Four, round, red control buttons can be seen at the top, one, closest to the viewer, is larger than the others. Two small pale grey circles can be seen in the botton center of the black border, one, furthest from the viewer, is larger than the other. A small white rectangular reflection is visible in the top right corner of the black screen border.
