It also offers two HDMI inputs, as well as an audio out port. This means it can easily be used with video game consoles and other entertainment devices that use HDMI connections. The excellent picture quality is great for that, and the added convenience provided by the remote control makes it a joy to use for a number of functions other than PC work or gaming. The two HDMI ports also mean that devices can be permanently connected, without the user having to swap stuff around, and the position of all the ports and controls mean that wall mounting won’t be a problem. The real joy, of course, comes from the performance of the mega contrast ratio, super resolution monitor, which brings the user bright, crisp and colourful visuals in full HD. If you want a monitor that can provide for a number if functions and is not shy on size for a desktop model, this one is a great choice. It avoids all those silly gimmicks like 3D and such, and delivers exactly what it should. g g a m e c c a h a r d wa r e • i s s u e 3 1 • J a n u a r y 2 0 1 2
