> 24 hourI dont usually write reviews, but the product was so impressive and the customer support was some of the best I have experienced. I was always hesitant to try the made in china (by unfamiliar brands) displays. While Chinese companies are capable of putting out good displays, there is also a lot of crap out there. Low contrast, low brightness, dead pixels, etc. If you go around with support a couple of rounds eventually you may get a usable monitor but it just doesnt feel right that you have to serve as QA for the company. This is NOT the case with UPERFECT and I have complete confidence in them, both with their product and with support. First the screen is very nice. 10/10 for my usage. No dead pixels. Uniform lighting. Vibrant colors and very bright. I use the 4k at 100% zoom in win10 and dont feel any eye strain but for others this may be too small. 150% zoom is probably more like what you are used to with laptop monitors. Some displays crank up the brightness to look impressive but the image quality suffers, but UPERFECT at full brightness is a joy to use. I sometimes lower the brightness a little bit if the room is dark. The monitor has a matte anti-glare screen. The back of the monitor is made of glass and glossy. Not sure how durable it is during travel but I mainly use it around the house when I want to quickly get a 4k display in place or with my headless micro PCs when I occasionally want a real display rather than remote VNC. Used the display a couple of days with micro PCs / laptops and it worked great. Had an 8k HDMI KVM in between so I shared the monitor between two micro PCs. With a KVM If you dont want windows to resize your desktop to its default 1920x1080 or lower suggest getting a EDID HDMI passthrough so windows doesnt know a display was disconnected when switching between PCs. There are 3 video connectors, (mini-HDMI which you can use the included cable to convert to full size HDMI), and 2 USB C connectors which are probably using DisplayPort over USB C but I didnt verify. Audio gets passed through on all the connections. Audio is not going to super loud because the power alloted to the speakers is not high but it wasnt annoyingly low volume. The monitor gets power from the USB C connections, either through the included 30W PD power adapter or your laptops USB C connection/power adapter. My older 7th Gen HP Spectre x360s thunderbolt3 USB C ports would only supply up to 5V at 1.5A (7.5W) so the monitor would go to low power mode (reduced brightness and audio volume) if I had used a single USB C connection from the laptop to the display. It would still work, just not as bright but certainly usable. On the other hand if I supplied USB C power to the monitor first, using a USB C PD power adapter (either the included one or the one from my laptop), then ran a USB C cable as a single cable connection to the laptop, then the monitor would work at full brightness and pseudo-charge your laptop. I say pseudo charge because I measured the power supplied to my laptop and it was 20V at .5A so around 10W. This isnt enough to charge the laptop, just slow down the battery drain. My laptop USB PD adapter was capable of supplying 65W to the monitor so I think the 20V .5A charging limitation to the laptop is just a property of the display. I also measured the power usage of the monitor and it looks like it needs around 20V and .7A to work at full capacity (around 14w). If you have newer USB C ports on your laptop, that can supply 20V .7A via USB PD then you probably wont get the low power mode when doing the single USB C connection from laptop to display. So for my usage the monitor was awesome. However as some other reviews mentioned, the stand is a little weak. It is magnetically held to the back of the monitor but then when you fold over the flap to create the hinge in the back, there is another magnetic connection. This results if some slop with how steady the stand feels. In particular if my surface wasnt even and the rubber feet at the bottom edge of the monitor didnt have good contact, the monitor would start sliding and the viewing angle would change, slowly over time. Also if you want to use the monitor in portrait mode, it is pretty inconvenient. On one side of the display you have the USB C and hdmi connectors, so that side cannot face the table. On the other side you have the jog stick jutting out. Neither side has rubber feet to prevent the display from sliding. I contacted support about my concerns and they replied quickly (even on weekends) with a solution that is working well for me. I would say support is top notch from my experience and I have confidence if there are future issues they will be there. UPDATE: I have now tried single USB C connection from 12th Gen LG Gram 14 to the display. It is also in low power mode. Not a huge deal for my usage, but I expected a recent model laptop with PD 3.0 to deliver voltage at 20V which is apparently what the display is looking for. If this feature (single USB C cable connection with display operating at full power) is important to you, it might only be available on some laptops, Macbooks, consoles, and phones. It is very hard to get the PD output specs on laptops to see if the 20V profile is supported. Connecting the power supply to the display first, then connecting a single USB C cable to the laptop works fine. I also found the included USB and HDMI cables a bit short unless you are using the display literally side-by-side with the video source. This is easy to remedy with your own cables. I found for cable management, getting 180 degree USB C and mini HDMI bend around adapters keeps the clutter way down and results in a clean look if you want a more permanent installation. Product from AreMe and AGVEE worked well for me. UPDATE #2: Some people claim this display only does 1080p or that it only does 4k at 30p. I assure you the 4k model does 4k and your problem is with your display card, cables, source device, or misconfiguration. For those who can only get 4k at 30p, this is most likely a limitation of your display adapter or hdmi adapter. Many will only do 4k at 30p over hdmi, but will work at 60p if you use usb c to usb c (displayport alt mode) This is often the case if you are using intel UHD 620/630 builtin graphics adapters. For people who asked about low power mode. It starts brightness at 15, but it will let you increase it until the voltage drops and then it will reboot the display. Usually I can get it to somewhere between 50-60 brightness before it resets. The monitor is very bright natively so even in low power mode it is quite usable. In full power mode brightness is maxed at 100 at startup. As a background my other portable displays are a Viewsonic VP16 OLED at 1080P and a Viewsonic VG1655 IPS at 1080P.

