Samsung 940UX monitor with UbiSync

Samsung is announcing what it claims to be the first LCD display with a USB video connection. The 940UX is a regular 1280×1024 pixels display that is capable of receiving display data via USB in addition of DVI and VGA. This has the main benefit of allowing non-DVI equipped computers to get a DVI-quality image. Upon connection, the display will be recognized as a USB device and the (embedded) drivers will be installed.

Not that the latency might be much higher compared to a DVI connection, so while this is probably OK for productivity tasks, graphics intensive ones might not be suitable for this display.
