Prior to the upcoming CES, the Samsung Series 7 Smart Station and the Series 7 HDTV monitor have been introduced by the Korean manufacturer. The Smart Station, inspired by the Central Station from the company, can be used in conjunction with mobile devices, whereas the interestingly designed HDTV monitor has been deployed with WiDi technology.
Featuring an asymmetrical design, the Series 7 HDTV monitor can be tilted for a suitable viewing angle. Its MagicAngle feature further improves the picture quality pertaining to the viewer’s position. This HDTV is available in configurations of 24 inches and 27 inches. Not only does it let users connect devices via MHL, but it also supports Intel WiDi technology. Moreover, the display featuring a TV tuner, is deployed with Samsung Smart Hub that adds to the entertainment factor with applications like Netflix, Hulu Plus and more.
“The new Series 7 Smart Station and Series 7 HDTV monitor solve these problems by providing users with an easy way to reduce desktop connection clutter and combine the convenience of a laptop or mobile device with the traditional advantages of a desktop PC. In addition, the built-in HDTV and WiDi functionality of the Series 7 HDTV monitor streamlines devices into a single work-play option ideal for smaller spaces,†stated Todd Bouman, vice president of product marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division.
The Smart Station is also available in sizes of 24 inches and 27 inches. Besides working with an MHL-certified Android device, the display can be connected to a keyboard and a mouse. Its auto detection function can identify a laptop with wireless USB adapter within a range of 5 feet, while the Mobile Control feature facilitates multitasking by allowing functioning of both, a smartphone as well as a laptop, simultaneously. The single-hinge base of the monitor is embedded with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports along with an HDMI terminal for connections to a wide range of peripherals. The wide-angled display employs speakers as well as an audio output for tethering external speakers.
