The perks of a laptop over a traditional desktop PC are obvious. You have complete flexibility to move about and change up where you work. This could mean just different rooms or furniture of your apartment or different states or countries. Go anywhere, work anywhere. That said, I find I get my best work done when I’m at home at my desk. That’s partly because my workstations I’ve set up has a couple of large monitors to work off from. Do yourself and favor and secure this Asus curved monitor for 14% off. Normally sold for $429, you can currently find it on Amazon at a cool $60 off. That means you only end up having to pay $369 for a limited time.
With this monitor from Asus, you get a reasonably large 34-inch screen that is curved and capable of 1440p resolution. If you’ve never used a curved monitor, and think of them as nothing more than a gimmick, you could not be more wrong. The curvature of the screen better mimics the way our eyes interpret the world around. We call it “around us” after all.
USB-C to Do It All
Now, this Asus monitor is really made for those laptop users. Those who jump back and forth between being seated at their desk and lounging on the couch with their laptop in their, well, lap. That’s because this Asus curved monitor is built around its USB-C port.
Not only can the USB-C transmit data and video signal between the two devices. It also enables 96W charging. That’s right. When you come to sit down at your desk, all you need to do is plug the USB-C cable into your laptop. No need to unravel your power cord from your messenger bag. No need to meddle around with other cables. Just the one USB-C cable handles it all.
For extended connectivity options, the Asus monitor will support connecting over either HDMI or DisplayPort, in addition to its USB-C. It also comes equipped with an earphone jack, USB hub, and RJ45 LAN port for more flexibility.
The monitor is designed with ergonomics in mind. It’s built with tilt, swivel, and height adjustments. This way, you can ensure a comfortable viewing experience now matter how you are sitting or standing.
