Today at Nvision, Viewsonic showcased a 22-inch LCD prototype with a 3ms gray-to-gray response time and 120Hz technology. The unnamed display (currently dubbed the VX2265wm, but it could change) also features two 2W stereo speakers and Dual Link DVI digi input. With a resolution of 1680×1050, 300 nits brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio it’s not a bad setup to have. Of course, the display is primed for 3D gaming when coupled with NVIDIA’s GeForce ...

The Gadget: Turtle Beach's Earforce X4. It's a wireless surround sound headset that can also plug into an Xbox 360 controller for full Live chatting. The Price: $200 The verdict: If you've got an extra $200 and play Xbox 360 a lot, buy 'em. It should be noted that these "surround sound" headphones are really transposing a 5.1 channel signal into two stereo speakers, but the results are excellent all the same. In Call of ...

Take a glance at Peek, which is churning out a dedicated handheld that handles e-mail, a few chain forwards, and more e-mails when you're done with that. At first glance, one may consider such a one-trick-pony quite ridiculous, but it's hard to say what will end up catching on these days. ...

The BlackBerry Bold has been out in Chile and Germany and drops in Canada tomorrow, so as much as analysts talk out of their ass, Citigroup analyst Jim Suva might not just be blowing hot air when he says that the Bold is plagued by the same 3G connection issues as the iPhone 3G (though 2.0.2 might've made them worse still). Apparently it has a similar penchant for dropping you to EDGE even when there's ...

Also on the bottom row, right next to the volume controls, is the new PS button. (nice) Sony has also included for your VOiP talking pleasure, Skype. Word from the ...

When Muxtape was shut down at the weekend, it was met with utterly predictable “Death to the RIAA!” cries. Hopefully we’re above such childishness here, and can spend a minute or two looking at the cartel’s claims, and then we can evaluate the RIAA’s position. This is what the RIAA told Portfolio.com: For the past several months, we have communicated our legal concerns with the site and repeatedly tried to work with them to have ...

The UK government has decided to spend hundreds of millions of pounds (gajillions of dollars in US currency) on a huge central silo for all of the country's communications data. What'll that entail? Well, apparently "the one-stop-shop database will retain details of all calls, texts, emails, instant messenger conversations and websites accessed in the UK for up to two years." Oh my. This Orwellian nightmare center would obviously take a while to get put together, ...

Sometimes one damning statistic can put it all into perspective. Through a survey of 3,000 computers, it was found that 35% of those systems built to run Vista had been downgraded (by computer vendors or users) to run XP. Keep in mind, this metric wouldn't include systems like mini-laptops that are able to load XP because of their frail, wussy hardware. So, uhhh, who's pumped for Windows 7? [Register Hardware]
