DisplayLink Drives AOC 22” USB Powered HD Display

No-Power-Cable Display Elevates Productivity for a World of Multi-Taskers

PALO ALTO, Calif. and FREMONT, Calif. – May 2, 2012 – DisplayLink®, a leading provider of technology for virtual graphics and USB-connected computing, today announced the availability of AOC®’s new 22-inch High Definition USB Powered Display (model e2251Fwu). This ultra-slim yet affordable LED monitor receives both power and signal solely through USB connection and offers simple plug-and-play connectivity, making the productivity benefits of dual- and multi-monitor computing available to the masses. The AOC e2251Fwu is equally suitable for business, gaming and entertainment use with its large high definition screen and excellent image quality.

Embedded with DisplayLink’s USB 2.0 graphics and connectivity technology for real-time video compression/decompression, AOC’s High Definition Powered Display is a mere 10.6 mm thick and is an energy saving “green” monitor running entirely on power delivered via a USB 2.0 cable.

AOC’s 22-inch USB Monitor offers impressive image quality with 1920×1080 resolution and 5ms response time. Supported on all leading operating systems, the monitor also comes with a convenient detachable stand that allows it to be used with or without the base like a picture frame.

“It seems that all users—home and business— are now living in a world that demands multi-tasking, and as such, the need for multiple screens has risen exponentially,” said John Cummins, VP of sales and marketing for DisplayLink. “AOC’s 22-inch High Definition USB Powered Display enables multiple monitors to be added to any desktop/notebook computer platform through the connection of a tidy and simple USB cable at an accessible price point.”

Breaking Free from the Shackles of Power and Video Cables Means Less Clutter and Easy Installation
