One of the highlights of the SyncMaster 920T TFT-LCD Monitor is the ability to pivot and rotate this monitor into different positions. The viewable portion of the LCD is connected to an adjustable arch which allows consumers to tilt the position of the monitor 178°/178° degrees. The base of the monitor itself can pivot approximately 90° degrees which allow consumers to switch from standard portrait viewing to full landscape mode. The landscape mode is perfect for reading e-mails and viewing the entire body of a website.

At the bottom of the Samsung SyncMaster 920T TFT-LCD Monitor are two sets of 1.5W speakers which have been integrated into the feet of what Samsung calls its "Magic Stand". The speakers are powered by an internal stereo amplifier and provide a decent level of sound which is perfect for standard applications and everyday use. If you are into high performance gaming or want higher sound quality to compliment watching a movie or TV, it is recommended to use an external sound source. For consumers who wish to use this monitor but keep the noise level to a minimum, Samsung has added an Audio in port, Headphone and a Volume Control knob on the left hand side of the 920T.
