HP, being a technology oriented company, comes up with some nifty gear on occasion but their latest innovation, dubbed the “Wall of Touch” sports some mighty impressive technology that harnesses 9 43″ LCD displays with some optical touch screen functionality all wrapped up in an impressive package.
You’re unlikely to see it in your house any time soon but hey at least someone is working on it right?

Multi-monitor solutions over the years have ranged from astounding driver nightmares to expensive third party solutions and, in the end, never really came into form when supporting gaming across multiple displays.
What you are seeing below is a single air cooled AMD next-gen video card in a consumer ATX case powering six LCD displays. No tricks, no switches. Six 30" LCD panels with DisplayPort, and one "Evergreen" video card. This card is a future product that will likely be for sale around the holidays, but on launch day every card will support no less than 3 displays.
It is an exciting product, hopefully we’ll see a return to super sampling anti-aliasing in older titles with all of that extra horsepower under the hood.
It’s a funny thing when a company creates a new platform, they get to implement all sorts of restrictions despite the obvious forward march of technology.
As is the case with Intel’s Atom product line which was initially limited to a 1024×576 resolution which, when netbooks were introduced, was just fine with manufacturers given that 10.1" LCDs weren’t generally available with higher resolutions.
Apparently the company is backtracking a bit and is allowing higher resolution displays. A nice change, here’s hoping their GMA 950 successor is better able to push the even higher resolution displays netbooks will likely adopt.
It lacks an LED backlight, and its share of pixels, but Dell is looking to bring big, energy efficient displays to the masses. Retailing at a cool $350, the G2410 uses PowerNap (low-wattage standby) and Dynamic Dimming (just what it sounds like) to reduce energy consumption. It is also comprised of 25 percent post-consumer recycled plastics and “halogen-free laminates in circuit boards.” EPEAT Gold rated, too.
Now the bad news: It’s a 1900 x 1080, 5ms display. Full HD, sure, but gamers and digital content creators will miss the extra resolution. Connection options boil down to DVI-D and VGA (no HDMI) and there’s a lack of extra goodies like a built-in webcam, USB hub and such.
Nonetheless, its price and a subdued, dignified design is sure to win fans that want a bigger monitor. Catch the rest of the specs here.
It’s the time of year where trying to figure out what to get your technology obsessed friends and family is likely to cause you an ample amount of stress. Compound that with very few shopping days left and you’ve got a recipe for a breakdown. Relax a bit and let the experts help you figure out what to purchase:
The oddball monitor is a funny thing, coming in with either a native resolution that’s out of the norm or with a screen size that’s not normally seen. In comes Dell with the rather strange 23″ S2309W LCD monitor which, thankfully, comes with a rather reasonable 1920×1200 resolution. Here are a few other of its high points as well:
Full HD 1920 x 1080 Resolution
- Enjoy cinema-quality movies at the highest resolution the filmmakers
intended. Full HD also makes games, videos and digital photos shine.
Fast 5 Millisecond Response Time (Typical) – See crisp, clear images and minimize ghosting during fast-action video. Ideal for serious gamers and video editors alike.
1000:1 Contrast Ratio (Typical) – Sharpens HD performance with deep blacks, enhanced color saturation and fine detail.
DVI-D with HDCP – Supports playback of protected high-definition content from Blu-ray Disc™ drives on PCs.
Dell-Designed Enhancements – The sleek black bezel complements most environments and home décor.
