PALO ALTO, Calif., Aug. 3, 2011 -- LG Electronics and DisplayLink today announced that the new LG U-Series Zero Client Network Monitor is enabled by DisplayLink USB virtual graphics connectivity enabling a simple, economical workgroup solution connected via USB, ideal for the educational institutions and small businesses. 

The new U-Series Network Monitor from LG enables ease of use through USB connectivity and further expands connectivity enabling users to daisy-chain up to three monitors together when running Windows MultiPoint Server operating system on a host, with each monitor acting as an independent workstation. Depending on the capacity of the host PC, up to 15 U-Series Zero Client Network Monitors can be networked on a single host PC. And it spreads across a physical radius of 15 meters from the host with multiple daisy chains.

Monitors acting as virtual PCs, can be positioned up to five meters, or 16-1/4 feet, from each other, to allow for optimum physical spacing. “With USB connectivity and virtual graphics from DisplayLink, the LG U-Series is more than a networkable monitor,” said Dennis Crespo, DisplayLink executive vice president of marketing and business development. “Each monitor, with USB linking it to the host PC, can become a virtual PC workstation.”

With enough capacity on the host PC, up to 15 LG U-Series Zero Client Network Monitors can function as network workstations.  The U-Series wide-screen LED screen measures 18.5 inches diagonally and each monitor is equipped with ports for a keyboard, mouse, audio and thumb drive plus an onward daisy chain connector enabling connection to the next U-Series Network Monitor in the chain. No thin-client device is needed, and the Zero Client Network Monitor delivers a significant cost advantage in hardware acquisition, low power consumption, and easy operation.

“LG has capitalized on DisplayLink technology to offer a complete zero-client solution without the traditional zero-client device,” said Si-hwan Park, vice president of the Monitor Division, LG Electronics Home Entertainment Company. "By connecting the LG U Series Network Monitor system to a single host PC, the host's processing power is virtualized on each monitor, creating an efficient networking solution with less hardware and lower maintenance costs."

With the U-Series Network Monitor and Windows MultiPoint Server 2011, LG customers can quickly install and quickly begin operating a very economical multi-user network. DisplayLink virtual graphics with USB 2.0 connectivity allows the host PC running Windows MultiPoint Server 2011 to drive the graphics on each workstation.  

LG U-Series Network Monitor will be available in worldwide in October 2011. Technical specifications and details of the U Series system can be at www.LGsolutions.com.
