The growing number of air purifier designs in the market points to a trend where homeowners are starting to be more conscious of the quality of the air they breathe indoors. No longer as safe or as clean as presumed, these appliances try to offer some peace of mind but sometimes at the cost of sticking out like a sore thumb in the middle of your room. Some are thankfully becoming more discreet and aesthetic, but they’re often still large and meant to stand along walls or in corners.
Depending on their actual range, these air purifiers might be too far away from where you spend most of your time every day: at your desk. To remedy this, ASUS is introducing three computer monitors that use ionizers to keep the air around you free of allergens, dust, and harmful particles, allowing you to work and play in peace, knowing that you’re breathing clean air all the time.

There is still some debate on its effectiveness, but air-ionizing technology is one of the go-to solutions for cleaning the surrounding air. In a nutshell, it ionizes or electrically charges air particles which then attach to and neutralize particulate matter that are considered to be dangerous to people’s health. An advantage of this design over regular air purifiers is that they usually don’t require the use of filters, so you have nothing to clean or replace in the process.
The ASUS line of VU Air Ionizer Monitors uses this principle and technology to design a monitor that is just as slim and stylish as any other computer monitor in the market. Unlike those, however, it has the special ability of being able to reduce around 90% of airborne dust in just three hours, at least according to ASUS’ promises. The best part is that it can do all these even while you’re working or playing on your desk, so you don’t have to change your workflow or your lifestyle to enjoy clean, breathable air.
The monitors come in 23.8-inch, 27-inch, and 32-inch models, the last one being a curved widescreen. On paper, they’re actually pretty decent for everyday tasks but might fall short of what creators and gamers need. The 100Hz refresh rate, for example, still hits above the usual 60Hz but is still below ideal 120Hz or 144Hz. There’s no HDR support either, either, so the color gamut is a little narrow for professional graphics and video work. Nonetheless, in most home offices or maybe even small businesses, the health benefits of such monitors outweigh their technical limitations, allowing users to live healthier lives during the time they spend on their desks.
