[5] It is the only display to use the HDI-45 connector[citation needed] (which Apple called the Integrated Desktop Connector), capable of transferring video to the screen, video capture input from an S-Video source, audio output, audio input, and Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) all through one cable, with plug and play support.

[5] A unidirectional microphone is built-into the top of the monitor, meant to be used for voice annotation in programs like Microsoft Word.

These speakers are accompanied by an active equalizer, and are angled for "near-field use" (i.e. for a user sitting at the computer, rather than presentations).
