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 may require external audio solutions, adding to the setup complexity and potentially reducing portability. Users may need to carry separate speakers or rely on headphones for audio output.
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 minimize eye strain and fatigue during prolonged use, making it suitable for long work sessions or extended viewing. This can improve overall comfort and reduce potential health issues associated with blue light exposure.
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 limit ergonomic flexibility, potentially leading to discomfort during extended use. Users may need to use external stands or props to achieve an optimal viewing angle, which can be inconvenient.
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 optimize the viewing angle and reduce glare, improving visibility and comfort in various viewing positions and lighting conditions. This enhances the overall user experience by providing a more customizable setup.
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 restricts the monitor's ability to rotate to a vertical orientation, limiting its usability for tasks like reading long documents or coding. This may be a drawback for users who require vertical screen space for specific applications.
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 provides flexibility in mounting options, allowing users to attach the monitor to a wall or monitor arm for a cleaner workspace and improved ergonomics. This feature enhances the monitor's adaptability to different environments and user preferences.
