Question 1

Is the plastic bezel shiny / reflects light? I always hate that.

Accepted Answer

The bezel is textured. It reflects a very small amount of light, but is certainly not shiny.

Question 2

does this monitor have speaker built-in?

Accepted Answer

It does not have a built in speaker. It is a great monitor though.

Question 3

How tall from base to top of screen?

Accepted Answer

From the top of the base to the top of bezel, I measure 16.25 inches.

Question 4

Recommended Resolution. Give me a break. What is the max resolution?

Accepted Answer

As far as I know 1920x1080 is the max resolution.

Question 5

Does it have vesa mounts or can you only use the built in stand?

Accepted Answer

The VESA mount is hidden by the stand, so you couldn't, for example, use it with a device that uses the VESA mount to hang behind the monitor. If you click to view all available product pictures, in the picture that shows the vga and dvi connectors, you can see the VESA mount screws as well as the button used to release the included stand from the monitor body. I believe it's a 100x100mm mount.

Question 6

Is this a Matte screen or a glossy screen?

Accepted Answer

It looks matte to me, no glare or reflections

Question 7

Only 1000:1 contrast ratio? Is that right? Always a confusing spec since my ASUS has 50,000,000:1

Accepted Answer

Hey Mark. You know I don't even look at that number when buying the lower end monitors. In fact I don't look at that number for any of the monitors. All of these companies make up a spec based on some weird way that they want to present it. Basically that monitor is a budget 24-inch. I bought five of them over the last year for clients and they look very nice, they're very well made for the price. They're good for business and stuff like that. I don't know how they would be for gaming, but the screen is consistent and lighted evenly. I have been generally pleased with them for the price.

Question 8

Can this monitor be connected to my Toshiba laptop?

Accepted Answer

May require an adapter like USB to DVI to work depending on the video outputs on the laptop.

Question 9

Does it have an HDMI port?

Accepted Answer

No, refer to the specs.
