Samsung LCD Gets a Mini-Me Monitor
January 6th, 2008
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.
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.)
I’m sitting here at 11 at night , engrossed in my son’s technabob..Oh, well, what’s a mother to do…..
Speak to you soon
