User-Friendly Controls Support All Student Needs
Teachers and students can control the interface with six buttons on the lower right front of the monitor — a power button, plus five others that serve as shortcuts to game settings (such as profiles, overdrive and on-screen frame rate), input toggle, on-screen refresh rate options, brightness and color settings, and main on-screen display menu.
These convenient controls allow schools to accommodate students’ individual needs. For example, while a student in my video game design class prefers her screen brightness set to high and requires extreme frame rate when testing a video game, a student in my 3D modeling and animation class who gets frequent headaches prefers the lowest screen brightness level possible.
Myriad of Inputs Achieve Ideal Audio Quality
There three USB ports: one under the monitor and two on the left side. There is a 3.5mm audio input on the left, which can connect to headphones and headsets for TRS and TRRS output, respectively, providing 24 bits at 48 kilohertz microphone input. I plugged in a gaming headset during testing, and once I mixed the sounds, the audio was perfect. Other online gamers commented on the clarity of my audio output. When I took a break, I hung my headphones on the convenient 2.5-inch retractable headphone hook hidden on the left side of the monitor. Just flip it out when needed.
Adjustable Monitor Fits to All Preferences
The monitor’s stand has a black, V-shaped metal base that looks as stylish and tough as a stealth bomber. Three holes on each side of the V accentuate a blue plastic layer lining the bottom of the base, giving the display a unique aesthetic.
When it comes to setup and placement options, the Legion offers a lot of flexibility. The monitor attaches to a cylindrical post that is 13 inches tall and about 2 inches in diameter. The monitor can be raised and lowered to the user’s preferred height. It can also tilt up to 30 degrees, swivel and rotate 180 degrees.
