AOC (http://us.aoc.com) has announced the retail availability of the i2757fh, a 27-inch IPS display with a 2 mm bezel that gives the monitor a borderless appearance. It's Mac compatible and is available at a special price of USS$299.99 for a limited time.

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, according to AOC Marketing Manager Chris Brown. It sports 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 i2757fh is made of eco-friendly materials such as arsenic-free glass and mercury-free panels, says Crown. Also, the LED backlight panel requires 50% 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 boasts a 5 ms response time. Its 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 a VGA cable. The monitor also includes built-in speakers.
