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.

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).

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
