It has a fixed stand without a tilt and swivel
mechanism and is presented with a remote
control.
The monitor does not incorporate a video tuner
or other electronics for processing television
signals.
The monitor is presented for use in information
display applications, such as public information
access points, retail signage, financial exchanges,
airports and trade show exhibits. For performing
this function, the monitor is capable of displaying
signals from both automatic data-processing
(ADP) machines and other video sources.
