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 convenient audio output for on-the-go use, eliminating the need for external speakers. While the audio quality may not be exceptional, it is sufficient for casual listening, video conferencing, and presentations. This feature enhances the monitor's portability and ease of use.
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 prolonged use, making it ideal for users who spend many hours in front of the screen. This feature enhances comfort and reduces potential long-term eye health issues, promoting a more comfortable viewing experience.
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 ergonomic flexibility, potentially requiring external stands or adjustments to achieve an optimal viewing angle. This could impact user comfort, especially during extended use, as the monitor's height cannot be adjusted to match individual preferences or desk setups.
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 absence of tilt adjustment may limit the ability to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare in various lighting conditions. This could affect visibility and comfort, as the screen angle cannot be adjusted to suit different viewing positions or environments.
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 ability to rotate to a vertical orientation, limiting its usability for tasks like reading long documents or coding. This function would have enhanced productivity for tasks benefiting from a vertical screen orientation.
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 lack of VESA mount compatibility limits mounting options, restricting it to desk or stand use without the possibility of wall mounting or monitor arm attachment. This reduces flexibility in creating a clean and organized workspace, as the monitor cannot be easily mounted to save desk space.
