AOC Announces Borderless 27" IPS Monitor; Now Available at Retailers Nationwide
AOC's ultra-slim i2757fh HD monitor features a borderless appearance ideal for multiple monitor setups
Fremont, Calif. – October 2, 2012 – AOC, the leader in monitor display technology, announces the retail availability of the i2757fh, a 27-inch IPS display with a 2 mm bezel that gives the monitor a sleek, borderless appearance. The monitor's widescreen IPS (in plane switching) panel also allows for more consistent, uniform color from all viewing angles, delivering amazingly sharp image quality. An iF Product Design Award winner, the monitor delivers uncompromising display technology coupled with an artistic design that features a metallic hook-shaped stand that allows for three different modes of viewing – as a photo frame without a base, as a standard function stand, and as a height-adjustable stand that detaches with the push of a button. The AOC 27-inch IPS Monitor is now available for $349 MSRP. AOC also offers the i2757fh at Bestbuy.com and the retailer's top 250 stores for a special price of $299.99.
"The i2757fh model, part of AOC's 57 Series, combines an anti-glare IPS screen with a narrow bezel so that images seem to float without a distracting frame," said Chris Brown, AOC Marketing Manager. "The monitor's IPS technology and award-winning design deliver an unparalleled display experience to consumers."
Designed to meet high environmental and technical standards, the i2757fh is made of eco-friendly materials such as arsenic-free glass and mercury-free panels. Also, the LED backlight panel requires 50 percent less energy than typical CCFL monitors. The i2757fh can display 16.7 million colors, while its 50,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio provides accurate color reproduction when displaying images with extreme differences between light and dark. The monitor also features ultrafast performance with a 5 ms response time, which allows pixels to change colors quickly to avoid streaking, blurring and ghosting in fast-moving scenes and video games. The monitor's dual HDMI ports support the latest DVD and Blu-ray players or gaming consoles, and it can also be connected to desktops or notebooks via VGA cable. Direct insert connectors face the rear, making it easier to connect the monitor to power and input sources.
The monitor also includes built-in speakers for optimal desktop sound, and the multifunctional, detachable stand allowing for standard monitor or "photo frame" placement. Other bonus features include an Off Timer that shuts down the monitor automatically if desired, Screen+ software that divides the screen into four self-contained work areas for improved productivity, and Eco Mode, which enables the user to select five different optimized display settings (Text, Internet, Game, Movie and Sport).

How do they figure it's borderless ? I can see at least a 1/2 black border all the way around the screen, with the exception of the bottom lol

monitor looks cool.. but I feel when you get into that size range you should have better resolution..

Better resolution equals a bigger price tag. $300 for a nice 27" isn't bad. That's what I paid for my Samsung it is great. Paid even less for my Asus 27" and it's nearly as nice as the Samsung. Good thing about the Asus monitor is all the connectivity options. Wish I had two more for triple monitor set up.

I'm goin' for sony's new 84" 4K LED TV XD Anyone want to donate to the cause?

Don't get me wrong, it's a great looking monitor, and two of them on a single stand would look really great. but I just don't see their claim to borderless when there's what looks like a 1/2 border on top and both sides.

Which model Asus? Do they do portrait and lanscape? I will be looking for 2 after I can scrape together funds to finish my build. But would like a model that can possibly to portrait, not a deal breaker, but would be nice.

I have an ASUS 27" too, and I also wish that I had a few more of them. It's a great screen for the money I paid for it.

It's glass, edge to edge. That's what they mean.
I'd like to see them with no bezel at all too.
Until then, This is what I want.

Now you are really testing my memory. Let me look at the box because I forget the model number. Do remember it was only $259 plus tax on sale at Frys. Model number VE278Q. This one: FRYS.com*|*ASUS. Not on sale anymore. It's cheaper at Newegg now and free shipping: Newegg.com - ASUS VE278Q Black 27" 1920x1080 2ms Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor w/Speakers 300 cd/m2 ASCR 10,000,000:1

The stand doesn't rotate for portrait view but it does have VESA mounting holes on the back so you could easily mount two or three of these on a multi monitor stand that permits portrait view.

wow Neil that's a crazy monitor

Thanks Sam.

Welcome.

I'm kind of torn now. I was thinking about one or 2 of those giant Korean displays. But for the photo and video work I plan on doing with the new machine, can't say I have ever gamed much on PC, a couple of these or Sam's Asus may be the way. A bit cheaper than 2 Korean units. Right now my only other display is a 23, I guess a 27 for the working file and the 23 for all bins and tools would work in the interim.

That bezel is pretty thick. I'd love a much smaller bezel, until that comes along I am not all that interested in multi monitor.
