Sourcing a 2nd Monitor

JATSO · May 14, 2014

I was given the task to source a 2nd monitor because the all in one pc washed out when the sun came out and shone into the room.

The blinds didn't help as they just made the room darker and only reduced the glare a touch, after all what head wants to work in a cave.

The brief was:

23 inch widescreen

Tilt and swivel

Height adjustable

Screen had to Matte finish not glossy - TFT or Backlit LED

Bezel must be shiny black and not too obtrusive

Decent price

Optional built in USB

So I set about my search and came up with these:

Pro's

Height adjustable

TFT LCD so not a glossy screen

Swivel and Tilt

Not a bad price.

Con's

Bezel is textured black not shiny black seems that all shiny black tends to be be on monitors with a glossy screen.

24" in size slightly bigger than your existing 23" screen.

There is an alternative which is a Dell montior but it has silver on the case and is double the price.

Failing that we could always try these below:

If they're having trouble with the sun - stick the monitor where the sun don't shine (as they say) - problem solved!

Not glossy black but still pretty good!

We have just bought a couple of these for the classrooms that have just had 65" touch screen monitors fitted

They are ok for what they were, they were under £100 yesterday
