Samsung and DisplayLink seem to be getting along well as evidenced by the growing USB display line-up from the Korean electronic giant. At CES 2009, Samsung again showcased its latest USB monitors with some new interesting twists. The new LD220 and LD190X are primarily targeted at notebook workaholics who can never have enough desktop estate for the million things they want to to do. The duo answers the call for a more laptop-friendly solution, emphasizing on ergonomic, ease of connectivity as well as power saving. Both monitors feature the same 16:9 aspect ratio (now more commonly seen on computer LCDs); the 19" LD190X tops out at 720p while the 22" LD220 offers 1080p. The 'stand-less' monitors are also made way they are on purpose, allowing them to sit flush on the desk so the screen is maintained the same same level as the notebook's display. There's of course USB in addition to D-sub (VGA); the primary connectivity is wired USB for the line-up, but Samsung likes to call it UbiSync for marketing reasons. The LD190X additionally features built-in Certified Wireless USB, and ships with a HWA dongle that shouldn't be needed as WUSB silicons start appearing on more laptops. To address the concern for conserving energy, the same monitor reportedly uses 33% less energy than a typical 19 incher. About Everything USB
