Samsung USB Monitor Enables Multiple Screens

By DE Editors

Samsung Electronics America,  Inc. (Irvine, CA) announced the Samsung 940UX Monitor, calling it the first 19-inch flat-panel USB-connected LCD monitor. Using Samsung’s proprietary UbiSync technology to allow multiple screens to connect via USB, rather than VGA, without the need for a graphics card or any special video hardware, the 940UX is a breakthrough for those who rely on a multiple-screen environment.

Each 940UX features an onboard video card and embedded software driver allowing for easy and automatic installation on any Windows XP PC. The monitor works well for users who need to add a second or third monitor to a laptop or PC, particularly PCs that lack space for an extra graphics card. Users can add up to six 940UX monitors on one PC, providing up to 114 inches of desktop space increasing productivity by giving users the ability to have multiple windows open across multiple displays.

The 940UX, which is backed by a three-year limited warranty on labor and parts (including the backlight) as well as toll-free technical support for the life of the display, offers a height adjustable stand and lets users view documents in portrait and landscape mode, for a customizable work experience. The 940UX, which is priced at $379 MSRP, also features the traditional VGA (15-pin D-sub) and DVI connections.
