to address this challenge directly by integrating a full docking station into the display to simplify modern workstations. Selected models including the 24E4CV, Q27E4CV, and CU34E4CW, feature USB-C connectivity with 90W Power Delivery, enabling laptops to charge, transfer high-speed data and video signals through a single cable. By consolidating power and data into the monitor, these USB-C solutions reduce hardware complexity and eliminate the need for external adapters. For professional-grade reliability, these docking models also include an integrated 1 Gbit/s RJ45 Ethernet port, ensuring a stable and secure wired network connection directly through the display. On the 34-inch ultrawide models, the AOC CU34E4CW and CU34E4CV, a built-in Smart KVM switch provides seamless multi-device functionality. This allows professionals to toggle between connected devices, such as a corporate laptop and a personal computer, while sharing a single monitor, keyboard and mouse setup at the press of a button. To ensure fluid performance across all professional tasks, every model in the E4 lineup delivers 120Hz refresh rate, providing smoother visuals and reducing motion strain during long working hours. Daisy chain sync Many workers now use two – or more – monitors to reduce window switching and improve efficiency, and the E4 series
has also been designed for this with daisy chain support allows easy pairing between two monitors via DisplayPort MST, enabling scalable and efficient multi- screen setups without desk clutter. By consolidating docking and connectivity directly into the primary monitor, these solutions streamline workflows while maintaining a clean desk environment. n
Editor’s view Employee wellbeing is – or should be – a priority for all SMB owners and managers. Monitors are key to this, which means solutions such as the E4 series are an ideal solution. The USB-C docking which can help to reduce desk clutter will always be welcome – many a desk is a Spaghetti Junction of wires, which isn’t not an ideal working situation. Finally, the five-year warranty should give buyers peace of mind that the monitors provide a long-term reliable solution. That it has been built with many nods to sustainability will also be appreciated in the race to achieve ESG goals. n
