> 3 dayThis 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 dayI loved the monitor, great picture quality, brightness (more than what I need), and refresh rate, and it comes with a protective cover. It started to develop some white spots on the screen after a couple of months then I contacted customer support and they were really great, fast, and helpful. They decided to send me a new monitor. It works great.

Greater than one weekI bought this screen for the exact purpose it was intended for, to be mobile and functional. As an IT guy that frequently has to more or less carry a mobile lab around with him, this has not only been a great monitor for personal use, but has saved me in a pinch within the first week of owning it. My issues with it are miniscule. The mini HDMI is a very tight fit and I worry about the connections getting worn out from unplugging and plugging it back in, however I believe that an USB-C to HDMI adapter would work and would be a good alternative.

> 3 dayInitial monitor did not save settings, and even with the brightness control set all the way up, was not very bright. Customer service replaced the monitor with another model that was also 2K, but only 60hz. This replacement model remembered its settings (hdmi with external power), and has two modes of brightness. When powered only from the USB-C along with the video signal the brightness is lower, maybe about 350 nits, but when powered (pass though power to the monitor first) the monitor is really bright. In addition the replacement model has a standard size HDMI connector and is lighter that the 120hz model. Kudos to the UPerfect Customer Support team for doing all they could to make a happy customer.

Greater than one weekIve had this monitor for over a year now, and ran into some issues with USB cables. UPERFECT Support was incredibly helpful in remotely troubleshooting (had to send some pics/videos back & forth) and ultimately shipped me a brand new monitor to resolve the issue. Once I had the second monitor to test with, I was able to isolate the issue and resolve it with my original monitor. They provided the shipping label and everything, so this is about as easy as it gets. I have to admit, I was skeptical of the 2yr warranty on an Amazon purchase, but UPERFECT really impressed me with their responsiveness and action. Thank you!

> 3 dayUna muy buena pantalla, para juegos, peliculas y demas contenido va perfecto con su resolucion 2k y muy buena calidad de imagen y colores. Tener en cuenta q es relacion aspecto 16:10 por lo q en algunos juegos q funcionan a 16:09 se vera una franja negra abajo y arriba. Igual se puede ajustar la resolucion y todo va muy bien. Tiene calidad de sonido decente, pero por su portabilidad y calidad es una muy buena pantalla a tener en cuenta.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor mainly for travel, to my surprise, its lightweight, completely portable, and fits into any backpacks easily. The monitor displays videos in 4k 60 hz HDR quality, it also offers Adobe RGB color profile for color accuracy, for this price, its a great bang for your buck! The only complaint I have is the USB C ports, which dont seem to withhold cables too well—the cable can come out of the port very easily even if you just slightly move the monitor—However, the UPerfect team was nice enough to offer me a free U-Shaped USB C adapter to plug in to the port, and that solved the problem. With the quality, the price, as well as the level of customer service you get, there is nothing else in the market that beats this product, I hope the UPerfect team releases a newer version of this product that would hopefully solve the USB C port problem.

> 3 dayBought this monitor because I travel often and work from hotel rooms. Having a second screen is invaluable for me! I shopped around and picked this one with a backup choice if I didnt like it. Let me tell you! Its a game changer. Super easy with the correct USB C thunderbolt cable. Literally just connected to a USB port on my MacBook Air M2 and it pops on. No issues with lag, screen is bright and was able to use for hours. I mentioned the customer service because I brought the wrong cable on my first trip, I emailed them with pictures and they immediately identified the problem. They offered to ship me a new cord at my destination. Being that I was in France it wasnt an option but they refunded me $20 to compensate for me going to buy the correct cable. Didnt have to do that so much appreciated. Highly recommend this monitor for an additional screen either at home or on the road!

> 3 day2560x1600@120Hz and sound all works with a single cable from a USB4 port. The chassis is thin, light, and well built with great fit and finish. The build actually feels nicer to me than the much more expensive LG gram view. I found this for $170 new and hesitated getting it because the price seemed too good to not have some drawbacks. I havent found any. It really was just a good product for a good price.

> 3 dayThe 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.
