Soon, the list of branded devices with its support may expand - a new patent of the company describes a computer monitor, the display of which is a multi-channel speaker system.
According to documentation published by network sources, the device’s concept includes a set of vibration modules embedded under the surface of the screen to create a surround sound effect.
