LG.Philips announces 52 and 84-inch multi-touch displays, double-sided LCD, and more
Filed under: CES, Displays
LG.Philips ain’t screwing around this CES, bringing the pain on rival Sharp with five interesting new panels. Check it out:
- 52-inch multi-touch LCD - full 1080p, two touch detection
- 84-inch multi-touch LCD - 2 x 4 array of 42-inch panels, totaling full 1080p resolution, 500cd/m2 brightness
- 47-inch triple-view LCD - full 1080p, 250cd/m2 brightness, three separate images (much like Sharp’s triple view), photo after the break
- 47-inch double sided LCD - 70mm thickness, 500cd/m2 brightness, displays images on both sides
- 42-inch transflective LCD - the 1,500cd/m2 brightness is nice, but damn that’s large for a transflective display.
Kind of goes without saying, but these aren’t TV sets ready for sale or anything — these are panels produced for OEMs to build into their gear, more than likely industrial and commercial type getups. Still, hot.

USB flash drive payment system hits South Korea
Filed under: Misc. Gadgets
We’ve definitely seen some outlandish attempts at improving or outright replacing the humble credit card, but South Koreans will soon be able pay for purchases using the most easy-to-lose system we’ve seen yet — by inserting a special USB flash drive into a slot. The system, which is being rolled out by Shinhan Card and VIsa, also lets users pay for online purchases by sticking the drive into their computers’ USB ports, and Shinhan is also rolling out new terminals that will enable contactless payments using the device as well. Of course, the drive itself is locked down tighter than a drum, but we still aren’t convinced a bulky flash drive is a better option than phone-based or biometric payment systems.

SNES CD development controller on eBay for a mint
Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Ah, eBay. Home to some of the rarest, most incredible devices known (and previously unknown) to man. On the docket today is a stupendously rare, unreleased development controller for use with the SNES CD dev kit. Yep, a unreleased controller for an unreleased system — pretty much a collector’s dream. Unfortunately, the controller alone won’t do you very much good beyond hooking you up with unbelievable bragging rights, but unless you’ve got $2,999.99 (at least) to blow, the above picture is close as you’ll get to this treasure.
