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 users to rely on external speakers or headphones for audio. This can be inconvenient for users who prefer an all-in-one solution without additional peripherals.
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 absence of a blue light reduction function may cause eye strain and fatigue during long gaming sessions or extended use. Users may need to use software-based solutions or external filters to mitigate blue light emissions.
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.
Height adjustment is not mentioned, potentially limiting ergonomic options. Users might need to use a separate stand to achieve an optimal viewing height, impacting desk space and setup convenience.
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 is not specified, which may restrict the ability to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare. This can affect visibility and comfort, especially in different lighting conditions or 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 monitor does not support pivot functionality, limiting its usability for tasks like reading long documents or coding, where a vertical screen orientation can be beneficial for maximizing screen space.
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 is not mentioned, restricting mounting options to the included stand. This limits flexibility in terms of desk space management and monitor positioning, as wall mounting or monitor arm attachments are not supported.
