LG – W2353V Review
The latest series of monitors from LG is the W53 range, and this not-so-little beast is the 23-inch model. It looks much as we’ve come to expect from LG: a slick black panel, with a trendy see-through strip running along the bottom and touch sensitive menu controls just above it. The touch sensitive buttons even detect the approach of your finger, lighting up with red dots so you can clearly see where to press in dimly lit conditions.
Pretty funky stuff, and indeed the only let-down on the design front is the monitor stand, which is rather cheap and plasticky. It does the job, though, and allows a reasonable amount of tilt (around 5 degrees forward and about 15 degrees backwards). But enough of the physical aspects of the W2353V, let’s move swiftly on to the all important picture.

Epson Announces Volume Production Of World's Smallest XGA HTPS-TFT Liquid Crystal Panel For 3LCD Data Projectors
Epson has started volume production of its latest line of liquid crystal panels (”3LCD chips”) for 3LCD data projectors. Measuring just 0.55 of an inch (1.4 cm) on the diagonal, the new Epson 3LCD chips are believed to be the world’s smallest high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT panels offering XGA (1024×768) resolution. The new Epson 3LCD chips enable projectors to deliver 2000 to 2600 lumens of brightness.
Epson made this possible by using a liquid crystal material with high light-resistance and by further increasing the luminance of panels with an organic alignment layer. Smaller, brighter panels make it possible to offer projectors with better cost/performance.
