LG introduced a new 20-inch LCD display which shares the ability to output video using solely a USB connection rather than requiring DVI or VGA output from a video card, the LG Flatron LX206WU. This technique, which allows up to six of these wide LCD displays to be linked to a system or laptop via USB, could find itself popular amongst consumers wishing to have more options for multiple displays. The Korean company also promises a higher-quality display than most with a 5,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio and a 2ms average pixel response time, though the company does not say whether the display can handle HD video or other advanced tasks through the USB connection.

USB support is believed to be initially available only for Windows. The Flattron LX206WU also supports DVI and VGA connections for any computer and should be available soon in its native country as well as other territories, though prices and launch dates are not part of of the initial announcement.
