Asus unveils 23”, 27” 120 Hz 3D monitors
By Darco | March 5, 2010
Asus has just announced plans for two new 120 Hz monitors that will be compatible with Nvidia’s 3D technology. The Taiwanese manufacture is the latest to join the party after Samsung kicked things off a year ago with its 2233rz, but it hasn’t arrived empty-handed.
Amongst the monitors on offer, there’s a Full HD 23” display, the VG236H, and, for the first time, a 120 Hz 27” monitor, the PG276H, which is also Full HD. Up until now, the largest 120 Hz display we’ve seen was the 24” Acer GD245HQ. More info @ Digital Versus.

The X-Factor of LED TVs Revealed
By Darco | February 17, 2010
When a new technology is introduced in the market, it’s only natural that one tends to follow the crowd. But while those with bulging pockets can afford to try out every latest gadget (and shove it into the deep recesses of the webby wardrobe in case it turns out to be tacky), most of us are left goggling with a pang day in and day out. When LED TVs were first introduced, the lucky few who could afford them made sure that the rest of us were left struggling hard to save for one too. But are LED TVs actually worth it? What do they actually have that warrants the extra cost, not to mention the hype?

The Advent of Plasma Televisions
By Darco | February 17, 2010
Is it an art… a painting…. a picture frame…..oh, yes, it is a Plasma TV. Such is the beauty of Plasma TV. Aesthetically, Plasma Televisions literally represent a moving painting, and, technically, electrons criss-cross the Plasma matter for creating stunning on-screen pictures. Plasma TVs have been around for several years now, and, thanks to advancements in technology, their prices have come down over the years. Today, a new Plasma TV is quite affordable for the average consumer around the world. Of Course, it is common knowledge that Plasma TVs produce the best of clarity, colour and contrast while their average lifespan runs into not less than 100,000 hours. These days, Plasma TVs have ultra slim, sleek, slender looks in all their richness and splendor. They also save space by being wall mountable and adding to the beauty of your home, be it the living room or lounge, the Plasma adds sheen, for sure.

Digital Versus tried Sony’s 3D TV
By Darco | February 12, 2010
The guys at DV visited a Sony Style store where the team were showing off a Sony Bravia 52LX900 – a LED backlight 3D TV! It’s a 3D compatible television, for one thing. Apart from that, it uses Edge LED backlighting and has the Motionflow 200 Hz Pro system. We still don’t know how much it’s going to cost because it won’t actually go on sale until the summer. The demo that we saw wasn’t a production model, axnd the software inside could well change before the LX900 reaches the shops.
The first thing we noticed is that the LX900 was connected to a PS3, which confirms that the console will receive a firmware update to make it compatible with 3D, and good progress has already been made. So Sony could use a PS3 to show us a series of 3D clips including documentaries, extracts from films, football matches and even some game that will be adapted for 3D.

By Darco | November 21, 2009
DigitalVersus.com was very busy this year testing lots of different products throughout the year. They put the best ones in one article, which intro you can read below, along with the link.
At the start of the week, we launched our Christmas Gift Guide for 2009, with our favourite products from the 500 or so that we’ve tested over the course of the year. We’re expanding it today by including a new section on games.
We don’t normally test video games, so we’ve no desire to tell hardcore gamers what they should be putting on their Christmas list. If, though, you’d like to give somebody a game but don’t even know where to start, then our advice will help you make the right choice.
