We can’t imagine the secondary display market being large, but it exists none-the-less and the LD190N is Samsung’s latest addition to it. A cool $150 will get you a monitor for your laptop with the following specifications

* 18.5 inch 1360 x 768 res display
* 50,000:1 (1,000:1 typical) contrast ratio
* 5 ms reponse time
* 170/160 degree viewing angle
* 15 pin D-SUB connector
* 22 W power consumption
* 17.72″ x 11.65″ x 2.83″ with stand
* 7.93 lbs

We can’t really think of much use for a secondary monitor on a laptop at home, apart from the occasional showing off of holiday photos and videos but then most people would hook up the laptop to their HDTV, right? So the Samsung LD190N is probably primarily aimed at the business market, if you’re still interested then pop over to Amazon to check out the Samsung LD190N.

After I had upgraded my system to a dual monitor setup I thought I wouldn’t consider a third monitor necessary for a long time. However within weeks, nay days I was craving the extra pixels that a third screen would offer me! But the thought of squeezing in another video card inside my box was just too much, OK it was actually the thought of shelling out for another card that put me off but you get the idea. Anyway it seems that Samsung have circumvented this issue and will happily support my pixel craving.

They have just released a USB connected 19 inch monitor, the 940UX. The monitor simply plugs into a spare USB port on your machine and away you go and at US$379 it’s not too much of a drain on the finances for the more frugally-minded techie peeps either.

The monitor uses a combination of on-board hardware and your machine’s CPU to drive its pixels and apparently the only limitation to the number of these you can hook up is the number of spare USB ports you have and the power of your CPU. Oh and of course your desk space!

So now we can all satisfy our pixel lust for significantly less dosh that we could yesterday. For a cool review of the unit check out Everything USB.

Paper thin.

Sony’s paper thin 15-inch LCD monitor is a sight for sore eyes. Less than 1/2-inch thick, this new flat panel delivers incredibly sharp images with killer on screen colors.

Features include just one cable that delivers all audio, video and power to the display, AutoImageSet technology which automatically adjusts image position, phase and pitch and a decent sounding pair of stereo speakers built into the base.

While Apple Computer’s $4,000 super sexy, 22-inch flat screen is the current MAC style pick of the litter, this Sony 15-inch Multiscan N50 (at $1,500) will certainly become the desktop display of many a mogul and dot com millionaire.

Would you find it useful?
