Imagine your monitor doing more than displaying visuals. ASUS just announced the VU series, a new line of monitors that purify the air you breathe while delivering beautiful displays. Air-cleaning monitors are now a reality.
Say Hello to the ASUS VU Series: Monitors That Care About Your Air
ASUS is targeting everyday office users with the game-changing VU series. Three models are available, each designed to suit different needs:
- VU249HFI-W: The Mini Cleaner (23.8-inch) - Ideal for smaller tables, this 23.8-inch monitor offers air-purifying technology and a spotless Full HD (1980 x 1080) IPS panel. It does not compromise performance for size.
- VU279HFI-W: The Balanced Performer (27-inch) - This 27-inch model provides more screen space while maintaining a Full HD IPS panel and air purification functions. It offers a balanced user experience.
- VU34WCIP-W: The Immersive Air Expert (34-inch Curved) - For users preferring larger displays, the 34-inch curved monitor offers an immersive perspective. It features WQHD (3440 x 1440) resolution, USB Type-C connectivity, and air purification.
Air Purification: How It Works
The key feature is built-in air purification. These monitors use ionization to cleanse the air. Air is drawn in behind the screen, and ions are released. These ions attract particles such as allergens and dust. This process reduces these particles in your immediate area. ASUS states a reduction of up to 90% of these particles. Notably, these monitors use a novel method of air purification without traditional replaceable air filters.
More Than Just Clean Air: Display Features Too
ASUS has prioritized display quality alongside air purification. All VU series models include:
- SmoothMotion 100Hz Refresh Rate: Providing smoother visuals for everyday use, this refresh rate is faster than standard 60Hz.
- Fast 1ms MPRT Response Time: Motion on screen remains clear and sharp with this fast response time.
- Color Vision Deficiency Modes: ASUS prioritizes accessibility by including special color vision deficiency modes to assist users with color vision deficiencies.
Clever Packaging for an Eco-Conscious World
ASUS extends eco-consciousness to packaging. The boxes are designed for recyclability. Depending on the monitor size, the cardboard box can be repurposed as a desk holder for items such as papers, phones, or laptops. This detail reflects attention to eco-friendliness.
A Breath of Fresh Air in the Monitor Market
The ASUS VU line of monitors is noteworthy. They focus on creating a healthier work experience, going beyond pixels and refresh rates. For those concerned about indoor air quality or simply seeking innovative technology, these air-purifying monitors are a valuable consideration.
