Samsung announces USB display

We've seen displays with USB ports before and we've seen display signals get routed via USB before but we certainly haven't seen a lot of displays that accept video signals over USB. Always on the cutting edge, Samsung, Korea's premier manufacturer of LCD display panels, has announced the Syncmaster CX940UX: a 19" LCD display that needs only a USB cable to do its thing. What's more, it features a USB hub and allows you to daisy-chain up to six displays via USB. Surely, you must need some fancy graphics card with a USB output to utilize such a device, right? Wrong. According to Sammy, no special graphics card or drivers are needed to get this puppy up and running. No word yet on what performance is like, though I wouldn't be too optimistic until it turns up in person.
