CES 2004 Coverage

TheCheat writes "CES 2004 is just getting underway in Las Vegas. It looks like there is quite a bit of coverage from several websites including: Anandtech's revelation of Intel and AMD roadmaps; Tom's Hardware's look at Xbox2 rumors; A look at Microsoft's keynote at ExtremeTech; and finally a look at some BIG monitors at TrustedReviews. It looks like CES is much bigger than COMDEX this year."

  1. Plasma is for sucks. DLP is the way to go. by revscat · · Score: 5, Informative

    Plasma displays seem to have gotten all the media attention for some reason, but DLP projectors and displays are superior in just about every measurable way: brightness, weight, resolution, etc. Plus DLP screens are far less of a maintenance nightmare: the only thing you will ever have to replace is the bulb, and that only once every 3 or 4 years. Plasma screens, on the other hand, are not expected to have a total lifetime of much longer than that.

    Oh yeah, and vim is better than emacs.

  3. four 42s != one 84 by RowdyReptile · · Score: 5, Informative

    here's a link from dell's website selling an NEC 84inch plasma monitor!

    Dell is marketing it as an 84-inch Plasma Monitor, but it's just "four NEC PX42VP4 Plasma Displays and the required wall mount bundled together". Not the same.