> 24 hourUpdate - below you will see that I wrote that while the monitor is great the leather folding stand case that came with it was not. The case stand had an awful smell with it. Bottom line up front is UPERFECT customer service immediately came to the rescue to see what they could do to help the situation. Shortly after I wrote my review UPERFECT contacted me an asked what the problem was and I told them the case smelled nasty. They asked if I would take an aluminum desk style monitor stand in lieu of the leather case. I said thank you but I really need a replacement leather case for my travel needs instead. They said okay we will with work with you on getting a replacement leather case for me, but in the mean time we will send you the desk stand free of charge. I received the aluminum stand and set it up on my desk. This stands is sturdy and holds up my 16” monitor great! It is not flimsy and for an added bonus the monitor can stand can swivel to portrait or landscape with ease. Thank you UPERFECT! I few days later I receive the replacement leather and of course I gave it a smell test. Immediately it had the hint of the other cases smell. But this time it was not punget and smelled normal. I’m a happy camper! Would I buy from UPERFECT again? Absuloutly! Their Customer Service is the reason the five star rating is deserved. They read me Patricia review and immediately went to work with me to make it right. Thank you UPERFECT! I wanted a monitor that was not low end but didn’t want to spend the money on a high end 4k. This monitor meets all my expectations for use for office and personnel use. The packaging is great, it came with all the cables you will need. It can be powered directly from my laptop (no internal battery needed) using the USB-C port or if you need to free your laptop port the monitor can be powered and view using the supplied mini HDMI and the USB-C cables. It is a large 16” that’s is super bright and resolution, clarity and refresh rates that are top notch. What I don’t like is the protective case. It has a nasty smell! I wish I could have it replaced. I’m not sure what it is made of but it definitely smells bad!

> 24 hourI had to take my work laptop on vacation after getting used to a 3 monitor setup. This was a great, compact, easy to use travel monitor that worked (and still works) anytime Im not in my home office.

> 24 hourOut of the portable monitors I have tried this one is the best for price and performance, it is super thin, bright, great picture quality and a metal body. The whole package with integrated cover/stand is excellent. It is very easy to travel with and the picture quality and brightness is awesome. It is a TRUE 4K monitor, not like many of the others. You can’t go wring with this one! One other thing to mention is the company support, they are an excellent company with great customer service, very helpful and top notch.

