It seems that if you don’t make something portable these days people just won’t want to buy it. That looks to be the reasoning behind MEDL Technology and their plans to launch the world’s first portable LED monitor. Typical, tiny secondary displays are old news because “The Panel”, as MEDL Technology is calling it, is an actual 13.3-inch LED-backlit monitor that measures less than an inch thick.

According to CEO of MEDL Technology Eric Liao, “The technology wasn’t available previously to manufacture an elegant, lightweight and durable portable display but with The Panel, anyone can add a second or third monitor their laptop and easily pack it up and go. Our vision is to make life easier for the laptop-toting public and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to launch our first product at DEMO.”

MEDL Technology unveiled The Panel at IDG’s DEMO conference in Palm Springs, California yesterday. The Panel is a multi-purpose LED display and is targeted at both consumer and business audiences. The Panel is lightweight coming in at only 2.2lbs and is perfect for work or entertainment. The device is Mac OS and Windows compatible and connects to easily to any computer through a standard USB cable and can be up and running as quickly as 10 seconds.

Nobody likes to be bogged down with cords and wires these days. Every piece of technology we acquire these days has to be wireless, or at least have the ability to go wireless, or we don’t want it. Due to the consumers desire for no wire, devices like computers, video game systems and even DVD players are all coming portable. But portable TVs seems to be the best idea of them all.

While portable TVs are not a new thing around the world, the idea never really caught the attention of us folks here in the U.S. But that hasn’t stopped companies like Panasonic from rolling out the devices, especially in places like Japan. Over in the technological wonderland, Panasonic has unveiled two new digital Viera TVs, the DMP-HV100 and the DMP-BV200.

The 10.1-inch a-Si TFT TVs are so much more than simple portable TVs. Both sets sport a 1024×600 native resolution and can be connected to wirelessly to a Panasonic DVR to stream content via WiFi dongle. There are a few small differences between the HV100 and the BV200. The 200 model can act as a bulky PMP allowing you to download multiple forms of media files, like DivX and H.264 through an SD card.

NVIDIA has just announced there newest product NVIDIA 3DTV Play, a software solution that allows consumers to connect their GeForce GPU-powered desktop or laptop to any new 3D TV. Now many of you have probably been hearing the trouble going on when NVIDIA was faced with a certified standard for 3D and not having any GPUs that were able to meet it. Currently, the NVIDIA 3D Vision-compatible cards dish out the necessary pixels over DisplayPort or dual DVI plugs while the official specification for 3D TVs is an HDMI 1.4 plug which accepts data from both plugs simultaneously.

The good news is that all of NVIDIA’s cards upgrade to HDMI 1.4 no problem and every 3D Vision customer will receive the upgrade for free later this spring. 3DTV Play allows you to connect any compatible NVIDIA GeForce GPU-powered PC or notebook to 3D TVs. NVIDIA 3DTV Play can be run on GeForce GPU-based computers that have an HDMI or DVI connector, comes with full support for all HDMI 1.4-compatible 3D TVs, has advanced NVIDIA software and graphics drivers which automatically converts over 400 games to stereoscopic 3D in real time, allows you to enjoy full HD Blu-ray 3D playback with real-time GPU accelerated decoding and playback on GeForce GPUs, watch streaming 3D movies and directly view 3D photos.

Senior Vice President of Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company Bob Perry said in a statement, “NVIDIA is a premiere choice for gamers, and 3DTV Play delivers an easy way for them to game on the big screen, for the ultimate, immersive experience. We are pleased that NVIDIA shares our commitment to providing awesome technology to savvy customers, and we are happy to offer NVIDIA the opportunity to highlight their 3D solution as part of our nationwide road show.” The roadshow mentioned, of course, is Panasonic’s coast-to-coast 2010 “Panasonic Touch the Future Tour”. NVIDIA will be showcasing their new 3DTV Play as Panasonic shows off their VIERA Full HD 3D TVs which launched this month.
