3D television sets

The first 3D television sets have gone on sale on the UK high street.
The new technology - likened to the arrival of colour screens 40 years ago and the recent high definition - will allow consumers to enjoy the full 3D experience in their own homes.
The retailer is selling 40-inch Samsung models from certain branches for £1,799.

Nvidia has turned up the heat with its latest drivers according to World of Warcraft (WoW) developer, Blizzard Entertainment.

The developer has suggested that the Green Goblin's latest drivers, version 196.75, seem to cause cards to overheat due to faulty regulation of the fan found in the majority of cooling designs. This leads to cards either throttling down or in some cases biting the dust altogether.

Radeon HD 4770 GPU
Permalink  
 

The new AMD Radeon HD 4770 GPU, previously known as the RV740 product, is AMD's updated offering for the $99-109 product segment.  This GPU is significant not only because of its pricing and position, but because it is the first GPU to be manufactured on the 40nm process from either GPU vendor. That allows AMD to make the part cheap and power efficient.
The Radeon HD 4770 is a dual-slot cooled card that runs at 750 MHz and includes GDDR5 memory support.  Of course, it helps to know WHAT exactly is running at 750 MHz, doesn't it?  The HD 4770 will sport 640 stream processors compared to the 800 stream processors on the HD 4800 series of cards; that is a 20% cut in shader power but the card still can pump out 960 GFLOPs of raw compute power.
AMD including GDDR5 memory on such a low cost product is also an interesting move - obviously GDDR3 would save them even more money but they feel that the extra memory bandwidth is required to keep the 640 shader cores fed efficiently.

Monitors

LG has unveiled that its W53 monitor range, with an auto-contrast feature that promises to reduce eye-strain, will arrive in the UK in May.
The feature uses the ambient light to gauge how bright the screen should be, although that, combined with a 'timer that reminds users to take a break from their work at predetermined intervals' might well annoy as many users as help them.

"LG has conducted extensive research around monitor usage in Europe and found one of the main complaints people had was eyestrain, caused by the screen being either too bright or too dark" - Soyeon Shin, marketing manager, LG Electronics Business Solutions Company.

Three-dimensional TV is coming to a living room near you. But will the technology spur a consumer spending spree like digital and high-definition TV did before it? Or will 3D end up being the next big flop?
One thing is clear, TV manufacturers need something new to get people buying TVs. Over the last couple of years, TV manufacturers have experienced a sales boom as consumers upgrade to digital TVs in anticipation of the government's mandated switch to digital TV broadcasts in February 2009. Eager shoppers have also been upgrading to high-definition TVs as movie studios, cable and satellite operators, and TV broadcasters have begun offering more programming in HD.

First 3-D Processor Runs at 1.4 Ghz

The next major advance in computer processors will likely be the move from today's two-dimensional chips to three-dimensional circuits, and the first three-dimensional synchronisation circuitry is now running at 1.4 gigahertz at the University of Rochester.
