New USB monitor from Samsung

Due to the development of computer technology, computer monitors have changed a lot. At first, we had VGA monitors and after them the DVI monitors came. We have never imagined that we’ll see the day when monitors will be using USB 2.0 port. Once again, Samsung was responsible for this, providing us with a brand new monitor that uses only forked USB cable for powering.

USB displays are nothing new and they can be quite useful but the main problem with them is that they are often so small that they are almost unusable for any users that want to enjoy multimedia or latest games on it. Samsung decided to put an end to it and it has developed new 18.5-inch LCD display. In order to use it, you’ll just have to connect it to standard USB 2.0 port and you’re good to go.

When you compare it to other monitors on the market, this model has lower power consumption and it uses only 6.3W. Lower power consumption is great but this monitor has a lot more to offer. New USB monitor supports 1366 x 768 pixel resolution, it uses 250cd/m2 brightness and 1000:1 contrast ratio. Only problem with this model is that it is using edge-lit type backlight that uses LEDs as light source and therefore it has half the lifetime of the standard LCD monitor.
This is rather interesting monitor from Samsung and it’s the first of its kind, so we can’t wait to see more USB monitors from Samsung in near future.
