UPERFECT Gaming Monitor 144Hz 18 Inch Portable Monitor 2K 2560x1600 with Freesync/HDR/100% sRGB, Matte Monitor with IPS /16:10 /300Nit HDMI/Type-C, Extend Monitor for PC/Laptop/PS/Phone

I discovered portable monitors while looking for a smaller high res second display to mount below my monitor for productivity. Im a bit of a perfectionist so wanted high refresh rate too, just to satisfy me when moving windows between the two monitors.I came accross this monitor after buying a cheaper portable monitor from another brand and returning it after realising all the specs it claimed were false. The UPERFECT is, well, perfect. Really nice and bright IPS screen with very good viewing angels. Lightweight case, vivid colours and actually does the claimed 144hz.But what really blew me away is the 2K resolution at 2560x1440 pixels. The level of detail and clarity it offers is just jaw-dropping. It's a significant upgrade from your standard Full HD, and it genuinely enhances the visual experience. The 16.1-inch IPS display is another win, delivering vibrant colors and excellent viewing angles thanks to its IPS tech. It's not just for gaming; it's a display that makes all your content look fantastic. The matte coating on the monitor is a nice touch. It's not as prone to fingerprints and dust as a glossy screen, and it cuts down on annoying reflections and glare.I really only purchased this to be a very compact second monitor but I have found myself using it for more than its original purpose. I travel a bit for work and this monitor has been great for plugging my iPhone 15 into via USB C for watching netflix, playing games or even working using a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.Its a great versatile little monitor, with mini HDMI and Type-C ports, it can serve as a second screen for gaming, giving you that extra visual real estate. It's not just about gaming, though – it's fantastic for multitasking and boosting productivity, too.The monitor includes all the cables you'd need, a USB C power brick and a travel case. Overall I would say for the price this is a great option and definatley worth consideration.

I've always flirted with the idea of owning a portable monitor because I travel a lot and the idea of purchasing a laptop, which can be expensive for my needs, isn't something I was keen on.This portable monitor is really what you make of it and I can't emphasise this enough. I've coupled it with my Samsung to use DeX for completing most tasks nowadays, and because my S24 Ultra is already an extremely capable device, I've been able to seamlessly use the monitor to play games with a wireless controller and watch movies in stunning detail. You have a lot of menu settings to play with to make the display look the way you want it to. I personally find it bright enough for my usage.As I said, it is what you make of it. So if I need that extra horsepower and versatility I simply swap out my phone for my Mini-ITX build, connect my peripherals through a USB dock, and get to work. Being able to use my power bank for short sessions is also a huge plus. I've found that my fully charged 30,000 mAh power bank is enough to play 3 GoT episodes (the superior metric, I know).Personally, I've never used the VESA mount but I love that it exists because it gives more creativity to the user. The magnetic cover is a nice touch too. Especially because I place everything in a portable bag for my plugs, wires, peripherals, Mini-ITX that I built, etc. It makes it easier to keep it safe!Overall, I'm incredibly chuffed. My first experience with portable monitors has been such a lovely experience thanks to this bad boy. Even when I had an issue with the display, UPERFECT's customer service told me to send it back so they could send me a brand new replacement with no hesitation and free of charge!I know this reads like a paid review but in a time where enshittification wreaks havoc on consumer I just have to tip my hat to companies that give a toss about their consumer. I'll never get my OG Toblerones back or a Freddo that isn't 1/10th of the hourly minimum wage here in the UK, but at least I have this 🥺

Amazing picture quality and colours next to my Macbook pro 15 retina screen.It works amazingly well at 2560 x1440 resolution which is very high for this physical size of the screen. perhaps a little too high for my eyesight (I use 1728x1117 on my Macbook pro) so at this resolution i find it hard to see text.Running at lower resolutions though the edges look slightly blurred and feathered, perhaps because not running at its native resolution.Also it was strange that my Macbook doesn't pick up the max resolution unless you go into the advanced configuration (perhaps just a Apple driver issue)

I tried a few brands and found the Uperfect 2k 18inch was the perfect colour match for the Macbook and works flawlessly. Super lightweight and fits a standard backpack, note you can either use the supplied power adapter or for true portability a USB power-brick works well.I used grey scale and colour calibration images running on all screens, and when mirroring the iPad and iphone it was a near perfect match - the iphone and ipad were clearly brighter and had a higher pixel count, but compared to my LG Ultrawide 40inch, it's identical.Loved it so much I bought another unit. The first unit is mounted vertically next to my LG Ultrawide and used for emails and messages, and the other I got the picture-frame-type bracket at the back and use it for travelling and also watch TV hooked-up to my iphone in bed, fantastic size at arms length!Customer service (Anna) deserves a shout-out, one of the units for some reason had a problem with the power supply. After contacting Uperfect and returning the monitor to their UK warehouse, they sent new replacement unit within a week - excellent service and highly recommended!
