PRODUCT FEATURE WALKTHROUGH (cont'd)

The connection panel is very simple with only the power, the digital and the analog (VGA) connections available. Now one thing I have heard and not personally tested myself is the fact that you can have this monitor hooked up to one computer via the digital connection and the analog connection hooked up to another computer. All that is needed is to hit the source menu button and you can swap between computers. Be warned though, I have not personally tested this out myself, but I have had emails from people saying that it can be done.

Now one of the greatest and most notable improvements is the rear movement. It has been improved to have side to side movement, screen rotation and forward and back tilting to be incorporated into one simple movement. In older models, monitor turning way handled through the base which I found not to work properly but with the new movement, one fingers worth of pressure can have the monitor turned to the desired position. Now remember the small button at the back base of the monitor stand I was talking about previously, well, here is where it is used.

Now if the stock height is perfectly fine for you, well then you won't have to use this feature. But if perchance you need the monitor elevated a bit, press down on the top of the monitor lightly, push the small button and this is what will happen.

The mechanism is spring assisted and the monitor can be lifted to the desired height with very little effort and as you can very well see, the additional monitor height is quite substantial.
