LG shows its wireless network multi-monitor system

DISPLAY MAKER LG Electronics is showing off its multi-monitor system that it claims can support as many as 31 networked monitors.

Users of the LG N+ Series can control the LCD monitors from a central location, which LG said can save a lot of space and computing resources in, for example, an education or conference facility.

After being on display at ISE (Integrated Systems Europe), an audio-visual and electronics equipment show, the N+ series will be available in the second half of the year. LG said that the wireless system would be easier to set up, and removed the need to install any extra connection points in a location, while still giving a room full of people the experience of having a PC all to themselves.

"Those in the commercial training, hospitality and education sectors especially will immediately recognise the benefits of a wireless multi-monitor solution. Wired solutions can prove challenging in certain physical set-ups, situations or environments. Not only are they unsightly and messy, they can also prove hazardous and limit the positioning and placement of monitors. LG's wireless solution delivers the same excellent picture quality, reliability and ease of use, without the issues that can sometimes come with a wired product," said Luc Grare, director of business solutions for Europe at LG Electronics.

Monitoring tools will let administrators control processing power and maximise bandwidth use, while the single PC unit will let firms dramatically cut their energy costs.

The monitors offer USB connections for keyboard and mouse only and render images with a 5ms response rate. LG added that they were designed for straightforward management.

Dumb terminals, in other words. µ
