A few things break the clean lines: there is a sticker which reads “SVGA Color Display” at the bottom right corner, and a weird globe logo where the HP logo used to be.
I especially like the ‘fold’ which runs across the front, underneath the screen. The monitor has a sleek look, but as always, different people, different tastes. With my other TFT (an excellent 17″ Dell), I could adjust it in any possible way (even tilt it), and I really miss that functionality with this LCD monitor. In addition, the stand does not allow for horizontal adjustment at all which can be annoying, as I regularly want to show something to friends who are sitting on the couch. Now, in all honesty, I rarely see a monitor these days that does allow for proper vertical adjustment. I require my monitors to be at eye level (I have a tilted shoulderblade) and this is something this monitor cannot do. Sadly, the stand does not allow for much in the way of vertical adjustment. The stand can be removed, and a standard VESA 100mm can be attached to it if needed. On the sides of the stand, there is space to tuck away the cables. I find this a definite advantage, as the sheer size of this monitor would not have been done justice by a flimsy stand that you see on all too many monitors today. Contrary to what I thought, it was the stand that added the most weight not the monitor itself. The first thing you notice when you take the LCD monitor out of its box is how heavy it is. Yes, I really enjoy a clutter-free workspace…

You will also find the usual warranty leaflets and a manual inside. In the box you will find the monitor, VGA and DVI cables, an audio cable, an USB cable to connect the internal USB hub, and of course a power cord. The monitor does not have an external power brick, it is all built-in, so you do not need to worry about making space for yet another power brick. It also features a two-port USB hub, a standard VGA as well as DVI video port, a stereo headphone jack, and audio in/out ports. The monitor has a silver casing and foot, as well as built-in stereo speakers.

It would behave like a DisplayLink display except Apple could make a better Thunderbolt display driver than the DisplayLink people can make a USB display driver. I wonder how a Thunderbolt Target Display Mode display looks in ioreg -flw0 and /System/Library/Extensions/AppleGraphicsControl.kext/Contents/MacOS/AGDCDiagnose -a > AGDCDiagnose_a.txt 2>&1? I guess it would not behave or perform like a display connected to a GPU. You would need a PCIe connection to the add-in card and the add-in card would need Apple Thunderbolt firmware. You cannot make this work by including an externally powered Thunderbolt 3 add-in card such as a GC-TITAN RIDGE or GC-ALPINE RIDGE because the Thunderbolt Target Display Mode signal is not just DisplayPort over Thunderbolt (I'm guessing). But a USB-C MacBook does not have Thunderbolt so this will not work. The display should perform as a display connected directly to the GPU of the MacBook.įor a Thunderbolt iMac, use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 to Thunderbolt 2 adapter with a Thunderbolt 2 cable. For a Mini DisplayPort iMac, use a USB-C to Mini DisplayPort cable or USB-C to DisplayPort cable with DisplayPort to Mini DisplayPort adapter.
