22-inch USB-Powered Monitor

The developer of USB-powered monitors, AOC, has recently upgraded its line by launching the e2251Fwu, a 22-inch LED backlit monitor. The new television set receives both power and signal via USB connection. With the help of a USB cable connection the user can benefit from a dual- or multi-monitor setup, and take a second monitor on the road and link it to their laptop. The new 10.6-milimeter-thick e2251Fwu boasts a Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution and works at 60 Hz. It has a response time of 5 ms, a 250 cd/m2 brightness and a dynamic contrast ration of 20,000,000:1. In addition, the device is also HDCP compatible. It features a built-in USB 2.0 port that allows the user to connect an extra monitor or other USB devices. The USB monitor also includes a removable stand that, according to the company, allows the device to be used as a digital photo frame or play the role of a presentation display. The e2251Fwu is equipped by a DisplayLink chip and is compatible with Linux, Windows XP/Vista/7 and OSX Tiger/Leopard/Lion systems. The company will unveil its innovation at CES 2012 and launch it onto the market in February. The device will be priced at $199..
