@Gerard Banasig: yes, this is based on DisplayLink USB graphics technology. It uses the new DL-165 chip:

this is very interesting. i hope you can do a review on this with regards to performance with games.

i’m sure this will do well with office-type workloads, but will it do for gaming ?

Can I get one of these, match with a TV tuner(stand alone type) and make it a cheaper LCD TV?

One more thought: This monitor may be the solution that HP Mini 1000 owners have been looking for, given that the netbook doesn’t have VGA out built in. It would also obviate the need for Mac users to buy a mini-DVI to VGA (or mini-Displayport to VGA) adapter (assuming that performance of the monitor via USB is adequate).

Abe, please test out how well graphics intensive apps such as games will work on the Samsung via USB. I’ve seen USB to VGA adapters overseas and most of them don’t work very well with games (or even with video sometimes), as USB throughput is a bit limited for digital video output.

@Bon – thanks for the update on the price.

@Glenn -haven’t seen this in stores yet. I only have 1 unit wiht me so I cannot really test the UbiSync that allows me to tile the monitors serially or in parallel.

@Gerard – yes, the stand allows you to tilt it vertically in notches but that’s it. You can’t tilt it sideways — that would have been way cooler.

@Jhay – I guess by wall-mounting it? There’s a computer table that have brackets for wall-mounting several monitors.

@virtualstefan – still uses a power cord separately and the 22watts as stated by Glenn is correct.

@benison – check out my previous post about Chimei monitors.

I was the one that posted that at PhilMug. That’s the price in the brochure so I guess it’s the highest price for this item. And yes, no hits in TPC yet.

Sammy might start selling mounts for this for the square tiling but knowing Sammy, they never make VESA compatible monitors often. I checked, this one can’t be mounted normally. The kickstand can adjust the tilt.

Data comes from USB, power is still the regular plug to the wall. Clocks in at 22W for the 19″ model as per the leaflet.

@yuga, I’m really interested in this since it works with Macs so you can easily add extra monitors to your MacBook/Pro setup. Please post up a review for us! Thanks!

Is this the display link technology? and is there a way to tilt this up or down I guess not.

If there’s a base for this unit instead of just the stand, then this one’s a real bargain. Otherwise, how could you tile them in one big square?

@Bon Layug
If that is really the SRP, this makes this LCD a great steal!

@virtualstefan13
I’m just assuming here but I believe it has a separate plug. The USB connection only serves as the “data transport” from your computer to the monitor. A separate plug should come with it more or less!

I wonder how many watts does it take to use that monitor…

It might be astonishing if it only comes from the usb power… :p

According to a member of Philmug.PH, these monitors are priced at P8,500 for the 19-inch model and P12,500 for the 22-incher at Power Mac Center SM North EDSA. (see http://philmug.ph/forum/showthread.php?t=49167)

This could be useful for setting up multi-seat linux or windows workstations. I have not found anyone on google doing this on linux or windows but come 6 months, things might be different.
