Video conferencing is becoming an increasingly important part of business communication in the poor economic climate around the world. In better years, companies would just fly employees to a conference to talk business, but now many use video instead.

Samsung has announced a new stand alone video conferencing LCD that is called the VC240. The device can also be used as a Pc display. The screen is 24-inches in size and it uses V2oIP for communications and is fully compatible with other VoIP systems.

The screen has a 5-megapixel camera with noise cancelling microphones. Special video and voice functions enhance communications and the contrast ratio is 1000:1 for reduced eye fatigue. Inputs include DVI-I and VGA and the LCD sells for $1,999.
