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 lacks built-in speakers, requiring external audio solutions. This might be inconvenient for users who prefer integrated audio, but it allows for higher quality audio through dedicated speakers or headphones, providing a more immersive experience.
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 absence of a blue light reduction function may cause eye strain during long usage periods. Users may need to rely on software-based solutions or external filters to mitigate blue light emissions, which can be less effective than built-in features.
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 does not offer height adjustment, which may limit ergonomic flexibility. Users might need to use external stands or mounts to achieve an optimal viewing angle, potentially adding to the overall cost and setup complexity.
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. This helps reduce glare and improve visibility, ensuring a more comfortable and ergonomic experience during extended use, adapting to different viewing positions.
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 monitor's versatility for tasks that benefit from a vertical screen orientation, such as coding or document editing. Users who require this functionality may need to consider alternative monitors or external rotating stands.
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 allows users to mount the monitor on a wall or monitor arm, freeing up desk space and providing flexible positioning options. This is particularly useful for creating a clean and organized workspace, enhancing ergonomics and overall setup aesthetics.
