1 LCD Display + 1 LCD Display = 1 LCD Display The 2-headed "Tenbuno" LCD monitor	By Alex Vochin, Technology Editor 19th of November 2006, 06:51 GMT Adjust text size:


No, there's no mistake in my computation, as you might think at first sight, and that's because Woojin Inc., a Korean manufacturer of LCD displays, has decided to rewrite arithmetics and has just come up with a very peculiar model, the "Tenbuno", that really looks like a freak of nature, since it has a 8.4-inch sub-screen fitted on top of the otherwise regular 19-inch LCD monitor. But what's the use of such a device? Well, the manufacturers boast it to be a very good solution for those people who usually work on twin monitors, but don't always use the second one to its maximum potential. So, why not fit a 19-incher with a smaller display, so that the user won't have to pay for 2 separate displays. The idea is quite an interesting one, and the result is also quite a fine product, as you can plainly see from the list of technical specs listed below: - dimensions: 426 mm x 280 mm x 580 mm; - weight: 7.9 kg; - display size: * big display: 19 inches; * small display: 8.4 inches; - type of LCD panel: LCD TFT; - contrast ratio: * big display: 700:1; * small display: 350: 1; - response time: * big display: 8 ms; * small display: 10 ms; - native resolution: * big display: 1280 x 1024 pixels; * small display: 800 x 600; - TV/video input: Composite RCA; - compatible: NTSC/PAL-SECAM; - VGI signal: * big display: DVI; * small display: 15 pin D-SUB. No word on the pricing yet (well, I haven't been able to find the price on the Korean website), but it shouldn't be too expensive, at least not as expensive as 2 monitors. I'm really quite curious about the future this concept has in front of it, because I tend to believe that it won't become anything more than an entry in the list of peculiar devices developed in the beginning of the XXIst century. But then again, I might be completely off. We are just a few, but there are many of you, Softpedia users, out there. That's why we thought it would be a good idea to create an email address for you to help us a little in finding gadgets we missed. Interesting links are bound to be posted with recognition going mainly to those who submit. The address is .
