D-Link Introduces "SideStage(TM)," a USB-Powered Monitor for Multi-Tasking PC Users

LAS VEGAS, NV, Jan 06 (MARKET WIRE) --
You've embraced interactive computing and your desktop proves it. All
sorts of cool widgets, gadgets and programs keep you informed in real
time. The problem is, you also need to get some work done.

D-Link, the end-to-end network solutions provider for consumers and
business, has made it easy to move your desktop to a side monitor, freeing
your main monitor for productivity with the introduction of the D-Link(R)
SideStage(TM).

The Fountain Valley, Calif.-based company is introducing the SideStage, a
7" monitor designed for multi-tasking computer users who prefer to have
their main screen for viewing Windows applications, and another smaller
screen for extending their desktop to display instant messaging, watch
videos, conduct video conferencing via webcams, display Yahoo(R)
Widgets(TM) and Microsoft(R) Gadgets(TM), or house common tools from
programs such as Adobe(R) PhotoShop(R).

The SideStage is a stylish and compact USB 2.0-powered monitor with a
7-inch liquid crystal display (LCD) screen featuring 800 by 480 resolution
with both landscape and portrait modes. Weighing only 1.34 pounds and
housed in a sleek black frame, it is 7 inches wide, 4.6 inches tall and
only 3/4-inch thick.

It will be on display this week at CES 09 in the South Hall Meeting Room
S218 of the Las Vegas Convention Center and by appointment at off-site
demo hotel suites.

"This latest addition to our family of digital home solutions is designed
to add productivity to PC users while providing a convenient and friendly
way to view smaller applications," according to Steven Joe, president and
CEO, D-Link Systems, Inc. "The SideStage solves the problem of needing a
bit more screen space, providing quick access to commonly accessed
applications hidden behind larger Windows on the desktop."

The SideStage is compatible with virtually all CRT and flat panel
monitors, has standard and wide screen aspect ratios, 32-bit True Color
depth for high-quality images and ultra low power consumption, consistent
with the D-Link Green(TM) initiative.

Price and Availability

Pricing for the SideStage will be announced when the product ships later
this year to D-Link's vast network of retail outlets.
