The SCALEOVIEW Q22W-1 display offers a rich set of connections. In addition to the standard integrated PC interfaces D-Sub and DVI, a number of other entertainment media devices can easily be connected to the display, thanks to S-Video and Composite Video ports for video recorders and video cameras, and HDMI and DVI interfaces for viewing HDCP-encrypted films. The Q22W-1 is also ideal for use as a high-resolution TV when coupled with a set-top box, gaming console such as the SONY PS3 or the new generation of HD-DVD players.

An integrated LED shows when the camera is recording and images can be seen in a picture-in-picture display, and a blue LED illuminates when data is being transferred from the camera to a connected PC. The 22-inch screen provides ample room for side-by-side viewing of multiple applications, such as email, a web browser and a multimedia player, and thanks to a colorfast, high-contrast panel, the monitor can be used to enjoy movies in TV quality, while adding an extra layer of excitement to action games.
