Product Description
Sharp has once again demonstrated its mastery of LCD technology by developing the LC-20PX1U, an advanced PC card-compatible AQUOS Liquid Crystal Television, setting the stage for the next-generation entertainment device for home networking and convergence.The Open AQUOS LC-20PX1U is evidence of Sharp's conviction that the TV is the audio/video focal point for the home network. You can watch, pause, and record live TV shows using only the included 5GB HDD card, and without a separate set-top box. The TV connects wirelessly to any Microsoft Windows 2000 or greater Wi-Fi enabled home network system, allowing you to share images and music from a computer, using a compatible off-the-shelf PCMCIA WiFi card.
Amazon.com Product Description
Sharp's 20-inch LC-20PX1U Open AQUOS liquid crystal TV helps eliminate the tangle and clutter associated with traditional home entertainment while making your home network more functional. Featuring dual Type II PCMCIA PC Card slots and a supplied 5 GB HDD card, the Open AQUOS set gives you the option to view digital still photos, listen to digital audio files (WMA, MP3), watch video clips, and more--from most common flash-memory media or directly from your PC via a WiFi connection (optional wireless PC Card adapter required for networking).

The slots can run simultaneously, and the included HDD card lets the set function like a DVR (digital video recorder), recording up to 4 hours of programming for time-shifted viewing or for future archiving to tape or disc. This card includes onscreen guides for effortless recording, fast forward, and rewind. A built-in microphone even lets family members record quick messages and reminders for each other.

You can also watch slide shows of your favorite digital stills using your camera's SD Card, SmartMedia, MultiMedia Card, CompactFlash, and/or Memory Stick cards. If you want to send photos or music files from your PC to the Open AQUOS set in another part of your home, most WiFi adapter cards will do the trick with ease. The set even offers built-in games to keep everyone entertained.

The LC-20PX1U is under 3 inches thin, offers high-quality built-in speakers powered by 2 watts per channel, and features Sharp's exclusive Advanced Super View panel with Black TFT low-reflection coating for leading-edge brightness, contrast, and viewing angles. The 4:3 Enhanced Definition (EDTV) monitor has several input/output jacks: connections consist of 1 progressive-scan component-video input, 2 composite-video inputs, 1 S-video input. The set accepts HDTV signals from DTV set-top boxes, scaling them for display on its 640 x 480-pixel screen.

LCD screens offer a number of benefits over CRT monitors and televisions, including general ease of use, freedom from eye strain (no screen flickering or radiation emissions), quiet operation (no high-pitch "flyback" noise, an issue with CRT TVs), accurate image geometry (no curvature distortion or susceptibility to magnetic interference from, say, speakers), long screen life (no risk of image burn-in), space savings, and light weight/easy positioning. They also tend to be cheaper and, to some eyes, slightly more natural looking than their plasma flat-panel counterparts, which usually "spec" higher (higher brightness, higher contrast ratio).

The LC-20PX1U's Advanced Super View/black TFT (thin-film-transistor) screen offers exceptionally wide (170- by 170-degree) viewing angles and an high contrast ratio of 500:1 for super-black blacks. Its high brightness (430 cd/m2) ensures wide dynamic range for vivid colors, great depth, and realism. You can place it anywhere--near windows, doors, or other light sources--and its picture will remain vivid. And, with its 60,000-hour lamp life, the backlight life is long enough to give you viewing pleasure for many years.

Amazon.com Product Description

Take your computing life with you wherever you roam with the Compaq Presario V2670US, designed for the budget-minded mobile professional. Featuring a cool, modern metallic design, the V2670US weighs only 5.4 pounds and is as thin as 1.29 inches. The widescreen 14-inch BrightView display is easily viewable even in direct sunlight and is great for watching DVD movies in their natural aspect ratio. It's powered by a powerful 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 ML-37 processor (which is ready to handle demanding 64-bit applications), and also offers a 80 GB hard drive, 2 GB of installed RAM (maxing out the capacity), LightScribe dual layer DVD+/-RW drive (which also burns CDs), 54g wi-fi connectivity with 125HSM/SpeedBooster support, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity (for synchronizing your PC with cell phones and PDAs).

The Basics
<ul>

Hard Drive: The 120 GB hard drive (4200 RPM) is large in size for notebook PCs, and it's roomy enough to store business productivity applications, all your important documents and presentations, and a good-sized digital audio and video library.

Processor: Combining strong performance with efficient usage of power, the 2.0 GHz AMD Turion 64 ML-37 is uniquely optimized to power today's thinnest notebooks. It's also built for tomorrow's 64-bit applications, which will require a processor with significant power. It includes such AMD technology features as HyperTransport (which increases the communication between integrated circuits), PowerNow! (which enables longer battery life and reduced heat generation), and Enhanced Virus Protection (which works with Windows XP Service Pack 2 to better withstand attacks from certain classes of viruses). It also features a 1 MB L2 cache. (An L2, or secondary, cache temporarily stores data; and a larger L2 cache can help speed up your system's performance.)

Memory: The 2 GB of installed RAM (333 MHz) maximizes the memory capacity for this notebook, making it a great choice to tackle high-end graphics and video editing right out of the box.

CD/DVD Drive: Offering the latest in DVD writing technology, this PC's multiformat DVD/CD drive is compatible with both DVD+ and DVD- disc formats as well as dual-layer (DL) DVD+/-R discs, which can store up to 8.5 GB of data. It features 4x DVD-R DL Write Once, 2.4x DVD+R DL Write Once, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 8x DVD-R, 4x DVD-RW, 8x DVD-ROM, 40x CD-R, 24x CD-RW, and 40x CD-ROM speeds.

This LightScribe DVD+/-RW drive lets you laser-etch silkscreen quality text and images on to CDs and DVDs. Your software, PC and discs work together for a no-hassle way to burn just the labels you want. After you burn content, just flip the disc over, reinsert and burn your label--anything from a simple title to a full-disc work of art.

Keyboard & Mouse: This notebook has a full-sized 101-key keyboard and touchpad with four-way scroll zone on/off button and dedicated vertical scroll up/down pad. </ul> Screen, Graphics and Sound
The 14-inch BrightView WXGA high-definition widescreen display has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 768-pixel resolution, providing 25 percent more screen information and the same widescreen film picture size as a standard 15-inch XGA screen. You'll get TV-quality images, even in direct sunlight. Video is powered by the ATI Radeon XPress 200M IGP video/graphics card, which delivers good, though not high-end, 3D graphics. It delivers 128 MB of video RAM shared with the system memory. ATI's HyperMemory technology allows the chipset to run in either Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) mode or with dedicated frame buffer memory to enhance graphics performance. It also features an integrated audio card with microphone and headphone jacks.

Connectivity and Expansion Slots
The V2670US has an integrated 54g wireless LAN that's fully compatible with 802.11b/g wireless networks. The 125 HSM/SpeedBooster support will enable it to be ready for tomorrow's 125 Mbps wireless LANs. With the Bluetooth wireless connectivity, you can synchronize and transfer files between the PC and peripherals such as cell phones and PDAs. You get a basic offering of connectivity options, which does not include FireWire: <ul>

3 USB 2.0 ports for connecting a wide range of peripherals--from digital cameras to MP3 players

1 FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.Link) port for connecting digital video camcorders and other peripherals

1 VGA monitor port

1 S-Video port for connecting to a TV

1 PCMCIA (or PC Card) slot (Type I/II, 32-bit)

1 headphone jack and 1 microphone jack
