Built-in Qi wireless charger and AMD FreeSync technology
Samsung launched on Monday the “world’s first” monitor, the SE370, that offers built-in wireless charging for phones and tablets. The company is offering the SE370 in two sizes, 23.6 inches (S24E370DL) and 27 inches (S27E370DS), that are compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium.
Outside the difference in sizes, both monitors provide the same features: a 1920x1080 resolution, a 4ms response time, 178-degree viewing angles, and a typical contrast ratio of 1000:1. Connectivity options include one HDMI 1.4 port, one DPI 1.2 port, and one D-Sub port. However, these two monitors have different brightness levels: 250 cd/m2 (23.6 inch model) and 300 cd/m2 (27 inch model).
“Through the integration of wireless mobile charging technology, our innovative SE370 monitor dramatically improves efficiency, convenience and connectivity at home and at work—representing another significant milestone in our long history of industry—firsts,” said Seok-gi Kim, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.
These two monitors throw out the integrated USB charging ports for a circular wireless charging area that’s built into the monitor’s base. Customers with a compatible device merely place it within the circular area. Once a connection is established, an LED will light, signaling that charging has commenced.

In addition to the wireless charging feature, Samsung also pointed out on Monday that the SE370 includes an eye-saver mode that reportedly reduces eye strain by turning down the amount of blue light. There’s also a flicker-free function that the company says reduces eye strain when the monitor is set at certain refresh rates.
For AMD-based PC gamers, Samsung has thrown in FreeSync technology. For the uninitiated, this built-in hardware syncs with the machine’s AMD GPU or APU and adjusts the refresh rate to match the game’s framerate. This eliminates screen tears, reduces input latency, and allows for a more fluid experience.
“The monitor’s game mode detects changes in scenes and instantly corrects blurry images, enhances colors, and alters contrast for improved visibility,” the company said on Monday.
Unfortunately, Samsung did not provide pricing or availability. However, the company acknowledged that these two monitors are Windows 10 certified.
