First Impressions
When I received the phone call from UPS to meet the truck to pick up an item they had for me, I didn’t realize how small a monitor box could be for an LCD. In fact, I didn’t realize what I was going to be reviewing next when Bob asked me if I had access to a laptop. The cool feature I noticed right away that this particular Samsung LCD is that it has USB connectivity. I have always wanted to take a look at a monitor that had a USB connection.
The design of the LD190G is similar to the more recent models of LCDs that Samsung has out on the market. The nicely beveled, black piano finished bezel along with the hidden touch-sensitive buttons does add a hint of elegance to this particular model. You will notice right away that there is no stand that you attach the monitor to, it sits level on the surface you place it on. This is to keep it aligned with the screen of a laptop.
The backside of the monitor is where the connections are made. There is the typical AC power, analog monitor connector and then the USB connection.
The stand, which also acts as a simple cable path is fairly unique too, as it has a pair of rollers on the bottom. This is how the monitor tilts. You press down on the top of the monitor, the rollers roll and the monitor tilts upwards to match the angle of your laptop screen.
1360×768 certainly is a strange resolution.

Not a bad addition to use with a laptop.

I'd be afraid of bringing an extra screen anywhere. If you only use a laptop at home, just buy a new monitor.

Well, this model is more portable then desktop monitors which is the purpose of it.

what's the point of a portable monitor? not like you'd bring it anywhere
Yea, that is quite an uncommon resolution. But i guess it's okay, for the extra desktop space.
Dual display = more room to work with.

Agreed it's more room to work with, but a regular monitor just seems like a better choice over this

A regular monitor would be too bulky.
The only differenct i see between this monitor and a regular one is that it comes with a more stable stand..
Depends on the situation, in theory you could have a tri screen laptop with this setup, one screen on the laptop, one via VGA, and one via USB. Pretty neat IMO, and that style means that it lines up pretty well with the laptop screen to boot

In that case what is the point of a laptop?
You can put this screen inside your laptop case quite easily and all it needs is a power cord and a USB cord. Assuming you have a power outlet and a desk, you can bring this out anywhere to get a second screen.
It's designed to fit and tilt alongside a laptop screen unlike desktop monitors which will sit a few inches above the laptop screen and might not tilt to the same angle.
Poor review, you haven't said anything about how quickly it updates the screen or if there is any lag from the USB connection.
What about connecting using USB 1? Can you do this?
And what about watching video, can it handle High Def video?
Did you even use this for more than 5 minutes before reviewing it?
Thank you this nice post
In this kind of laptop, it's really need for a good power distribution for it to be working as fine as possible.
