Review on ASUS XG17AHPE Portable Adaptive Sync Micro HDMI 17.3", Full HD 1920x1080, 240Hz, HDMI, IPS Display by Doug Tank

Revainrating 3 out of 5

2021 not worth this price

The only reason this is for sale is because no one else competes with the feature set of portable displays. Pros: + High frame rates are great if you're connecting to a display in a way that benefits. + Industrial design looks great, super thin, light weight and portable. Look at my other (calibrated and accurate) display from afar. TBD when calibration can deliver good results, but colors immediately look washed out (with sRGB mode enabled). It's functional but doesn't feel sturdy or reliable. The screw mount on the back is plastic and very small, and when mounted on a tripod or other mount it feels very wobbly and unreliable - not very good for such an expensive display. 1080p display even though it supports 240Hz. - Input Options: To take advantage of the highest refresh rate and FreeSync/G-Sync features, you must connect via the USB-C input instead of the Micro HDMI input. Most devices capable of driving high frame rate games don't have an output that works with USB-C, so most gaming GPUs will require some sort of adapter or accessory to take advantage of this display's capabilities. I ended up returning this display and buying a regular portable display from a Chinese OEM for half the price, and it supports 4K resolution (though only a 60Hz refresh rate), more connectivity, VESA mount support, and much better brightness and color accuracy.
