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 monitor lacks built-in speakers, requiring external audio solutions. This can be a drawback for users who prefer the convenience of integrated audio, as it necessitates the use of headphones or external speakers, adding to desk clutter and setup complexity.
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 feature helps minimize eye strain and fatigue during extended use, making it suitable for long work sessions or gaming marathons. This function reduces the emission of blue light, which is known to cause eye discomfort and sleep disturbances.
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 the ergonomic flexibility of the monitor, potentially causing discomfort for users who require specific viewing angles. Users may need to use external stands or mounts to achieve an optimal viewing height, adding to the overall cost.
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 screen angle for optimal viewing comfort and reduced glare. This is particularly useful in environments with varying lighting conditions, ensuring a clear and comfortable visual experience for different viewing positions.
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 restricts the monitor's ability to rotate into a vertical orientation, limiting its usability for tasks such as coding, document editing, or web browsing, where a vertical screen orientation can enhance productivity and viewing comfort.
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 beneficial for creating a clean and organized workspace, as well as optimizing viewing angles and ergonomics.
