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.
This monitor lacks built-in speakers, meaning users will need to rely on external audio solutions such as headphones or separate speakers. While this can be a drawback for some, it also allows users to choose their preferred audio setup for potentially higher quality sound. Consider this limitation if you prefer integrated audio.
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 description mentions 'eye protect technology', suggesting a blue light reduction feature. This function helps to minimize eye strain during prolonged use by filtering out harmful blue light emissions. This is particularly beneficial for users who spend long hours working or gaming, promoting better eye health and comfort over extended periods.
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 monitor stand has a fixed height, meaning it cannot be adjusted to suit different viewing preferences or ergonomic needs. This might be a limitation for users who require specific monitor positioning for optimal comfort. Consider using a separate monitor stand or mount if height adjustability is essential for your 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.
The monitor supports tilt adjustment, allowing users to angle the screen forward or backward for a more comfortable viewing experience. This helps to reduce glare and optimize the viewing angle based on individual preferences and desk setups. Tilt adjustment is a basic but essential feature for ergonomic comfort.
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.
This monitor does not support pivot functionality, meaning it cannot be rotated to a vertical orientation. This feature is useful for tasks like coding or reading long documents, where a vertical screen orientation can improve productivity. The absence of pivot function might limit its usability for specific professional tasks.
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 monitor is VESA mount compatible (100 x 100mm), allowing it to be mounted on a wall or monitor arm for increased flexibility and desk space savings. This is particularly useful for creating a clean and organized workspace, or for users who prefer a customized monitor setup. Ensure the VESA mount is compatible with the monitor's specifications.
