LG unveiled Full LED 3D TV, the LX9500

We are already familiar with Full HD and 3D TVs by now but how about Full LED 3D TV?

‘The Panel’ rechargeable LED monitor sentences you to a more productive life

“It would let me set up shop at that posh cafe down the street.” That’s how you justified your laptop purchase — but as you sat, gently sipping your macchiato, you realized it would never work without your decidedly non-portable 24-inch Cinema Display’s extra real estate. We’ve been there many a time, and apparently so has a startup named MEDL Technology, which has just finished prototyping the answer to our telecommuting (and portable gaming) woes. Going above and beyond the average, tiny secondary display, “The Panel” is an honest-to-goodness 13.3-inch LED-backlit monitor that’s less than an inch thick, but packs incredible connectivity (DVI, VGA, Component, S-Video, mini-HDMI and USB) in addition to a sweet folding stand and up to five hours of rechargeable battery life. MEDL told us that should they secure funding, the firm’s looking to launch The Panel in Q4 2010, and is hoping to first sway business users with a sub-$350 price point. To work surrounded by coffee — without being employed by Starbucks — that’s a small price to pay.

Toshiba brings new LCDs this month with WiFi and LED, but no Cell

They may not be quite as thrilling as the Cell TV ZX900 series Toshiba was focused on during its CES press conference, but if you can put off all that LED-backlit, Wireless HD 3D conversion madness there’s a slew of other new HDTVs due this month. The 120Hz UX600 takes top billing with its edge-lit LEDs and sub 2-inch depth, plus the added bonus of an included WiFi adapter for access to all the NET TV features with VUDU and DLNA support, allowing access to Twitter, Pandora and more. The 40-, 46- and 55-inch editions retail at $1,399, $1,699 and $2,499, respectively. The 120Hz G300 series is available in the same sizes but without the LEDs, WiFi, Net TV and slim “Air Lagoon” styling the price maxes out at $1,599 for the largest screen. Moving down the line the E200 models focus on energy efficiency while the C100 and CV100 bring small 720p screens with or without built-in DVD player. A quick check of Amazon and other retailers shows the smaller ones already leaking into availability with their larger brethren due, oh, any day now. Check for full MSRP lists and press releases after the break,, plus a peek at the 55300U, if you must.
