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 basic audio functionality, which is convenient for users who don't want to use external speakers. However, the sound quality is generally not as good as dedicated speakers or headphones, so audiophiles may want to invest in external audio solutions. The speakers are adequate for casual listening and basic audio needs.
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 reduce eye strain during long gaming sessions or work periods. By filtering out blue light, the monitor can help prevent eye fatigue and improve sleep quality. This feature is beneficial for users who spend many hours in front of the screen and want to minimize potential eye damage.
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. The lack of height adjustment may also lead to discomfort or strain during extended use, especially for users with specific ergonomic needs.
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 function allows users to adjust the viewing angle for optimal comfort and visibility. By tilting the screen forward or backward, users can reduce glare and improve their viewing experience. This feature is particularly useful for users who have different viewing preferences or who use the monitor in various lighting conditions.
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 absence of a pivot function limits the monitor's versatility for tasks such as coding or document editing, where a vertical screen orientation can be beneficial. Users who frequently work with vertically oriented content may find this limitation inconvenient. The lack of a pivot function may also reduce the monitor's appeal for users who want to maximize their screen space for specific applications.
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.
VESA mount compatibility provides flexibility in how the monitor is mounted, allowing users to attach it to a wall or monitor arm. This can free up desk space and improve ergonomics. The VESA mount option is particularly useful for users who want to create a clean and organized workspace or who need to position the monitor in a specific way.
