Ready for yet another 22-inch LCD? How ’bout if it was pumping 4 times as many pixels as just about every other monitor in its class? We’re talking 3,840 x 2,400 pixels for a WQUXGA display. Unfortunately, the specs fall off quickly (but not too quickly) from there: 235cd/m2 brightness, 300:1 contrast, and a weak-sauce 120-degree top/bottom and 100-degree left/right viewing angle. Of course you’ll need a dedicated (dual-link, presumably) PCI graphics card to drive that resolution over the monitor’s single DVI input. Shipping in Japan before summer for an anticipated Â¥2,079,000. Right, a staggering $17,500 or about 50 of Dell’s 22-inchers.

P.S. Sorry, no picture, that’s just a generic 22-incher to the right.

Update: Toshiba will sell you a PCI graphics card for an additional ¥312,000 ($2,783). How nice.

Dell’s latest 24-incher, the E248WFP, got a little overshadowed when it was released in Japan next to the webcam-sporting SP2208WFP, but now that it’s coming Stateside we’re ready to love it just as much. The lowest-priced Dell 24-inch display, the E248WFP features a 1920 x 1200 resolution, 1000:1 contrast ratio and a 5ms refresh rate for just $469. You’re not getting a lot of frills for that number, of course, with inputs limited to just DVI-D with HDCP and VGA, no speakers, and and no USB ports, but as a pure screen it’s a pretty slammin’ deal.

We’ve got all ideas that folks fully expecting Samsung’s SyncMaster 245T to ship way back in March have moved on and purchased another monitor by now, but for the loyal few that are still clinging to a sliver of hope that this thing isn’t vaporware, we’ve got outstanding news. Some ten months (to the day, actually) after its unveiling, this 24-incher is finally ready to rock, and it’ll be coming to those still interested with a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution PVA panel, 1,500:1 contrast ratio, six-millisecond response time, Motion Picture Acceleration (MPA) backlight scanning technology, 178-degree viewing angles and a four-port USB 2.0 hub for good measure. As for the port selection, you’ll find HDMI, S-Video, component, DVI and VGA connectors, and with any luck, you can score one now for $799.99.

If you have a seemingly insatiable appetite for screen real estate, Eizo’s out to satisfy. The firm has unleashed a new duo of FlexScan monitors, which both sport a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution VA panel and the ability to be set up vertically or horizontally. As for the 24.1-inch SX2461W (pictured after the jump), it promises to reproduce 96-percent of the AdobeRGB color space and features a 850:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, six-millisecond response time, HDCP-compliant DVI connector and a pair of USB ports. The 27-incher differs by handling 95-percent of the AdobeRGB color space, sporting 320 cd/m2 brightness and giving users a few more inches (but not pixels, mind you) to work with. Price wise, the little(r) fellow will run you a stiff Â¥137,800 ($1,202) when it lands next month, while the 27-incher will demand an additional Â¥40,200 ($350).

Oh, how far we’ve come. Just 2.5-years after Tritton unveiled an adapter that enabled users to run a VGA-equipped display at 800 x 600 via USB, Sewell is offering up a USB-to-DVI converter that actually supports UXGA (that’s 1,600 x 1,200 for those counting). In a package no larger than a deck of cards, this thing houses some 256MB of RAM, supports up to six simultaneous displays (requires six adapters, obviously) and even plays nice with Windows Vista (sorry, Leopard fanatics). There’s also a DVI-to-VGA adapter thrown in just so your bases are covered, and so long as you’re running a rig made within the last few years and have a USB 2.0 port (or six) to spare, you’re in business. Well, after you cough up $149.95 to claim one for yourself, that is.

Eizo sure looks to have outdone itself with its latest FlexScan monitor, which considerably ups the size and specs (and price) over the company’s previous models. Leading the list of attention-grabbing specifications is the monitor’s 2560 x 1600 (or WQXGA) resolution which, when combined with the dual DVI inputs, can also be split down the middle to let you use two computers at 1200 x 1600 apiece. Otherwise, Eizo says you’ll get 100% coverage of the NTSC color gamut, along with a 900:1 contrast ratio, a brightness rating of 260cd/m2, and a pair of USB 2.0 ports, among other more common features. Look for it to set you back around $2,555 when it lands this December.

Just when you thought boring-looking Toshiba projectors with document cameras bolted on were totally played, along comes the TLP-XC2000U to prove you completely right. Through no fault of its own, of course. The 8.8 pound LCD projector sports a native XGA resolution, 2,000 ANSI lumens and a 400:1 contrast ratio, with a built-in 3 megapixel camera with a LED light to do the document capturing honors, are all well and good. Unfortunately, every other document camera projector built by Toshiba has pretty much the exact same specs, and while the $1100 pricetag here is commendable, we’re afraid modern day show-and-tell has pretty much reached a plateau.
