AOC announced today the release of their High-Def by Design 2218Ph computer monitor. Setting a new benchmark for combining design and the latest in HD performance, the 2218Ph monitor finally brings PC users the element of style Mac(R) users have enjoyed for the last few years, but with the twist of improved performance and HDMI capabilities.

State-of-the-art metallic workmanship, piano-black bezel, polished aluminum cabinet and zinc multi-flex stand make up some of the design specifications of the 2218Ph, all surrounding a glossy panel displaying vivid, bright and clear images.

“The 2218Ph brings PC power-users the design and performance they have always wanted from a monitor,” said Jerry Chou, Senior Manager of Business Development, IT, for AOC. “Every aspect of the 2218Ph takes consumers performance and style demands into account, from its zinc and aluminum build to the swivel design that provides flexibility in positioning the monitor on a desk or mounted on a wall. This monitor looks beautiful anywhere in the home or office…even if it’s not even turned on,” added Chou.

Running head-to-head with Apple(R) monitors of similar size, AOC’s 2218Ph out-performs its Mac(R) counterparts in virtually every category thanks to AOC’s 40 years of experience in display technology. For gamers who prefer to move away from the PC, the 2218Ph also includes HDMI input and an ultra-fast 2ms response time, allowing consumers to utilize it as an HDTV.

“Our 2218Ph is High-Def by Design in that we have taken into account every visual aspect of the monitor. Whether viewing a movie, photos or looking at the monitor from behind, any angle is eye catching and designed for today’s digital consumer,” said Chou.

The 2218Ph features an MSRP of $429.99. Full product specifications and comparison charts are available upon request.
