Samsung unveils new webcam monitor for video conferences

Image Description

Korean electronics giant Samsung has released a 24-inch webcam monitor S4 (S40VA) that is designed to meet the needs of work-at-home folks as it comes with a built-in webcam, speakers and microphone.

The monitor is also built with flicker-free, low blue light features that cause less eyestrain even after long-term usage. 

With a 2.0-megapixel FHD camera and an infrared camera, the S4 is meant for virtual meetings. The pop-up camera comes out only when users press it down into the monitor. It gives users enhanced design look and security.

It is ergonomically designed

The webcam monitor S4 has a Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, and a 178-degree horizontal and vertical wide viewing angle and is said to deliver colour vividness and clarity.

Hyesung Ha, Senior Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics said, “we have designed this product with the new hybrid work environment in mind. Thanks to the webcam at the top of the screen, users can join a video conference, take an online class or attend a virtual event all from the same monitor.”

The S4 monitor is ‘Windows Hello’ certified, and users can log into or unlock their computer within as little as 2 seconds, Samusung said. The monitor comes with biometric sensors that can scan the user’s face, and there is no need for a password to get access to the system.

The monitor works as a USB hub too, and allows additional devices to be connected simultaneously. Samsung said the monitor is designed ergonomically and its Height Adjustable Stand (HAS), tilt, swivel, and pivot functionalities allow users to customise the monitor position.

It comes with built-in 2W dual stereo speakers and offers HDMI, DP, D-Sub and Audio out ports.

Samsung Webcam Monitor S4 is now available in the US, Europe, South Korea and South East Asia.

  • Windows Subsystem for Linux now supports USB devices

    The Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) compatibility layer on Windows 11 now supports several developer-oriented USB scenarios, enabling developers to use WSL to interact with devices connected via USB. 

    The WSL compatibility layer is designed for developers to enable them to use Linux binaries without leaving the comfort of their Windows workstations.

    Microsoft explains that the new USB functionality takes advantage of the USB/IP protocol to forward USB traffic over the virtual network interface between Windows and WSL. While the Linux kernel has supported USB/IP since 2009, several recent changes have made it easier to use it in WSL.

    Smoke and mirrors

    Explaining the development, Ben McMorran, Senior Software Engineer, in the C++ Team at Microsoft wrote that building tooling for Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code to support C++ embedded device development required them to connect devices over USB. 

    However, they couldn’t test their tools on WSL, since USB devices weren’t supported by WSL.

    “While this functionality is still not natively available in WSL, I’m excited to announce that our summer intern, Nelson Daniel Troncoso Aldas, contributed changes to the open-source usbipd-win project to enable common developer USB scenarios like flashing an Arduino or accessing a smartcard reader,” shared McMorran. 

    McMorran hasn’t said whether the existing solution can be extended to enable USB passthrough for general users. However, as McMorran notes, the ability to use USB devices via WSL is a highly requested feature, so it shouldn’t be long before the functionality lands in WSL.
