AOC has released a 22-inch HD display that gets its signal and power through a single USB 2.0 connection.
DisplayLink sounds like a proud papa, as it's currently announcing the availability of AOC's new 22-inch High Definition USB Powered Display, model e2251Fwu.
DisplayLink said on Wednesday that the new AOC monitor uses its USB 2.0 graphics and connectivity technology to enable both power and real-time video compression/decompression through a single USB connection while still supporting plug-and-play connectivity. This way, consumers don't need an additional power socket when creating a dual or multi-monitor setup with a desktop or laptop.
"It seems that all users—home and business— are now living in a world that demands multi-tasking, and as such, the need for multiple screens has risen exponentially," said John Cummins, VP of sales and marketing for DisplayLink. "AOC’s 22-inch High Definition USB Powered Display enables multiple monitors to be added to any desktop/notebook computer platform through the connection of a tidy and simple USB cable at an accessible price point."
The new 22-inch display's specs include a thickness of 10.6-mm, a 5ms response time, a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 (HD), and eco-friendly packaging. It's supported on all leading operating systems including Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 & Apple Mac OS X Tiger / Leopard and Lion. It even comes with a convenient detachable stand that allows it to be used with or without the base like a picture frame -- too bad there's no touch support.
Also available today is AOC's 16-inch portable version, model e1649Fwu. It too uses DisplayLink's USB 2.0 graphics and connectivity technology, but also features a built-in Smart Stand that pivots when needed, and offers 1366 x 786 resolution.
AOC’s 22-inch High-Definition Powered Display ($199), and the 16-inch Portable USB Monitor ($149), are available for purchase through the DisplayLink Shop and us.aoc.com, as well as major electronics retailers including Best Buy, HHGreg, Costco, Tiger Direct, Nebraska Furniture, ABC Warehouse and Electronics Express.
10W = +5V (USB Voltage) x 2A Current
USB 2.0 specification is 0.5A Current per port!!!
The article implies that you can turn this monitor
in any laptop. Old asus Eeepc and many others have a limit 0.6A per port.
I'm getting tired of clogging up my power strips with monitors.

LOL
who cares, who's going to bother with Windows 8 anyways.
1. You building your very first computer and have no OS to begin with
2. Your old monitor died and you're looking for a replacement. You can't use this as how can you install the monitor software in the first place?
Also the image shows a round port, clearly for the use of a external power adapter, Maybe that's optional?
As a caveat, i did some research on the max 10watts(which most laptops throw an error or shut down the port for anything that hits the .6a and up mark) and i just dont see how they could claim single usb operation if it always required 10. This is pure speculation, lacking the needed documentation, i would assume the optional power adapter peaks the display out at the full 10watts by increasing brightness. I guess i will see when it arrives.
The display would need to be using less than 2.5W, as most USB sockets provide for less than 500mAh on 5V, that would mean a screen that is not backlit, or backlit by a les than 1,5W background led.
That would not be a very bright image!

10 watts is only doable via 4 USB 2.0 ports(or the "optional power brick") Manual is not available but the 16" LCD manual shows a dual USB cable.
150cd/m2 is not something I would put in a spec sheet. Maybe readable with the lights off?
For those of you not living in the past:

Why not make the jump to USB 3.0? That could actually provide some decent bandwidth and power, making the product a much more attractive proposition (and a good use for those extra USB 3.0 ports).
