Distortion-free and unsusceptible to electromagnetic interference, the Prophetview 720’s
sharp, lifelike picture, wide viewing angle and space-saving design make it the ultimate
monitor for home or business users!

! TFT-LCD monitor

impressive depth of only 2cm (14cm with stand)!

standard and DDC1/2B. The picture adjustment function allows the image quality to be
adjusted to match the input signal.

Your Prophetview 720 features very low power consumption (<30W in power on mode,
<4W in standby mode) and auto power switch (100~240V).
