LG FLATRON L206WU LCD monitor announced
Reading this article on a sub-standard PC monitor? Isn’t it about time you upgraded? Consider LG’s new FLATRON L206WU model then, which was just announced today.
The 20″ model can reportedly connect up to six other screens via USB, and will configure to the optimal settings. Not only can it adjust from 35mm to 140mm in height, but it can also rotate from landscape to portrait if that’s the sort of fun you’re after….
LG staying with HD DVD to the VERY END – sticking with Blu-ray and HD DVD combo drives
LG has said it’s going to carry on making HD DVD players, using such words as “convenience” and “consumer” to justify its decision to stick with the recently deceased format.
If we were to be cynical about it, though – and there’s little we enjoy more! – we’d say that’s because poor LG has a factory full of the things somewhere in Korea it’s desperately trying to shift before they become worth bugger all.
But that’s not what LG said. It would…
eBay overflowing with cut-price HD DVD discs and players
Those eBay sellers are craftier than I first thought. Whilst the announcement from Toshiba that they were to cease production of HD DVD players only arrived this morning, the public has expected it since early January, when Warner battered the format into oblivion, by deciding on exclusive support of Blu-ray and finishing its contract with HD DVD.
A quick glance on eBay this morning has turned up 2,381 auctions for actual HD DVD discs, with some appallingly cheap options including a job lot of six high-profile films for £49 with 2 hours left (at HMV, this would retail for £124.92), the…

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: First picture of the LG MusicStation Max music phone
Remember the big news yesterday about LG’s MusicStation Max handset, which they’re working on with Omnifone? You know, the one that you buy, sign up to a monthly contract, and then get unlimited music downloads for the duration of your contract? Pretty cool, eh?
MWC 2008 Video Preview: LG's new HSPA Horizon phones
Here’s something to confuse you – Ashley displays his geek credentials in this video, by explaining the differences between HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA and other 3G formats.

LG says Chocolate / Shine successor coming in May, plus new Viewty
Here’s a nugget from my interview with LG’s Jeremy Newing that I thought was worth spinning off as a separate story. It seems it’ll only be a matter of months before LG releases the next phone in its Black Label series, following the Chocolate and Shine handsets (latter pictured).
LG damps down touchscreen-mania: "People still want to have a keypad…"
After launching the touchscreen-only Viewty and Prada phones, you might think LG is keen to kill off the humble mobile keypad. But it seems consumers have said ‘not so fast!’ to the company, with the result that LG is now including slide-out keypads into a number of its touchscreen phones.
Won't SOMEONE put Motorola out of their misery and just buy them already!?
Motorola has been pulling a lot of those sad faces recently, with reports they’ve seen a huge 33% drop in sales in 2007 compared to 2006, and that they’re seeking a rival manufacturer to take pity on them and buy them out.
LG, however, is not interested in the slightest. Their Mobile CEO, Skott Ahn, claims the company has “never looked to buy” Motorola. Sony Ericsson also claims they’re not considering purchasing Motorola either. The man in my local kebab shop isn’t in the slightest bit interested either, commenting “I can shift more lamb donors in an hour than I would Razr2…
