The HP EliteDisplay E222 is a 21.5-inch monitor with a 1920 x 1080 PLS panel, a 50 Hz to 75 Hz refresh rate and 178° viewing angles. It is a display, not a computer, so the closest Thinvent match is a compact computer that can drive a monitor of this size. The Thinvent Aero Mini PC with Intel Core i3-1215U and the Thinvent IPC3 with the same processor are the closest matches for a desk or industrial display setup.
