Samsung today introduced the next generation of its
Central Station, the Series 7 Samsung Smart Station, as
well as a redesigned Series 7 HDTV monitor for a
whole-home solution.
Part HD monitor, part wireless docking station, the
second generation Series 7 Smart Station (CB750) now
integrates with mobile devices in addition to notebook
PCs, peripherals, network and AV.
The new Series 7 HDTV monitor (TB750) includes HDTV
functionality with a built-in TV tuner and integrated
wireless display (WiDi) technology from Intel for added
connectivity to the TB750 as well as integrations with
mobile devices like smartphones and tablets.
The Series 7 Smart Station, available in 24- and
27-inch configurations, and the Series 7 HDTV monitor,
available in 24- and 27-inch configurations, will be
available on display during the 2012 International
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, January 10-13.
Series 7 Smart Station
By linking their Android MHL-compatible smartphone,
users can take advantage of the Series 7 Smart
Station's new Mobile High Definition Link (MHL) and
enjoy content from their mobile devices directly on the
much larger screen and with the benefit of built-in
stereo audio. Users can more easily keep an eye on
their smartphone, browse to it and even charge the
device.
Expanding upon the auto wireless detection feature
included in the original Central Station, Samsung's new
Series 7 Smart Station can find a laptop equipped with
the included wireless USB adapter once it is moved
within a 5-foot radius of the device. It also includes
a new Mobile Control feature which allows users to
simultaneously connect to a tablet or smartphone,
granting them complete control over their mobile device
via the Series 7 Smart Station?s unified hub interface
and a traditional mouse and keyboard. Users can quickly
browse between their laptop and smartphone interfaces
to reply to incoming SMS messages or alerts on their
mobile devices and return to more involved tasks on
their laptop within seconds.
Sporting an updated design, the Series 7 Smart Station
features smooth lines, a wide-angle viewing panel and
new base-mounted connection ports that reduce desktop
clutter.
Samsung?s new Series 7 Smart Station a single-hinge
base. They feature three USB ports (two USB 3.0 and
one USB 2.0), an HDMI input, enabling users to connect
Blu-ray players, set top boxes, or gaming devices in
order to take full advantage of the 1080p LED backlit
display. Users can also enjoy sound from their
connected Blu-ray player or laptop through integrated
speakers, or via external speakers through the audio
out port.
Series 7 HDTV Monitor
The Series 7 HDTV monitor features Mobile High
Definition Link (MHL) support, allowing MHL-enabled
smartphones and tablets to use it as an external
display, giving users the ability to share content like
images and videos, while taking advantage of the bigger
display and built-in speakers. For compatibility with
nearly any device, the Series 7 HDTV monitor
incorporates dual HDMI ports and a VGA port.
Along with the addition of the HDTV tuner, the Series 7
HDTV monitor includes Samsung's SmartHub function
providing users with the opportunity to access a suite
of downloadable apps for accessing additional content
like Hulu Plus, Netflix, games and more.
The new Series 7 HDTV monitor features the asymmetrical
design introduced in the 2011 950 Series. With the neck
placed to the right of the display, the screen hovers
over its slim stand and its slim profile tilts to the
user's optimal viewing angle. It also features
Samsung?s MagicAngle feature to optimize the image
based on the users' position.
The integrated picture-in-picture (PiP) display allows
users to even continue working while simultaneously
viewing television.
The Series 7 Smart Station and Series 7 HDTV 750
monitor will be available in March 2012. Pricing for
the Series 7 Smart Station will begin at $549 while
