Samsung is to unveil a new super-high resolution panel which could set the standard for notebook displays. This week, the company will launch a 13.3-inch QHD 3200 x 1800 panel with 276 pixels-per-inch (PPI), and offers greater pixel densities than Apple's Retina MacBook Pro 13 (227 PPI) and Google's Chromebook Pixel (239 PPI). Just last week, Sharp announced it would begin manufacturing its new high-pixel density IGZO LCD panels in 11.6-inch, 14-inch, and 15.6-inch variants. Samsung says the display will provide 30 percent greater power-savings than existing LCD displays but has yet to confirm if the panel will come to new ultrabooks. If it does, Toshiba's 13.3-inch Kirabook — with its impressive 2560 x 1440 display — could have some high-resolution competition in the near future.
Better Than Retina, More Pixels Than The Pixel

An update to the Google Music app broke compatibility with the ill-fated Nexus Q — but it appears Google may have a new media streamer waiting in the wings to replace it. A recent FCC filing provides some sparse details on a mysterious product referenced as the "H840 Device." Google is...
It's easy to miss the Google TV booth here at I/O 2013, hidden in the corner of the third floor. That may not be an accident: there was apparently no room in the company's sprawling three-and-a-half-hour keynote to mention Google TV, either, just...
In the old days when you could still find a video rental store in most towns, ordering a pizza for the evening's movie was second nature for many families. Things have changed a bit in the Netflix era, but that combination still proves popular in many countries around the...
