    I would like to start with the fantastic quality of G-Story's packaging and my bewilderment that its ample padding did not prevent damage as seen in other reviews. Unfortunately, I don't think the Amazon stock incidents should justify a negative review of the monitor itself. In my experience, coupled with the right connections, the display offers exactly what is described in a durable, thin and light package. HDMI 2.0 cable, 1080p 165Hz signal shouldn't be a problem as the HDMI 2.0…

    The USB-C interface is unstable

    when to start I really like this external wearable display, but it has PROBLEMS. IF you ONLY use this display on the HDMI interface from the source device, I think it will work for you without any problems and you will be happy. I had no issues testing via HDMI sources (PC HDMI port or new 4th Gen iPad Air with HDMI from a USB-C hub). I would say four/five stars if ONLY the HDMI interface is needed. The panel itself is very clear and looks very clear at 1920 x 1080, no complaints. However, the…

    Decent, but I'd go with a 17.3-inch 144Hz NexiGo portable monitor instead

    Overall verdict: 3.5/5G story The GST173 is by no means a bad monitor. Unfortunately for the G-Story, the NexiGo offering is only $20 more and is significantly brighter with a slightly higher contrast ratio. I recommend watching the video comparison to get all the details.

    The best 1080p portable panel you can buy right now

    I put it in a Pelican case along with my molded T1 and all my peripherals to create a gaming/mounting device that I can take to work anywhere. The panel itself is very accurate in terms of colors and can do some light photo editing when deployed or detached for the military. The display supports GSync, can be overclocked up to 165 Hz and delivers smooth 1080p gaming. My only complaints about this monitor are minor. The stand can be difficult to install on some surfaces and may require…

    Does what it should

    I took this across the US in my luggage. I used it next to either my 13.9" computer or my 17" computer as a second monitor. I also successfully connected it to my phone as an external monitor for DEX. I have no complaints about it, but I've had trouble getting it to work with anything other than micro-HDMI. It's a decent extension and packs lightly. I'm considering getting a second one. Image quality and viewing angles are excellent. I don't think I've used it for gaming yet as my main screen…

    Could be better - my new rating

    When connecting to my laptop, all connections were correctly connected, no signal was detected. It took a while, but it finally worked. I think the HDMI port is broken, I'm having trouble with it. When set to 165Hz, the wallpaper flickered as if it couldn't handle it. Very thin and light, but when pushed to the limit it didn't have that. Gaming worked fine with my graphics card for a while and the graphics were amazing, but again the signal from my laptop and to the monitor didn't always clip…

    bad two full weeks to leave Revain warehouse when I spoke to 3 different Revain representatives one of them dared to tell me "I can't tell you why your monitor hasn't been shipped” after they had received it from the camp. only 4 days to get into my hands. Also, the case listed in the description is missing, I don't know if my device is defective, but the speakers sound like half volume at maximum volume.

    Low input lag, true 144Hz

    I tested this on my Nitro5 laptop with only 60hz screen. The laptop is great, but the screen isn't the best for competitive gaming. So I wanted a screen that I could take with me to play on the go. It needed 2 plugs to connect it to the laptop as one is for HDMI and the other is for power. I had no problem running this using a USB-C port to power my laptop with HDMI connected to the GPU. I didn't see any ghosting that I could identify and the colors were pretty good and the screen is…

    Small flaw but works as advertised!

    First of all, the monitor I received had an issue with the USB-C input that practically destroyed the screen (the menu still worked fine, so it's not a display issue). I emailed G-STORY support and after a few days they offered to send a replacement if I sent in the faulty one. However, I didn't need the USB-C input anyway, so I didn't need to send it. .The middle monitor in my picture is the G-STORY monitor. Aside from that USB-C issue, everything else looks and works fine. It's very thin and…

    This thing is thin and works pretty decent. Pros: - High refresh rate - Good color - Fast response time - Feels solid Cons: - 165Hz has a frame drop that looks more choppy than 144Hz, causing the screen to flicker. This is easily fixed (assuming you have the right amount of power over USB-C) by unplugging everything, plugging in USB-C (power), waiting for the display to turn on, then plugging in HDMI. The speakers are quiet. Attached are photos of a frame drop test on this monitor. At 144 Hz…
