Myvu Viewing Experince

The concept of a TV you can watch from behind the lenses of a pair of eyeglasses has been something seen only sci-fi movies. But in the last few years these devices have become common. For a long while it was relegated to niche application-helicopter pilots, military field work- head mounted displays have made a leap into the mainstream.

One such offering is the Myvu crystal. The devuice is so simple to use that it doesn't even have a manual-just acardboard sheet explaining which cable to use depending on whether you are using an iPod, Zune, Archos, PSP or some other video device.

Its images are in focus , sharp and easy to watch. The only set back is that at $300 it is not cheap.

OLED  Notebook By SAMSUNG Come 3Q 2010

Displays made from OLEDs, which stands for organic light-emitting diode, have far more brightness and contrast than typical backlit LCD displays. Color reproduction and refresh rates are better too, with active-matrix OLED displays (”AMOLEDs”) reproducing four times as many colours   as a typical LCD display and sporting faster refresh rates. They’re also more power efficient.

Consumers will see the first commercial OLED laptops a year from now, Samsung said during the weekend at the IFA show in Berlin, Germany.

CKyu Uhm, Head  of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Samsung Computing Division, reportedly said that the company would look to release towards end of 2010.
