Leave a comment

BenQ’s advanced eye-care technologies and sleek ergonomic designs power the latest work and study setup in a screen-centric world

SINGAPORE, Oct. 12, 2020 — BenQ, the world-leading provider of digital lifestyle innovations, today launched the GW2780T Eye-care Monitor and Monitor Light ScreenBar, a powerful combination to safeguard eye health for any work and study environment. GW2780T is the 27-inch edition of its popular predecessor GW2480T 24-inch monitor, featuring the latest eye-care technologies and height adjustment stand; complemented by the ScreenBar, an intelligent clip-on monitor light with advanced sensors and dimmable features designed for consumers’ viewing comfort.

With the existing work-from-home regulations due to COVID-19, Singaporeans continue to spend a disproportionate amount of time at their home office, creating a need for intelligent digital products that maintain and protect eye health in our screen-centric world.

"The ongoing pandemic has normalised remote working and learning on a large scale, resulting in an increase in average screen time for both adult and young digital consumers. The launch of BenQ’s GW2780T Eye-care Monitor and Monitor Light ScreenBar in Singapore is paving the way for new concepts of home productivity and entertainment setups while safeguarding consumers’ eye health," said Jeffrey Liang, President of BenQ Asia Pacific. "The monitor-ScreenBar duo boasts intelligent features and intuitive designs to optimise the productivity corner, a commitment that BenQ continues to uphold for office workers and students who are experiencing higher screen time after the pandemic."

GW2780T – Eye-care monitor designed for remote working and learning

The latest model in BenQ’s G-Series LED monitors, the GW2780T Eye-care Monitor offers the user many vision health-focused features, including BenQ’s exclusive Brightness Intelligence Technology (B.I.). As screen time increases, computer users are more susceptible to eyestrain caused by improper lighting from ambient light and display light, as well as reflection glare. This could potentially contribute to the prevalence of myopia in Singapore, which is currently amongst the highest in the world.

The GW2780T Eye-care Monitor uses B.I. to automatically adjust the screen light to suit the user’s surrounding environment, adapting brightness and enhancing dark areas on the display without overexposing bright regions. 

Engineered for safe and optimal screen time, both the GW2480T and GW2780T Eye-care Monitors offer pairing options with laptop, tablet, and even smart phone, allowing the user to enjoy the comfort of big screen projection, with the help of Flicker-Free Technology and Low Blue Light Technology.

The GW2780T is a valuable addition to any home office or study room as its height adjustment stand allows for optimal customisation in terms of the display height, tilt, pivot, and swivel—all of which ensure that anyone in the family can comfortably maintain a proper viewing distance and correct sitting posture.

ScreenBar – An Amazon US bestseller now available in Singapore

An original invention by BenQ, the ScreenBar is a cutting-edge e-reading monitor light that features exclusive auto-dimming feature, asymmetrical optical design, and a patented clip, removing the need for a lamp base and additional table space.

What makes the Monitor Light ScreenBar top off the line is its 14 adjustable brightness levels and 8 colour temperature levels (from 2.7K to 6.5K), maximising the user’s efficiency and comfort. The auto-dimming feature, thanks to built-in ambient light sensors, detects the surrounding brightness and illuminates the workstation with the proper brightness and colour temperature.

The USB-powered ScreenBar also features an asymmetrical optical design that only illuminates the desk and does not shine on the screen, avoiding reflective glare.

BenQ’s Monitor Light ScreenBar can be paired with a wide range of monitors, offering the user unmatched product versatility and optimal viewing experience regardless of their environment.

The GW2780T Eye-care Monitor and Monitor Light ScreenBar retails at SGD339 and SGD159 (before GST) and are now available exclusively at BenQ Store on Lazada.

The new Spin 7 notebook utilizes the Snapdragon 8cx Gen 2 5G compute platform with the Snapdragon X55 5G Modem-RF System, which supports 5G connectivity across both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies with download speeds up to 7.5 Gbps. Where available, users can expect fast and reliable 5G connections. The speed, low-latency and independence offered by 5G connectivity means that the Spin 7 can keep up with the demands of modern business. As remote work becomes increasingly prevalent and workforces become spread out, high-speed 5G connectivity allows users to stay connected for efficient productivity on-the-go.

