Asus has launched a series of monitors with a built-in Nano-ion generator designed to clean the air around your desk. These monitors promise to remove up to 90% of airborne dust in three hours, making them an interesting option for those looking to improve air quality while working.
Health and Environmental Benefits
The VU Air Ionizer monitors feature nano-ion technology that pulls air in, ionizes it, and removes pollutants like pollen and allergens within a one-square-meter area. Unlike traditional air purifiers, these monitors work without filters, offering a more convenient solution.
In addition to air purifying, these monitors include Eye Care Plus technology, which reduces eye strain with a blue-light filter and flicker-free display. A Rest Reminder feature encourages users to take breaks, helping to prevent eye fatigue. The Color Augmentation feature is also useful for individuals with color blindness, enhancing the screen’s visibility for them.
Eco-Friendly Design
Asus has made an effort to reduce environmental impact with reusable packaging. The boxes for the 24- and 27-inch models can be repurposed as phone holders, laptop stands, or desk organizers. The larger 34-inch model provides all three plus a file holder, helping to reduce packaging waste.
Monitor Specifications and Pricing
The monitors are available іn three sizes: 24-inch, 27-inch, and a 34-inch curved ultrawide model. The two smaller models offer 1920 x 1080 resolution, while the ultrawide model has a 3440 x 1440 resolution. All monitors have a 100Hz refresh rate and a 1ms response time, suitable for casual gaming but not ideal for competitive gamers.
The 24-inch and 27-inch models feature two HDMI 1.4 ports and an earphone jack. The 34-inch ultrawide model, however, offers more connectivity options, including a DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 2.0, USB-C port with DP Alt Mode, and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports. It also provides PD 65W via USB-C, enabling you tо charge your laptop while using the monitor.
Despite their unique air-purifying feature, these monitors remain affordable, making them a good choice for those looking for a cleaner workspace and a reliable display.
