Samsung Electronics said the SE370, which has 23.6- and 27-inch variants, has an integrated wireless charging function for mobile devices.
“Technology should support, not interfere with, active lifestyles. Our customers increasingly rely on mobile devices to obtain information and interact with others; so by doing away with the clutter on their desks, we are helping them to use their mobile devices in a smarter way,” said Samsung senior vice president for visual display business Seok-gi Kim.
But the wireless charging functionality is "limited" to devices that use the leading Qi wireless charging standard.
Samsung said Qi, developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, is one of the most readily-available global interface standards.
The charger is a circular area integrated in the monitor’s stand.
"Users simply need to place their device on the stand’s charging area to initiate automatic charging, which is confirmed by an LED light," Samsung said.
It added the new monitor eliminates the hassle of having to buy and keep separate charging kits.
Other features include:
- AMD FreeSync technology to synchronize the screen refresh rate with the frame rate of a user’s AMD graphics card, to improve gaming and video playback.
- 4ms response time for clear and smooth tracking
- an economy function that reduces screen brightness for increased energy efficiency.
