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 absence of built-in speakers means users will need to rely on external speakers or headphones for audio. While this might be a drawback for some, it can be mitigated by using higher-quality external audio solutions, offering potentially better sound quality.
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 inclusion of Eye Saver Mode minimizes blue light emissions, reducing eye strain and fatigue during extended use. This is particularly beneficial for gamers and users who spend long hours in front of the screen, promoting better eye health and comfort.
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 adjustable stand allows users to customize the monitor's height for optimal viewing angles, promoting better ergonomics and reducing neck strain. This is especially useful for maintaining a comfortable posture during long gaming sessions or work periods.
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 enables users to adjust the screen's angle, optimizing visibility and reducing glare in various lighting conditions. This enhances viewing comfort and ensures a clear image, regardless of the environment.
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 like coding or reading long documents, where a vertical screen orientation can be beneficial. Users may need to consider alternative solutions for such tasks, as this monitor is primarily designed for horizontal use.
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 restricts mounting options, limiting users to the included stand. This reduces flexibility in terms of desk space management and monitor positioning, potentially impacting ergonomic setups and overall workspace organization.
SHOPSTAFF Rating Score
