CES 2008: Root's Picks

Here are the new techs that peaked my interest this year at the Consumer Electronic Show (2008):

This one is Alienware's curved display. Think of two 24inch wide screen displays side by side. I can see this being great for gaming as well as simulators. It's a DLP monitor that has .02ms response time. That's right, I said .02ms response time. Can you say dang?

Next up is, of course, is the BFT. That's a 150" (8ft by 11ft) of plasma display that holds a whopping 4k resolution. This would look great in my apartment if I had the wall space.

Now this next one is something that I've been dieing to see in stores. Wireless power! Unfortunately it's only at short range but just think, long range wireless power could be here before I die! I can see this for the office, your desk is like a powersupply and all of your mobile devices get powered up without having a jungle of power cables.

My last pick is a sick looking monitor/technology called OLED.... that will burn my wallet when it hits the stores. It's the width of three credit cards and has a one million to one contrast ratio. Right now they only have a 27" and 11" display so root will be waiting for the 42" version.

Untill next CES,

root of all evil : CES 2008
