With screen fatigue at an all-time high, the prospect of a smart home with even more screens might sound counterintuitive – but I think Samsung is onto something with its new 'screens everywhere' approach to smart appliances. During its global launch event on 3 April, Samsung demonstrated a host of new smart appliances, including some featuring a new seven-inch LCD AI screen to "realize the idea of screens everywhere". At first, I was slightly incredulous; as someone who’s struggled with phone addiction and spends most of their time looking at screens, I’m not particularly thrilled with the idea of my home being filled with even more of them. As I walked around the demo room and spoke with Samsung’s representatives, however, I started to come around to the idea – here’s why. Hands-free at home Our phones, our tablets, and now even our watches have become a lifeline to the outside world, our primary source of entertainment, and our oracle of information. More than just a way to help us navigate the outside world, over the past fifteen years they’ve become a mainstay of how we operate at home, too. So how are built-in appliance displays going to shift this dynamic? Samsung’s in-appliance screens can show your home’s floor map and connected devices, as well as providing useful information about appliances and even energy usage. Larger displays like the Family Hub used in some of Samsung’s fridges also include entertainment services, recipe books, and family planners, and can even offer the ability to easily share content directly from compatible phones. I spoke with Tanya Weller, Marketing Director for Samsung Home Appliances in the UK, to find out her take on why displays are a huge part of Samsung’s home strategy. “By creating little hubs in other places, can be freer in your home, and access information anywhere. It’s also just more of a shared experience,” she explains. “It’s also about ease of use; if you’re walking around the kitchen, you don’t want to have your phone in your hand the whole time. Hopefully, you’d leave it on the side.” While Weller says a hands-free home experience wasn’t the goal of Samsung’s screens everywhere approach, which focuses more on convenience, efficiency, and information, she sees it as a natural and positive byproduct. “I do think reduced small screen time is a good idea. Thinking about my personal life, it’s crazy; I’m asking my son not to use his phone and go on his Xbox instead because at least he’s talking to people there,” she remarks with a laugh. “It sounds awful, but I think we’ve got to an era now where screens are a massive part of our lives.” (Image credit: Future) Screens are inevitable It took until I got home from my trip to Paris for Samsung’s Bespoke AI event for me to register how that experience could work. With bundles of laundry in my arms, I staggered through my flat while also trying to text my mom to let her know I’d arrived home safely while also turning on my lights. With one of Samsung’s smart washing machines, I could not only use Bixby to open the appliance’s door for me, but also control my smart home, communicate with my loved ones, and multitask much more efficiently and without my phone in hand. While gadgets like the Rabbit R1 and the Humane AI pin promise a less screen-filled mobile device market, other device types are starting to become increasingly display-led, and it’s a trend I doubt we’ll buck any time soon. In Samsung’s case, I can begin to see the justification for more screens in appliances; there’s useful information they can display, it’s easier to walk around at home without being glued to your phone, and it eradicates the need for costly single-purpose devices like the best smart displays. Plus, given Samsung’s wider approach to boosting Bixby with Generative AI and what seems to be a move to improve the SmartThings experience while negating the need for purpose-built smart speakers and displays, it looks like the “screens everywhere” approach is here to stay.

Philips is expanding its E1 series of business monitors with the addition of three new models designed to cater to the needs of professionals and remote workers. The high-end Philips 27E1N1600AE comes with HDMI 1.4 and USB-C 3.2 connectivity with 65W Power Delivery. The 27-inch IPS panel offers QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution and HDR. The model also comes with a 100mm height-adjustable stand. The other two screens, 24E1N1100A and 27E1N1100A, come with FHD IPS panels, measuring 23.8 inches and 27 inches respectively, and feature a frameless design with narrow borders. VGA port for older computers Philips says these screens are ideal for multi-monitor setups and include a cable management system for a tidy workspace. They both come with HDMI 1.4 ports and in place of the 27E1N1600AE's USB-C 3.2 there's a VGA port on both models. The IPS panels promise vivid colors, and a 100Hz refresh rate with 1ms MPRT and Adaptive-Sync. They also include SmartImage Game Modes for ‘light’ gaming. There are built-in 2W stereo speakers, and the monitors also feature LowBlue Mode and Flicker-free for comfortable viewing and EasyRead for a paper-like reading experience. The Philips 24E1N1100A, 27E1N1100A, and 27E1N1600AE are available to buy from UK retailers now. The Philips 24E1N1100A and 27E1N1100A retail at an affordable £94.99/€119 and £109.99/€139 respectively. The Philips 27E1N1600AE, with its QHD display, will set you back £199.99/€249, but you'll want to shop around to see if you can pick it up for cheaper as there are better models from other makers available for that price.

