UPERFECT - 16" 2K HDR Portable Monitor

I use a portable monitor from uperfect with my work laptop. Net: too many cables because I have to power the monitor too.

Search in amazon for uperfect. They have several models. The one I have is not one I would use for gaming as it is 1600p.

I have this same one and use it with my work laptop. Have been able to power it on USB-C only some of the time, so I have an external USB-C cable powering it from an Anker adapter. I won't use it at full-res with my X: too many pixels to push. Uperfect has an FHD version for under $100 on Amazon.

usually for a similar price to an Arzopa you can find a 16" 1600p 120hz Uperfect panel, the increased resolution is worth it for me for non-gaming tasks I had last years model and it got a dead pixel and they swapped it for this years, and the new ones are dimmer tho

I have one, works fine but the case is flimsy 

Just wanted to say thank you for writing this out. I was looking between the Uperfect and the Forhelp just now as they're both well above the number of reviews than any other brand out there. I still don't know which I'm getting but still wanted to say thanks for writing it nonetheless lol. I actually had the UPerfect for a hot second and completely forgot it requires the external power or it'll cut out above like 70ish percent. Thanks for that reminder!

I have a 16 in 144hz portable monitor. It currently goes for $150.

For whats it's worth I own two of UPERFECT's 16:10 16" 1600p 120hz IPS portable monitors and they work perfect after 1.5 years.. Only gripe is that not every USB-C port is able to single-cable power and provide video to them.. Random laptops work and some just flat out do not, such as any Lenovo i've tried do not work.. But Asus laptops worked fine. So I would plan on knowing you might need to use two Type C ports to power and provide video. Outside of that, at least in the IPS variants I have, the brightness is pretty low compared to the internal panels of most laptops but they still get bright enough to use in a bright room.

At this point, why not just bring a laptop? 3 items (laptop + charger + mouse) vs 5 at minimum (ally + charger + keyboard + mouse + screen) Theres no way this is more compact (or convenient) than a laptop setup. I have an rog ally and I initially thought about this setup and I even bought a uperfect 16" 120hz QHD monitor but after trying it out its just easier to keep it as a handheld and bring my laptop if I want to use keyboard + mouse.

For the review that nobody asked for... below is my pro & cons to of two portable monitors. I needed a portable monitor for a non-gaming reason and bought two candidates and returned the other. I didn't buy it just for the Ally X but it's nice to have. Figured that this may help anybody who may be considering two cheap'ish portable monitors. I returned the Arzopa and kept the Uperfect.

I can run the Uperfect on USB C only but at only 20% brightness. I'm not sure if it matters but remember that one of the ports is a thunderbolt 4 port and the other is a normal USB port.

I got the "UPERFECT 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming Monitor, 16" 2560x1600 QHD Portable Monitor" version. Very happy with it. I noticed that it went up by $20 in a few days on Amazon, maybe wait a few days to see if it goes on sale again.

I think it looks great. There are better portable monitors out there but for the price, it's very good.

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

Oh I’m using that one. I like it. It’s light, good matte screen and I got Uperfect’s vesa kickstand which makes moving it much less cumbersome since the cover is definitely flimsy and unreliable as a kickstand

I bought this one for the LegGo, pretty solid actually! Give it a shot: https://a.co/d/c7mQmL6

Yes it only does 120hz, BUT you get the same reso as the LegGo

Just wanted to check back in on this thread with an update. I ended up going with this Uperfect 16.1" 2K 120hz joint. [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF?ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1) Shell is all aluminum, a little light bleed along the bottom edge, but it's imperceptible when any kind of content is on screen. Also, I've tried so many different tablet stands these last few days, and none of them work well for a portable monitor. I determined that a light duty laptop stand would be the best solution, and this Amazon Basics stand is working out great so far: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLRJ4R8F?psc=1&ref=ppx\_yo2ov\_dt\_b\_product\_details](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BLRJ4R8F?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details)

Uperfect owner here. No problems at all. Traveled and stuff. The finish isn't great, but it works and the image quality is good.

Hi there. UPERFECT 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming Monitor, 16" 2560x1600 QHD HDR. [https://a.co/d/9WIBuNZ](https://a.co/d/9WIBuNZ)

With a displayport cable, mine can reach 144hz. I'm sticking with 120hz, I see dead people when 144hz (gosthing) Cheers

I love my uperfect 16" 2k HDR portable monitor. It has a great picture. UPERFECT 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

FYI I also have the same monitor and have been using it over a year as a third for my main PC, I glued some magnetic metal onto the back and bought magnetic usb c adapters and a magnetic vesa mount. Whenever I go somewhere I can just grab it off the stand along with my switch and portable battery bank and have a blast. Well worth magnetising if that helps make it more appealing haha.

I need to travel soon, and saw this as a perfect opportunity to finally get a Framework 16. I like/need a 3 monitor setup, so I picked up some portable monitors ([ARZOPA 16" 2.5K Portable Monitor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9XR3G4)). These little things are great on my desktop and with my phone. So it came as a surprise when they didn't work with the USB C ports on the FW. A few google searches shows I'm not alone in this issue. The display works if I connect to the single USB C port in the back of the GPU expansion card, but not at full brightness. I can also get them to work via a USB C dongle and HDMI, using an aditional USB A cable from the dongle to power the display. This is really dissapointing, and I'm not sure I would of even gone for this setup if I had to deal with more dongles and cables. My questions are if anyone's had success with USB C portable monitors with similar specs, or if anyone has any dongle or cable recommendations that will still let me use just 1 cable for each monitor. --- Returned the monitors. Got a [UPERFECT 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming Monitor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF) that seems to work fine with the Cable Matters TB4 cable I got. You get a warning about providing aditional power, but I haven't had any issues with just the one cable connected to the FW16.

