Asus' new monitors may not include any significant improvements to their display quality, but the Taiwanese company is bringing enhancements to indoor air quality in a unique way.

The new VU Air Ionizer series includes three models with 24-, 27-, and 34-inch sized screens. Each houses a series of vents at the back which boast the ability to remove 90% of airborne dust within a 1m cubed area in about 3 hours.

Asus has introduced a new lineup of monitors featuring built-in air purification, combining display technology with environmental health benefits. The VU Air Ionizer series includes three models: the 23.8-inch VU249HFI-W, the 27-inch VU279HFI-W, and the 34-inch VU34WCIP-W.

ASUS claims its new VU Air Ionizer range of monitors can remove up to 90% of airborne dust to improve air quality, with no changing of filters required.

Okay, is someone messing with me? This is the second day in a row I’ve spotted a company putting weird crap into their newest monitor designs. Yesterday it was Lenovo, who put an AI NPU into a monitor.

Asus is bringing out new air purifying monitors that can remove up to 90% of airbrone dust. Oh, and they come with a 100Hz refresh rate.
