The term “word’s first” gets thrown around a lot with gadget releases, but with kooky creative phone maker KDDI behind the project, I’m a lot less skeptical about the claim that they have developed the first 3D cellphone screen. You can’t get the full effect from the images here, but it appears that this prototype 3.1-inch 480 x 800 WVGA LCD utilizes the “parallax barrier method” that divides images or video separately for the right and left eye. Naturally, no timetable for a release has been revealed. [IT Media via Mobile Mentalism]

We are only talking about a sink here, but I must admit that I am a sucker for a captivating design. That having been said, the Elettronico Faucet by Carlo Frattini definitely caught my eye. The allure of the system centers around an LCD display that can be used to turn the faucet on and off, control flow rate, temperature and even other faucets / showers in the house. Essentially, the Elettronico would be part of a plumbing network that would give you command over everything from one screen. It is the most exciting thing to happen to pipes since…uh, wait. Nevermind. Unfortunately, there is no word on pricing or availability at the moment.

One of the computer accessories we’re always looking for is a good screen cleaner, which is why Moshi’s Neato is pretty great. It’s a two-part microfiber screen cleaner, with one part wiping dust and one part wiping grease and fingerprints. The back of the cleaner is a material they call “GeckoPad”, which is based on a gecko’s foot and can stick to the side of your desk, your monitor or your face for easy storage.

We tried these out on our quite dusty laptop screen and it did a better job than the 3M screen we get at trade shows. It’s $16, but comes with one extra cleaner. Our quick verdict? It works, it’s compact, and it isn’t all that expensive, plus the material is machine washable so you won’t have to get your hands all that dirty. [Aevoe via Product Page]

There’s so much wrong with the application of this technology that we won’t even get started on it, but this Sharp television runs off the juice of a single attached solar panel. That’s because the 52″ LCD is illuminated by LEDs which coincidentally reduces its power draw to the same amount produced by that solar panel sitting on the floor.

As we hinted above, don’t look for this television to run any time the sun isn’t out (it appears to lack batteries), but the prototype is far more impressive than Sharp’s last, which was only a puny 26-inch set. Rain or shine, you can’t watch a game on that thing—not that you’d want to, with the Sox out of the hunt. [AVING]

I have a Time PC which I bought about 5/6 years ago. At the weekend I bought a new 19″ flat-screen/widescreen monitor to replace my old bulky monitor.

Anyway I seem to have a problem with my resolution. The resolution of the monitor is 1440 x 900. But the highest resolution selection on my PC is 1280 x 1084.

Taking into account the age of my PC would it be possible to update the resolution settings on my PC so that I can get a good picture on my monitor. Currently everything is stretched and blurry, thus causing a strain to my eyes.

I’ve been told about updating the driver, but when i install the CD that came with the monitor it does not give me the option of updating the driver. Do I need to be connected the Internet to this? As currently I am not.