Four Distinctive Form Factors

The Spin 7’s design goes beyond its attractive form and seeks to empower users with a variety of form factors: notebook, tablet, tent, and presentation modes. These form factors are made possible by Acer’s 360-degree hinge design, which also slightly elevates the chassis while in notebook mode to offer a more ergonomic typing experience. The notebook’s chassis also houses an Acer Active Stylus, a rechargeable stylus with 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity that employs Wacom AES 1.0 to offer users an authentic sketching or note-taking experience on the device’s touch screen.

Ultraportable for Style-Conscious Professionals

The Spin 7 is a 14-inch convertible notebook designed for style-conscious professionals, featuring a polished-looking steam blue chassis offset by gold accents. A magnesium-aluminum alloy body allows the body to measure in at just 1.4 kg and 15.9 mm thin, making it portable enough to practically disappear into a backpack or briefcase. This attention to detail extends to the notebook’s 14-inch Full HD IPS display, which covers 100% of the sRGB gamut, allowing for vivid and sharp colors. 

Antimicrobial Solutions[4] for a Safer Computing Experience

The touch screen is covered by a layer of Antimicrobial Corning® Gorilla® Glass. A BPR & EPA-compliant silver-ion antimicrobial agent in the coating on the keyboard, touchpad and surrounding surface is proven to show a consistently high microbial reduction rate against a broad range of bacteria under the JIS Z 2801 & ISO 22196 test protocol.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire and its latest innovation, Automated Interview Scoring, empower enterprises to use cutting-edge science to make more predictive, engaging and fair hiring decisions

CLEVELAND and DELAFIELD, Wisconsin, Sept. 2, 2020 — Modern Hire, the all-in-one enterprise hiring platform that enables organizations to continuously improve hiring experiences and outcomes with trusted science and technology, today unveiled CognitIOn by Modern Hire.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is the company’s industry-leading science, represented by its capabilities and expertise in data science, predictive analytics, artificial intelligence and industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology. It is also built on Modern Hire’s deep experience with HR and hiring process, legal know-how and candidate focus, representing the deepest and broadest talent intelligence available to hire the most diverse, engaged and qualified workforce.

"Our team of Ph.D. data scientists and industrial-organizational psychologists are the best in their field and absolutely integral in everything Modern Hire does," said Mike Hudy, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer at Modern Hire. "The rigorous and ongoing science powered by CognitIOn by Modern Hire enables our clients to make more personalized, data-driven hiring decisions and provide a superior candidate experience. This launch reaffirms our commitment to driving research and innovation in our field while delivering practical new ways of measuring and understanding human performance in the workplace."

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is powered by tens of millions of annual candidate interactions, practical application of advanced AI techniques, and nearly two decades of diligent, data-driven client research and practice by the company’s 40+ Ph.D. industrial-organizational and data scientists. By combining comprehensive expertise in I/O psychology, talent selection science, diversity and fairness, candidate experience, the practical application of ethical AI, data science, advanced analytics, and employment law, CognitIOn by Modern Hire empowers its enterprise clients – including 47 of the Fortune 100 – to make more transparent, predictive, engaging and fair hiring decisions.

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is embedded in all of the company’s products and innovations, including its Automated Interview Scoring (AIS), an on-demand video interview feature that uses AI to evaluate candidate responses and provide recruiters and hiring managers with recommended scores to ensure a more fair, unbiased and complete hiring experience. AIS is currently available to existing clients as part of an Early Access Program and will go to general release later this year.

AIS uses proven science, natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning to reliably replicate the judgment of professionally trained experts. While most models of this type are deployed with a 60% reliability factor compared to humans, Modern Hire presented scientific study results showing that AIS received a reliability score of 89% at a recent Society of Industrial-Organizational Psychology event – proving that AIS arms interviewers with a tool that enables more consistent, accurate, efficient and fair hiring decisions.

"Interviewing is a traditionally subjective and biased process. Through no fault of their own, interviewers incorporate factors not related to the job into their evaluation of candidates," said Eric Sydell, Ph.D. and EVP of Innovation at Modern Hire. "AIS removes the subjective, biased nature of the interviewing process by focusing only on the job-relevant aspects of candidates’ responses and evaluating every candidate on the exact same criteria. This creates a more transparent, ethical and consistent hiring process, while still enabling the interviewer – not the AI – to make the final decision."

