"The 22-inch USB Monitor makes multi-screen computing more practical than ever with its plug-and-play setup, cord independence and low power consumption," said Robert Velez, Marketing Manager of AOC.

With the launch of the e2251Fwu, AOC continues its commitment to providing the latest in digital display technologies and innovative styling. The 22-inch USB Monitor is ultra-light and super slim, measuring only 10.6 mm thin. The LED-backlit LCD monitor offers excellent image quality for movies and gaming with Full HD 1080p resolution, 20,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 200cd/m2 brightness and 5ms response time. Thanks to the LED backlight, the e2251Fwu consumes 50 percent less energy than many CCFL backlit monitors. The monitor also features a removable stand that allows it to instantly transform into a digital photo frame or presentation display. Due to its minimal weight, the e2251Fwu can be moved around effortlessly, while the large display and wide viewing angles allow several viewers to see a great picture, making it a perfect tool for client meetings and business presentations.

Every AOC monitor is manufactured to meet the most stringent green standards. Along with being mercury free, the packaging for the eco-friendly 22-inch USB Monitor is made from recycled materials. In addition, AOC's industry-leading LED display technology allows for a powerful and crystal clear display while minimizing power consumption.

Enabled by a DisplayLink chip, the AOC 22-inch USB Monitor's technology easily integrates with existing desktop / notebook environments and is supported on all leading operating systems including Windows XP / Vista / Windows 7 & Apple MAC OSX Tiger / Leopard and Lion. Linux support is also available through many of the standard distributions.

Check that shit out 1080P 22 inch with 5ms response time and its not just a USB capable display, it runs on usb power. I mean we have seen some pretty impressive low power displays before so this is a given. But I think this takes it up a notch yeah? My LED 24 inch definitly uses more than a few watts, and a few watts being more than this thing would use if its for standard USB power.

Maybe the fucked up part is where that press release talks about the stand being removable for things like turning it into a photoframe. At 200 bucks not only is it not that much more expensive than some photoframes its kinda epic at 22 inches. Main issue is needing something to feed it the photos.
