While Evesham’s 47-inch LCD TV may have a long list of niceties that would surely bring a smile to any HD addict’s face, the rather hefty pricetag might just scare a few folks away. Apparently making sure that its got the low and mid-range customers covered as well, Evesham is busting out a bevy of new displays at much lower price points. The Alqemi lineups boasts 32-, 37-, and 42-inch panels, with all five sporting WXGA resolutions, 8-millisecond response time, 500 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio (save for the bottom-end’s curiously high 1200:1 spec), and integrated stereo speakers. Evesham further segregates the models by offering a low-end 32-inch version (peep a pic after the jump) with the bare necessities (HDMI, component / S-Video / composite, VGA, and an analog tuner) for £499 ($970), while offering mid-range units with DVB-T / analog hybrid tuners (with Digital Tick support), and a 42-inch flagship (Alqemi SX; pictured after the break) that boasts PIP and Virtual Dolby surround sound. Evesham’s budget lineup tops at £1,399 ($2,718), with the mid-range units ranging from £599 ($1,164) to £899 ($1,747), and can be picked up now on the other side of the pond.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Klegg seems to be kicking it up a notch from the wee LCDs it’s accustomed to producing, as the 40-inch KLM-4010 is more suited for your living room than your front pocket. While it’s certainly not the first LCD TV to stuff MCE functionality into its confines, this brushed aluminum beast packs quite a laundry list of impressive specs. It boasts a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 500cd/m2 of brightness, 1,366 x 768 resolution, HDMI, a pair of DVI ports, component, S-Video, composite, digital audio output, and a built-in Hauppauage PVR-150 MCE tuner. Additionally, it rocks an Intel Pentium 4 3GHz 630 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce 6200 graphics card, dual-layer, slot-loading DVD burner, FireWire / USB 2.0 connectors, flash card reader, and dual seven-watt integrated speakers. This PC / TV hybrid touts the ability to download video directly from the internet and store it without the need for a separate HTPC, but unfortunately there’s no (presumably high) pricetag or release details to ponder over.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!

Filed under: Displays

The competition is really heating up in the 30-inch display space. Dell keeps slashing its own 3007WFP prices to ridiculous extremes (we just spotted it for $1,274 on Dell’s own site), Apple finally got its 30-incher under two grand in August, and now HP is busting out its own aggressively priced option for full pixel assault. We’ve already spent plenty of time geeking out over the LP3065′s specs, so the real news here is that HP is offering the display for $1,699, and it’s already been spotted on PC Mall for $1,629, so there seems to be some flex to that pricetag. HP is estimating a ship date of November 11th, and while there might not be much to differentiate HP’s offering from the pack — though a trio of dual-link DVI-D ports does sound intriguing — it’s good to see someone else in the US break the $2,000 barrier.

Taking a step back from its MultiSync LCD20WGX (and right into Dell’s forthcoming lair), NEC is busting out a new 19-inch widescreen display. The MultiSync 1940WCXM boasts a 1,440 x 900 resolution, 700:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, VGA / DVI inputs, lightning quick 5-millisecond response time, and a pair of 1-watt integrated speakers along the bottom of the bezel. The monitor also sports a headphone jack, “NoTouch auto adjust” color correction, and a built-in power supply. If you’re looking for a well spec’d LCD with a mighty respectable $269.99 pricetag, you can pick this bad boy up right now.

BOLD MOVES: THE FUTURE OF FORD A new documentary series. Be part of the transformation as it happens in real-time

The leapfrog game played by manufacturers wanting to hold that oh-so-coveted “world’s largest” claim has spread from megapixels to HDTVs, and now onto resolution. This time around, however, NEC is simply outdoing itself, as its latest 21.3-inch a-Si (amorphous silicon) LCD rocks an astounding 2,800 x 2,100 resolution. The previous “record” holder was NEC’s NL256204AM15-01/01A, whose sesquipedalian model number was only trumped by its prodigious 2,560 x 2,048 pixel count. The panel also sports the company’s own “super-fine TFT (SA-SFT)” technology, which enables a brightness of 1000 cd/m2 and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. If you’re mulling over picking one of these up to really show off that kilowatt-burning quad SLI setup, you should probably know that this uber-fine monitor comes in monochrome only, as its sole purpose (for now) is to examine detailed medical imagery such as digitized X-rays. It’s probably for the best, though, as we don’t envision these black and white bad boys coming in cheap at any rate.

