Product Overview
MSI PRO MP242 is an affordable IPS monitor designed for commercial, professional, and educational use, with an emphasis on eye protection attested by its TUV low blue light and flicker-free certification.
The PRO MP242 exists in three variants that differ in the stands with which that they come: the standard PRO MP242 and the PRO MP242V have tilt-able stands with different degrees of adjustability, while the PRO MP242P features a stand that is height-, tilt-, swivel-, and pivot-adjustable. The three variants are otherwise identical.
The PRO MP242 has a 100x100mm VESA mount which, besides allowing the monitor to be mounted on any compatible stand, is compatible with many mini PCs.
