The HD digital distribution club just got a little bigger, as lossless audio distributor MusicGiants is launching its VideoGiants service with 250 movies from Paramount, and additional content from HDNet. Available in 1080p or 1080i WMV format, users can purchase the movies in 10-packs for $159 delivered via Seagate hard drives or, in a few months, one at a time via direct download to a home media server. After that, it can be viewed via the media PC or Media Extender (including Xbox 360). MusicGiants has been selling HD audio tracks to high end home theater owners via its network of dealers and installers for about two years, with plans to make this type of service available to the mass market soon. Still think the future of HD content is on shiny discs?

Those looking for some added desktop real estate may want to keep an eye on what EVGA has in store, as the company has just taken the wraps off two upcoming products that take considerably different approaches to expand your view of things. The first is a rather standard USB monitor adapter, dubbed the EVGA UV Plus+, which will apparently be available in both standard and widescreen-capable versions (as opposed to one that does both). The former of those will give you a max resolution 1280×1024, while the latter maxes out at a decent 1680×1050, with each boasting a single DVI port and support for full 32-bit color depth. Taking another tact is the company’s so-called InterView display (pictured after the break), which consists of two 17-inch monitors that can be folded together for toting around. Those’ll give you a combined 2880×900 resolution, along with a 500:1 contrast ratio and an 8ms response time. On a somewhat related front, EVGA also took the opportunity to show off its latest motherboard, which may be most notable simply for its name: the EVGA 780i SLI FTW (we kid you not.)

ook, we really want to live in a world where strolling around wearing MyVu’s latest video glasses is acceptable, but we just don’t — which is probably why Mahalo Daily’s Veronica Belmont could just barely bring herself to put ‘em on when she stopped by the booth at CES.
