Samsung has announced a Video and VoIP-enabled network monitor for the thin-client market at this year's CES show in Las Vegas. The SyncMaster 220TN display has a built-in web camera, microphone and speaker so that it is able to do web conferencing as well as make phone calls.

The 22-inch wide screen is well equipped. The camera is 2.0M pixel camera, the resolution is 1680 x 1050 (16:10 aspect ratio) and the response time it 5ms. The contrast ratio is 700:1 and brightness is 300cd/m2. The model is equipped to produce crisp, true-to-life images, while the wide 170/160 viewing angle further enhances the overall viewing experience, says Samsung.

The monitor also incorporates dual inputs for DVI-D and analog and is enabled to support multiple work applications. As a thin client solution, the device is a centrally-managed network computer so there is no hard-disk drive. Leveraging a thin client system, the monitor not only facilitates streamlined communication - it also facilitates increased security, since no application data resides in the actual model.

On account of its thin client capabilities, the 220TN is an ideal choice for applications that require secure deployment, such as airport kiosks, hotel lobbies and hospitals.

"In an increasingly globalised workforce, many professionals require a simplified, cost-effective, yet reliable, medium for communicating with co-workers and clients across the globe" said Young Bae, senior product marketing manager, display products.

"With the SyncMaster 220TN monitor, Samsung has delivered a streamlined, intuitive solution for enterprise customers that demand a seamless and secure communication experience, whether communicating across cubicles or across continents."

The SyncMaster 220TN monitor is priced at US$1249 MSRP.
