BenQ has just unveiled a new and thin LED-backlit LCD TV in Taiwan where it's now available. The XT4242 is going for around $1,355 USD ($43,652 Taiwan Dollars) and it's sporting a body which is just 4cm thin. The display spans 42-inches and has 120Hz technology, four HDMI inputs, a USB / VGA port, audio ports, and a built-in ambient light sensor. The worldwide launch wasn't mentioned but, like I said, it's available in Taiwan right now.

Another notebook from HP has just hit Japan, this time it's the ProBook 5220m. This notebook comes equipped with a 12.1-inch display with a 1,280 x 800 resolution, Intel Celeron U3400 / Core i3-350UM / Core i5-450UM CPU options, up to 4GB of RAM, a 7,200rpm HDD / 80GB SSD, a 4 / 6-cell battery, and Windows XP / Vista / 7 as an OS. This notebook is actually available in Japan right now for the equivalent of $760, and it'll hopefully hit the US (and North America) in the near future.
