Samsung Electronics has come up with a new spin on the PC monitor - make it a Skype
phone. The two latest SyncMaster's come all ready for video
conferencing with not only a built-in camera, but microphone and
speaker making the deployment of desktop conferencing that much easier
and neater.
Announced at IFA 2007 in Berlin the two 22" LCD monitors have simple
networking modules embedded in them which enable the advanced functionality. The SyncMaster 220TN displays
are smart enough, in fact, to operate as video phones without being
connected to a personal computer - so long as they are connected to a
LAN. The necessary software for video conferencing and video calls is
preinstalled into the display.
The
other new monitor, SyncMaster 225UW, is designed and optimized for
Microsoft UC (Unified Communication)and uses its built-in camera,
microphone and speaker
to make video calls or to chat with traditional messenger
systems such as MS Live Messenger and Skype.
Both
monitors support high resolution of 1680x1050 and have USB hub
functions with four USB ports and two, respectively.
Yun Ho Ha, Senior
Vice President of Samsung's Visual Display Division said, "These
monitors with VoIP functions unveiled at this IFA exhibition will
become a must-have item for individual users and enterprises in the
global era."
