The AOC Aire iPlay Monitor is a 23-inch LED with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 1920×1080 resolution, a 5ms response time, 16:9 aspect ratio, an HDMI input, and a pair of 10 watt speakers. That alone is pretty standard stuff, but they also stuck an iPhone / iPod dock on the base of the monitor. Not only does it charge your iPhone or iPod but it allows for immediate video and audio playback on the monitor. Not exactly mind blowing integration, but it makes good sense. AOC might be a bit late to the game considering the rumors that the iPhone 5 will be getting a different (smaller) dock port. If the price was comparable to another 23-incher that I was looking at buying, I would opt for the one with the dock port. Yours for about $279.99.
