UPERFECT - 16" 2K HDR Portable Monitor

I have a UPerfect 2k 120hz 16" 500 nits monitor. Note that a lot come in 300 nits and that just doesn't seem bright enough for my tastes. Overall it's fine w/ the laptop, but trying to game on it w/ the SFF has it feeling really small as it's hard to see things. This one needs a separate PD charger to get to full brightness. Some modern motherboards and monitors support single usb-c display/power to like 4k/60hz. But I'd rather go w/ the separate charger option to get more frames. So you have to decide price vs size vs feature set. https://preview.redd.it/xt0xylntw3af1.jpeg?width=722&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e608c9f9584f72f2e4434a85d79333a59b5af14

There are better models you can get cheaper on aliexpress if youre willing to wait up to 2 weeks. The exact same monitors from aliexpress are on amazon with a huge markup. I got my portable monitor which is 1440p 144hz vrr for $160

i own 2 of these a d travel with them any time I travel. Actually I love them so much I bought monitor stands and vesa brackets for them to use them when i’m home too. When I travel I break them down and take everything with me. No, I don’t necessarily need the stands too, but if I’m going to be away for more than 3 days, I do because I like having my regular setup available and it’s not too much of a hassle to set up and break down. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF

It looks good in theory but is surprisingly annoying to setup to make sure its properly clamped to your laptop and that it won't be putting unnecessary weight on the hinge. Depending on how tight the space is it might not be possible to open both sides which means one side is just awkward and unusable (unless one screen can be detached). I prefer the simple standalone portable monitor setup. Also, for portable monitors I recommend looking for one above 400 nits (brightness). Many portable monitors are quite dim - sometimes unusable in daylight. I personally wasted money on one before. FWIW my wife and I have been a digital nomad for 3-4 years and we've been using those regular standalone portable monitors from uperfect. We've been pretty happy with them and they're thin and light enough to bring around.

I got one of these for each of my kids. The 2k version. They love them. https://a.co/d/4yqdxPo

Have been finding ways to work with a portable monitor, and seems like I found a practical way for now. Using a double-slot laptop stand to slot in the legion go, with the monitor at the front. Previously I used the magnetic folio that came together with the 16" Uperfect monitor, slotting in the legion go behind the monitor. Worked but was prone to toppling when i move around. Sharing here if anyone had a similar use case!

It's the Uperfect C2 purchased from [here](https://www.amazon.sg/UPERFECT-Portable-2560x1600-FreeSync-External/dp/B0BHNLZCNF). Has the same resolution (1600p), aspect ratio (16:10), and refresh rate (144hz with usbc) as the legion go. Best part is just 1 wire to the legion go without needing to power it separately! Can get from Aliexpress as well.

I probably wouldn’t honestly, look at UPerfect on Amazon, I have the 2560x1600 120hz and the resolution is definitely overkill tbh but it’s worth it imo. Edit: the 16 inch model to be specific

I have a 1440p 120hz portable monitor for my portable setup. I think it was uperfect as well. It's not bad, but it's small, so I wouldn't want to use it for an extended period of time, but at 1440p on a 16" screen, the pixel density is kinda crazy.

I have the uperfect 120hz 2k. Had to buy a stand for it. Kind of fun with the steam deck

Can you link me one of those? I have a uperfect 16” 120hz ips with all broken buttons that frustrates me (I lent it and all buttons came back broken—but they are extremely flimsy anyways)
