Dell 19 inch Flat Screen Monitor Review - Extra Features
(Page 3 of 5 )
Once you've connected the USB device to PC cable, you get an extra four USB 2.0 ports courtesy of the monitor: two on the side and two on the bottom. Many USB devices, such as keyboards, give you one or two extra USB ports so that your new device doesn't use up the last of your spare ports, but I think Dell are going the extra mile by giving you four. This also means that inserting flash drivers and other removable devices is quick and easy and saves you rooting around at the back of your PC or under your desk. You don't even need to leave your seat!
Another "feature" is a cable management hole set into the center of the stand so that the power and interface cables can be routed to the rear of your desk without the tangle and confusion of a jumble of wires. It's not much of a feature admittedly, but personally I hate wires and cables, especially when they fuse into a solid mass behind a desk. This does help to alleviate things a little, which can only be a good thing.
Unusually for a monitor, it also features a security lock slot near the bottom of the screen. These are normally only found on laptops and can be used with specially designed locks that prevent jealous passers-by from giving in to their greed and doing away with your new bit of kit, which for a monitor of this quality is highly likely!
