The HP EliteDisplay E222 is a 21.5-inch Full HD monitor, not a computer. It cannot run applications on its own and needs a separate PC connected to it. The Thinvent products below are industrial computers that can serve as that PC, pairing with an E222 monitor for a compact, rugged workstation setup.
