Clearly, Acer’s G24 monitor is the only monitor capable of matching your high-performance Predator gaming rig. It’s orange… or “metallic copper” if you work in Acer’s arts and charts department. Bounced around trade shows for the last month, the 24-inch LCD is now officially featuring a proclaimed 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio which, according to a Acer, is a world’s first for monitors. Now the specs: 1,920 x 1,200 resolution, 2-ms response, 400-nit brightness, and a host of Acer image tweaking and color management tech meant to brighten images and avoid ambient light reflection. Around back you’ll find PC-friendly DVI and game-console/Blu-ray friendly HDMI too. Unfortunately, it’s dateless and priceless just like Britney’s little sister.

Late last year, you dear readers chimed in with your opinions for best earbuds in the land. Now, however, Ask Engadget is comin’ atcha from a slightly different angle. Take it away, Jose:
“I’m looking for some good headphones for around $150. I hate earbuds (so uncomfortable and the audio quality seems to depend on the angle that they’re stuck in there,) so now I’m looking for full-on cans. I’ve been told both positive and negative things about Bose cans, but I’m looking for a few more opinions here. Help me and my ears!”
Just as a note, we got the impression that Jose would be willing to stretch that budget a bit if a real winner was available just north of two bills, so feel free to pass out suggestions even if they’re a touch pricier than what was mentioned. If you’re looking to have your question heard loud and clear, shoot it over to ask at engadget dawt com and wish upon your lucky star(s), alright?

While we’ve seen Consumer Reports take a gander at a number of HDTVs before, it’s been a tick (or maybe “forever” is more fitting) since it’s seen “the best flat screen ever tested.” Believe it or not, Panasonic’s 50-inch TH-50PZ700U plasma was actually the recipient of such sensational praise, and such luxuries as the 1080p resolution (oooh) and its ability to “reproduce the finest details, rich vibrant colors and deep blacks” (aaah) apparently set it way ahead of the pack. Additionally, the screen was so impressive that reviewers actually stated that it “lent an almost three-dimensional look to images,” which we figured was only possible with a pair of truly gaudy glasses. Welp, guess we all know which HDTV you’re getting next, eh?
