These days, we have to choose what to wear while listening to the temperature every day. Many people like autumn and winter because they can enjoy fashion. This time, we visited ASUS' " 2024 Autumn/Winter Monitor New Product Preview "!
From "ProArt" for creators
ASUS "2024 Autumn/Winter Monitor Preview" was held in October 2024!
ProArt Display PA34VCNV
First up is the ProArt Display PA34VCNV, a 34.1-inch widescreen LCD from ASUS' "ProArt" brand for creators. The resolution is 3,440 x 1,440 with an IPS panel. The USB-C port can provide up to 96W of power, which is enough to charge a laptop.
The " ProArt Display PA34VCNV " is a wide monitor with a slightly curved LCD due to its 3800R curvature. It is not as immersive as a gaming monitor, but for creators, having an overly curved LCD is a disadvantage, so this is a good compromise. It seems to be just right for creators.

We also tested the AirVision M1 Glasses!
Is this another next-generation monitor? We were able to experience once again the "AirVision M1 Glasses," AR glasses under development by ASUS, which were also exhibited at the Tokyo Game Show 2024. Here is a brief introduction in the form of a photo report!
The glasses feel just like normal glasses. Sensors on the temples.
Oh, I can see!
Adjusting the distance between you and the screen and the interpupillary distance using the dedicated software.
Here is the screen! Here!
You can switch modes by tapping the sensor located on the left side.
And if you attach further attachments...
They transform into sunglasses! They reduce the amount of light coming in, so we recommend wearing them indoors when you want to concentrate on the screen. The magnet makes it easy to attach and detach!
At the moment, no release date or other details have been revealed, but even though it is a prototype, it is working well, so I wonder if it is not too far in the future...? I think it's not too far off in the future...? Let's have high expectations for this monitor of the future, which will allow us to play games and work in a free posture!
