- Built-In Speakers eliminate the need for external speakers and ensure a stylishly streamlined profile
- Anti-Theft Covers for USB memory device and SD card slots provide enhanced security
- Built-In Temperature Sensor detects rising temperatures inside the monitor and automatically prompts an adjustment of the backlight brightness to keep the temperature within operational levels.
- Mirror Display (Daisy Chain) Mode enables the same image to be displayed on a series of daisy-chained LCD monitors, for the powerful impact of visual repetition.
