Viewsonic has announced a new technology that will allow a one millisecond response time in its LCD monitors. The technology will be in the company’s new line of monitors debuting later in the year. They’ll also include the Viewsonic OverDrive chip, reported to “speed up the PC in which it is used,” which makes absolutely no sense to us. There’s currently no way to offload gaming-quality graphics processing to an external device.

NEC’s 20.1-inch 1680 x 1050 widescreen monitor we saw out in Europe the other day, the 20WMGX2, well, she’s a States-bound according to NEC. Expect this 6ms response time, 400cd/m² beauty to have a 1600:1 contrast ratio though, which even sweetens the deal, along with DVI, VGA, coax, S-video, component, and composite inputs and a speaker attachment. It’ll also be making the trek with the 19-inch SXGA 90GX2, and the 17-inch SXGA 70GX2 in tow, both of which have a 4ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, and a 400cd/m² brightness level. No word on price or release yet, but we have a feeling it shan’t be long.

NEC makes some great displays, but they’ve been eclipsed in recent years by other players. Will the MultiSync LCD20WGX change that? The display certainly has good specs: 20-inch widescreen, 6 ms response time, 700:1 contrast ratio, 178-degree viewing angle, and a built-in USB hub. It’s due out in Europe this week at a price of €560 ($680). No word on a US release, which of course would help if NEC wants to reclaim its former glory.

Samsung’s teeny, tiny projector is finally on sale for under a grand. With a Carl Zeiss lens and weighing just under 1.5 lb, this mobile projector makes a great travel companion. Features include a connecting cable and D-sub (PC), AV input for easy connections, but as you might expect with something this small and low-priced, its native resolution is just 800×600 pixels. Runs for $889.

This is a handy little device. It lets you grab the image from your cellphone or PDA and link it to a PC. From there, it’s PowerPoint heaven, I guess. Or you could just show everyone the blurry rock concert photos you’ve been collecting all these months. In any case, the Project-a-Phone is essentially a stand and a miniature camera. Displays up to 800×600 screen resolution, and 30 frames per second. Weighs 1.2 lbs., costs $199.

Every fanboy has a diagram stashed somewhere detailing some level of wire-free desktop nirvana, but if only he could eliminate that pesky VGA cable (and those annoying power cables, still working on that one) then he would be truly happy. Well the Wireless VGA Extender is here to help, and not only does it take your VGA signal wireless, up to a 1024×768 resolution, but it can transmit your PS/2 plugs for a keyboard and mouse, and an audio jack across the room with it. The range is 100 feet, which should be plenty for most fanboy operations, however the ordering form says that the device isn’t for residential use, so you’ll have to work it out with the FCC if this is ever going to end up in your living room.
