Features
A function that includes built-in speakers, allowing audio output directly from the monitor. This eliminates the need for external speakers, saving desk space and reducing cable clutter. Convenient for enjoying videos or casual listening without additional equipment.
The built-in speakers provide a convenient way to enjoy audio without the need for external devices. However, the audio quality is generally limited, and users may prefer headphones or external speakers for a better listening experience. The speakers are also blocked by the case.
A function that reduces the amount of blue light emitted from the screen. This can help reduce eye strain and fatigue, especially during long periods of use. Beneficial for users who spend many hours in front of the monitor.
The blue light reduction function helps to reduce eye strain and fatigue during long periods of use. This can be particularly beneficial for users who spend many hours in front of the screen, as it minimizes the harmful effects of blue light exposure. However, one review states that the colors are way off.
A function that allows adjusting the height of the monitor stand. This enables users to position the screen at an ergonomic viewing angle, reducing neck and back strain. Useful for maintaining good posture and comfort during extended use.
The absence of height adjustment may limit the monitor's ergonomic flexibility. Users may need to use external stands or props to achieve an optimal viewing angle, which can be inconvenient in some situations. This is a significant drawback for users who prioritize comfort and ergonomics.
A function that allows tilting the monitor screen forward or backward. This helps to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, improving visibility and comfort. Useful for different viewing positions and lighting conditions.
The tilt adjustment feature allows users to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor for optimal comfort and visibility. This can be particularly useful in different lighting conditions or when using the monitor in various positions. The case also acts as a stand with two grooves for adjusting the angle.
A function that allows rotating the monitor screen 90 degrees to a vertical orientation. This is particularly useful for tasks like reading long documents, coding, or web browsing. It maximizes screen space for vertically oriented content.
The lack of a pivot function means that the monitor cannot be rotated into a vertical orientation. This may be a limitation for users who want to use the monitor for tasks such as coding, reading long documents, or viewing web pages in portrait mode. This is a significant drawback for certain use cases.
A function that allows mounting the monitor on a VESA-compatible wall mount or monitor arm. This frees up desk space and allows for flexible positioning of the monitor. Useful for creating a clean and organized workspace.
The absence of VESA mount compatibility limits the monitor's mounting options. Users will not be able to mount the monitor on a wall or monitor arm, which can be a disadvantage for those who want to save desk space or create a more ergonomic setup. This is a notable limitation for users with specific mounting needs.
