UPERFECT - UPERFECT 14-inch 2K Portable Monitor (Model J314)

Why don't you buy something that makes more sense ? For \~100 USD on amazon/aliexpress you can get 13'-14' 1440p IPS portable monitor with mini HDMI/USB-C power+video/USB-C power ports. I have two of them and I use them with RPi 400 for over a year now.

Come on. Really ?

i have the ZSUS 14 inch Monitor with 2K Resolution and 60 hz nothing to complain about i got it on BlackFriday Sales for about 60 USD its great i use it with a Clamp Arm since it does not have Vesa.

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

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

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.

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?

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. The exact model is no longer available but i'd probably get the 2k uperfect on this list based on aggregated reddit reviews https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/

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). A lot of them are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. Fwiw 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 models are no longer available but i'd probably get the 2k uperfect one near the top of that list if mine breaks. It has 400 nits and the 2k resolution is great for making sure my eyes don't get tired reading blurry text.

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. The exact model is no longer available but i'd probably get the 2k uperfect ranked near the top of [this list](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) (ranked by reddit reviews) if mine breaks. It has 400 nits and the 2k resolution is great for making sure my eyes don't get tired reading blurry text.

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.

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 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.
