AOC Introduces the PDS241 and PDS271 Monitors - Designed by Porsche

AOC has partnered up with cr-designer extraordinaire Porsche to come up with sleek designs for two new monitors on its range. The PDS241 and PDS217 monitors both feature a (slightly yawn-inducing) 1080p AH-IPS panel, at 24 and 27" respectively. These come in thin as razors at 5.2mm, sporting a three-way-frameless design.

Apart from the sleek design and the stand (which is a hit-or-miss aesthetic choice from my perspective), there is nothing groundbreaking on offer here. You get technologies such as AOC's SuperColor WCG (100% sRGB coverage, and 90% coverage of the NTSC color space), flicker-free operation and low blue-light technology to help combat eyestrain. And these monitors won't set you back that much, at around $240 for the 24", and $330 for the 27", though you really are paying a pretty penny for that Porsche-christened design pedigree.

Characteristics and spec aside, the design is top notch.

Agreed. I came here to mock it honestly (what does Porsche have to do with computers), but it's so pretty, I can't.

It's Porsche Design Group, not Porsche AG (the car manufacturer). They are specialized in designing accessories.
Both companies are subsidiaries of parent company Porsche SE which owned by Porsche family.

It must be the work of an enemy stand.

Now that you mention it, I can't unsee the stand. Don't see how I missed that before.

60Hz and 4ms. Worse than many IPS and VA panels.
