The frame around the monitor is a dry erase board and just the best thing ever. Have you even needed to jot something down and couldn't find a piece of paper? Or wrote on a small piece of paper and LOST it? Well, here's the answer just jot it on your frame and WIPE IT OFF later. I have used mine for over 5 years now and don't know what I would do without it. Makes a great gift as well. Click on the photo to see all the colors.
