the best "DEX" (or 60hz) lapdock, is the nexdock 360 wireless, or the nexdock XL. depending on if you want 13.3" or 15.6" The best lapdock to pair with a gaming handheld, capable of OVER 60hz, is the Uperfect 15.6". it's virtually identical to the nexdock XL, but has a 120hz panel. all 3 are touchscreens
I have pretty much ALL uperfect monitors I'd be awfully tempted to just grab their 15.6" lapdock, tbh unless yiu don't need a keyboard.... Their next best monitor is the 16" o2 oled panel. Just gorgeous If yiu want slightly larger, they've got a 21" 4k monitor, and they've got a nice folding vesa stand for it Ive got roughly 35 or 40 of these things, so if you can dial in specs, I can make better recommendations I also REALLY like the sotsu 14", but that might be small, even tho its awesome
the main issue is that 99% of miracast out there cheaps out, and only supports 30hz refresh it's super usable on the Nexdocks and Uperfect lapdocks (samsung m5, m7 monitors also) but it's not something you're going to want to game on, if that makes sense productivity and movies are just fine of course
For lapdocks, your choices are nexdock or uperfect No one else really makes them anymore Nexdock is slightly better than uperfect, but both are pretty good There is not a "premium" version in existence
Nexdock isn't shipping outside of the USA unfortunately. So I couldn't buy theirs.... I'm from Canada and they told me it was because of the tariffs... I ended up just making my own out of a laptop holder for your steering wheel in your work truck (also works on a table), and a monitor / keyboard setup But I really wouldn't mind the nexdock... Just really sucks the one time I want to get one, they don't ship to Canada lmao... And are you perfect one just had too many random quirks about it compared to the Nexdock That I decided against it The speakers are listed as less wattage on their website, It doesn't have auto rotate (and dex didn't support rotating your screen until the most recent beta build now on OneUi8?), The build quality was slightly less desirable, And it also has one less USB-C port which is a HUGE L for me
The distortion seems odd, I have used numerous lapdocks and external monitors and FHD works perfectly fine, when I had a Samsung Galaxy then 4K was also okay at 30hz. 1440p worked best with Dex (using Goodlock) My current Honor V3 only supports FHD desktop mode but is perfectly fine on a Uperfect FHD wired and wireless lapdock.
I have bought a few uperfect monitors and all have worked for my devices: desktops, laptops, android phones, ipad pro, mini PCs, game consoles. 15.6" 1440p @ 120hz 15.6" 1080p @ 120 hz 15.6" 1080p @ 60 hz w/built in battery 13.3" 1080p @ 60 hz wireless lapdock All of these support dp over type c along with hdmi, if it's mini hdmi, the monitor comes with its own hdmi cables I've bought a magedok 1440p.monitor from amazon before but Im not happy with the build quality.
Well, thats weird. I have a touchscreen 15.6 monitor and a broken S10+ and a functional S20FE. Both can power up the monitor and display image just fine directly into the usb-c port (cable need to be usb-c video compatible). Otherwise, the S10+ cannot go into Dex mode that way, only mirror, so I need to plug another Usb-c cable to the monitor providing power, in which the second usb-c slot also has power pass-through and goes into the phone as well, not needing a HUB for that (slow charging tho). I wonder if newer phones past the S20 can power up the screen and go into Dex Mode as well, because that seems the case. For the measure the monitor has 1 - mini hdmi to Hdmi port 2 - 2 usb-c ports that support power, video and data (in case you connect into windows and want to use the touch screen) The brand is Uperfect if anyone is interested, the model I have no idea probably a generic one.
