- ASUS has launched three new screens using its new built-in air ionizer technology
- Asus claims it removes up to 90% of airborne dust in indoor environments
- One of the screens is a wqhd -ultrawide that uses a VA panel for better contrast
Asus shakes things up with its screens, not only by focusing on high update speeds and good response times, but also by introducing an innovative feature aimed at improving indoor air quality – and it may be something that other screens have to copy.
As highlighted by NotebookCheck, ASUS has launched three new screens under the VU series: The VU249HFI-W (24-inch)At VU279HFI-W (27-inch)and VU34WCIP-W (34-inch WQHD Ultrawide)Like all, a 100Hz update speed and 1ms MPRT respond time – but these are not just any common screens – they benefit from ASUS ‘new built -in air ionic scheme design.
Asus claims this removes up to 90% of the airborne dust, leading to fresher air, which can be very beneficial for office space and game setups. This is possible thanks to ‘innovative nanoion -ion technology’ that does not require a filter and instead uses negative ions to eliminate dust, pollen and allergens -essentially, these screens will draw air from their rear to refine your room’s air quality.
Both VU249HFI-W and VU279HFI-W use IPS panels, which are bright and designed for larger color fleet-vu34wcip-w, however, will use a VA panel, which is better for higher contrast conditions and response times (it is still 1ms MPRT in this case) including VRR ( the frames of gaming or video content.
The specifications of these new screens may not be the best compared to other advanced ASUS screens, but it is still good enough to accommodate productivity, games and video content uses. It is also a great way for Asus to test his new technology on a screen without all bells and whistles (at a low price), with the hope that it will be a newly won success that inspires other producers to follow.
Now just use this technology on game monitors and I’ll be happy
It can be easy to reject Asus’ efforts here as just a gimmick, especially if you are more excited about improvements in terms of view quality – but I would argue that this is a great innovation.
I am fully aware that there is a chance that it will not be adopted largely by ASUS for its other screens or other manufacturers – but this can help reduce the dust structure, I am sure we all hate our desktop setups. If this saves me from having to regularly clean my desk (and the desk itself), I would be very interested in using one of these screens in the future.
Price and accessibility are currently dependent on your region, but the prominent choice for me, the VU34WCIP-W model is currently available by various US retailers for $ 359 (about £ 280 / AU $ 570).
Ultrawide screens with 3440×1440 solutions have always been my go-to for productivity and gaming and don’t get me wrong, I would never choose this over my alienware AW3423DWF QD-OLED, or PG49WCD Super Ultrawide Monitor Asus sent me for testing, but it has me to hope this may be a way to be used to play MIZITOR. Let’s just hope that the aerial quality is good enough (and therefore turns out to be popular enough with consumers) to make it a reality.
