I really wish companies would stop selling monitors with their logo placed obnoxiously on the front. I don't care if they put the logo on any other part of the display, but why do they have to ruin the front of it? I really love looking at plain black slabs, with nothing to distract me from the content within.
I want to buy a couple of monitors and mount them. But there's just one small thing stopping me. I don't know if it's just me, but something feels wrong about rotating a monitor with such a prominent logo.
- stinos 13y agoJust paint the logo black. Or as close as you can get to the rest of the front's color. I'm doing this on all my Dells (using a paint marker), including a dot over the light of the power button.
- Theodores 13y agoI think this is a problem too. I can understand the manufacturers wanting their logo on the bottom though. If I was a screen manufacturer I would have a speaker bar on the bottom that has the logo and a few easy brightness controls on it - total Fisher Price usability. I would then add in a feature for the pros - have it so the speaker/controls bar can be folded up under the screen. In that way people that like their bling logos could have the logo on view, those that just want a panel can have no distractions. If engineered nicely you could have USB and video inputs on the drop-down bar made accessible from the front.
- Shivetya 13y agoWhen selling in retail how will people know whose monitor they are looking at? Logos serve many purposes, but in the wild they are a good source of marketing. Should we ask them to not brand even the box the CPU comes in? At most they could make the logo easily removable, too me that would be a fair compromise.
