Most air ionizers are rated using square feet. What is the rating of the amount of space in square feet covered by these monitors? I see the e coverage area is 1m³; what is the rating in square feet? Probably 1m³ is tiny compared to air ionizers purchased separately.

When I search the internet for the risks of air ionizers there are plenty of sources saying they can be dangerous because they can produce ozone. I think the article should say something about the risks of air ionizers.

At first I thought your question was silly, then I thought about it and wondered how square feet converts into volumes, since rooms are 3D spaces. I don't want to dig into this rabbit hole too far, but Energy Star says that a standard room in the US is 8 ft., so I assume our sq. ft, measurements use a height of 8.

Basically, this monitor purports to clear the air of dust in an area slightly smaller than the average computer desk in a room of average height (~8 ft.)

Ion air filters still require cleaning. Do they understand that the collected dust still has to go somewhere?
And IDK about you, but I shove my monitor to the back of the desk, making it quite a reach to pull out anything from the back.

There's so much more with ionized air and how it corrodes plastics and electronics around it.
Lastly, the most interesting aspect is how they isolate the line noise induced by running a high AC voltage air ionizer in such close proximity to sensitive DC electronics.

Why are we acting like OLEDs are perfect in this article when they cant even show proper text currently?

I would feel cheated with a 1500$ monitor that shows artifacts around text. Im happy to sit on a pumped VA until OLED gets proper lighting volume and pixel structure.

IPS are rarely sold as high performance gaming monitors anymore, AFAIK. We stayed on TN so long because the downsides of anything better was detrimental to high speed gaming. IPS worth gaming on first appeared around 2012/2013~, and they was expensive , very expensive.

One thing that I consistently do not want is an expensive monitor with caveats. Why shell out so much money for a monitortechnology that is obviously not properly ready for mass market. I just dont get why people want to be guineapigs at premium prices.

You can get a plethora of very good performing gaming monitors for candy prices atm. Because of the OLED hype - exploit it, and get an OLED when it is without caveats.

Spoiler, you breathe highly corrosive and explosive oxygen ALL DAY ;-)
I have a small ionizer here. I cannot really say that it is effective in dust or pollen filtering, but it smells ... fresh ... when I enter the room. Since I sit in a giant pool of electrostatic smog 12 hours every day anyhow ... I'll leave the tinfoil hat in the drawer on this one. What happens to the collected material over time is an issue. On the other hand, if i look what i have to vacuum out of the pc filters...
On the whole, I think it is quite a clever and creative marketing idea, so I give it a 👍for effort and creativity.
I am still waiting for the usb-powered UV-LED-strips to attach to your monitor that give hands and face a tan while you work (i should have patented that before posting)

This is ASUS. so they'll deny ALL warranties worldwide and dare anyone to sue them. As they've been doing with motherboards, 40x and 50x series GPUs etc etc.

Basically they're flouting ALL warranty laws across the world until someone stamps on them HARD. Not worth the effort. I'll just buy MSI or something else.

Why not also build a refrigerator into the monitor now we are being creative. Maybe a cupboard? I would definitely love some catears and a chocolate smell from my monitor. Im currently working on integrating a soda dispenser into my own monitor, such that I just grab the monitor straw and let the juices flow while ingame.

Oh I forgot to mention the straw is of course a certified paper straw , we dont wanna risk the environment while bill and Tim travel the world side by side in each of their private jets. Remember that people are gross, so this is completely reasonable to take 2 planes.

If you did not use the asus certified filter they obviously cannot honor the warranty. I mean, it has to be ultra premium, but standard filter, with an asus logo - else you are PLAYING WITH FIRE !"!!!!!

It will be bundled with a custom 12vhpwr connector!
