Without buying anything extra? No.

What don't you like about the stand though?  It looks sharp, allows the display to swivel 90 degrees in either direction (providing easy access to the plugs), can tilt the monitor a few degrees horizontally, and can raise/lower the panel about 8 inches.

I'm dead positive that you are wrong. The monitor is manufactured by benq but the panel was made by lg-philips. You remember when all the 16ms 17" monitors appeared? They were all manufactured by different companies (NEC, Benq, Viewsonic, Hitachi, etc), but they all used the same AU Optronics panel. The dell 2001fp is made by benq, but the panel comes from LG-Phillips.

Quote from tomshardware: "The 200P4 was launched in December and logically, it's based on a LG-Philips panel, which is already very popular. It had barely become available when it could be found on a Sharp monitor (LLT2015), a Dell (the 2001FP) and probably on the NEC (the 2080UX+) too."

Benq doesn't make their own panels, they just manufacture the monitor. If you look at their 16 and 12ms monitors you will find that they use the 16 and 12ms versions of the AU-Optronics panel and not a proprietary Benq panel.

Here's some solid proof: 2001fp panel.

Let's see. Should we believe Dell or Anandtech? Gosh, that's a tough one. :rolleyes:

BenQ is not a maker of LCD panels.. LG and Samsung are. BenQ only makes the HOUSING! Same with Apple lcd's, Apple buy's the LCD panel from Samsung or LG (or other makers of lcd panels) then they build thier own housing. So if a LCD monitor is made by Apple does that mean that the LCD panel was build by them? No.

Let's see.  Should we believe Dell or Anandtech?  Gosh, that's a tough one.  :rolleyes:

BenQ does not make that panel let alone any. LG-Phillips does, whether you want to believe it or not. Gosh this is a tough problem, BenQ doesn't make their own panels and its a known fact that the dell among many others use the LG-philips panel (viewsonic, nec, and dell all use the panel and probably more).

    • BATorrent 3.0.3 is out.
    • The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
