Eyeing a bigger share pie in the global market amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics on Tuesday launched a new monitor suitable for video meetings as the company looks to expand its presence amid the pandemic-driven stay-at-home trend.
Samsung’s new monitor, S40VA, comes with a pop-up webcam and microphone on the top of its display. It allows consumers to use it only when needed, offering an enhanced design look and security.
The 24-inch monitor, which comes with an IPS display panel with a viewing angle of 178 degrees, is also installed with a built-in speaker. The new webcam monitor will be available in major markets in North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. In South Korea, the product will be sold at 380,000 won ($324).
