UPERFECT - UPERFECT 16.1" 144Hz Portable Monitor

I haven't tried the ASUS gaming display, but I went down a bit of a rabbit hole last year trying out a number of portable monitors. I did not find any of the Arzopa ones to be very good. The best ones that I tried are: UPERFECT Portable Monitor 2K [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CB5B9L98/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CB5B9L98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) This monitor is 16" 1440P, 144hz with freesync, and has a great display with no noticeable ghosting or input lag. However, the build quality feels a bit cheap in comparison to some of the other displays since it's entirely plastic. This does help it to feel pretty light, however. You can currently get it for $160 with a coupon on Amazon. NexiGo 2.5K portable monitor [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C89VVZ6R/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C89VVZ6R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1) This Nexigo portable monitor is easilty the best portable monitor I've ever used. It's also 16", but has 1600P resolution which matches the Legion Go's display. It's 144hz, has 500 nits of brightness, freesync, g-sync compatibility, and a full-sized HDMI input port. The speakers aren't anything special, but they are actually decent which is pretty good for a portable monitor. The display is incredibly vibrant and colorful and also has no noticeable ghosting or input lag. It has a built-in kickstand plus a folio cover that stays on very well and can also be used as a stand. The contruction feels way more premium than the UPERFECT monitor I mentioned above, but it also costs $90 more at $250. One more thing to note is that these displays will need their own power sources to work fully with most connected devices. I was able to get the UPERFECT to run via just a single usb-c cable when I used it with a Razer gaming laptop, but for everything else I tried it with, it needed to be plugged in with its power supply. The Nexigo needed a power supply for every device I tried or it would either run at half-brightness/120hz or not at all. A minor thing but I think it should be noted. You can't go wrong with either of these displays. I would definitely get the Nexigo one over the UPERFECT, but the latter is a close #2 behind it in my book.

The UPerfect monitor is more or less the same, iirc their 16 inch 1440p 144hz one is 6-8ms or something.  With also those chinese brands probably using the same OEM, it's unlikely you'll find a proper 1440p gaming monitor in a small size. There are 1080p options with alright response time ie ASUS ROG Strix 17 inch being like 3ms. But niche and pricey. I have the Uperfect 16 inch mentioned above. Colors are good, and while it's not the ideal monitor for motion it's not a disaster either. 

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 use UPerfect 16 inches, 2.5K almost two years as the secondary one for my MacBook 14 in. Still love it, even as it has a some glow zones on the top of the screen, not visible at all, especially with the light theme.

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

UPERFECT 144HZ 16", i have a post of it on my profile, same with the keyboard. They're both discounted on Amazon often.

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.

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).

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'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.

nice. i just got a uperfect 16" "gaming monitor" to use in the the same way, although vertical. been using dual 27" monitors for years, but found i really only use half the screen on the 2nd monitor really, mostly for email and notes and the occasional document/brief. figured i'd try and free up some desk space. i'm also a graphic designer so "the work" only really happens on my studio display in the middle. haven't set up the uperfect yet, i know its not as nice resolution out of the box, but since it's only really for "side items" i'm not overtly concerned about it. similarly priced, that arzopza looks pretty slick. the main reason i got the uperfect is barely any bezels and no "chin" chunk and no logo. it's basically just a rectangular screen. hope it does the trick! love your set up. nice posters and color scheme all around.

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 🫡

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

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

Flipgo from Jsaux. I have two of the 16in version and a 16in laptop and a Ugreen 16in portable monitor, 6 screens altogether, all fit in a small backpack. For small stays I just take the Ugreen with me. Every screen is 1600p vertically, I could never use only one screen of 1080p like the one in the glasses some people suggest, not that I did not try it. Flipgo exists also in 14inch Edit: sorry Uperfect not Ugreen is the brand of my single portable monitor

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.
