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 absence of built-in speakers means users will need to rely on external audio solutions such as headphones or portable speakers. This can add to the overall cost and complexity of the setup, especially for on-the-go use. External speakers can provide better audio quality but require additional space and cables.
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.
Without a blue light reduction function, users may experience eye strain and fatigue during extended use, especially in the evenings. Consider using software-based blue light filters on your connected devices to mitigate this issue. These filters can reduce the amount of blue light emitted from the screen, promoting better sleep and reducing eye discomfort.
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 lack of height adjustment may require users to use external stands or props to achieve an ergonomic viewing angle. This can be inconvenient and may not provide a stable setup. Consider using a laptop stand or adjustable arm to raise the screen to eye level, reducing 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.
The tilt adjustment function allows users to adjust the screen angle for optimal viewing comfort and reduced glare. This is particularly useful in environments with varying lighting conditions. Adjusting the tilt can help improve visibility and reduce eye strain, making it easier to work or view content for extended periods.
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 absence of a pivot function limits the screen's versatility for tasks such as coding or reading long documents in portrait mode. This feature can be beneficial for maximizing screen real estate and improving workflow for certain applications. Consider whether your typical usage scenarios would benefit from a vertical screen orientation.
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 lack of VESA mount compatibility restricts the screen to being used with its included stand or attachment mechanism. This limits flexibility in terms of mounting options and may not be suitable for users who prefer to mount their monitors on a wall or monitor arm to save desk space. VESA mounting can also provide a more ergonomic setup.
