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 does not have built-in speakers, requiring users to use external audio solutions. This can be a drawback for those seeking a streamlined setup without the need for additional devices, as it adds to cable clutter and desk space.
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.
Blue light reduction is not mentioned in the product information. Without this feature, users may experience eye strain and fatigue during extended use, especially in low-light environments. Consider using software-based blue light filters as an alternative.
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 in the product information. The absence of height adjustment may lead to ergonomic issues, as users may not be able to position the monitor at an optimal viewing angle, potentially causing neck and back strain.
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 mentioned in the product information. Without tilt adjustment, users may find it challenging to optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, affecting visibility and comfort in various viewing positions and lighting conditions.
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.
Pivot function is not mentioned in the product information. The absence of a pivot function limits 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 in the product information. The lack of VESA mount compatibility restricts its flexibility in terms of mounting options, limiting it to desk or stand use without the possibility of wall mounting or monitor arm attachment.
