Sony, Samsung, LG, and Toshiba all announced 3D-compatible HDTVs at CES-2010, but Panasonic has made the most noise about the technology. It has finally announced a shipping date for its first 3D plasma TV. The first 3D-capable flat-panel HDTVs will be available for sale in the U.S this spring.
Sony showed new 3D AMOLED (three-dimensional active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) prototypes at the CES-2010. The display does have 24.5 inch and is 3D ready, and a really amazing picture quality and contrast. Sony says this is only a prototype there are no release date price or anything... read more

LCD Screen Optimal Resolution
The best way to find the perfect screen resolution that is optimal for you and your LCD screen is to try different settings. However, not all settings may be good. There are a few technical limitations that users should be aware of.
A few years ago, 1024x768 was the most common display resolution. Now HD (high definition) resolution of 2560x1600 is used in 30" or bigger LCD monitors. Special medical monitors have been designed for 3280x2048 resolution. The term "display resolution" is used to describe simply the physical number of columns and rows of pixels creating the display, for example, 1280x1024, or in other words, the size of display. However, the meaning of the word "resolution" here is misleading. Such using "display resolution" means pixel dimensions which does not tell about a real resolution of the display. Technically, display resolution is measured in pixels per inch.
In digital imaging, a pixel (pic's-el, or picture element) is a single smallest point or unit of picture which can be controlled. Pixels are normally arranged in a 2-dimensional grid, and are often represented using dots or squares. Dots per inch (DPI) is a measure of spatial printing or video dot density, in particular the number of individual dots that can be placed in a line within the span of one inch (2.54 cm). As it was mentioned above, DPI is often confused with image size, leading to expressions such as 1024x768 resolution.
What screen resolution is optimal? A higher screen resolution reduces the size of items on your screen and increases the relative space on your desktop. But on the other hand, you may feel uncomfortable if fonts are too small to read a text. Another parameter is aspect ratio (the relative numbers of horizontal and vertical pixels). Traditional displays built with 4:3 aspect ratio. For example, a native resolution of 1280x1024 indicates an aspect ratio of 5:4, which is the most used format on current 17" and 19" LCD monitors. New wide-screen monitors may use almost 2:1 ratio. Wide-screen monitors use a special aspect ratio control to resolve the problem of "unnatural" displaying video with different formats. Normally, a native resolution should allow displaying without any distortion. The best way to find the perfect resolution that is optimal for you and your monitor is to try different settings.
To change your screen resolution in Windows OS, open Display in Control Panel. On the Settings tab, under Screen resolution, drag the slider, and then click Apply. When prompted to apply the settings, click OK. Your screen will turn black for a moment. Once your screen resolution changes, you have 15 seconds to confirm the change. Click Yes to confirm the change; click No or do nothing to revert to your previous setting. Your monitor and graphics card (video adapter) determine how much you can change your screen resolution; normally, it is a limited list of standard settings.
In general, a computer display resolution can be set higher or lower than the physical screen resolution. However, if old CRT monitors provided a variability in resolution, LCD displays are not so easy adjustable because they have a fixed physical resolution. You may be unable to increase the resolution of LCD display above a certain level (normally better than native resolution). The "native" resolution is the same as a screen maximum resolution if a correct video driver installed. Be aware that using a non-native low resolution on LCD may result in a poorer image (may appear blurred), due to dropping of pixels to make the image fit (if using DVI) or insufficient sampling of the analog signal (if using VGA).

Robot Sex - Robots Are Making Other Robots
LCD screens use thin-flat-transistors (TFT) technology to control the images being shown on the panel. TFT panels are difficult to manufacture because LCD manufacturing technology is based on wiring patterns that generated using masks. That is why automation and robotic are very handy there. It is known that most LCD screens are made by robots. But what about robots that make themselves? There is a biggest robot sex operation in the world 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

If Your LCD Screen Broken, Should You Buy a New Laptop?
It is easier to buy a new laptop. However, replacing broken LCD screens, you can reduce the demand for new laptops those production and disposal pollute the Earth. If you care about our green planet, try to find some place to repair or to ask the laptop manufacturer to fix or to replace the screen by yourself.
The millions of laptops are broken worldwide every year; and statistically, the most breakable part is an LCD screen. What to do if your laptop screen is broken? Some people may say that it is better to buy a new laptop. However, by replacing broken LCD screens, PC users can reduce the demand for new laptops those production pollutes the Earth. But even more dramatic problem is their disposal. A very tiny battery can make 1 cubic meter of soil seriously contaminated and cause a water pollution. A much bigger laptop battery creates much more troubles, not to mention about other parts of laptop (you can find more info at US Environmental Protection Agency website).
Of course, it is easier to look for a new laptop. But if you care about our green planet, try to find some place to repair or to ask the laptop manufacturer to fix. If you are even "more green", replace the screen by yourself. It could be the most cost-effective solution for your budget. Do not worry if you are not a tech person - in less than an hour and with a couple of tools, you will be able to replace the screen on your own.
First, you need to locate the screw covers. These small rubber covers are normally found on the front of the display's bezel (surrounding frame), though on some notebooks you might find some of the covers along the side of the screen. Use the tip of a small flat-head screwdriver or knife to carefully pry back the corner of each rubber cover around the screen until you can see if a screw lies underneath. If you locate a screw, remove the cover and place it in a safe location. In most cases, a screen has from 4 to 6 screws on the bezel. After you have located them all, remove and store them with the covers.
When screws are removed, start to unsnap the bezel by inserting your fingers between the bezel and the screen. To unsnap the bezel, start at the bottom with most laptops. Much force is not necessary but if you encounter difficulty, move a little bit further and try a different spot. You may need to slide laptop lid latch to completely remove the bezel. If you are unable to move the screen you may have to remove screws holding screen brackets to the laptop screen lid. Watch out for wires and cables stuck underneath the screen - such as of webcam or wireless antenna - and be sure not to damage them.
Your first step would be to define an exact model number for replacement. To determine which screen models is compatible with any given laptop old screen, you may use some on-line illustrated guide. It shows also how to disassemble the laptop screen. The next step is to find the companies that sell LCD screens on the Internet - normally it is exact the same screen but you will get it fast and for less. The quality of the screens are the same - the reason why some companies can afford to sell them for less is their business model - they buy wholesale with discount.
