Greater than one weekI bought this monitor to use as a second screen for my desktop. I set it as portrait, so that it fits a word document, Discord or internet tab. I have had no problems so far (couple months now). I bought this monitor thinking that the higher refresh rate would be good to match my main monitor, but it is it set as portrait mode, it goes down to 60Hz. But with that difference,I have had no stuttering between the two. Yea some applications have trouble filling the screen (too small or too much that it goes into the other monitor) but it has been a smooth experience. HOWEVER there are some things that you will need in order to make this monitor work. 1.) Longer hdmi and power cables. The box comes with 3ft cables and they are too short for any set up besides a laptop. I was using a longer cable and different power block to supply the monitor, but it would black out every now and then. But that was because I was using a usb c to a, not usb c to c cable, which the box comes with. Once I got the correct cable to use with the power block the monitor comes with, I’ve had no issues. 2.) Very tiny screws. I bought a monitor mount off Amazon since the monitor claims to have a universal Versa mount. While it does, the screw holes are definitely not universal, for they are very very tiny. I had to dig around and find my own screws, and even then the screws were too long so I have the monitor being “hung” by the mount. So with that said, it’s good small secondary monitor. Just wish they gave you cables that were long enough and screws to use for mounting.

Greater than one weekI have tested this with PC, Steam Deck, and iPhone and everything has worked flawlessly. Initially there was an issue with an adapter for iPhones but reaching out to the wonderful support team, they sent me an adapter immediately. The screen itself is larger than I thought and the 2k resolution gives wonderful digital real estate to work with. The included cables worked out of the box and lengths were good, The screen can get very bright however I was using this indoors so I never maxed that aspect. It was lightweight and travels with me everyday, highly recommended.

> 3 dayComing from years of using an Apple Cinema Display for my workstation, I was looking for something more compact that had good USB-C support (sufficient power delivery for a Macbook 12 Retina and the ability to act as a hub). 4K wasnt a must-have, but at the price point, and because I find the added sharpness of a 4K display helps with legibility of text (for coding 8 hours a day), I decided to indulge. This monitor checked all of these boxes - so order placed. TL;DR: This monitor completely satisfies my needs, presents a beautiful image, functions very well, and is backed by top-notch support. It presents a stunningly sharp image with vibrant colors, is bright enough in a sun-lit room that I dont have to push the brightness setting to 100%, works fine with power delivery (be sure to use the provided USB-C cables to connect the computer and monitor; some of my other data cables would not work), and the single USB-C OTG port allows you to connect a USB device - a blessing when used with a machine like the Macbook that sports a single USB-C port. This means that, when combined with a powered USB hub, this monitor makes a complete docking solution. Some more incidental aspects: The OSD control includes a thumbwheel-type rocker switch that you press in when selecting a menu option. I like the switch, and the interface is quite intuitive, but I could see perhaps some people - with large hands, maybe - finding the rocker switch to be a bit fiddly due to its small size and the need to depress it. Another aspect to consider is that the power button must be depressed for a few seconds to turn the unit off. This makes sense, as otherwise it might be too easy to accidentally turn off the monitor, cutting power delivery and disabling the OTG device, but Im used to leaving power saving mode off and turning off the monitor when Im done with it - so this is a minor annoyance for me. The included magnetically-attached case / temporary stand works very well, with notches for two different angles (though I have since put it on a stand using VESA mount and M4x6mm bolts). Heres where my experience with UPERFECT support comes in. I use this as my main monitor for programming work, and I like to work with dark backgrounds. The unit I received did seem to have two significant light leaks that were out of the ordinary. I suspected it might have something to do with the way the screen was mounted in the case. I think that for a lot of uses, especially with those typically light backgrounds, these leaks would have gone unnoticed. I debated whether I could just live with them - but in the end they seemed to be distracting enough that I felt I would have regretted not inquiring about an exchange. I reached out to UPERFECT, and they replied within 12 hours, offering to send a replacement. They assured that they would check the replacement panel for light leaks or other issues. I thought they mentioned something about an overseas warehouse, so I was prepared to wait a while for a replacement. Imagine my surprise when less than two days later a replacement monitor shows up that was actually shipped from nearby, within the US. This unit had no issues with light leaks and has been performing brilliantly. They provided a return label for shipping, as expected. In all communications, they have responded promptly - within 24 hours - and have been courteous and professional. All in all, this is a very affordable and versatile unit with amazing image quality, backed by excellent support. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this monitor!

> 3 dayLike the title says this monitor is dope small portable and looks great it’s even a higher resolution than my ultra wide I primarily game on. Using this as a second monitor is well worth it, when I had issues with power supply the support was insanely helpful!

