Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Enhanced Gaming Experience with G-STORY Portable Monitor (12.5", 3840X2160, GS125XU, HD) - Freesync Included by Brian Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A very cool but expensive way to make your Xbox One Series X "portable ".

Okay, so I have to say that I don't know who would want to take their Xbox One Series X to play on it since it's so heavy and big. I think there are several times you would like this. Maybe if you're going on a very long car ride and you have an outlet in your car that can power an Xbox, so take it with you so the kids don't make any noise? Or maybe you're going to a hotel that doesn't have a TV that you want to use over HDMI for some reason? Maybe you don't have a 4K TV and want to enjoy a 4K screen while gaming? Either way, it's an expensive option that allows you to physically connect the screen directly to the Xbox. Once connected, you can use the display to play games and stream content without connecting your Xbox to your TV via HDMI. You physically connect this screen to the Xbox One Series X on the back where the ports are located. It snaps into place fairly easily and holds securely. As an added bonus, the device has a built-in fan that helps keep it cool while you work. It connects to the Xbox via the included HDMI cable. The screen also comes with a power adapter and remote control. Once you set it up, just turn it on with the control buttons and you're done. Besides the 4k display you also have an IPS panel for good viewing from all angles as well as HDR for more dynamic colors, FreeSync technology to reduce screen tearing and you even have two speakers! Sure, the speakers aren't the best, but you can use a 3.5mm cable to add better speakers or use headphones. You don't have to use this display with Xbox. It works with any device that uses an HDMI connection. So you can even connect it to your laptop if you want to add an extra 4k display, although the screen size is 12.5 inches. The only real downside to this thing is the price. That's very expensive. You make a good deal. for the price, but you can also buy any portable monitor that uses HDMI and connect it to your Xbox. There are 15.6-inch portable displays with built-in speakers, headphone jacks, HDR, and FreeSync that cost less than this one. I'm not familiar with 4k, but if you can do without, you can get any portable display to work with your Xbox. What you don't get is this display's connected form factor, which allows you to keep it connected to your Xbox without adding too much bulk (although the fan area is bulky). You can't go wrong with this if you want all the benefits of a high-quality display in a portable size. It offers great features as well as ultra high definition mobile gaming with Xbox One Series X or any console or computer via HDMI. I find I like the ability to play Xbox anywhere, although I won't be moving mine much.

Pros
  • The low input lag makes it ideal for gaming.
Cons
  • Poor Response Time: If the monitor's response time is too slow, movements may appear blurry or slow.