A good PC monitor is like a good pair of glasses – until you try it, you don’t realise how much you need it. That’s equally true whether you’re creating presentations for college or the board, fragging enemies across alien worlds, browsing online shopping sites, or streaming the latest blockbuster in 4K. Whatever your need, Dell and its subsidiary Alienware have plenty of monitors that will suit you. Ahead of the curve (Image credit: Dell) Both Dell and Alienware make curved monitors, to keep you immersed in whatever you’re doing. The curved design gives it a wraparound feel, which is helped by the 21:9 aspect ratio, making it wider and less tall than the traditional 16:9. Get lost in imaginary worlds, zero in on the financial details, lap up every pixel of your holiday photos – it’s all made easier by the curved design. Dell’s curved monitors are available in a range of sizes, including the Dell 34-inch curved USB-C monitor. Easy on the eye (Image credit: Dell) Some monitors dial the image processing up to 11 and let the user deal with the fallout. It’s an assault on the senses. While Dell monitors have the most advanced image quality technologies, they present the picture in a way that’s easier on the eye, creating a more natural, lifelike viewing experience that in turn is more immersive and engrossing. High contrast ratios create a greater difference between the light and dark parts of the picture, with more subtleties in between. This creates an image with more depth, making it appear more realistic. Some Dell monitors feature ComfortView Plus, which reduces blue light emissions while still delivering excellent colour. Because the mode is always on, you don’t have to do a thing, just sit back and enjoy the stellar picture quality. You can tilt and adjust the height of Dell monitors too, positioning them perfectly for your setup. So it’s goodbye to aches and strains. Seamless switching (Image credit: Dell) Most people know you can connect an external monitor to your desktop or laptop to use two screens at once, but did you know you can connect two PCs to a single monitor? Dell monitors – like the Dell 27 4K USB-C monitor – support Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM), Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture (PBP), meaning a single keyboard and mouse can switch between connected PCs, letting you flit between them without any unplugging or plugging in required. Double the fun. Dell Easy Arrange lets you organise multiple applications on your desktop and snap them into a template quickly and easily, keeping everything organised. And with multiple HDMI ports alongside USB-C, you can hook up a laptop, games console and streaming stick all at once. Dell Gaming monitors have ridiculously fast response times, giving you a competitive advantage. And with AMD FreeSync meaning no screen tearing or stuttering for buttery smooth gameplay, no lag, and sky high refresh rates, you’d be a fool to use anything else. Game on (Image credit: Alienware) If gaming is your priority, an Alienware monitor from Dell’s offshoot brand will fit the bill. For example, the Alienware 27 Gaming Monitor can be customised to meet your needs. The size can be adjusted to 25, 32 or 34 inches (as well as the 27-inch model), and you can pick from either high-definition or ultra high-definition resolutions. It comes with a QD-OLED panel, Fast IPS or Fast IPS Nano Colour, and you get a choice of three refresh rates: 165Hz, 240Hz or 360Hz. It all makes for smooth, consistent performance, ultra low latency and crystal clear graphics. It’s a joy to behold too, with the Legend 2.0 design in Lunar Light seamlessly integrating into any gamer’s battle station. You also get 360-degree ventilation, the AlienFX lighting signature, improved cable management, and a fully adjustable stand and height adjustment for those long weekend sessions. There’s even an innovative hanger that extends from the side, so you can hang up your headset when not in use. Gamers, students, professionals, and casual web users will all find something to like in the portfolio of Dell displays. And with a huge range of price points, specs and features available, it really does offer something for everyone. View the full article

