Figure 66—The BenQ XL2720T 27" display
One often-overlooked but very important feature that the XL2720T has is a
pivoting height-adjustable and tiltable arm—no more stacks of topics required
under the base of a monitor to elevate the screen to an ergonomically healthy
level. Oh, and there's a hook on the back of the monitor to hang your headset
and keep it from tangling on your desk.
Connecting the monitor to the computer is as simple as plugging the supplied
DVI cable into either one of the available DVI ports on the GTX 780 Ti. The
monitor also supports HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, but using those requires
the purchase of a separate cable.
Wrap-Up
Installing a graphics card and connecting it to a monitor was pretty easy.
Connecting speakers to our motherboard's audio I/O ports was even easier.
In the next chapter we'll attach the easiest yet most important devices in a
modern computer. Without a mouse and keyboard, we won't get very far on
the BIOS configuration screen that we see when we turn on the computer for
the first time.
In addition to considering which mouse and keyboard to use with our PC,
we'll take a brief look at some additional peripherals in the next chapter.
These enhancements may not be essential to operating our PC, but they sure
will make using the PC an even more awesome experience!
