Sales of the Samsung Series 7 HDTV TB750 monitor will start in March ($599/464 Euro), but the company's exhibition at CES 2012 will include it (January 10-13). “In addition, the built-in HDTV and WiDi functionality of the Series 7 HDTV monitor streamlines devices into a single work-play option ideal for smaller spaces,” said Todd Bouman, vice president of product marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division. Samsung decided to toss in Picture-in-Picture, DLNA compatibility and keyboard/mouse sharing.Īll things considered, this is more of an all-in-one monitor/TV hybrid. What's more, buyers will find an integrated audio jack, two built-in 7W speakers, dual HDMI, VGA, wireless LAN, two USB 3.0 ports and one USB 2.0 port. Intel's WiDi technology (integrated wireless display) is featured as well.Īnother asset is the SmartHub function, which grants access to downloadable apps, Hulu Plus, Netflix, games, etc.įor those who want the precise specs, the HDTV monitor measures 27 inches and has a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, brightness of 300 cd/m2, response time of 5ms, contrast ratio of 1,000:1 and LED backlighting.
The WIDI software wont even install if you dont have a computer compatible.
Even a 13inch MacBook Pro 8.1 (Late 2011), has a compatible graphics Intel HD and i5 compatible processor, the wireless card MUST be a intel Centrino Wireless card listed. This is a technology that allows MHL-enabled tablets and smartphones to use it as an auxiliary display. To WIDI to work, you have to buy a new computer that supports it. Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) support is present, for one. Quite simply, the product has capabilities similar to a connection hub, even if not to the same extent as the Series 7 Smart Station launched alongside it.
It is only part of the whole truth, though, as the company tossed in some extra traits as well, the least of which is the asymmetrical stand design.
The name implies that this is a sort of merger between a PC monitor and a TV, which is true. The display, or one of them, that the company has officially launched is called Series 7 HDTV Monitor TB750. Samsung has many things prepared for this year's CES, a certain out-of-the-ordinary display being just one member of the crowd. LG Display announced today that it has developed the worlds first LCD panel for monitors featuring Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology in collaboration with Intel Corporation.
