Hardware, Embedded Systems "Although USB connectors in monitors appeared many years ago, they have performed only secondary functions all this time. However, now Samsung offers an LCD monitor that is connected to the PC via the USB bus and can work without a graphics card."

If the monitor is connected to the PC via standard USB, it does mean that the "video card" is integrated to the monitor. Otherwise, the "video card" must be all software (good-bye hardware acceleration).

Seriously, think about it. In the former case, it means that if one wants to get better performance, one needs to get a new monitor. That's the craziest idea ever.


I think the benefits of this are more for IT technitions to use on clients PCs or in server rooms (etc) than home gaming.
