samsung lcd gets a mini-me monitor

This has got to be the oddest looking computer monitor I’ve seen in a while, but it’s a surprisingly good idea. The 22-inch Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX has a mini 7-inch display that snaps onto the edge of the screen providing just a little extra real-estate.

Samsung SyncMaster 2263DX Dual LCD Monitor

Designed for people like me who like to use applications with tons of palettes open (think anything from Adobe), the Kuato-like outgrowth lets you drag those extra windows and widgets out of the way of your primary workspace.

Now I know you could just buy a bigger monitor, but there’s something about getting those small windows out of the way that I find strangely appealing. The SyncMaster 2263DX should be available any day now for about $550.

    I went down the same route of thought on adding a rotated, 4:3 display to my ACD 30 setup. Great for little “side stuff.” Mine’s 20-inches tho, vs. the Samsung’s 7. :-)

    Nice setup Blake. I really could use an add-on screen for my palettes. Drives me bonkers to have to waste real estate for those (and my desktop widgets are constantly obscured by other windows too.)