> 24 hourAmazing portable gaming monitor. Works beautifully with my switch. Fits in my backpack laptop section perfectly for when I want to take it with me. At home I can also use it as a second monitor with my MacBook when needed. Colors and sharpness all look great. Build quality feels nice. The matte finish on the screen to cut down on reflection is a great touch!

> 24 hourThis screen is exactly what I need as it pairs nicely with my Lenovo Legion 7 (Gen 6). Resolution is exactly the same as the legion 7 and the screen is just about identical. Excellent for a second screen while travelling. Color is also one of the best Ive seen on a monitor like this. Screen is powered by USB -c and I have been able to power and use usb-c dp through a single cable and run the second screen to its full potential. This screen is truly amazing and one of the few with the 2560x1600 resolutions.

> 24 hourI recently purchased a portable 4K monitor from this brand and I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. The monitor is conveniently portable and easy to carry around, making it the perfect addition to my setup. The screen specs are excellent and the picture quality is impressive, making it a joy to use. What really stood out to me was the attentive support team. When I encountered issues with the shipping, they promptly responded to my inquiries and resolved the issue. Additionally, when a pixel died on my monitor, they honored their extended warranty and resolved the issue for me for free, which I greatly appreciated. Overall, I had an excellent experience with this brand and would highly recommend their products to anyone in the market for a portable monitor. The quality of the monitor, combined with the excellent customer service, makes for a winning combination. I would definitely buy from this brand again in the future without hesitation. 5/5 stars!

> 24 hourThe monitor is very well built and has good picture quality. The included cover/stand is nice, too, and there is an option to use a VESA 75 mount. Three inputs (HDMI and 2x USB-C) are probably more than enough, although a DisplayPort option might be useful too. The on-screen menu is easy to understand, maybe the controls (buttons and rocker) are a bit too small to be comfortable, but this is a portable monitor, so thats fine. Bonus points for being able to power the monitor with a USB-C power bank. I had no problems connecting the monitor to a PC. One issue came up when using it as a video monitor for a camera: the camera outputs a 16:9 image (1920x1080) and the monitor stretches it into 16:10, so the aspect ratio is not preserved. I contacted support, and they were very helpful and suggested to replace the monitor with a newer model that has the stretching issue fixed, a couple months later. Ill update the review when that happens. UPDATE: Ive received the replacement monitor, and it no longer has the 16:9 stretching issue. Looks like its the same model/product, just a newer revision.

> 24 hourThe speakers built into this UPERFECT display do not work at all. The display is connected to the laptop with Micro HDMI cable with a HDMI to mini-DisplayPort adapter. Also tried using a standard size DisplayPort adapter. System does not recognize the speakers. Powering it with the included USB-C wall wart. ===== OnEdit: UPerfect sent me another display (2K 120Hz, 16 2560x1600 QHD) free of charge after I sent the original one back to Amazon for a refund. The speakers on this one work! I like the way the speakers are on the edges/sides of the display and not on the back like some other displays. It works 100%. I had ordered another display (NexiGo 4K UHD 15.6-inch) but it doesnt seem to be as sharp as this UPerfect 2K display. Also, the UPERFECT 2K display comes with a 30W USB-C foldable Power Delivery (PD) block, which is a big bonus. Some other displays dont come with one. My only issue is that portions of the back frame are magnetic. When laid upon my laptops keyboard (which is how I normally use it), it makes the laptop to go to sleep - the lappy thinks I closed the lid because of those display magnets. So, I have to move the display over a an inch to the right to prevent this. (The magnetized back frame supports the cover/stand.)

> 24 hourIf you care more about the monitors brightness and contrast ratio, this monitor is a good choice. And it also has a good appearance. The metal case feels good. Although I might have some problems with the color depth, the support teams provide fast and good service. They reached out to me quickly and provided an acceptable partial refund as compensation. The whole process lasted less than one week. Overall this is a good shopping experience for me. I will also consider Uperfect if I need a portable monitor again.
