Know before you buy
The display connects via a standard HDMI cable for the video signal and an internal USB 2.0 header for power and data. It functions as a secondary monitor, so your graphics card must have an available HDMI port.
Yes, the frame is designed with 105mm mounting hole spacing, which aligns with the standard screw pattern of 120mm fans. This allows you to mount it directly onto a radiator or any case fan slot that supports 120mm fans.
Because the system recognizes it as a standard secondary desktop display, you can show anything you would on a normal monitor. Most users utilize third-party software like AIDA64 or HWiNFO to display real-time system vitals, but you can also use it for wallpapers, videos, or static images.
Yes, the unit is compatible with a 90-degree rotation bracket. You can adjust the orientation within your operating system's display settings to match your preferred mounting position.
The CNC-machined nickel-plated aluminum frame provides a premium, durable finish that matches other nickel-plated components in the EK-Quantum line. While it is primarily for aesthetics, the aluminum construction also offers a rigid, high-quality housing for the IPS panel.
The display is plug-and-play and compatible with any operating system that supports standard HDMI displays. However, software used to monitor system vitals, such as AIDA64, is typically Windows-based.
