PCT2485 24" Helium Stand

The monitor is great! Love it. Have two already and wanted a third. The seller continually over sells what they have in stock. Had to try multiple times before i got one.

I'm happy with this monitor... I was born in the Eisenhower era #34 and my eyesight has changed over the past decade. A bigger screen of this size 24" is important along with gaining a touch screen. I'd gotten spoiled by a touch screen tablet, phone, and pc at work so I thought it about time to upgrade. Simple to plugin and installed and operational in a matter of minutes.

I was looking for a touch screen monitor with as much real estate as I could get and for the price the Planar Helium doesn't disappoint.It offers a good variety of connection options with a DisplayPort, VGA, and HDMI ports. It also has 2x USB 2.0 ports on the rear and 3.5mm audio in/out jacks. It came with a VGA, HDMI, and audio cable as well as a cord wrap and a small cell-phone style stylus (which, while appreciated, is not optimal for such a large screen).The onboard speakers are pretty tinny, but I didn't even realize that it had built in speakers before I purchased it so that's no let-down. I was very impressed by the kickstand attached to the backside of the monitor, it feels very steady when upright at 15 degrees and will hold the unit anywhere along the way down to 70 degrees. When it is in it's lowest position, it is easy to type using on-screen keyboards and take full advantage of the multi-touch functionality. Overall, I am very pleased with the purchase. I originally planned to use a wall mount for the screen, but the kickstand works so well I've stuck with it for the last few months.Now for the bad:-This is a HEAVY monitor. It is much heavier even than some of it's all-in-one counterparts such as the Lenovo Horizon (although it is comparable to the A740).-There is a fair amount of light bleed toward the lower corners of the screen. It lessens slightly when the monitor is reclined to its lowest position, so I suspect that this may be a symptom of its weight putting pressure on the display. It becomes noticeable when viewing darker images and video.-It is sometimes difficult to manage cords connected to the monitor. I have both all of the ports except for the audio in/out occupied and there is noticeable resistance from the bending cords when tilting the screen p and down. It seems that it would have been better to put the ports on one side of the screen considering the motion that the screen makes. It is a small downside, but it does become a nuisance from time to time.-I won't short this monitor for not being QHD because of when it came out, but the image quality isn't perfect. Like I said, it's great for multi-tasking, but the color and sharpness aren't where I would want them to be for work in photoshop.

Excellent picture and classy looking bezel. I have this mounted so it can be used a dual monitor for work and as a touch screen for the girls during remote learning. It has worked fantastically for both purposes and the girls love it. It is much heavier than I was expecting but still more than worth it considering the convenience.

Admittedly, I’m not super tech savvy— but I can say that this (as my second screen) has been a total game changer! It is so much easier to work with a big, clear touch screen. Set up was easy. Highly recommend.

First, let talk about the Bad. camera, so awful, useless, . video will only give you a blur movement can not catch video, only good for Picture. Second to think this monitor is manufacture made, all the cable should have bundle, or custome into one connector, one cable. still all individual. Three cable+ if you use other USB, all clutter, Third, I don't knows about other people, But I notice that even though the monitor is off the touch function still on, if computer still on, any touch on the screen will deploy what ever it is in the spot. Fourth, mic is very low. system hardly recognize voice, I don't even use it, it also additional cable. My first one the touch screen peel off on the top. I have to sent back. Support is responsive. But to think I trading my brand new unit for a refurbished not quit happy. but have no choice. Picture quality is good, not brilliant. have to sit straight in front or color will look wash out.LAST, refresh screen seems to be slow, somehow it is not reset itself, when it crash. screen just black out and it happen a lot both monitor I had did the the same thing, usually happen when login, get quit a game, or app,the only thing to do is shut off the monitor and turn back on. my Graphic card is not cheap. I have the 780 gtx classified.I gave a 3 star because the touch functions work. still on desktop I cant bring up the task bar with touch, it don't work have to use key board, so if you like to use desktop mode a lot the touch screen still not up to it. keep in mind google chrome and google is not very responsive to touch screen, only Internet Explore. price is higher than others. I bought it, because it has ten point touch, camera, mic. In conclusion I should have go with the other. because no application will allow,or use ten point touch yet for home user. camera and mic are useless.

I bought this screen a while ago, and am enjoying having such a responsive touch screen for my computer. I has a great design, is slimmer than I was expecting, and works well on my adjustable wall mount. The touch inputs are the most precise I have ever experienced with any touch device, which makes it perfect for making texture files for 3d models in Photoshop.
