enbiggen Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 Hi, I'm looking at buying thirty LCDs for a new pupil computer room (we already have the computers from spares from an earlier purchase), with the following requirements: Ideally an internal PSU, rather than a power brick. The ones I've been looking at recently all seem to have external PSUs, but I'd prefer to directly plug the AC power into the monitor. HDMI connection, 1920x1080. Only about 21" inches, as we need to keep the width down for space reasons. Lower end of the price range. Does anyone have any recommendations of monitors and/or suppliers? We'd consider refurbished too. Thanks.

Danp Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 What about USB C powered monitors? Run them from the PC then, not need for additional plug socket

Cheers.
enbiggen Posted May 14, 2024 Author Posted May 14, 2024 What about USB C powered monitors? Run them from the PC then, not need for additional plug socket Unfortunately not a possibility with the PCs we have, but when I thought about this in the past I've always thought the USB-C socket looks a bit flimsy, especially for pupil facing PCs. (I'd worry about robustness with staff too, but pupils would be even more challenging.)
LeMarchand Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 (edited) @ICTDirect_Dave's sister site has these: https://www.bargainhardware.co.uk/hp-elite-display-e223-22-led-monitor-with-stand Might be worth asking how many? Actually, plenty atm. https://ict-direct.co.uk/stock-list/ Edited May 14, 2024 by LeMarchand
Millgate_Jimbo Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 Iiyama seem to have a few options with internal power. Can get you a spec sheet and cost over if you want to PM me They have USB, HDMI, DP and a headphone jack from the model i'm currently looking at. Give us a shout
3s-gtech Posted May 14, 2024 Posted May 14, 2024 BenQ GW2283 or similar, but pick carefully as some of their lowest models have external PSUs.
BenQ_Chris Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 Hi @enbiggen - at BenQ we have the GW2283 (GW2283|21.5" 1080p Eye-Care IPS Monitor | BenQ UK): 21.5", 1080p, built in PSU, 2 x HDMI and the panel also features our eye-care technology. The SRP on these is £89.99 (inc. VAT). Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
