AOC presents the V2 monitor series with a choice of 3 sizes-- the 21.5-inch 22V2Q, the 23.8-inch 24V2Q and the 27-inch 27V2Q-- all "as slim as a smartphone" and with the same 3-sided frameless design.
The monitors carry a 1920 x 1080 resolution IPS panel with WLED backlight, wide viewing angles (178°/178°) and 72% NTSC colour gamut coverage. Also on offer is a quick 5ms response time, 75Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support, together with technologies such as Flicker-Free (regulates brightness with DC instead of pulse width modulation) and a Low Blue Mode reducing blue wavelengths.
N. America leads in spending with 41% of the total, or $40bn, followed by Asia-Pacific at $26bn and W. Europe at $17bn. In our part of the world, market drivers come from big names such as UK-based Centrica Connected Homes' Hive, Deutsche Telekom's Magenta Home, the German eQ-3 and Enco Toon in the Netherlands.
Opto-mechanical swtiches are based on breaking an IR beam when a key is pressed. According to Razer, this principle makes for a simpler construction than traditional mechanical keys, since they do not have the physical characteristics causing problems in traditional mechanical switch designs. In addition, the opto-mechanical switch has a 1.5mm actuation point, allowing for a 30% speed increase, while actuation force is at a light 45g. Each switch has a metal key stabiliser bar, and is rated for up to 100 million keystrokes.

To use the ES-100, one simply needs to flip it open, turning it into a handheld wand of sorts. The tip carries a sensor able to measure the amount of odour-producing particulates in the vicinity, and the device gives a score out of 10 (where 0 means a lack of smell and 10 is very smelly) once counting is over.
