Don’t expect anything miraculous from Mitsubishi’s latest announcement, but the firm is doling out a bevy of totally average LCD monitors for those in the market. First up is the 19-inch RDT193WM, which features a WXGA+ (1,440 x 900) panel, 1,000:1 contrast ratio, 300 cd/m2 brightness, five-millisecond response time, 160-degree viewing angles and VGA / DVI inputs. Moving on up, we find the 20.1-inch RDT203WM / RDT203WM-S, which sports a 1,680 x 1,050 resolution but otherwise mimics the specifications on its smaller sibling. Finally, the 22-inch RDT222WM rocks the same WSXGA+ panel as the 20.1-incher, but an HDMI port is thrown in to further differentiate it from the pack. As for pricing, expect the bunch to land later this month for ¥34,800 ($307), ¥44,800 ($395) / ¥49,800 ($439) and ¥54,800 ($483), respectively.


Yeah, we know, those award spam posts were getting annoying — we were even starting to bug our damn selves with all the vote whoring. Granted, we don’t really do that kind of thing but once or twice a year, and we’re still not even sure who won yet, but either way we wanted say thanks and make it up to everyone by giving away a bit of gear. Consider it a precursor to our massive Black Friday giveaways. Yeah, you heard us right. So what’s up for grabs today?

  • Microsoft Wireless Notebook Laser Mouse 7000
  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000

All good stuff (more info on ‘em here). Just don’t forget the rules. (Yeah, there are always rules):

  • Leave a comment below. That’s it! Who loves you, baby.
  • You may only enter this specific giveaway once. If you enter this giveaway more than once you’ll be automatically disqualified, etc. (Yes, we have robots that thoroughly check to ensure fairness.) In other words, be careful when commenting and if you submit more than once, only activate one comment, ok? You’ll be fine.
  • If you enter more than once, only activate one comment. This is pretty self explanatory.
  • Contest is open to anyone in the 50 States, 18 or older! Sorry, we don’t make this rule, be mad at our lawyers or US contest laws if you have to be mad at something.
  • Winners will be chosen randomly.

Office Depot Featured Gadget: Xbox 360 Platinum System Packs the power to bring games to life!


We’ve seen a couple pretty press photos of the forthcoming DS 1seg TV tuner, but nothing beats video — and the Japanese promo video unearthed by the crew at Gamebrink delivers the goods in spades. Apart from the usual orientation and aspect ratio settings, the tuner has some neat extra features — you can take notes on one screen while watching on the other, and it also can be set to take screenshots whenever the closed captioning changes, allowing you to flip through a show like a picture book later. Japanese DS fans can get their hands on the 1seg tuner starting on the 23rd, according to Gamebrink. Check the whole video after the break.
