Asus debuts a new monitor, the VU279CFE, unveiling a strong emphasis on sustainability by fashioning its casing from recycled materials.
Crafting modern electronic devices often entails hefty resource consumption. Manufacturing computing chips involve rare, high-purity materials, while the norm for casings is plastic. Introducing the VU279CFE, Asus champions sustainability in its construction, prioritizing recycled materials, and even extending this ethos to its packaging.
Beyond its eco-conscious design, the VU279CFE IPS monitor caters to general usage, ideal for office settings. Asus touts its compact form factor, foreseeing it as a sleek addition to any desktop.
Technically, the Asus VU279CFE boasts a 27-inch IPS panel sporting FHD (1920 x 1080) resolution, Adaptive-Sync, a USB Type-C port with 15-watt power delivery, and a 100 Hz maximum refresh rate, promising notably smoother visuals than conventional 60 Hz monitors.
The DisplayWidget Center app, according to Asus, allows customized adjustments to the display. Their Eye Care Plus monitor integrates an adaptable blue light filter and specialized modes aimed at reducing eye strain.
Price and release date
The Asus VU279CFE is now available for $169 on Amazon.com and Bhphotovideo.com, as well as for £179 on Amazon.co.uk, albeit without any specified availability details.
