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 provide a convenient audio solution for everyday use, eliminating the need for external speakers and reducing desk clutter. However, the audio quality is generally basic and may not satisfy users seeking a more immersive sound experience. For serious audio needs, headphones or external speakers are recommended.
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 function helps to minimize eye strain and fatigue during prolonged use, making it beneficial for users who spend long hours in front of the screen. This feature can reduce the amount of blue light emitted by the monitor, which is known to disrupt sleep patterns and cause discomfort. However, the effectiveness of this feature may vary.
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 monitor's ergonomic flexibility, potentially causing discomfort for users who cannot position the screen at an optimal viewing angle. Users may need to use external stands or monitor arms to achieve the desired height, adding to the overall cost. This can be a significant drawback for users prioritizing ergonomic comfort.
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 feature allows users to adjust the viewing angle of the monitor, reducing glare and improving visibility. This can enhance comfort and reduce eye strain, especially in environments with varying lighting conditions. However, the range of tilt adjustment may be limited compared to more advanced ergonomic stands.
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 restricts the monitor's ability to rotate into a vertical orientation, which can be useful for tasks such as coding, document editing, or viewing social media feeds. This limitation may be a drawback for users who frequently work with vertically oriented content or require a more versatile display setup.
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 greater flexibility in positioning the display. This feature is particularly useful for creating a clean and organized workspace or for users who prefer a multi-monitor setup. However, a VESA mount is not included and must be purchased separately.
