Logitech has released their Wireless Guitar Controller for the Xbox 360 that is one of the more authentic Guitar Hero controllers to date. After all, this was specially licensed for Guitar Hero use and is made from authentic materials such as a wood neck, a rosewood fingerboard and metal frets, offering gamers a chance to unleash their inner rock star in the living room with aplomb. Since it was also licensed for Xbox 360, setup is a cinch.
The virtually silent Strum Bar and fret buttons won’t distract you from the music. Plus, with a wireless range of up to 30 feet, you’re free to go where the music moves you. The Logitech Wireless Guitar Controller for Xbox 360 is expected to be available in the U.S. and Europe in August for a suggested retail price of $199.99.
Over in South Korea, the good people of LG have unveiled their latest product, a Full HD enabled 23 inch 3D LCD screen. The panel offers improved brightness over competing monitors and consequently a higher quality picture and viewing experience. The panel utilises LG's Display Proprietary technology to produce images twice as bright as other 3D LCD panels, in HD format and exhibits the highest brightness of any modern 3D display.The principle behind the 3D panel is simple, yet very effective. The monitor applies time sequential technologies so that each eye views a slightly different image, which when interpreted by the brain, produces a three dimensional image. Until now, the bulk of the technology has been built into the viewing glasses or outside of the panel itself. LG's latest model embeds the majority of the technology directly into the panel itself, which reduces colour limitations and offers a brighter picture.
Space, the final frontier. These are the features of the Laserpod Supernova - to boldly glow where no Laserpod has glowed before, to seek out new lighting effects, to transform your ceiling into a laser studded sky of infinite depth and variation. We may be stretching the analogy a bit now, so let's move on. This total re-design, re-fit and re-vamp of the Laserpod into its current incarnation as the aptly named Supernova is quite simply stunning. Looking not a little unlike the piston head from some kind of sexy super-car, it hides a brilliant (quite literally) lighting display system. A cluster of powerful LEDs and a laser are embedded in the aluminium body of the light, and shine up through a revolving multi-faced crystal that splits and fractures the light sources into a galaxy of ever changing effects. Great sweeps of stars (including shooting ones) unfold across your ceiling, interspersed with clustered novas, and probably a quark or two. The Supernova comes with three filters to change the style and impact of the display from crisp stars and space clouds, to ever transforming fractal light show, to gentle undulation colour shifts, and you can place any glass item over the top lens to add even more lighting effects. Each element creates different but equally mesmerising lighting effects that are both mellow and yet decidedly funky. The Laserpod Supernova is set to be the 21st Century answer to the lava lamp, only stratospherically cooler.
