AOC Aire Black LED-backlit monitors, nearly same, just now in black

As the name suggests, the new monitors are an all-black affair, and come in 20-, 22-, and 23-inch repetition. The slim screens also come equipped with a new software feature called Screen+ that allows users to divide the display into four separate work spaces. Other than that, not much is new here,  like the rest of the Aire series, the Aire Black features a 12.7-millimeter broad screen, with a 16:9 aspect ratio, 50,000,000:1 dynamic contrast, DVI-HDPC input, and five millisecond response time. If you like your monitor’s low-fat, you can get your hands on the ebony displays now for $129 (20 inch), $149 (22 inch), or $179 (23 inch).
