"The Arzopa has usb-c power passhthrough too. So I can use ONE charger connected to the monitor, and then connect the console to the monitor, and the monitor will work AND charge the console at the same time. It's awesome."


"Works well with my Steamdeck either with direct USB-C cable or via mini-HDMI + USB-C for power when docked."


"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."

"IME 2k resolution is the sweet spot for portable monitors. ... 2k is crisp enough so my eyes won't get tired reading blurry text. ... Anything higher is overkill for screens below 20 inches, plus you'll likely need to plug in an extra power cable."

"I actually bought the Uperfect K118, thinking that it would be compatible with Displayport over USB-C; but I've just been in contact with their tech support who confirm that their monitors do not currently have adaptive sync capabilities compatible with Nvidia GPUs. ... It doesn't. I've tried two separate cables. The Monitor works fine but if you try to enable G-Sync it - Turns off for five seconds - Turns on for a brief flicker, showing you a frame of the game you're trying to play - Flashes an error saying "feature unsupported" - Turns off for five seconds... If you want a portable monitor for gaming the K118 is good but you have to accept there's no G-Sync."

Using Uperfect portable monitor ok naman sya yung 2K/144Hz binili ko sa Amazon last year kasi may discount sa Black Friday sale 10k naging 5k nalang hahaha dahil din sa bank offers na USD din ang discount. Check out Amazon mas marami silang portable monitors na higher refresh rate at screen resolution compared to Lazada/Shopee at the similar price. Tell me if you need suggestions I'll give you some link 🫡

If your GPU doesn't have a USB-C output, you need to purchase a DP to USB C cable designed for AR glasses to enable adaptive sync. The cable will work on portable monitors that support DisplayPort Alternate Mode (Alt Mode) over USB-C. The one I use is the WJESOG DisplayPort to USB C Cable 6.6ft 4K@60Hz with USB Cable Adapter. For context, I use G-Sync perfectly on a UPERFECT 18-Inch 2K 144hz Freesync portable monitor paired with my RTX 4070 TI Super. Hope this helps!

It is a UGame K118 2K 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor 18" monitor, so I think it's more or less the same as yours? It was detected as G-Sync compatible when I plugged the new cable, and then checked and enabled the setting on the NVIDIA control panel. Aside from the difference I noticed when gaming, I haven't done any specific testing, it seemed like it worked as intended.

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.

I ended up going with this one from uperfect. It’s pretty good and honestly overkill for the ally x. If I was buying today I would probably get the 2k one instead. Both are able to run off a single usbc with no power cable I’m pretty sure https://a.co/d/0581bfI

Make sure to get one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). A lot of them are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. My wife and I have been using uperfect's monitors for the past 3 years while digital nomading and have been happy with them. The exact model is no longer available but i'd probably get the 2k uperfect near the top of [this list](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) (ranked by aggregated Reddit reviews, you can see breakdown of comments) when mine breaks. It has 400 nits and I like 2k resolution for making sure my eyes don't get tired reading blurry text.

I won’t go for 4k. It’s an overkill for portable monitors smaller than 19in. It may not be able to be powered by just a USBc from your MacBook too. What’s more important is to get one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). A lot of them are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. My wife and I have been using uperfect's monitors for the past 3 years while digital nomading and have been happy with them.

I recently did an analysis on reddit data on portable monitors. If you're looking for something tried and tested i'd probably go for one of the ones at the top [https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) A key thing to look out for is to get one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews).

You should be able to get a good one for plenty less than $1k. But make sure to get one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). A lot of them are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. My wife and I have been using uperfect's monitors for the past 3-4 years while digital nomading and have been happy with them.

I'd recommend getting one that is brighter. The one you linked is only 250cdm2 which is pretty low. I would look for something that either has >400 nits or have reviews saying its bright. A lot of portable monitors are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. Unless you're always working in a dark room? FWIW my wife and I have been a digital nomad for 3 years and we've been using monitors from uperfect. We've been pretty happy with them so far. They're thin and bright and light enough to bring around. The exact models are no longer available though. But I recently did an analysis on reddit data on portable monitors, basically ranking them by aggregated sentiment - maybe you'll find the results helpful [https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) I'm eyeing the 2k uperfect near the top of the list (for when my current one breaks). It has 400 nits and IME 2k resolution is the sweet spot for portable monitors. 2k is crisp enough so my eyes won't get tired reading blurry text. Anything higher is overkill for screens below 20 inches, plus you'll likely need to plug in an extra power cable. Its more expensive though so if you want something cheaper the Z1FC Arzopa at the top is on sale now on amazon i think and is at least 300cdm2 and has reviews saying its bright enough.

I recommend getting one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). Some of them are super dim and basically unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. I'm currently using one from UPERFECT, 400 nits and its pretty decent. FWIW I recently did an analysis on reddit data on portable monitors. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment.

I do the same! I have a uperfect 1600p 18" 144hz touch screen one which I use whenever my nose hurts from my XREAL ones, I prefer the AR glasses obviously but sometimes just a higher res really matters

The time is now! It's also a decent drawing screen, not as good as my drawing tablet but people draw on actual tablets professionally so I don't think it matters much in the end

I have the 18” uperfect 2k model for on-site editing. It’s a great screen with good colour rendition and brighter than my laptop screen. Highly recommend!

I don't think so, I just got a portable monitor from UPERFECT 2K, 144Hz with the case that has a stand feature. The name sounds weird, but the display is fine and works very well. Wasn't very expensive, either. I use it for traveling with my laptop, it just slides in the backpack with laptop in the same compartment. Weight I don't remember exactly, but around 1kg, battery impact I don't know, I always use plugged.
