Toshiba today announced the 14-inch USB-powered Mobile LCD Monitor, ideal for adding an additional screen to any Windows-based laptop computer.

Featuring a 14-inch diagonal widescreen display with 1366x768 resolution, the Toshiba Mobile Monitor is equipped with the same LCD panel as a laptop. Weighing only 2.8 pounds and less than one inch thick, this monitor is designed to easily fit in most laptop bags. The monitor?s power and video are both through a single USB connection, eliminating the need to carry an AC adapter or video cable.

Via video over USB technology from DisplayLink, the Toshiba Mobile Monitor can also be used as an additional screen in extended mode.

The Mobile Monitor also includes a protective black vinyl carrying case, which folds into an adjustable stand that can be set to various viewing levels and also houses the monitor?s USB cable.

The Mobile Monitor is now available at toshibadirect.com as well as a variety of major consumer electronics and computer stores in the U.S. starting at $199.99 MSRP.
