Check out my review of the Samsung LS27A600UUUXEN 27″ monitor with built in HUB (Ethernet and USB-C for Daisy chaining).

Samsung LS27A600UUUXEN

I recently bought a new monitor for my home office. It felt it was time for a upgrade of my 24″ HP Pavilion monitor. After a little research I went with a 27 inch Samsung LS27A600UUUXEN. On of the great thing about this monitor is that it has support for Daisy chain via Display Port. This means that I can connect 2 monitors in serial connection with a single display port cable. With this screen I can connect my laptop to the monitor with USB-C cable and use a second monitor without the need of a docking station, due to the build in Hub in the LS27A600UUUXEN monitor.

Going from 24-inch screen to 27-inch screen is something I should have done long time ago. It is a great upgrade.

Daisy chain via DisplayPort

One of the great things about this monitor is, that it has Display Port out. This gives the option for Daisy chain to a second screen having a Display port input. I use this when I connect my work Laptop. I can connect my laptop with a USB-C cable and use two external monitors, just connecting a single USB-C cable to my laptop. The laptop is even charging via the USB cable and use the wired Ethernet connection from the screen. I do not get any easier than that.

Trouble shooting Daisy Chain with DisplayPort Out

At first, I had a little issue getting Daisy Chain to work. I had connected the cables correct when it comes to Display Port Out from screen 1 to display port in on my second screen. This issue was that I needed to select DP-Out input source in the on-screen menu. In my case, I should select USB Type-C (MST) because I connect my laptop via USB-C. The DP-Out setting is found under system in the on-screen menu.
