Within this article we will take a closer look at the technical specifications of the Akoya X53281 monitor from Medion. For this we will talk about all possible categories that could be relevant. To start with, we will look at the display, talk about the design and in the next section we will go into the features of the monitor. Other features such as power consumption, connectors and certifications will follow later in the text.
Display
Games, texts, videos and/or other applications can be displayed on the monitor's 31 inches ( 80.1 cm on the diagonal). The size specification of a monitor refers to the screen diagonal, which is usually specified in inches. It is only comparable to a limited extent for different formats. For example, a conventional 4:3 monitor with the same screen diagonal has 6% less width, but 13% more height and a total of 7% more surface area than a monitor in 16:10 format. Despite the difference in working area, wider monitors are better suited for consuming games or current movies, for example. It is also easier to display several documents simultaneously on widescreen monitors. So, it depends on the current use case whether the aspect ratio of 1.778 : 1 makes sense for the intended use case. Around 86.4 % of the front surface of the monitor consists of the display, while the rest is made up of screen edges that cannot display images. If you want to place several monitors next to each other, it is advisable to prefer those with narrow edges. The display is a IPS panel. The panel has a resolution of 2560 x 1440 px. The pixel density is 93 ppi. The pixel pitch is 0.273 mm. The continuous possible brightness specified by the manufacturer Medion is 300 nt. The panel is illuminated by W-LED. The built-in panel ensures stable color reproduction of the image, even at deviating viewing angles, by means of its 178 ° (horizontal) viewing angle. Medion promises stable color reproduction moreover within a 178 ° vertical angle. Vertically, however, the image renews at a minimum rate of 60 hz up to 60 hz. The minimum response time of the monitor is ms. The average response time of the monitor is about ms. The display panel is Anti-glare/Matte.
Color space
The panel has a bit depth of 8 per color channel, but what does that mean? The number of bits determines how many colors can be encoded for the individual pixels of the display. For an 8-bit panel, for example, this is 256 different colors (2^8 = 256). However, since we usually display three different colors per pixel at the same time, in theory about 16 million (256^3) different colors are possible by mixing the three pixels. A 10-bit panel could even display a billion colors.
Contrast ratio
Contrast ratio is a common measurement used to represent the maximum relative differences in brightness between black and white. It describes the ability of a screen or projector to produce a high-contrast image and is the quotient of the maximum and minimum displayable luminance. The higher the values are away from each other, the stronger the quantitatively seen difference between black and white is set up, which in turn results in an improved image quality. This monitor from Medion has a static contrast ratio of 1200 : 1 , according to the manufacturer. In contrast to the static contrast ratio, the dynamic contrast ratio changes the brightness of the panel itself in addition to the difference measurement from black to white. In addition to the difference between the brightest and the darkest pixel, the backlight is thus changed. Since the brightness of the panel may not be able to be adjusted exactly to a single pixel, a so-called halo effect is possible. The value of 5000000 : 1 of dynamic contrast ratio for the monitor Akoya X53281 cannot provide any information about the severity of the halo effect here. Therefore, it is more useful to compare the static contrast ratio.
HDR
The monitor supports all HDR modes listed here:
screen design
For the installation of the monitor, a space requirement of approximately 43.5 cm in height, 72.8 cm in width and 5.2 cm in depth is to be assumed.
The size of the Akoya X53281 on the desk is likely to be particularly relevant for most users. Medion specifies a space requirement of 49.8 x 72.8 x 19.2 cm (HxWxD) with the included stand. As for the weight, Medion states a total weight of 7.08 kg with stand. The monitor Akoya X53281 without the stand weighs 6.48 kg. This weight reduction should be taken into account for wall or arm mounting, since monitor arms have a maximum load capacity. Speaking of weight without a stand and thus wall or table mounts. The monitor supports a Vesa mounting.
Rotate, tilt and swivel
The monitor from Medion cannot be rotated. The monitor cannot be swiveled. This feature could be retrofitted with a third-party stand.
Ports
The connection of a device via display port is supported. There are 1 HDMI ports on the monitor.
camera
This monitor does not have a camera.
Loudspeaker
The monitor from Medion has integrated speakers, for playing sounds, music or speech. The sound is emitted via 2 speakers, which are integrated into the device. Each of the built-in speakers has a contingent of 2 w power.
Features
- AMD FreeSync: By dynamically synchronizing the refresh rate of the Akoya X53281 with the frame rate, AMD FreeSync minimizes judder and ensures smooth and enjoyable gameplay.
WiFi / Bluetooth
Power consumption
The average consumption was given by Medion as 29 w. The maximum power consumption (peak) specified for this monitor is 60 w. In standby mode, the device consumes approximately 0.46 w. When switched off, on the other hand, the monitor consumes only 0.43 w. The monitor can be operated on a 110v power supply. The monitor can be operated on a 220v power supply. There are 1.2 amps specified. The power grid has to supply a frequency of 50 hz to 60 hz.
Environment
For temperature, the maximum permissible ambient temperature is 35 °C. Below a temperature of 0 °C , the monitor from Medion should again not be used. The humidity must not exceed 80 percent. At least, however, 0 percent humidity. The monitor may be stored at a maximum humidity of 90 percent. The minimum humidity during storage should not fall below 0 percent. The maximum storage temperature should be according to Medion 60 °C. Minimal were given by Medion -20 °C.
Packaging
The monitor is packaged in a cardboard box measuring 53 x 94 x 16 cm (height x width x depth).
