FLATRON L206WU can connect to up to six monitors at one time
Dubai, UAE - LG Electronics, a major player in the global flat panel display market, announced the introduction of a new widescreen LCD monitor that can be connected to a computer using a USB cable. FLATRON L206WU is aimed at people who want to add a second screen - in fact, it can accommodate up to six additional screens - without having to open up the computer to install a second graphics card.
Studies have shown that a second monitor greatly enhances productivity, but adding a second monitor has always been a costly and difficult procedure that requires installing a second graphics card in the computer. Connected using a simple USB cable, FLATRON L206WU eliminates these hassles, putting multiple monitors within every computer user's reach. If two screens are not sufficient, users can connect up to a total of six of these monitors simultaneously.
"The sector of LCD monitors is undergoing constant development and demand is increasing on multi-tasking products," said K. W. Kim, President and CEO of LG Electronics Middle East and Africa Regional Company. "We are keen to create and design products that suit consumers in design and technology. The new FLATRON L206WU with their USB connectivity feature can help users to increase efficiency and productivity."
In addition to USB, this highly advanced monitor also includes DVI-D, and D-Sub connectivity options, making it compatible with a wide range of computers and other devices such as DVD players. This connectivity makes it especially convenient for use with laptops. With this, the FLATRON L206WU can actually support up to eight multi-screens, including additional monitors through D-Sub and a laptop.
LG FLATRON L206WU is also an ideal solution for users looking to expand their workspace. Once it is plugged in via USB, the monitor automatically configures itself for optimal performance in the computer's operating system. There is no need for users to change any display settings. By default the monitor is set to act as an independent screen, capable of displaying separate content from the primary screen. This allows users to work on documents on the primary screen while doing internet research or other tasks on the FLATRON L206WU.
This monitor is also an excellent product for laptop users who want a larger interface while at their desks, as users do not have to change display settings when connecting and disconnecting - the monitor remembers settings and automatically adjusts accordingly.
LG's new LCD monitor features an innovative DFC 5,000:1 contrast ratio that delivers incredible black levels and excellent colour differentiation. Featuring a two milli-second response time, FLATRON L206WU helps even the most graphically intensive content remain crisp and clear without any ghosting effects. These technological features remain constant even when other monitors are connected, meaning improved display quality for multi-taskers.
Featuring ergonomic design, the FLATRON L206WU improves work efficiency by delivering comfort and flexibility to users. To ensure that the FLATRON L206WU can be aligned perfectly with the primary monitor, its height is adjustable from 35 mm to 140 mm. The screen can also be rotated from landscape mode to portrait mode for even more flexibility. Its narrow bezel and slim profile not only make this a great looking monitor but also help create a seamless workspace.
This Windows Vista certified monitor is available in 20-inch size at major electronic stores in the region and is priced at AED 1,299.
