Astro 4K is a cordless 4K monitor with built-in battery

Most of us spend many hours behind the screens of computers or laptops. All our life is in one way or another connected with the use of technology - office work, study, communication with friends, entertainment. The quality of the image depends on how we perceive the screen. Nowadays, the use of two monitors is becoming more popular, which is especially important if you are into design, photography, web development or programming. Multiple screens display more information, and you do not need to switch constantly between applications as they are multitasking in parallel. Today we head to Sydney (Australia), where Evolve III has introduced the latest Astro 4K wireless monitor that connects to your smartphones, tablets, laptops and game consoles via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth with a diagonal touchscreen display 13.3 or 15.6 inches with a resolution of 3840 * 2160 pixels and comes with a built-in 10,000mAh battery.

Features of the novelty

It is now particularly popular to use multiple monitors with one computer. Legislators of this fashion were gamers who sought to expand their workspace in order to increase the effectiveness of games. Discussions about the use or non-use of two or more monitors do not subside - some argue their position for productivity gains, and their opponents claim the undoubted harm of so many screens for vision. It took a long time to complete a full-scale study of the effects of two or more monitors on the human body, so it is too early to talk about their benefit or harm.

It is up to each user to choose the one or two screens to work with. In some professions, having a second monitor simply does not come in handy - especially if you are into programming, working in photography, being a professional designer, writing electronic music or playing games. Quite often, a small screen of a laptop or tablet is not enough to notice the smallest details or to check for errors. Especially if you own the world's most compact Ultrabook - GPD P2 Max from the popular Chinese company GPD HK, which we discussed earlier. It has a screen diagonal of only 8.9 inches, received a fingerprint scanner, equipped with an 8th-generation Intel processor, QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, combined cooling system and autonomy up to 8 hours (you can read more about it via the link).

Today's novelty aims to expand your workspace, improve your productivity and improve image quality to 4K. It can work in both portrait and landscape form. The novelty uses High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, which helps to display a picture with a noticeable difference in light and dark colors. This allows you to see realistic images, save accurate lighting variations, and create brightness gradations without losing detail in the drawing process.

The viewing angles of the monitor are quite wide - 178° and the picture quality is 3840 * 2160 pixels in 16.7 million colors. The novelty has received a powerful built-in battery with a capacity of 10,000 mAh. Its autonomy is about 8 hours. The manufacturer has equipped the monitor with several cables that make it easy to connect to all your devices: USB Type C - used to transfer files and view content in 4K format; HDMI - designed for use with laptops and computers; USB Type C wall-mounted adapters are used to charge the device quickly; USB Type A for other gadgets.

To protect the Astro 4K from dust and scratches, the manufacturer comes with a special leather case. In addition, the stand will help to place the monitor as conveniently as possible. Two device sizes are available at the user's choice: 15.6 inches with dimensions 360 * 230 * 9 mm (length * width * thickness) and weighing 990 g, and 13.3 inches with dimensions 309 * 197 * 9 mm and weighing 875 g. The built-in speaker lets you watch video with audio, and the 3.5mm mini-jack connector lets you plug in headphones. The manufacturer recommends the use of a monitor for group work on projects, presentations, as well as for games and entertainment.
