Dell shows off 43-inch 4K monitor, splits into 4 1080p screens

What better way to multitask than have multiple windows open while you work. This is what the company had in mind when they made the Dell 43 Multi-Client Monitor since its 43-inch 4K display could be split into 4 parts — each with Full HD resolution.

Dell 43 Multi-Client Monitor (P4317Q) specs:
43-inch Ultra HD display @ 3840 x 2160 resolution
DisplayPort 1.2
miniDisplayPort
2x HDMI 1.4 ports
VGA 15-pin DSUB
4x USB 3.0

What this display boasts is that it saves up to 30% of energy compared to when you use four monitors to multitask. Another thing is that users could hook up to four different sources as long as you have the necessary video ports for them. Additionally, it features an RS232 connection which allows for a simple remote management by IT and a matte coating to avoid glares.

It is currently selling for $1,349.99 or approximately Php63K when directly converted.

LG announces development of fingerprint scanner under the screen

We usually see fingerprint scanners at the back of a smartphone or embedded within the home button. This time, LG Innotek, an affiliate of the South Korean phone giant, announces that it has developed a new sensor that could be placed under the handset’s display.

The company has been proud in letting the people know that it was able to slip a fingerprint sensor into a tiny 0.01-inch space under the smartphone cover glass. The development of this technology would no longer require the security sensor to have a dedicated space for it and could open the possibility of waterproofing the entire device since it could now be designed in such a way that there will be no gaps for water to seep in.

According to LG, using this kind of fingerprint sensor is comparable to the ones used now and will even help reduce smartphone malfunctions. There are still no word when we’ll be seeing this innovation on smartphones but a spokesperson from the company mentioned to Korea Times that they are in talks with smartphone manufacturers about commercializing the new sensors this year.

AMOLED displays could be the standard for cheaper phones

Kevin Bruce Francisco

Although AMOLED displays are commonly installed in devices leaning closer to the high-end category, we soon might be seeing these even in inexpensive phones since they are now cheaper to produce than LCD.

LTPS LCD has been the major panel usually seen in handsets due to their affordable price. The year 2015 ended with LCD costing $15.7 for a 5-inch Full HD smartphone, while AMOLED was more expensive at $17.1. As of the moment, production of LCD in 2016’s first quarter costs $14.6 compared to AMOLED which is only at $14.3.

This tip in the scale will most likely mean that there will soon come a time where not only premium devices will get this kind of display and manufacturers would be able to provide high-quality smartphones at a lower cost.

The source mentions that possible reasons behind this are high rates of operation, wider range for customers, and end of depreciation of production lines. p
