UPERFECT - 17.3 Inch 4K Monitor

I am using the 15.6 KYY 4k portable monitor. If I had the chance to pick again I would go with a uperfect 4k 17-18 inch portable monitor with freesync/vrr and 10bit color.

I also got 2 17-inch uperfect 4k monitors. They are really cool. They come with a cover stand but I would recommend looking for a mobile vesa mount. I got one but I am not super satisfied because there is no height adjustment. The second thing is that once I add dock and a usb hub the whole thing begins to feel a bit silly. Too many cables and dongles. The uperfect needs a 65w power supply as well,. I wish it could draw the power it needs from the go but of course that’s unreasonable. I’d like to find a better way to get the whole setup with less cables and setup time. The uperfect 1080p is cheaper and makes more sense for games. I wanted 4k for work. These monitors are always on sale.

I use a UPerfect 17.3 inch 4k portable monitor on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro and have not had any problems but I also use an external power supply. The monitor has two USB-C ports and an HDMI port and can be hooked up to three devices and you can switch between display sources. I found, though, that when just powered by the MacBook Pro, that I'd get black screens from time to time. So I hooked it up to an external power source and the black screens went away. So you might want to use a separate power source anyways. I think that devices provide varying levels of power and any particular device might not provide enough.

I bought a Uperfect 17 inch 4k portable monitor for $289 a month ago from Amazon. I carry it with my M1 Pro MacBook Pro in my backpack and it's powered from my MacBook Pro and an additional USB-C 10 watt power supply. I use USB-C but it can also work via mini-HDMI. I also bought a case for it. You can pick up an M4 mini for $450 at Microcenter and then you'd need a keyboard and mouse and there are tons of options for those. So it is doable but you have the setup and teardown time. If you need to spend a lot of time in coffee shops, then it can be a pain - having to find an outlet and then packing up if you need to go to the bathroom. If it's home and work and your employer will provide monitor, keyboard and mouse, then you'd just need to carry the mini back and forth. Assuming you have a spare cord.

I used a uperfect usb c monitor for about a minute and it worked. I don't know more than that as the monitor had a fault and I'm waiting on a replacement. I'd choose on Ali express, the 16inch 120hz portable OLED or the 13 inch 1080p 60hz OLED at around £200 and £100.