The AW3821DW is one of the best display monitors when it comes to gaming especially, further it can also be used for watching movies or doing routine work as well. So, if you are looking for a good multipurpose display monitor then you should consider AW3821DW as one of your options. Further to get an idea if it is the right choice for you then read this guide as I have reviewed AW3821DW in detail and explained some of its quirks and features. BUY NOW Specifications of AW3821DW Display Monitor Before going to the review first let’s have a look on the major specifications of the Dell AW3821DW display monitor to get an over review: Type of Display: LED-backlit LCD monitor or TFT active-matrix curved display Resolution: 3840×1600 and refresh rate of 144Hz on display port and 85Hz on HDMI port Aspect Ratio: 21:9 Contrast Ratio: 1000:1 Viewing Angle (Horizontal and Vertical): 178 Degrees Connectivity One 1.4 display port Two HDMI ports One USB 3.2 Gen 1 upstream port Three USB 3.2 Gen 1 downstream port One USB 3.2 Gen 1 downstream port with Battery Charging 1.2 Headphone jack Audio line-out port Power Consumption: 46.35 W Reviewing the AW3821DW Display Monitor To analyze any display monitor to see if it can hold up well and is a right choice for you all you need to check it in on the basis of the given parameters. So, let us see how the Alienware AW3821DW holds up when analyzed on the basis of the given parameters: Image quality and performance Design and other features Image Quality and Performance We always have heard that the bigger the display the better the display quality and the Dell 38 inches curved display monitor proves it. Moreover, the AW3821DW comes with a resolution of 3840×1600 which is enough if you want to play high-end games as due to its big size you can even see the minor details in the game. Similarly, to avoid any screen tearing and stuttering experience this display monitor comes with a G-Sync module by giving a variable refresh rate. The display monitor shifts to the HDR mode when an HDR 10 signal is applied, though the standard mode also works fine and HDR performance is quite impressive. However, since it is an edge backlight monitor, the HDR image is not that improved as it should be as in the zone dimming screen. The 144Hz refresh rate of AW3821DW delivers very smooth graphics and has a very quick response time that contributes to a very low input lag. However, this display monitor is kind of not suited for a dark room as its contrast ratio is low and doesn’t have black uniformity that makes black appear as gray. Alienware AW3821DW has VESA DisplayHDR 600 certification but still its HDR is not very good due its number of edge-lit dimming zones. Design and other Features The first impressions of the Alienware AW3821DW are good as it has a curved design and the light on the back of its premium build stand that gives it an attractive look. It is quite bulky so you need to have a solid space on your desk to keep it, similarly at the back of the screen there is a Alienware logo that has a light in it which looks cool. Moreover, the stand comes with the height, tilt and swivel adjustments, you can adjust the height up to 5.1 inches which is impressive. To give you a comfortable experience you can tilt the monitor at an angle of -5 or +21, Similarly the swivel angle adjustment can be made up to 40 degrees. To make adjustments to the display there is an on screen display menu which includes the adjustments related to audio, video, lighting and some other stuff. Final Thoughts on Alienware AW3821DW There are always some positives and negatives of every display monitor and these have major contributions in deciding whether it is a best choice for you or not. So, below are some of the positives and negatives about Alienware AW3821DW: Positives Impressive response time High resolution Impressive refresh rate Good build quality Great gaming experience Negatives Lower contrast ratio Display reflection handling is average BUY NOW Conclusion The Alienware AW3821DW is a good option if you want to use it for both gaming and work purposes. It is a very high resolution display with an excellent response rate. Though there are some downsides, the positives outweigh so having an AW3821DW as a display monitor can be a good choice.

