Here comes a LCD monitor which has it all. Unlike other computer monitors, these 22″ LCD monitors by Samsung Electronics, a global leader in consumer electronics and digital technology, can make VOIP calls without need of PC.
These two 22″ monitors were launched by Samsung at IFA 2007. Quoting article at Samsung press
Samsung Electronics’ new SyncMaster 220TN monitor is embedded with simple networking modules, enabling users to go online and make video calls when connected to LAN cable even without a PC. As the monitor has a built-in camera, microphone and speaker, users can make conference and video calls by using software that comes installed, without buying additional equipment while they go online.
The other new monitor, SyncMaster 225UW, developed for more convenient VoIP calls, is optimized for Microsoft UC (Unified Communication) solution for total personal ID management. Moreover, the SyncMaster 225UW with built-in camera, microphone and speaker allows users to make video calls or to chat with traditional messenger systems such as MS Live Messenger and Skype.
Great integration of technology by samsung. With pre-installed softwares , microphone , webcam and speakers, you will never need to install anything from your own. So now going for a voice chat is a just a button away. Switch on your Samsung LCD monitor and get online. What do you feel about such integration? As far as I am concerned, its really a good innovative thinking by Samsung.
