Samsung SyncMaster U70 USB Sub-Monitor [Supplementary Display]

Last week we featured the 8″ Century Plus One LCD-8000U Sub-Monitor and now, seemingly set to compete directly with this USB supplementary display, Samsung have unveiled their SyncMaster U70 USB Sub-Monitor which offers slightly less real estate, 7″ to be exact, but which sports the same 800 x 480 screen resolution as the Plus One LCD-8000U.

Seemingly based on one of Samsung’s digital photo frames (specifically the SPF-U70), the Samsung SyncMaster U70, like the LCD-8000U, simply hooks up to your PC/notebook/laptop courtesy of USB meaning that you can add more than the one, should you wish (and should you have the free USB ports and a computer that can handle the additional strain of running multiple displays).

Especially handy for those who yearn for a little extra desktop real estate (I could do with one myself, in honesty) the Samsung SyncMaster U70 USB Sub-Monitor offers just Windows compatibility (unlike the LCD-8000U it will not play ball with Macs, unfortunately), comes with 400:1 contrast ratio, 200 cd/m2 brightness and 30ms response time.

No pricing details at present but we’ll keep our combined ears to the ground as I’m considering a purchase should it actually hit the UK.