CognitIOn has been leveraged by Walmart, Amazon, CVS Health and Bank of America to win four of the last five prestigious Human Resource Impact Awards from SIOP and SHRM. These awards recognize each organization’s hiring solution for saving millions of dollars annually in reduced turnover, saving decades of hiring manager time in increased efficiency, supporting extremely high-volume hiring, and delivering an innovative and engaging candidate experience.

L-com Introduces New USB 3.0 Right-Angle Type-C Assemblies Ideal for High Speed Data Transfer in Tight Spaces

Leave a comment

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 28, 2020 — L-com, a preferred manufacturer of wired and wireless connectivity products, announced today that it has launched a new line of USB 3.0 right-angle type-C assemblies that are ideal for data storage and acquisition, test and measurement, video transfer or cameras, portable data storage, and gaming hardware and interfaces.

L-com’s newest USB 3.0 assemblies feature an angled, 90°, type-C male connector on one end, and either a straight, type-A male or 90°, right-angle, type-A male plug on the other end. Since USB type-C has no set orientation, these new angled C cables can serve as both left and right or up and down angles.  This eliminates the need for separate cables for each version angle as you can simply flip the cable from left to right or up to down.  These assemblies are USB 3.0-compliant and feature 30-micro-inch gold-plated contacts that provide a reliable connection with repeated mating cycles. These cable assemblies are constructed with molded back shells for durability and increased strength at cable entry point for solving difficult connection problems in tight spaces. Plus, UL-style 2725 PVC jackets with 26 AWG power conductors deliver excellent power transfer capability.

"These new cable assemblies are perfect for high speed data transfer in tight spaces, while creating neat and organized cable runs. They have durable, molded, angled ends that save space and reduce stress on connector heads, strain reliefs and connecting ports," said Dustin Guttadauro, Product Line Manager.

L-com’s new USB 3.0 right-angle type-C cable assemblies are in stock and available for immediate shipment.

ZHUHAI, China, Aug. 21, 2020 — Aiming to optimize user experience for Indian customers, Pantum has launched a social media campaign on the Pantum India Facebook page to invite Indian users to list out their three most beloved features of Pantum M6502NW laser printer and M7102DW multi-function laser printer (MFP). Almost two thousand platform users shared and engaged with the post within days, and here is the round-up of their thoughts about which features have made the two printers the ideal printing solutions for enterprise and home office setup:

M6502NW – a compact three-in-one printer suitable for small business and home

With Pantum one-step driver installation, users can enjoy the simplest way to instantly set up and connect the printer to a computer with just one click. For the fans of Pantum M6502NW laser printer, the versatile connectivity and streamlined setup steps have made it a great working companion in both business and home scenarios. It features intelligent connection mode which enables users to automatically identify the nearby printers via Pantum App. Users can also connect the printer to multiple computers through Wi-Fi or network.

Coming in at a cost-effective price, Pantum M6502NW’s powerful functionality packed in a compact design takes its place as the second most favourite feature cited by its users. Capable of scanning, photocopying and printing, the affordable three-in-one laser printer is designed to maximize productivity for the start-up and home office while offering a more space-saving printing solution.

The high-performance and efficiency of Pantum M6502NW have also opened up more possibilities for the users who have to work from home during the pandemic. With a monthly page volume of up to 2,000 pages and the rate of 22 pages per minute, the printer is more than capable of handling whatever you might need to throw at it.

M7102DW – a perfect budget MFP printer that corporate users are looking for

For corporate users who are looking for a budget multi-function laser printer (MFP) with maximum features, Pantum’s fans might tell them that M7102DW is an unmissable choice. The all-in-one printer sports a clean and professional look and operates without noise and heating problem. But the most mentioned feature that has made this device hard to beat as an MFP printer at this price point is automatic duplex printing, also known as double-siding printing, an ideal function for the companies that wish to keep the operational costs down during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For businesses demanding high-productivity and fast workflow, printers equipped with incredible print speed and convenient operation are highly sought-after, and M7102DW has made its reputation among users for these two features. The MFP printer comes with an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) that can scan up to 24 A4 pages per minutes and copies 33 pages per minutes, meeting the daily printing need of medium and large enterprises.
