Looks like there is now more reason for your computer or notebook to have even more USB ports – LG has just released the FlatronWide L206W 20″ widescreen monitor that hooks up via USB, thanks to DisplayLink’s DL-160 chip inside that receives a stream of information from a virtual graphics card that runs on the host computer. What’s more, there is an integrated USB hub in the monitor itself that lets you connect up to 3 other monitors should you fancy a really wide display. Will gamers suffer as the intense graphics of today’s games need to be reconstructed yet again before being sent over via USB, or will the difference (if any) be hardly noticeable?
