Planar Helium PCT2235 Touch Screen 22" LED LCD Full HD Resolution Monitor with Helium Stand,black

works Perfect for KDS Screen

You can not plug an external speaker to this. I use this with my firestick. The sound is awful. Volumn is very low even on highest setting.

I bought this as a second monitor. I have a triple monitor setup, the main monitor is a Dell touchscreen. This Planar screen is a little smaller and I bought a "post" type extendible arm which extends the monitor *right off my desk* and hovering just beside my mouse hand. OMG its amazing. My only criticism about the screen is the control buttons. They are touch sensitive on the bezel and impossible to see. You will accidentally turn off your monitor if you have to handle or position it. Hardware buttons on the underside would have been better. EDIT: Upgraded from four stars to five. This monitor deserves more than four stars, the only option is to give it five.

TL;DR: it's worth the start up investment for short term gain. I have two of these (Helium) and 1st one no longer displays any image after 1y8mos, but powers on. I would still recommend the purchase given the size and (at the time) price. More detail for folks like me who read wayyyy too many of these: Purchased a pair of these during the early days of the pandemic (April 2020) for data work. My work computer at the time was running Win10 and I had no issues using all features right out of the box with this connected to a dock for all the various outputs they came with. Dual monitors allowed me to work with both screens for web and AWS + the smaller laptop screen for messaging and email. It was glorious! After hours, I would switch to my personal computer and browse the web or try new recipes using just the touchscreen function to keep my keyboard (mostly) clean. Late in 2020, I moved jobs and then apartments, where I connected just one monitor due to a smaller workspace, put the other one in a cupboard. The one mainly in use (no touch screen as these did not play well with my Macbook Pro or Air) was not moved from its original location, but stopped working entirely in December of 2021. I have tried a few HDMI cords and different laptops with no change in result. I fetched the second one, which is what I am using to write this review. The color is still great, there is no lag in function and I'm glad I got two for when I needed them. I now have a 34 inch widescreen and would like to rotate the functioning Planar so that it works in vertical mode, but gotta get a stand for that. I've heard great things about the VESA mounts for these specifically, but don't really feel like getting into that much labor rn, so if I can find a regular prop-type stand, I'll be going for that. I will likely wind up taking the non-functional monitor apart. For parts.

use this at work since my forarms start to hurt when i click the mouse too much so the touch screen helps
