Here’s something that has some real innovation involved – a monitor that runs off USB power that lets you hook up to any Windows laptop as a second screen.

Toshiba’s new 14-incher, simply named USB Mobile Monitor, lets you fire up an additional screen, say, to show off your presentations to clients or to simply use as a second screen at home to complement your laptop’s.

I’d thought of posting this small roundup of the best of IFA, but have been stuck with work and fighting a flu. Well, better late then never, right?

Touchscreen PCs at PC Show 2009

If you haven’t checked out Alfred’s post on the first day, do so!

I was a man on a mission at this PC Show as I was looking to replace my old cranky desktop, which had parts of it dying and failing on me over a period of six months. An old hard disk was the first to go (trashed), followed by a stuttering video card (repaired) and now the DVD drive has totally gone kaput. Can’t blame the old dear; the machine is a cobbled monstrosity of some very old parts mixed in with new ones that has lived quite a rich and long enough life.

So at the show I was looking mostly at desktops and netbooks (tempted to get one even though my old laptop is still perfectly fine — a typical geek itch), when I came across very cool touchscreen PCs at both the HP and Dell booths. I’ve been to the last three IT fairs, and this is a new product I haven’t seen at a fair before.

Tempting 24-inch 16:9 monitor deal from Dell

Just spotted a pretty nice deal over at the Dell website, while I was researching for an article.

Its S2409W 24-inch monitor is going for a nice S$489, making it an attractive deal compared to most other makes out in the market (typically going for S$500 or more).

Note though that, unlike most 24-inchers out there which offer 1920 x 1200, with an aspect ratio of 16:10, this Dell screen sports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (“Full HD” or 1080p), with an aspect ratio of 16:9.

What’s the diff? It’s actually less pixels for computers users, so it appears to be a worse deal. But for guys playing Blu-ray stuff and watching HDTV broadcasts, 16:9 is the more commonly supported format for their content.
