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 offer convenient audio output, eliminating the need for external speakers and reducing cable clutter. However, the audio quality is generally basic, and audiophiles or users seeking immersive sound may prefer external solutions for a richer experience.
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 and fatigue during long periods of use. By filtering out harmful blue light, it promotes more comfortable viewing, especially for users who spend extended hours in front of the screen, enhancing overall eye health and reducing potential discomfort.
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 limits ergonomic flexibility, potentially causing discomfort for users who require specific screen positioning. Without height adjustment, users may need to use external stands or props to achieve an optimal viewing angle, which can be inconvenient and less stable.
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.
Tilt adjustment allows users to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, improving visibility and comfort. This flexibility is beneficial for different viewing positions and lighting conditions, ensuring a more comfortable and ergonomic experience, especially during extended use.
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 restricts the monitor's versatility for tasks like coding or document editing, where a vertical screen orientation can be beneficial. Without pivot functionality, users miss out on the ergonomic and productivity benefits of a vertical display setup, limiting its usability in certain scenarios.
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 allows users to mount the monitor on a wall or monitor arm, freeing up desk space and providing flexible positioning options. This is particularly useful for creating a clean and organized workspace, enhancing ergonomics, and optimizing viewing angles for a more comfortable and efficient setup.
