It is large enough to serve as a sole display, but can also link up to a larger primary viewing source. It also has drivers available for Linux, Mac, and Windows; there’s no need to worry about whether your computer will be compatible!

The U70 is 18.4(w) x 12.4 (h) x 4.4 (d) cm, including stand. It has a weight of only 370 grams, or about 12 ounces. Its contrast ratio is 400:1, and it has a response rate of 30 ms. It comes in at a price of $147 or £99 plus VAT.
