As a believer in the Unix philosophy, I’d rather keep my tools discrete. There’s a reason we stopped integrating the keyboard directly into the computers. I don’t see the point in having to throw out two unrepairable devices when one of them inevitably breaks.
On the flip side, if you are going to be running a fan to cool something anyway, you might as well pop a filter in there and pull double duty.
I’ll grant you that, but I’ve literally never seen an actively cooled monitor in my life. When did that happen?
True, this use case would make more sense in a desktop.
Your monitor has a fan?
A lot of monitors do.
I also prefer to stew in my own smells.
Well, I mean… You could always try showering. It’s not really the kind of problem an ionizing air purifier was meant to solve.
Farts my dear lad.
Ah. There is always the option of buying a separate air purifier. Or opening a window once in a while.
Wait, you tell me they open?
There might be individuals who would claim that only some windows do. Those people I would remind of the old maxim: “If violence doesn’t solve your problem, you weren’t using enough of it.”
That’s a nice way to say your solid state active cooling gets clogged up with dust :P
This is actually a somewhat compelling feature, more so considering how often I have to clean my monitors from dust.
I bet it’s trying to battle the incel body odor……lol
