Touch monitor Iiyama ProLite T2451MTS: touch me, artist!

We used to think that touch-screen displays are used exclusively in small electronics – smartphones, tablets, players, as well as in special information booths or street payment terminals. And meanwhile, common computer monitors are also often equipped with “sensitive” displays. Most often these devices are used by artists and designers for drawing “by hand” in graphic editors, processing photos and working with color, although for everyday tasks they are also quite suitable. Iiyama ProLite T2451MTS – a classic representative of the class of inexpensive but good quality touch-screen monitors, which we will talk about in this review.

Package and delivery

The monitor is packed into a modest cardboard box without bright colors, pictures and any design frills: it only has the model name and a list of the main characteristics of the device. Everything is much better with the set. In the box you can find as many as five cables power, D-Sub, DVI, USB and mini-jack , as well as a stylus, operating instructions and warranty card. The monitor itself is delivered already assembled, so the stand is not specified in the package but it is, of course, there .

Design and build

Like most monitors in the product lineup iiyama, T2451MTS has a restrained and concise office design. The device boasts a thin and very graceful frame around the screen, soft and smooth lines, and a nice glossy sheen. Of course, glossy surfaces have a disadvantage they tend to be dirtier , but the problem can be solved with special wipes or spray for cleaning equipment.

The unusual shape of the stand deserves special attention. Since the monitor is touch screen, the designers decided to make it a little like an easel and equipped it with a tilting stand, which can change the angle of inclination. If desired, the device can be hung on the wall by removing the stand and fixing the monitor on a special bracket. To find it is not difficult: the device is equipped with holes, corresponding to the international standard VESA, which is compatible with virtually all mounting accessories.

Display

Touch support for the display is provided by special sensors placed on the edges of the screen. They form a grid of beams, through which is determined in what place the touch occurs.

Touch input is only supported by the device on Windows 7 and 8 operating systems. It is noteworthy that the screen takes the touch not only with your finger, but also with your stylus there is a special indentation in the monitor’s body for storing it . Control with the accessory will certainly seem more convenient for drawing, as well as when working with small objects. By the way, the device can recognize up to two simultaneous touches.

The menu

As you should expect a modern monitor, the buttons to control settings, too, are touch sensitive. There are four menus in total, and they allow either a quick access to certain functions or the access to the main menu. It has as many as nine items, some of which are not available if the monitor is connected via D-Sub. In general, the menu interface is simple and clear, although some items could be combined.

Using the menu you can adjust the image parameters brightness, contrast, smoothing level in dynamic scenes, color temperature, etc. and adjust the brightness of the screen.p. , to choose the signal source, to control the sound and select one of the preset modes.

Interfaces

Iiyama ProLite T2451MTS is equipped with the most popular interfaces today: 2 x HDMI, 1 x DVI-D, 1 x D-Sub, 1 x USB. By the way, one HDMI connector is located on the side of the case, which greatly simplifies the connection of external devices when the monitor is mounted on the wall.

There are also two built-in speakers with total capacity of 4 W – they can be useful if the user does not need high-quality speakers for example, if the computer does not listen to music or watch movies , but from time to time need somewhere to output sound. However, you can connect headphones or an external speaker system to the monitor, and use the built-in speakers to output sound from other devices – for all these purposes there are two mini-jack connectors.

Impressions

Overall, the Iiyama ProLite T2451MTS does a pretty good job on a daily basis. Color rendering is not a problem, tones seem alive and saturated, contrast is quite good, even in darkened scenes of movies and games. Viewing angles in the device is not the widest, and this is due to the cheaper matrix TN, but on the other hand, due to this managed to reduce the monitor price the average price of the device is about 16 thousand. Dollars .
