# Device-Charging Monitors The Acer H7 Monitor Will Debut at CES 2016 Featuring a USB Type-C Port By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-01-06 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-h7-monitor References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/acer-h7-the-worlds-first-usb-type-c-display/) & [us.acer](http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/h7) Many users questioned [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/docking-station) motive when the brand introduced the USB Type-C port on the new [MacBook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dockcase) lineup, but it's clear the technology is gaining traction with the new [Acer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-predator-monitors) H7 Monitor that will debut at CES 2016. Aside from offering blazing-fast imagery that's completely flicker-free, the Acer H7 Monitor will also double as a place to quickly charge devices thanks to the USB Type-C connection. Being that USB Type-C is both a way to transfer power and data that's far more efficient than traditional USB, the Acer H7 Monitor is able to operate via a single connection rather than requiring a data connection and a power supply. The Acer H7 is set to become available in 25-inch and 27-inch size options. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 61% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **USB Type-c Monitors:** The adoption of USB Type-C technology in monitors will enable manufacturers to provide both data transfer and charging features in a single connection. - **Flicker-free Imaging:** Providing flicker-free imagery to users is an innovation opportunity that can lead to better user experience related to visual health. - **Device Charging Monitors:** Developing monitors with device charging feature will target audiences who are looking for multi-functional and space-saving technology solutions. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Computer Hardware:** Computer hardware companies can take advantage of the USB Type-C technology and flicker-free displays to manufacture innovative monitors that offer a better user experience. - **Consumer Electronics:** Consumer electronics companies can target those audiences who are looking for multi-functional and space-saving solutions by developing device charging monitors with flicker-free displays. - **Health and Wellness:** Companies in health and wellness industry can benefit from flicker-free display technology and develop products that offer better visual health to users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sleek Home Office Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/usbc-monitors.md) - [Connectivity Hub 4K Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-ultrasharp-32-4k-usbc-hub-monitor.md) - [Port Hub Monitor Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/docking-station-monitor-stand.md) - [Tablet-Like Touchscreen Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-1.md) - [Widescreen USB Hub Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-pro-34-plus.md) - [4K Connectivity Charging Docks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/targus-dock710-and-dock720.md) - [Connectivity-Equipped Monitor Stands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monitormate-probase-c.md) - [Curvaceous eSports PC Peripherals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acer-predator-monitors.md) - [Oversized Pro Desk Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dell-ultrasharp-monitor.md)
