Samsung's Next PC Monitor Can Wirelessly Charge Phones

Electronics giant Samsung is preparing to release a PC monitor that can wirelessly charge its owner’s smartphone.

Known as the SE370, the 23.6-inch display comes with a charging dock attached to its stand (pictures below). Users can place their smartphone on the dock while using the monitor in order to automatically charge their phone batteries. Phones can still be operated during charge.

However, this feature can only be used by phones that support the Qi wireless charging standard. Existing smartphones equipped with the technology include the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the LG G3, but there are few others.

The SE370 displays at 1920 x 1080 resolution, and an enlarged 27-inch version will also be available. Samsung’s new monitor also supports AMD’s FreeSync technology, which synchronises screen refresh rates with the frame rate of a user’s AMD graphics card, in order to minimise latency.

Prices and release dates have yet to be confirmed. More images of the tech can be found below, along with a spec sheet.
