Regardless of technical prowess, or the lack of it, this entire sector is ergonomically flawed. Putting a screen at a low level to match the poor ergonomics of a laptop screen when on a desk simply doubles the potential for neck and back strain. Do yourself a favour and get a decent 'normal' monitor with an adjustable stand rather than this ill conceived, marketing driven 'design'.

@ShaunB:

I completely agree. Then again, the ergonomics of most cheap regular/'normal' monitors are bad enough - the way the market seems to be at the moment, you need to go premium to get such BASICS as decent height adjustment, not to mention luxuries such as swivel or pivot.

Did the D190S LapFit ever come to the market? I looked everywhere but can't find it anywhere?

Not with that model name, though this {http://www.dabs.com/products/samsung-19--ld190-5ms-lapfit-lcd-tft-5JY2.html} "LD190 LapFit" seems to be very similar.

@Ardjuna:

Ah yes cheers for that. There is also a 22" version http://www.dabs.com/products/samsung-22--ld220-5ms-usb-lapfit-lcd-tft-5JY1.html?q=lapfit

I'm already using a dual screen setup (outputing via VGA) on my laptop. Am I right to assume I can add a 3rd screen vis USB with this?

@GT:

Correct, with the LD 220 and it's USB connection (which I use on my desk), you can easily add a 3rd or more displays to your setup. An added bonus that isn't often mentioned is that it has a USB hub built in, so you can connect your keyboard and mouse to it while minimizing cable clutter!

It might be compact, frugal and available in a range of colours, but the LG Flatron W2230S is let down by its lack of digital connectivity and poor image quality, made less palatable by a price that puts it into the same league as far superior 'traditional' monitors.
