking tacky - after all, it comes with a high-gloss slim black bezel, HDCP-compliant DVI input, VGA connector, an 8,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, a 1600 x 900 resolution, 5ms response time and a tilt-adjustable stand. Bear in mind that all four monitors are Energy Star 5.0 compliant, so to a certain extent it ought to give you peace of mind that your purchase isn't a power guzzler. No idea on pricing or whether they will hit Stateside or not.

Among all major electronics manufacturers, Sony is betting especially high on 3D. And the two main areas for the future 3D-fication of the company are TVs and computers, it seems. Big S yesterday announced in Tokyo that by the end of 2011, almost all of their TVs sized 40 inches and larger will be 3D-enabled.

At the moment, just 50% of the eight newer Sony models in question (in Japan) feature 3D. But Sony says only a few of their TVs (those with a low price tag) won’t get 3D in the future. In Japan, the company expects 1 million 3D TVs to be sold until 2011, and it wants to capture 50% of that market.

What’s interesting is that even though Sony already churned out a ton of 3D-enabled products, the company has been relatively quiet on the 3D computer front so far. NEC, Fujitsu and Toshiba, on the other hand, already have those devices in their line-up.

But you can now expect a new Vaio notebook with 3D capability, LED backlighting and a full HD display to launch next spring (in Japan first). Sony didn’t reveal more details but showed a prototype Vaio (pictured above) with said features, a 16-inch display and a 3D Blu-ray drive.

QUO Computer has just announced its latest maxQ2 (squared) custom computer which was specially developed by Apple enthusiasts who are extremely well versed with Mac OS X. It is interesting to note that QUO Computer's maxQ2 (squared)

The latest study shows that consumers are increasingly choosing 15-inch notebooks, which carries with it more bulk and weight than smaller 13- or 14-inch rivals and at a cost to battery life, with the average 15-inch system getting about 225 minutes of runtime compared to 338 for ultraportable 13-inch systems. The impact of this is that manufacturers may exit the ultraportable market in the U.S. MSI will no longer offer their 13-inch X360 notebook and Lenovo will no longer make their 13-inch ThinkPad X300 series offering.

So who's to blame for this trend? Consumers, manufacturers, and panel makers are to blame according to LaptopMag. Panel makers exert a lot of control over purchase decisions as they price their 15-inch panels more aggressively. As such, we see deeper discounts on 15-inch systems from manufacturers, which are driving consumer purchases in that class. Also, users who switch from a desktop to a laptop environment may not understand portability and may opt for the larger displays to replicate a desktop system. Another force behind the 15-inch momentum is that consumers see 11-inch and 13-inch system with ultra low-voltage systems whereas 14-inch and 15-inch systems come equipped with more powerful CPUs and GPUs.

The folks over at Logitech must be enjoying bubbly champagne at the moment, as the company has announced that it has happily shipped its 100 millionth wireless mouse, which is definitely a noteworthy achievement. Logitech started manufacturing RF wireless mice back in 1991 and was the first to use RF cordless technology, which is a significant improvement on the IR transmission method used in earlier mice that required line-of-sight between the mouse and the receiver. Did you buy any Logitech wireless mice to contribute to this statistic?

Nettops are catching on as a decent alternative to a full powered desktop, especially when your needs for a computer requires basic computing capability. In this case, an Atom processor is enough, although Acer does not want to shortchange you with a dual-core Intel Atom D525 1.8GHz processor, throwing in 4GB RAM, NVIDIA ION 2 graphics with DirectX 10 and 3D support as well, a 500GB hard drive, Wi-Fi N connectivity, HDMI support and Gigabit Ethernet in case you're so in love with cables. Expect the Acer Aspire Revo 3700 to retail for around $580 when it rolls out before the year is over. Gotta love the small size that would make it at home in just about any living room.
