We can’t help but be impressed with the latest line-up of technological products on display at the Samsung IT Roadshow held last July 19 at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza. I’ve always had this idea that the futuristic office is designed along ultra-sleek lines, is completely devoid of irksome wires or cables and is populated by machines that can only be described as Space Age high-tech. I didn’t expect to witness it so soon at the roadshow where impeccably-dressed beautiful ladies in white led our group from one gallery to the next while marveling at how fast, efficient and multi-tasking the new machines are. Technology indeed changes at an astonishing speed and we can just wonder what amazing innovations from Samsung await us next year. In the meantime, here’s a preview of some stand-out discoveries in this year’s IT Roadshow:
MagicNet is a software which enables users to display and control content to multiple monitors on a remote network using a single computer, as in the case of commercial electronic billboards in malls, airports and other commercial locations. MagicNet runs on Windows XP and is capable of beaming high resolution images in portrait or landscape modes. It is compatible with Samsung’s Sync Mastermagic 711ND Monitor. With the use of a USB keyboard connected to this monitor, users will be able to access content from remote servers.
SyncMaster 971P Premium LCD Monitor has a highly-ergonomic design that allows for 180 degree rotation and 65-degree back and front tilting on an asymmetrical stand. Images are vividly displayed on a 19-inch screen with 1500:1 contrast ratio.All cables are neatly hidden from view and a USB 2.0 port enables easy connection with various AV devices.
SyncMaster 215TW is a 21-inch widescreen monitor equipped with the auto pivot feature, built-in premium speakers and multi-screenfunctions (Picture in Picture/ Picture by Picture) which displays two sources of input at the same time.
SyncMaster 940MG has an integrated TV tuner to enable one to watch TV on the 19-inch LCD monitor while working. Rounding off the entertainment features are the high-quality multimedia speakers with Dolby Virtual Sound and Samsung’s own patented MagicClear Technology.
CLP 300 is the world’s smallest and lightest color laser printer at just 13.6 kgs. It boasts of a print speed of four pages per minute (ppm) for color and 16 ppm for black and white while maintaining ultra-quiet printing with Samsung’s patented Non-Orbiting Noiseless Optic Imaging System (NO-NOIS) technology.

With this, just scan, type in the email-address using the email keypad in the printer and send without need for a PC. On the other hand, with the SCX-5530FN’s Scan to USB function, images can be scanned, then saved directly to a standard USB plug-in memory device.
