Plus One LCD-8000U, the 8” Additional LCD Wonder: Hands-on

Category: Pc - Tags: Century, Intel, Lcd, Mac, Osx, Pc, Svga, Usb

This was supposed to be officially announced tomorrow, but Century apparently couldn’t wait. Earlier this week century came to our office to announce their latest and coolest 8” SVGA 800×600 external LCD.

Like its previous model (with a Mitsubishi LCD panel), this additional screen requires only a PC with a USB port to be used, and unlike its competitors it works flawlessly on both PC and Mac Intel devices.

If here the panel isn’t a Mitsubishi but rather from an average Taiwanese manufacturer, the mate LCD is pretty nice and and will provide full satisfaction. To be honest with you, I ordered one to stick next to my 24” DELL LCD.

It will be on sell at GeekStuff4U.com next week at the official Japanese price of 17,750 Yen.

At $190us it’s priced more than some current full-size LCD monitors. It may sell on novelty value but for REAL value the price will have to come down.

I must say I actually think they’re kinda pricey. Sure they’re all neat and nice, and i’d love to have a couple of those under my 17″ screens but for even lower that price I can get my hands on 19″ widescreens.

If they’re going through USB, do they eat a lot of the computer performance, Incase you get another 2 of them, The good news seems that you don’t need to buy more graphic cards atleast

Can it be rotated and used in portrait orientation?

I just checked the specs and only 32bit OS versions are supported, and no Linux unfortuantely:

Fortunately I only run Linux using VirtualBox under Vista.
