MMD, a leading technology company and brand license partner for Philips Monitors, has unveiled its new USB docking stand.

The users can attach their notebook via USB cable and lock their preferred VESA-compliant display into place with the stand, said a statement.

It will provide easy access to all the office peripherals and the Internet via a single USB 3.0 connection, it said.

Completed by a Philips monitor, the stand combines these productivity and convenience gains with an excellent viewing experience.

The brand-new Philips SB4B1928UB USB Docking Stand consists of a stylish, ergonomic stand that users can pair with a new Philips display of their choice, or any display they already have, said the statement.

With support for screens from 19 to 28 inches, the new docking stand will give users greater flexibility for choosing (and swapping) displays.

The stand is a good fit for the latest ultra-thin notebooks preferred by mobile business professionals who work at multiple locations, it said.

Offsetting the major drawback of the lighter thinner notebooks – their limited choice of connectors – the new docking stand provides an integrated USB 3.0 hub and Ethernet.

Thomas Schade, vice president EMEA, said: “Users can plug in at the office and get straight down to work. And they don’t have to deal with cable clutter on their desk, either. Thanks to the universality of USB, the new stand works with any notebook with a USB port. It enables people to connect right away, with instant one-cable access to office peripherals, the Internet and power supply.”

The stand will give users the freedom to select the display size, resolution and technology best suited to their applications – up to 4K UHD resolution with its 3840 x 2160 pixels.

The users can also plug up to six monitors into the docking stand via HDMI, DisplayPort and USB – all still with just one USB cable between the docking stand and notebook.

With the Philips SmartErgoBase design, the stand can be raised or lowered, tilted, swivelled and rotated to put the display in exactly the right position for the user.

The low bezel-to-table height will ensure maximum reading comfort, particularly for wearers of bifocals, trifocals or progressive lens glasses.

It will also feature extra cable management abilities to keep the workspace neat and professional, it added. - TradeArabia News Service