I ended up getting these [UPERFECT 2K](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF) monitors. I really like how thin the bezels are; **however**, I've had 1 of them break on me simply by picking it up. Cracked the screen on the edge. I ordered a replacement, and that one arrived with a 1 pixel high blue line spanning across the entire monitor. I ended up getting this [ForHelp](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQHVYC5L) monitor (holy shit did the price go up. I paid $150 for mine), mostly because I wanted to try a different brand after Uperfect failed me twice. The bottom bezel is a bit bigger, and the monitor runs at 60hz vs the 120hz of the previous one, but I'm not using either of these as a gaming monitor over the FW's 165hz monitor. The Uperfect's monitor isn't as bright as it can be running off of 1 cable, but it's plenty serviceable. Definitly brighter than my attempts at running it with my first monitor in my post and a USB-C hub. The ForHelp monitor runs the brightest off 1 cable, though oddly enough can't be pushed to full 100%. Running at 70% it is noticeably brighter than Uperfect's *stated* 100%. If I had to pick one, I'd probably try Uperfect again. Maybe I just got unlucky. Especially when looking at the sudden price hike of the ForHelp, with its lower refresh rate and *slight* bulkiness. Both worked great for my needs though.

18” is too big for most backpacks so be careful. 16” is perfect honestly for travel. I use mine on my desk and couch so no backpack as I’m afraid it would bend and break easily. I have the 16” 1600p Uperfect one too and it’s solid.

Uperfect 16inc 2k is excellent for 120euro

When it comes to portable monitors I'd recommend looking out for the brightness and getting something with 400-500 nits. When I first got my first portable i did not know to look for that since most regular monitors are plenty bright. It turned out to be so dim its hardly usable in the day. The uperfect at the top of this list is a good option [https://redditrecs.com/portablemonitors/](https://redditrecs.com/portablemonitors/) It's 2k, 400 nits, and usually at a good price. The list is sorted by comments aggregated across reddit, so the fact that its currently at the top says something.

Fwiw I recently did an [analysis aggregating reviews from reddit](https://redditrecs.com/portablemonitors/?subm_id=1eekvui) and this one (Z1FC) came as 2nd place. 1st place went to a uperfect 2k 120hz (i think the model is c2?) Personally i'd go for the uperfect because its 400 nits and a lot of these portable monitors are not very bright. I bought one random chinese one before without paying attention to the brightness and it was unusable in daylight.

I recently [collated comments across Reddit](https://redditrecs.com) to find the ones that most people are recommending. Fwiw my wife and I have been using UPERFECT’s monitors. They’ve been good. My protip is to get one that is 400-500 nits. Avoid those that don’t list the brightness at all. I’ve wasted money on one that is too dim before

Thanks! The UPERFECT ones that me and my wife have are unfortunately no longer available (one was FHD and one was 2k) as I bought them pretty long ago, I think 2-3 years? They were both listed as 500 nits though and I found their brightness good. The FHD one was a bit brighter than the 2k I’m thinking of getting a new one soon and if I were to choose I’d probably go for that one you mentioned because of the good reviews. It’s listed as 400 nits only but hopefully they’ve improved the tech in the newer model and hopefully it would be as bright?

Uperfect 2k 120hz works great

I recommend the UPEFECT. I use mine for my ROG Ally and Samsung Dex setups.

I just picked up the k118, great so far.

AFAIK Mister doesn’t support that resolution so I’ve been using 2560x1440p and monitor set to 4:3, no freesync, no HDR (I’ll try this out), with my own filter settings. Sitting next to PVM it looks very close. With the monitor at 4:3 cores are squished horizontally until you change the core’s video option from original to fullscreen.

> a big 18-inch portable monitor from UPerfect I have a 16" 120Hz variant of the K118, but I could neither buy another nor buy a different UPerfect monitor to upgrade it. They won't ship to my state any more, which is very odd.

it cant do 120 over mini hdmi? i have the 2k IPS version of this monitor from uperfect and it does 2k just fine, is the extra 1k really that much more taxing?

Im probably going to buy one myself. I have the ips variant from uperfect and I love everything except for the motion ghosting, so an OLED thats basically the same otherwise is huge for me. Plus im seeing t hem for 200$ which is kindof a bargain

how is it treating you? i have a 2k IPS from uperfect that i really like, so im wondering if this is worth the upgrade from ips

I haven't tried, so my advice is null. I think there's more value then a separate portable monitor that has a built in stand. Bonus if the stand supports a vertical orientation. I picked up a Uperfect 16 inch monitor recently and it's been awesome. Runs 144 on one USBC cable. Also I find with a separate keyboard and mouse I can vertical stack them.

I have a uperfect monitor as well , a 16inch , yeah there's a slight color wash , but hey I don't need the second monitor for anything color accurate or anything so it's perfectly fine . Once I build my next set up , planning to go full modular and portable , a uperfect delta + the current portable monitor . As a person who hates travel and stuff but forced to this portable monitors are life changers . No laptop is gonna cut for the work I do so there's that