We don’t cover a lot of iiyama panels ’round here but they do make some decent panels at an attractive price. Their new 22-incher, the ProLite E2200WS-W1, is certainly no exception with a 1680×1050 (WSXGA+) resolution, 5-millisecond response time, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 300cd/m2 brightness, D-Sub and DVI inputs, and 170°/160° horizontal/vertical visibility. In fact, this is shaping up to be a near identical panel as the BenQ FP222W announced earlier. Just be careful HD fans ’cause there’s no mention of HDCP support on that DVI jack. On sale now in Japan for ¥54,800 and then a few days later in Europe for £268/€398/$499. Come on iiyama, how ’bout some Stateside love too?

For those who prefer to do their monitor shopping overseas — or, you know, live there — Daysis has got another option to make your decision a bit harder. The 23-inch DAY232TP packs decent, if not spectacular specs, with a 600:1 contrast ratio, 12 ms response time, 300cd/m2 brightness and, of course, that 1920 x 1200 resolution all the cool kids demand these days (not unlike that Quixun also competing for your attention today). What’s more, it’ll also double as a TV, with a built-in tuner and bundled remote, as well as picture-in-picture and picture-by-picture functions. Otherwise, you’ll get the standard DVI and VGA inputs, though you’ll have to settle for S-video or composite if you’re planning on hooking this up to something other than a computer. The superstitious among you may want to steer clear of this one though: at the current exchange rate it’ll run you an even $666.

Samsung has taken the wraps off its latest SyncMaster LCD display, the 19-inch CX930B, boasting mostly about the monitor's 97% color reproduction, although how that's measured exactly is unclear. As impressive as that may or may not be, the CX930B's other specs are pretty sweet any way you slice them, with a fast 2 ms response time and deep 2,000:1 contrast ratio. The display also includes a "print view" feature, which works in conjunction with your printer, supposedly giving you an accurate preview of what a printed page will look like. It should be available later this year, in Korea at least, for about $430 US. Now, just give us a 24-inch widescreen version and we're sold.

It's no secret that China is rockin' some serious server power dedicated to filtering its SMS airwaves of unthinkable topics like Taiwan, democracy, and pornography, but other countries are getting in on the action, too. Belarus and Iran have both been called out in recent months for listening to its citizens' texts, and in Belarus' case, sending them as well. Although the technology for real-time filtering by keyword is largely homegrown (or so we hope), predictive text manufacturers like Tegic (disclaimer: Tegic is owned by Engadget's parent company's parent company, AOL) are receiving pressure from handset manufacturers to double- and triple-check their dictionaries for words that could be considered distasteful in countries with more oppressive governments than our own. Personally, discovering a word missing from T9 has never prevented us from typing it manually, but nonetheless -- between this and M-Track, we're about ready to head down into the Engadget bunker with a year's supply of Spam and just ride this whole thing out.

Until the entirety of the corporate world finally comes around to modern utilities like Outlook reminders and Google Calendar, those little yellow Post-Its will continue to dominate desktops across the land. Apparently Sony Europe has chosen to facilitate this environmentally irresponsible practice, by adding a special panel for the increasingly-obsolete sticky notes below the screens on their new E series LCD monitors. The panel also boasts a "handy groove which is ideal for holding pens" so you'll never miss a message in case, you know, you forget you're sitting right in front of a computer. Both the 17-inch and 19-inch models max out at 1280 x 1024 resolution and sport an average response time of 8 milliseconds, so we'll be interested to see how many extra Euros a run-of-the-mill monitor costs when it has a piece of plastic slapped on the front that may or may not disable screen angle and height adjustability.
