The first aspect of the monitor you notice when you open the box is that everything is included. It even has a DVI cable and a wall mount, two rather expensive and seldom included accessories. It also contains a regular VGA cable, speaker cables, a power cable, an instruction manual, and a driver CD. After one takes it all out, they might be tempted to ask where the monitor is, as the box is very small and the accessories take up a lot of the space in it. It has an incredibly small footprint. This can be ascribed to in part by the style of base it has. The thin (yet sturdy) base folds right up behind the thin monitor itself, creating a more portable package than many LCDs have.
The style of its base is rather unique: The screen can both be vertically positioned and rotated. This allows for more positions of the monitor. The monitor has a viewing angle of 140/110, which isn’t great compared to the 172T’s 170/170.
The base itself has ports to plug the appropriate cables into. On the back, there is a DVI port, and RGB (analog) port, and a port for the power adapter. On the side, there is a jack for the cable for the speakers in the monitor. The placement of the port probably would have been better on the back, but it is very close to it and isn’t very important. Next to the port for the speakers, there is a knob for the volume control (more on the speakers later). By having ports in the back instead of permanently attached cables as some budget LCDs do, the monitor is easier to move around.
