Samsung's new screen that clamps to your desk is incredibly simple, but it's the best thing to happen to computer monitors in years

Samsung's Space Monitor is designed to clamp on to your desk, eliminating the need for a traditional stand that takes up space.

It's designed to let you use the desk space that would usually be taken up by a traditional monitor stand.

Samsung's example here is a little embellished, where the desk with the traditional monitor stand is incredibly messy while the desk with the Space Monitor is spotlessly clean. If your desk is typically messy, the Space Monitor might simply give you more space for more stuff to clutter your desk.

You can position Samsung's Space Monitor against the wall, hovering in the air, or flush against your desk.

To keep the aesthetic clean, you can tuck away the monitor cables through the cable channels that run down the monitor's arm.

Its bezels are incredibly thin.

The Space Monitors cost between $400 and $500, and can be pre-ordered now with a released date of February 23.

The 27-inch model with QHD resolution costs $400, and the 32-inch model with 4K resolution goes for $500.

If you like your current monitor, you can always get a separate monitor clamping arm like I did.

If you'd rather keep your current monitor, there are several clamping monitor arms that can easily do the same thing as Samsung's all-in-one Space Monitor. And certain clamping monitors arms have more flexibility and dexterity, too.
