AOC Launches 18.5” Widescreen Green LCD Monitor in Australia and New Zealand

Sydney, Australia (3 November 2008) – AOC has announced the new Toriba 18.5” 831S+ with a 16:9 aspect ratio LCD panel – fast becoming a new trend in the monitor market. The native 16:9 aspect ratio means that typical HD media can be viewed full screen without distortion or annoying black bars.

The monitor has a streamlined style that should appeal to all users, leading screen performance and a highly competitive price. It boasts a dynamic contrast ratio of 10,000:1 along with a 5ms response time. The 831S+ will make an excellent budget monitor for home and classroom use, especially where full screen video viewing is common.

To meet today’s demand for more environmentally friendly products, the AOC Toriba series has received the EPEAT (Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool) Silver Award and ENERGY STAR certificate.
