CT-720D Features (Part 2)
We can't help but notice that the monitor's incredibly lightweight feeling. With the base attached, the CT-720D only weights in at 3.5kg. To keep the weight of the unit down, the CT-720D does not have its power supply built in, relying on an external AC adapter instead. The base is also nothing more than a plastic frisbee, and is attached to the stand through a simple slot design. This simple base is sufficient to support a monitor this light, though it is not sturdy enough to keep it from moving when you need to adjust the tilting angle. The stand itself is simple and rigid with rudimentary tilting functions (0-20 degrees), but users have the option to remove the stand and replace it with a VESA complaint mounting device.
Simple tilt stand and base. Not pretty, but it does the job. |
The base is constructed from thin, lightweight plastic with rubber stoppers for some semblance of grip. |
The hinge is probably the only piece of metal visible from the outside. It offers 0-20 degree tilting. |
Remove the caps to reveal the screws. If you want to attach VESA compliant mounts, you can remove the stand. |
The back of the monitor cabinet is as uninteresting as the front, and if possible even more. The reason we find it so is because the back is made up entirely in plain unadorned white, sans the ventilation slots. Looking back at the monitors we've reviewed in the past, it is a wonder what some simple engravings or lines can do to improve the aesthetic properties of a monitor. The monitor supports both analog and digital connections, with DVI-D and D-SUB input connectors located at the back. You will also find the stereo line-in and DC input jacks here.
Circulation vent slots at the rear. After a while, the monitor does get a little hot. Notice the four screw holes for attaching VESA mounting stands. |
To the right side, we have the analog D-SUB input plus a line in jack for the built-in stereo speakers. |
And on the left, the digital DVI-D and DC input connector. |
Universal Kensington lock slot. |
