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 product information does not mention built-in speakers, requiring users to use external audio solutions. This might be inconvenient for users who prefer an all-in-one solution without additional peripherals, especially in minimalist setups.
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 product information does not explicitly mention a blue light reduction function. Users concerned about eye strain during long sessions may need to rely on third-party software or monitor settings, if available, 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.
The product information does not mention height adjustment. Users may need to use an external stand or monitor arm to achieve an ergonomic viewing position, which could add to the overall cost and complexity of the setup.
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 a standard feature that allows users to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor for optimal comfort and visibility. This helps reduce glare and ensures a comfortable viewing experience in various lighting conditions and seating 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 product information does not mention a pivot function. The absence of this feature limits the monitor's usability for tasks like coding or reading long documents, 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.
The product information does not mention VESA mount compatibility. The lack of VESA mounting limits the monitor's flexibility in terms of placement, restricting it to the included stand and preventing wall mounting or use with monitor arms for improved ergonomics and desk space management.
