Packaging

If you’re a fan of complex box designs and innovative packing solutions; you’ll be disappointed. You simply get a white corrugated box with a slicker telling you the colour choice of the display inside. It’s also worth pointing out that you don’t get a mount with your display; you have to buy it separately. This is probably because this display is aimed at case modders, who are more than likely going to cut a hole in their case, rather than buying a mount from XSPC.

Whilst the packaging is a little lack lustre, it does what it’s meant to do, and that is to keep its contents from harm. On opening the box I was greeted by a red bubble wrapped surprise and a huge spider like network of cables.

On closer inspection, the cable was simply a parallel cable, plus a molex pass-thru power cable and one the other end; the pin plug. Inside the red bubble wrap was the display. It had a small, thin piece of plastic covering the face to protect it from harm. I took it off straight away

The units itself is fairly weighty and is heavy enough to give an impression of quality. The PCB on the back has blobs of black that cover the silicon chips underneath. The pins where you connect the cable are at the top and look a little bit fragile; once the cable is installed, all is well.
