Samsung’s LD220G is a unique monitor. It uses Samsung’s UbiSync to connect a computer to it by USB, making the LapLift a transportable LCD, secondary display for laptops. At $240, the LapLift is affordable enough for frequent laptop warriors who would like multiple display set-ups.


Sadly, the LapLift lacks color and contrast adjustability; only brightness can be controlled, and the USB input method adds unacceptable input lag for games, although the VGA input is reportedly fine. I think that this is a good idea, but one of the problems with the LD220G is that it is too large. At its size, buyers are better off with a full-size desktop LCD since few people will want to move the 21.5″ and 10.4 pound frame often. If Samsung can introduce a smaller model with image quality clearly superior to laptop LCDs, then I would be onboard.
