- One of many displays is a WQHD ultrawide, which makes use of a VA panel for higher distinction
Asus is shaking issues up with its displays, not solely by specializing in excessive refresh charges and good response occasions but additionally by introducing an revolutionary characteristic that goals to enhance indoor air high quality – and it might be one thing that different displays ought to copy.
As highlighted by Notebookcheck, Asus has launched three new displays underneath the VU collection: the VU249HFI-W (24-inch), VU279HFI-W (27-inch), and the VU34WCIP-W (34-inch WQHD ultrawide), all of which preserve a 100Hz refresh price and 1ms MPRT response time – however these aren’t simply any extraordinary displays – they reap the benefits of Asus’ new built-in air ionizer design.
Asus claims this removes as much as 90% of airborne mud, resulting in more energizing air which could possibly be extremely useful for workplace areas and gaming setups. That is potential due to ‘Revolutionary Nano-Ion Expertise’ that doesn’t require a filter, and as a substitute makes use of destructive ions to eradicate mud, pollen, and allergens – basically, these displays will draw air in from their rear to refine your room’s air high quality.
Each the VU249HFI-W and the VU279HFI-W use IPS panels, that are vivid and designed for higher colour accuracy – nevertheless, the VU34WCIP-W will use a VA panel, which is healthier for greater distinction ratios and response occasions (it is nonetheless 1ms MPRT on this case) together with VRR (Variable Refresh Charge) to make sure that the refresh price matches the body price of gaming or video content material.
The specs of those new displays might not be the very best when in comparison with different high-end shows from Asus, nevertheless it’s nonetheless adequate to cater to productiveness, gaming, and video content material makes use of. It’s additionally a great way for Asus to check its new expertise on a monitor with out all of the bells and whistles (at a low value), with hopes that it turns into a newfound success that conjures up different producers to comply with go well with.
Now, simply use this expertise on gaming displays, and I will be completely satisfied
It is perhaps simple to dismiss Asus’ efforts right here as merely a gimmick, particularly when you’re extra enthusiastic about enhancements when it comes to show high quality – however I might argue it is a nice innovation.
I am absolutely conscious that there’s a likelihood it will not be broadly adopted by Asus for its different displays or by different producers – however this might assist scale back the mud buildup I am positive all of us hate with our desktop setups. If this protects me from having to frequently clear my desktop (and the desk itself), then I’d be very considering utilizing certainly one of these displays sooner or later.
Worth and availability are presently dependent in your area, however the standout selection for me, the VU34WCIP-W mannequin, is presently accessible at varied US retailers for $359 (round £280 / AU$570).
Ultrawide displays with 3440×1440 resolutions have all the time been my go-to for productiveness and gaming – and do not get me mistaken, I might by no means select this over my Alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED or the PG49WCD tremendous ultrawide monitor Asus despatched me for testing, nevertheless it has me hoping this could in some way be used for gaming displays. Let’s simply hope the air-purifying high quality is sweet sufficient (and subsequently proves in style sufficient with customers) to make {that a} actuality.
