ASUS monitors are designed with your eyes in mind. Keeping your eyes healthy in today's digital world.
Whether in the home or office, we find ourselves staring at computer monitors for hours on end. Today's digital lifestyle brings with it increased health risks, especially for our eyes. Being in front of a computer all day increases the risk of Computer Vision Syndrome(CVS).
ASUS Eye Care technology has been designed to prevent CVS symptoms caused by prolonged computer use. With ASUS Eye Care technology, ASUS monitors ensure a comfortable viewing experience while keeping your eyes healthy at the same time.
ASUS Low Blue Light Technology Protects You from Harmful Blue Light
How does blue light damage your eyes?
The cornea, situated at the front of the eye, is a transparent cover that protects your iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Light passes through the cornea and pupil before the crystalline lens focuses it on the retina.
High-energy blue-violet light in the narrow 415-455nm band is particularly damaging to eyes, in particular the lens and retina. The blue band of the light spectrum yields more energy and can pass straight through your eye – resulting in myopia and macular degeneration.
Blue light from monitors may cause eye damage, strains, headaches, and sleep disorders. Children are more susceptible to eye damage because their crystalline lens is less effective in filtering out blue-light, adding to the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
ASUS Low Blue Light Technology – Blue Light Filter
ASUS researchers have been hard at work trying to determine the right amount of blue light reduction for various tasks; the latest ASUS Low Blue Light Monitors feature an OSD menu that allows you to access four different Blue Light Filter settings onscreen.
Level 0 is standard mode.
Level 1 is ideal for normal web browsing, and gives you
excellent color reproduction for lifelike visuals, minimal color shift.
Level 2 is ideal when you're viewing photos and videos, giving you a
perfect balance of high image quality.
Level 3 gives you the look of real paper, making it ideal for
long hours of reading or word processing.
Level 4 is ideal for environments with dim ambient light.
ASUS Flicker-Free Technology Prevents Monitor Flickering
Flicker is caused by the rapid on/off cycle of the LED backlight as it tries to maintain the brightness of the display. Flicker is more noticeable when the display is set to low brightness settings.
How does flicker affect your eyes?
Flicker constantly bombards the human eye with drastic change in brightness. These changes in light intensity cause the pupil to expand and contract, thereby causing eye fatigue, strain, and headaches.
ASUS Flicker-Free Technology
ASUS Flicker-Free technology uses Smart Dynamic Backlight Adjustment to reduce flicker for a comfortable viewing experience. Smart Dynamic Backlight Adjustment avoids low brightness levels that lead to high-speed LED backlight flashing.
Monitors with ASUS Flicker-Free technology protect you from eye fatigue, irritation and strains. This technology gives you flicker-free monitors so you work on spreadsheets, play games, or watch videos comfortably for hours on end.
ASUS A+ Anti-Glare Panel Helps Prevent Tired Eyes
How does a glossy screen affect your eyes?
Smooth, glossy surfaces tend to reflect light back directly and cause unwanted reflections and glare. These aren't only annoying and distracting, but can be the source of eye strain and fatigue.
How does the ASUS A+ Anti-Glare panel help?
ASUS A+ Anti-Glare panel uses a rough matte surface to dissipate reflected light, making it easier for you to see what's onscreen and reducing eye fatigue in the process. The panel effectively reduces reflections and glare in bright environments, be it under direct sunlight or those from fluorescent light bulbs.
User Ergonomics Play a Part Too
ASUS Ergonomic Monitors are designed for your comfort.
Improper posture could lead to numbness in your fingers, headaches and lower back, shoulder or neck pains. In addition, having your monitor set at a wrong height or angle can strain your eyes.
All of the symptoms mentioned above may be relieved simply by adopting the correct body posture at your workstation. ASUS monitors feature a smart ergonomic design with full tilt, pivot, swivel, and height adjustments to give you the ideal viewing position whether you're surfing the net, viewing pictures, watching movies, or getting work done.
