While we liked the shiny unibody MacBooks, their new miniDisplay Port requires the use of a dual link DVI adapter to drive the 30" CinemaDisplay. Not only is the adapter $100; it's a custom cord that can't exactly be spotted between the batteries and singing cards at the drug store. Now Apple has informed preorderers to expect their shipments no sooner than December 23rd—which just goes to show that in a fight between Steve Jobs and Santa Claus, Steve Jobs would win...or something like that.

Who says thin is in? Not Palit, who has just introduced a massive three-slot graphics card based on AMD's dual-GPU ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. Dubbed the Revolution 700 Deluxe, the new card owes its wide load to a giant heatsink consisting of a two-fan cooling solution outfitted with heatpipes and a plethora of connection options. The Revolution 700 Deluxe comes equipped with DisplayPort, HDMI, Dual-Link DVI, and D-Sub (VGA) connections, so while you might have to worry about how you're going to cram this card inside your case, you at least won't face any problems connecting it to nearly...

Filed under: Peripherals If you've got a slew of systems, a pocket full of cash, and a lot of work that needs to get done, then IOGEAR might have a little something that you're interested in. Enter the company's new GCS1784 4-Port Dual Link DVI KVMP switch, a fairly robust system that allows you to control all four of your gaming / science-calculating / video editing / email-sending machines simultaneously. The device features 7.1 audio, video resolutions up to a whopping 3840 x 2400, and the company's patent-pending "Display Emulation Technology," which apparently remembers your monitor's preferences so you don't...
Filed under: Desktops, Gaming It's not quite a $39 graphics card but, at "less than $150," AMD's new ATI Radeon HD 4830 is still quite the bargain compared to ATI's higher-end offerings, and you'll get a good deal more oomph for those extra bucks. That includes a 256-bit GDDR3 memory interface (the actual amount of memory will vary from card to card), an impressive 640 stream processing units, AMD's second generation Unified Video Decoder for improved HD video playback, DirectX 10.1 support, two dual-link DVI ports, and, of course, support for ATI's CrossFireX technology. What's more, while AMD isn't willing...
Any gamer worth his or her salt will definitely have had experienced the power of an NVIDIA card in their lifetime, and most of them will have nothing but praises for it. The company, after all, is the No. 1 video card manufacturer in the world and have remained at the top of their game for quite some time already. Their engineering team was recently given a challenge - to come up with a desktop GPU which is able to merge full system I/O and discrete-level performance in half the size of previous integrated graphics solutions. Needless to say, that...
The latest from NVIDIA isn’t designed with Crysis in mind, but rather graphic pros that rely heavily on Adobe Creative Suite 4 software. With an MSRP of $1,999, your Photoshop dabbling isn’t the market NVIDIA is after here with this optimized card. The Quadro CX card enables snappier responses and encoding in not only Photoshop, but also Premiere Pro CS4 and After Effects CS4. The card is equipped with 1.5GB (GDDR3) of memory and 76.8GBps bandwidth with dual-DisplayPort connectors and also a single dual-link DVI for panels up to 3,840 x 2,400 @24Hz. If you think you’re professional enough for this card, it is available starting...
Filed under: Desktops, Displays Check it Donnie, Nvidia just launched its Quadro CX accelerator card for Adobe's Creative Suite 4. The optimized GPU fits into your PC's PCIe slot to smooth image navigation and manipulation in Photoshop while accelerating effects in Adobe's After Effects and Premier Pro. Nvidia claims that the new GPU helps encode H.264 video at "lightning-fast speeds" when using Nvidia's Cuda-enabled CS4 plug-in while giving professionals accurate video previews with uncompressed 30-bit color or 10-/12-bit SDI (for professional video equipment) before final output. The Quadro CX features a 1.5GB (GDDR3) frame buffer and 76.8GBps memory bandwidth with...
Let the bitching about the Mini DisplayPort output on the new MacBooks begin (or just get louder): Not only does the official Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter that'll let you hook them up to a giant monitor cost $100, the Apple Store says it's not shipping for at least four weeks. Meaning if you were planning on jacking a new MacBook or MBP into your 30-inch monitor using Dual-Link DVI, you're screwed for now (and then poor later). Yay for basically proprietary ports.

Sweet! Even the MacBook Air got a boost, 9 months after the first release in January. As with the rest of the MacBook line, the new Air features the Nvidia GeForce 9400M GPU and the Mini Display Port. The MacBook Air now supports DVI, dual-link DVI, and VGA video output. It will connect to the new Apple LED Cinema Display and can drive other displays up to 30 inches in size. Unlike many of the other MacBooks, it doesn't have the new glass trackpad. The big deal from today's announcement? The top level MacBook Air now has a slightly...
Just in time for the rumored Oct. 14 MacBook event, AppleInsider has a source (notably without a track record) who's supposedly seen the new MacBook and MacBook Pro. Matching—or perhaps simply using—current speculation, the source says that the two will look like a cross between the MacBook Air and current iMacs, with tapering and black contrast material. Interestingly, it takes long-running rumors of an aluminum MacBook a step further, saying that it'll even look like it's part of the same product family as the MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is also apparently getting a bit of a port scramble, moving...

Filed under: Displays, HDTV, Home Entertainment Well, took 'em long enough! Just about a year after JVC initially demonstrated the 4k x 2k DLA-SH4K projector, the firm has finally got up the courage to begin shipments. The beastly device is based on the company's proprietary 1.27-inch 10 megapixel D-ILA technology and provides a brain-melting native 4,096 x 2,400 resolution. Packed within is a 825-Xenon lamp that generates light output of 3,500 ANSI lumens (and likely murders your energy bill). 'Round back, you'll find four DVI-D (dual-link) terminals, an RS-232C port, USB connections and an Ethernet jack for making adjustments via...

Filed under: Displays Look, we wouldn't want to be paused for your wicked, Quad HD amusement either. But seeing such a vivid demo on JVC's 4K2K (4,096 x 2,400), super high definition LCD as we strolled through IFA's digital playground reminded us of something: maybe not everything looks better in Quad HD. Think about it before you hustle on over to Japan for Panasonic's 150-inch Quad HD set next year. All juvenility aside, the image above was created using JVC "soon to arrive" ultra high-definition player attached over dual-link DVI to the 4k2k display. The video uses MPEG-4AVC compression to...
