From CES: World's first 8K monitor from Dell which cost ONLY $5,000

The Dell UP3218K is the first 8K-resolution monitor we've heard of that's actually scheduled to go on sale. That's 7,680x4,320-pixel resolution, or 33.2 million pixels in all! At 280 pixels per inch, it should be even crisper than Apple's stunning 5K iMac with Retina Display. It's like having four 4K screens in a single panel.
And this 31.5-inch monitor isn't just about the pixels: It lives in an all-aluminum frame with
pan, tilt, swivel, height adjustment and delightfully slim bezels. It comes color-calibrated from the factory, and Dell claims it displays 100 percent of the Adobe RGB, sRGB and Rec709 color spectrums -- plus a sizable amount of other color standards that I'm less familiar with.
there's barely any 8K content out there for you to watch, and even the most ridiculous gaming PCs would struggle to play the latest titles at 8K, but this monitor isn't for those people. It's for the content creators who have the $5,000 -- yes, $5,000 -- to spend on a monitor. Dell imagines it being used in "commercial fields where in-depth image zooming is critical -- such as photo and video editing, medicine and diagnostic research, and oil and gas exploration." People whose jobs depend on peeping every single pixel. If that's not you, maybe wait until 8K comes down to a reasonable price and there's actually something other than your own imagery to view. Otherwise, it should go on sale March 23 at Dell.com.

LG’s first flexible OLED phone due before the year is out

LG plans to launch a flexible OLED smartphone before the end of the year, the company’s VP of mobile has confirmed, though it’s unclear to what extent the work-in-progress handset will actually flex. The OLED panel in question is the handiwork of LG Display according to VP of LG mobile Yoon Bu-hyun, the WSJ  reports, with the proposed device set to launch sometime in Q4. LG Display’s work on flexible OLEDs has been underway for some time, though the company’s efforts have perhaps been overshadowed somewhat by rival Samsung’s YOUM development. Last year, according to a Korea Times report, LG Display was preparing for
Flexible displays are the Future of IT Industry! A part from 4k and smart home appliances, the CES 2013 saw a lot of attention being drawn towards bendable, flexible displays. The elasticised display idea isn’t something new as we have seen hoards of device concepts being crafted around flexible, bendable and even foldable displays. These concept devices give us a futuristic feel, be it a flexible phone to be worn around the wrist or a phone that opens up to turn into a tablet or PSP-like device. But how far is this future? Nokia has been toying with the idea ever since we remember. The technology sounds very fascinating and the possibilities and the extent to which bendable displays could be used are vast and leave us spellbound. However, these have always been concepts and we haven’t seen any device materialise in the real world. There have been several technologies that were conceived in these years and all have been put to their practical use. But the bendable d

Xarius: Charge Your Mobile From Air

Xarius is a portable energy generator that allows to charge electrical appliances by the use of windpower in areas without electricity. Its lightweight and compact design makes the wind turbine to a perfect companion on backpacking trips with little luggage. It is composed of a foldable three-wing-system and an internal energy generator. The integrated rope makes it easy to adapt to any environment.Hooks are attached to both of its ends to tighten the rope and open the wings at the same time using the resulting tension. For convenient charging the battery is permanently installed, so that the electrical device can be charged inside the tent. The LED on the hook shows the current charge of battery. The pulsating orange indicates that the wind turbine has to recharge. Even at low wind speeds the blades begin to rotate autonomously.