In today’s fast-paced world, multitasking has become a norm in everyday work scenarios. Creative professionals, for example, have multiple windows and tabs open at the same time. Editing can be confusing and frustrating if there is a constant need to switch from one window to another. Additionally, editing in a small screen can cause discomfort to the eyes. Dual monitor setup has provided relief to these dilemmas, but there are downsides to it. The setup requires more space and cables, and in cases where the monitors are not identical, there is inconsistency in screen resolution, size, and display colors. In addition, dual monitor setup will always have a bezel gap, the annoying space between two monitors, which can cause visual inconvenience, especially for designers. Ultrawide monitors are a better alternative to this setup. An ultrawide monitor can do everything that a dual monitor setup can but on a single, wider screen. It has 33% more horizontal screen real estate than the standard monitor and a higher aspect ratio of 21:9 as compared to 16:9 of standard monitors. A 21:9 aspect ratio is similar to the ratio of movie theater screens; thus, it can provide users with a more cinematic feel. Additionally, it has a higher screen resolution of 2560 x 1080 or 3440 x 1440 depending on the screen size. There are two types of ultrawide monitors dominating the display market today, curved and flat. Scroll down to know the benefits of each monitor type before deciding which one is the better fit for you. Flat Ultrawide Monitor Flat monitors have been around for ages, and there’s a wide array of sizes available. Ultrawide flat monitors have drawn the interest of many, especially gamers and professionals, because their wide screens provide striking and precise images. The emergence of curved ultrawide monitors, however, is slowly breaking the status quo and many are wondering whether this will put an end to its flat counterpart. Fans of flat monitors don’t need to worry; flats still have advantages over the curves. Mount-friendly. Flat monitors look better when mounted on the wall since they are flush with the adjacent wall. They are also easier to mount because unlike curved monitors, they don’t require special mounts and positioning for optimum viewing. Lesser glare. Flat screens have lesser glare because the light is projected at a single, uniform angle. Curved monitors, on the other hand, catch light from all angles resulting in uncomfortable distortion and blinding glares. Accommodates more viewers. Curved screens offer better viewing experience from an optimal angle, and normally, only a single viewer will benefit from this. Furthermore, the viewer has to sit directly in the center of the display for a full visual experience. This means that in a meeting room with numerous viewers, not all will have a good view. Flat screens have more advantage in this aspect because all viewers will have the same view of what’s on display. Less expensive. Flat monitors are generally cheaper than curved monitors. This is beneficial to customers who are practical and are content with the visual appeal that flat monitors offer. Curved Ultrawide Monitor The curved monitor is relatively new and is distinguished by its pronounced, sleek curve. The curve is designed to wrap around the viewer’s vision for a more realistic viewing experience. The intended effects are especially noticeable in ultrawide curved monitors because the effects tend to diminish when the size gets smaller. Curved monitors overcome the challenges of flat monitors and come with a great many benefits. More immersive. Curved monitors use ocular perception technology, put, it mimics the natural field of view of human eyes. Expanding to peripheral vision, the images appear larger resulting in a more realistic and immersive visual experience. Comfortable for the eyes. On a flat monitor, the eyes have to keep on refocusing when scanning the screen since the information at the edges is farther from the eyes than at the center resulting in more ocular exertion. Because curved screens mimic the eyes’ field of view, there is less visual strain and distortion as compared to the flat screens. Looking at the curved screen for an extended period is therefore not as draining to the eyes as looking at the flat screen. Wider viewing angle. Curved monitors have a wider viewing angle because of the curved panel. This cuts down distortion because the light is directed to the eye instead of around the head. In addition, a wider viewing angle makes the images bigger than they would on a flat-screen monitor. More sense of depth. Unlike flat monitors, curved monitors include the three visual dimensions – length, width and height. The display resembles the depth of 3Ds minus the format issues offering a richer and more in-depth viewing experience. Which is Better? Ultrawide monitors, whether flat or curved, are great for gaming, multitasking and general entertainment. Their wider screens expand the work and viewing spaces eliminating the need for dual monitors. However, the debate of whether curved is better than flat is still unconcluded. What makes curved monitors standout is the immersive viewing experience that’s closely similar to 3D. In addition, its smooth, curved design is ergonomic, providing comfort to the eyes and neck. These are hugely beneficial to gamers and professionals who stare at the screen for hours. Flat monitors likewise have a string of benefits that curved monitors cannot provide. They’re easier to mount and more affordable than the curved monitors. Some users also find the curved monitor’s display distorted and prefer the precision of flat monitors instead. This is, of course, entirely subjective and would greatly depend on the viewer’s perception. Choosing between flat or curved ultrawide monitor would ultimately depend on the user’s personal preference. For users who want to enjoy the benefits of a comfortable and immersive viewing experience, the curved option is totally worth the price. Still, for users who have a limited budget and don’t fuss about the features and benefits of the curves, flat monitors are a great choice. View the full article
