Samsung will bring at CeBIT next month, the new SyncMaster 940UX, a 19-inch LCD monitor that dumps the DVI and VGA connectors and is going to be USB only. Why USB only? Because via USB is the easiest way to connect or disconnect your device, plug it in when you need it, or take it out when you don’t. Another reason is the multiple LCD monitors connected at the same time, which will not require multiple graphics cards for each one.

However there is a small debate on how will the graphic processing is going to be done and rumors say the CPU will take that job which brings more questions in the air. Will the computer have less performance when connecting two or three monitors, will it fail in those demanding applications? Samsung says no, and they claim three monitors for multimedia and five for less intensive working will not slow down your machine. These questions will be answered at CeBIT when we will know if the solution is to use an external USB video card or just let it go like that. Release date is set for May, to come with Windows XP drivers at first and followed by Vista after.
