SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 21, 2018 -- Huntkey, a global leading provider of power solutions, announced its new SMC series, an elegantly designed and energy-efficient surge protector intended for the North America market. The new SMC series includes models SMC607, SMC807 and SMC127, which are all equipped with USB charging ports to deliver convenient charging to users.

Huntkey is a renowned brand for surge protectors and power strips. Some consumers encounter problems distinguishing between the two due to their similar appearances. To help consumers find the right product, Huntkey has listed some of the differences below:

A power strip only supplies power to electronic devices. A surge protector also supplies power similar to a power strip, but it can also protect the devices against power surges. It takes a little bit of examination to differentiate between the two.

A power strip can act as an extension cord which can have two to eight sockets. The power output is divided uniformly between each socket. A power surge protector can also have multiple sockets, but it also handles power surges at the same time.

When it comes to protecting expensive electronics such as a refrigerator, computer, or television, users must use a surge protector. Surge protectors often come with several sockets, but there are also single-outlet surge protectors available. Single-outlet surge protectors can be used for heavy duty electronics such as refrigerators or ovens. Power strips are suitable for users who want to run simpler devices like toasters or charge their devices.

Sometimes surge protectors also feature an additional LED light on them that indicates when they are protecting the devices from a power surge. So, a LED light labeled "Protected" is a good way to identify if the product is a surge protector or power strip.

When users have to identify a power strip from a surge protector, they must be careful to check the packaging due of the similarities. Picking the right rating is key to picking up a suitable surge protector. The quality of surge protectors is measured by the capacity of its power absorption in joules. A surge protector rated at 1000 - 2000 joules is appropriate for protecting devices such as printers and mobiles. Users who wish to protect more power-intensive devices like televisions or computers should go for higher ratings.

Yesterday I bought a Huntkey curved monitor - the X3271CK in an IT mall nearby my house, and now as a user, I will unbox it and show you how simple it is to set it up.

As described, it is a gaming monitor that features a 31.5-inch screen whit a high resolution of 2560x1440, and a VA panel with 144Hz refresh rate.

At first glance, it is packaged with a yellow paper box that is simply designed. Although the paper package is not as beautiful as I expected, it is truly a good way for me to save my money.

What's inside the box? Let me check, a monitor, an AC cable, a DP cable, a manual and a warranty card. Not too many content, but that's enough.

It's very easy to set it up. Firstly you need a screw driver to fix the stand with the base.

On the back of the monitor, there is a hexagon slot for the connection with the stand. You just simply put the stand into the slot and it's done. Very easy and no any screw needed.

Well, from the outside, it looks pretty good. I like the black color with a little red in the slim bezels. It is obviously curved from a side look.

As we can see, buttons are set on the bottom right of monitor as usual, and on the left and right sides, there are two lines of holes for heat dissipation.

On the back, we can easily find that there are 3 ports, including DVI port, HDMI port and DP port. On the front, a white and sharp "Huntkey" logo comes into my sight.

Finally I light it up and open a picture, we can find that the picture is naturally and colorfully showed on its Samsung PVA panel. With a decent 144Hz refresh rate, support for 16.7 million colors and 178-degree viewing angle, it will be able to deliver a rich and immersive gaming experience.

Overall from this unboxing and simple setup, I personally quite like this monitor that provides the key features I care about most. Most importantly, its price is acceptable for me and within my budget. I highly recommend it.
