Samsung announces monitors with built in smartphone wireless charging

Samsung is big on wireless charging these days, having adopted both PMA and Qi standards with its Galaxy S6 smartphone. The company has now announced two new monitors, which feature a built-in wireless charging dock to power up your handset.

There are two models in the range, the 24-inch S24E370DL and 27-inch S27E370DS. Both feature Qi wireless charging ports at the base, so you can charge any smartphone which features this particular charging technology.

The two monitors have a resolution of 1920×1080, a wide viewing angle of 178 degrees, and a contrast ratio of 1000:1. The smaller 24-inch model has a peak brightness of 250 cd/m², while the larger monitor can reach as high as 300 cd/m². The ports on the back include one HDMI 1.4 connection, a Display Pot, and one D-Sub.

For the gamers out there, the S24E370DL and S27E370DS both come with AMD’s FreeSync technology. This aims to eliminate screen tearing when frame rates dip, by matching the monitor’s refresh rate to the output of your GPU. The displays also comes with a fast 4ms response time.

Samsung has not listeed any countries or dates for the release of its new monitors yet, but we might hear more at the upcoming IFA electronics show this September.
