Title: Acer P243WAid 24″ LCD @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=12631
Summary: “In the past we have looked at several different Acer LCDs and generally have been quite pleased with them. Acer offers LCD panels that range from cost-effective 17″ models to higher-end models that are much larger and offer additional features such as a metal stand, integrated audio, and HDMI. For those that are interested in a large high-resolution screen with HDMI support and a fast response time, but that isn’t too expensive, Acer has the P243WAid. The Acer P243WAid is a 24″ LCD that fits these traits and sells for about $390 USD, but it lacks some extra features such as height and pivot adjustments.”

OCZ Technology has laid claim to being the first company to bring a “brain-computer” interface to the retail market and they have aimed it squarely at the gamer. The device is called the NIA, which is an acronym that stands for Neural Impulse Actuator, and instead of buttons, sticks, gyroscopes or motion sensors, it reads the body’s natural biosignals and translates them into commands that can be used to control PC games.
No question, it’s a pretty wild product. Go now and see.
