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 built-in speakers offer a convenient way to have audio without needing external devices. The sound quality is adequate for basic use such as video calls or watching videos, but don't expect high fidelity. For serious audio needs, external speakers or headphones are recommended, as the built-in speakers lack bass and can sound tinny at higher volumes.
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 to reduce eye strain during prolonged use, making it more comfortable for long work sessions or viewing content. This feature filters out some of the blue light emitted by the screen, which can interfere with sleep patterns and cause eye fatigue. It's beneficial for users who spend many hours in front of the monitor.
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. Users may need to use external stands or props to achieve an optimal viewing angle, which can be inconvenient. This can lead to discomfort or strain if the monitor is not at the correct height for the user's setup. Consider this limitation if you require precise ergonomic adjustments.
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 allows users to adjust the viewing angle for optimal comfort and visibility. This helps to reduce glare and improve the viewing experience in different lighting conditions. The ability to tilt the screen can also help with posture, as it allows users to angle the screen to better align with their eye level, reducing neck strain.
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 means the monitor cannot be rotated into a vertical orientation. This limits its usability for tasks such as coding, reading long documents, or viewing social media feeds that are better suited for a vertical display. Consider this limitation if you frequently work with vertically oriented content.
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 absence of VESA mount compatibility restricts the monitor to desk or stand use. This limits its flexibility in terms of mounting options, preventing it from being mounted on a wall or monitor arm to save desk space or achieve a more ergonomic setup. Consider this limitation if you prefer a more flexible mounting solution.
