What's so special about an external monitor? Isn't it just something you need for a desktop computer or reluctantly buy to complement a laptop? Most of the time, yes, external monitors can reside on the boring side of the gadget spectrum. Here,makes the category a bit more exciting, both with its visual design and host of integrated features. It wouldn't take much imagination for it to be turned into an all-in-one computer.
The thing that does take a little getting used to is the monitor's 3:2 aspect ratio. Instead of being wider, it's taller. Unlike a TV displaying widescreen video content, the thought here is that it's more important to have vertical real estate for the most common use: a web browser. In reality, large monitors are already wide enough at the close distances we sit in front of computer screens so adding vertical, instead of horizontal, space makes sense.
