> 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.

> 3 dayI 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 like the monitor so far. Feels portable but also big enough to use next to my desktop monitor. The HDR seems off though and I wish the ports were facing towards the back but otherwise, Im enjoying this for my steam deck and laptop.

> 3 dayI got this monitor to play call of duty in 2k 120fps on my ps5. It does exactly what I wanted it to do. Call of duty in 2k hdr 120fps. Also ended up being a good second monitor for my laptop. Does 2k resolution 120fps and hdr on my laptop. The picture quality itself is very clear and looks good. It also has a lot of useful settings if you press the wheel button.

> 3 dayOut 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.

Greater than one weekThis 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.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor as a replacement for my Asus Zenbook, and it was my best decision. This monitor has higher brightness, resolution, and refresh rates for the same price if not lower. Also, this monitor felt very well built in the hands. Outstanding support too!

10-11-2024This monitor is excellent especially as a second monitor for a 15 laptop while traveling. Better still is the outstanding customer service you will receive if you should have any connection issues (which I embarrassingly did). UPERFECT was quick to respond with highly detailed instructions on how to get the monitor up and running fast! They have earned a life long customer as I will look to this brand for my future second monitor needs.

> 3 dayI 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.
