14 DAY TRIAL // With just how many companies convened at IFA, 2011, it would have been strange if Philips had missed the occasions, but this was not the case, the company having revealed a pair of displays.
This year's edition of the IFA trade show, in Berlin, Germany, is bound to have already stirred some wide ripples.
A couple of our colleagues are actually on site, taking photos and shooting videos of various items on display there.
Users can go here if they wish to get a taste of the variety, and abundance, of technological implementations.
It turns out that Philips made a point of not letting the occasion slip past without some new product launch on its part.
As such, the company designed a 3D panel, as well as a model which, to make things even more intriguing, boasts the exclusive LightFrame technology.
The 3D panel is aimed at gamers and has a diagonal of 27 inches, an aspect ratio of 16:9 and Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels). It is offered in a bundle with active shutter glasses.
The other panel, and which might even be considered more interesting, has a proprietary technology which, Philips claims, will lessen users fatigue.
Specifically, the LCD has the LightFrame technology, essentially a frame which casts a blue light and calms whoever is in front of the panel.
Three steps of intensity can be chosen, in addition to having it turned off completely, should one so desire.
Finally, the LightFrame is completely black when not active, unlike those of previous models, which were transparent.
Philips should have the 3D gaming monitor and the Moda Series LightFrame panel up for sale before the end of the ongoing year (prices are unknown). Those who want massive TVs with top-grade specs can check out things like LG's 72-inch monster instead.
Note: Fellow editors Cosmin Vasile and Sorin Nita are on the floor at the 2011 IFA Show and are keeping us posted with pictures and live reports on the latest product previews and launches.
