DisplayLink and LG Further Expand Reach of Multi-Monitor Computing with New 22″ Display
DisplayLink and LG today announced the availability of a new 22 inch LCD USB monitor with integrated DisplayLink technology. This new addition to LG’s product portfolio, the LG Windows Vista compatible L226WU-PF, uses DisplayLink’s DL-160 network display device and software technology to enable up to six extra screens to be connected to any PC or laptop via a standard USB 2.0 connection. DisplayLink’s technology can also be found in LG’s 20″ FlatronWide L206WU model. The L226WU-PF will be marketed first in Europe.
