AOC Porsche Design monitors

AOC have today announced two new special monitor models through a collaboration with the world-famous design house Studio F. A. Porsche.

The two new Porsche Design AOC models are bound to bring some office appropriate sexiness.

The 24-inch AOC PDS241 and 27-inch AOC PDS271 feature a 3-sided frameless AH-IPS panel, an asymmetrical metal stand and an ultra-slim minimalistic premium design.

Both of the new monitors are going to be eye-catchers even when turned off.

Incorporated within the design is a unique cable-tidying solution.

Elegant design

The design is inspired by the philosophy of Ferdinand Alexander Porsche. His approach was: “If you analyse the function of an object, its form often becomes obvious.”

In its purest sense, a monitor is just a screen. But, in reality, this simplistic view is obscured by bulky stands and multiple cables hanging out the rear.

The new AOC PDS monitor series revolutionises the traditional approach to monitor design.

Both the 24-inch PDS241 and the 27-inch PDS271 will appeal to any style-conscious user such. In particular I could see business executives, designers, artists and galleries being quite taken by these.

At the front, the well-defined asymmetrical metal stand accentuates the 3-sided-frameless design.

Looking from the sides, the monitors are slimmer than the latest smartphones at just 5.2 mm thin.

The Studio F. A. Porsche designed monitors stand out from the crowd with their sleek appearance from the back – both the power and the monitor signal run through the stand and are divided in a separate box. The resulting clean look embodies what a monitor should be all about – the screen.

Wide colour gamut and viewing angles

It’s all well and good having monitors that look good switched off, but how do they perform when powered?

Thanks to their latest AH-IPS panels, both screens provide 1920×1080 pixel Full HD resolution. Viewing angles are equally fine at 178°.

AOC’s SuperColor WCG technology enables these monitors to cover 100% sRGB and 90% of the NTSC colour space.

Easy on the eye

Not only is the design easy on the eye, these monitors, both are equipped with AOC’s peeper-pleaseing Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free tech.

AOC Low Blue Light reduces harmful short wavelength blue light. AOC’s Flicker-Free technology regulates the monitor’s brightness with a DC (Direct Current) backlight system instead of PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), thus relieving eye discomfort and fatigue even during long periods of use.

An HDMI connector lets users connect everything from desktop and mobile PC’s to game consoles and set-top boxes. There’s also an audio output for headphones or speakers.

We’re very proud of the result of AOC’s collaboration with Studio F. A. Porsche. These new futuristic and elegant monitors from the PDS line make a bold statement about AOC’s dedication to delivering innovative products – both technology and design wise”
