Design Details
- Unique Properties
- 48 inch OLED Gaming monitor adopts a super slim borderless screen design of only 3.1mm, 120HZ screen refresh rate and high resolution excellent OLED image quality, with dual channel bionic acoustic surging surround sound, creating a top notch for users Immersive gaming experience. The staggered lines and the collision of blocks create a fighter element design full of mechanics and speed, and the interactive lighting design allows players to be immersed in the scene.
- Inspiration
- The design of Konka 48 inch OLED gaming monitor is inspired by the shape and composition of fighter planes, with staggered lines, high and low block surface splicing, symmetrical texture with upward impact trend, slender triangle lighting design, blade base design, bottom end matching interaction Atmospheric lights create a strong sense of gaming atmosphere and provide players with an immersive gaming experience.
- Research
- Through the data collection and analysis of the existing domestic and foreign Gaming monitors, it can be found that the design styles can be mainly divided into two types: A. High end and simple competition style: the whole machine model is simple in shape. Incorporate a moderate amount of competition elements. The integration of lighting adds a sense of competition. B. Distinctive personality and competitive style: The key design is the design of the rear shell and the middle base. (Strong sense of competition, strong lighting blessing)
- Challenge
- Due to the thick thickness of the native TOCN of the power board, the main board and the module, the rear case of the display is very large in size. In order to reduce the visual experience of the heavy back cover, we try to thin the edge of the back cover as much as possible. At the same time, in order to highlight the difference between gaming elements and conventional monitors, we use a layered back cover design.
- Realization and Technology
- Plastic back shell; Die cast metal base; Metal bending frame; Semitransparent frosted lighting parts
- Operation and Interaction
- Open the terminal cover of the rear shell of the monitor, plug in the power cord, connect it with the computer host with the signal transmission line, and cover the terminal cover to complete the installation. Turn on the power, the light of the rear shell and the low end light of the base will jump with the display screen.