> 3 dayOverall, there are some cheaper 16 external LCD with 2560x1600 QHD resolution, but those do not have 100% RGB color, 500 nit brightness, and 120Hz refresh rate. If budget is your first priority and you only care about the resolution, then there are other monitors that are at least 40% cheaper. If you like to pay a little extra to get the best you can, then I think this one is worth considering. The monitor come with a 20W AC adapter, two USB C cables, one HDMI cable and a magnetic attached cover/stand. The screen looks beautiful and single USB C can provide its power plus the video signal. There are two USB C connectors on the monitor, to maximize the brightness, you will need to connect external power (through a 20W ac adapter) through one of the USB C connectors. So far, I have two complaints: There is a rocker switch to you to change setting and to adjust the volume, and this switch feels cheap and I am concerning the longevity. The second complaint is the provided USB cables are only 3 ft long, to use AC adapter, I think 6 ft are more ideal length for a power cable. Other than that, everything works perfectly and I really enjoy the additional real-estate while working on my laptop. Overall, I recommended this monitor. Considering the 120HZ, 16:10 ratio high resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 100% RGB, I think this monitor is definitely worth its price.

Greater than one weekThis review is for the Perfect 2k Screen, not the 4k model. I hardly write reviews but figured Id try and help someone out that may be looking at this screen. I have done many tests and wanted to share my thoughts! I am an avid gamer and have all consoles, as well as have a MacBook and iPads. I primarily wanted this screen to take with me whenever I went to play games with my buddies at their house. See below. Thanks! Computer: - Works great as a secondary display for my M2 MacBook Air. The thunderbolt 3 cables that ship with it supply power and data transmissions, so just the one cable is nice and works great! Nintendo Switch: - Works great with switch, thunderbolt 3 again is a one cable deal and sends power and data through 1 cable which is great! PS5: - Excellent on PS5, can use the HDMI to Mini HDMI and a Thunderbolt 3 cable to provide power from the console to the screen. Get 1440p resolution with 120hz refresh! - HDR also works great on PS5, automatic as soon as you plug in - You can go to the PS5 video settings to make sure everything is on and what not Xbox: - Read the reviews and took a while to find, but YES, you can push 1440p with the xbox. Go into settings, Video and Display. Under the Advanced Column, youll see Video Fidelity and Overrides, click that and click the override that says HDMI. Once it changes, go back and then select the 1440p screen resolution. - HDR is a little funky on the Xbox (whereas on PS5 its automatic). The On screen settings for HDR is Off, Auto, and 2084. You can go into the screen settings and manually push HDR, which looks decent but is a little dark. Auto and Off make things more visible. No idea why Xbox cant see and auto detect it as HDR, but again, this isnt a huge issue. Im just happy I finally found how to push 1440p on the screen with Xbox. Couple other things: - I was initially concerned with the 16:10 aspect ratio on the consoles. Yes, it squeezes the picture a little, but its not that bad, and after a couple min of playing your eyes will adjust and it wont be super noticeable. - I also purchased the AYY 16 2K and compared it to the UPerfect screen. Both screens look physically pretty much identical and their user interfaces and ports are all pretty much the same. Ultimately, I liked the UPerfect better as the colors popped a little more and looked better (irregardless of HDR on vs. off). I did like the cables the AYY shipped with a little better, but thats hardly an option to choose one over the other. Hope this helps someone else make their decision when it comes to deciding on what screen to get. Thanks so much!

> 3 dayBought this to share my photography/video when I am out showing them their photographs/edited videos that they would like edited more (in the case of videos) or purchase photographs from their photo/video shoot. The monitor was great, then all of a sudden when out on a client call it would not work. Immediately emailed Customer Support, first via Amazon, then through emails, and within a matter of days, had a new monitor in hand and working perfectly so far.

21-11-2024Update March 20, 2023 The seller was very quick to respond to my issue. The customer experience is nothing less than stellar. I wholeheartedly recommend. Firstly for context, this is my 3rd Uperfect monitor. and my fourth portable monitor. So I have a fair bit of experience with the brand, and for comparison, a competing brand, LG. I have the LG Gram + view portable. That monitor plain knocks it out of the ball park in terms of image quality. it is a 2K 16 inch with a comparable 2560*1600 16:10 ratio. Comparable to the QLED Uperfect in terms of image quality. but the Uperfect 15.6 inch Qled in this case is bested as it is only 1080 FHD and is a small unit with a 16:9 aspect ratio. I bought the 2K Uperfect because the LG does not have input selection. You have to manually plug and unplug cables, watch the LG Logo before your second source comes on. Uperfect has input selection, meaning that you can attach two (even three) devices to each of the inputs and switch between them using the input selector. The other two previous monitors did this seamlessly. on all fronts, build quality, color, very narrow bezels, no big lip on the lower bottom of the screen etc....this is superior to any other portable ive used.

> 3 dayIf 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.
