Review on G-STORY G STORY Ultrathin Portable Direct Connected Compatible 15.6", 60Hz, 便携式, GSV56UM, HD, HDMI, 4K by Kyle Wills

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Decent monitor, some ghosting, missing cables, REQUIRED to use remote

This is a decent average 4K monitor. The build quality is solid and the stand is really nicely designed to allow you to position the screen at different angles with sticky rubber grips on the bottom, which is perfect for the laptop I use. Color accuracy is pretty good. Neutral: The speakers aren't very good, even considering it's one of the only models with a front dome light. They can crackle quite a bit. HDR is mediocre. It doesn't distort color much, but doesn't add much either. The bad: NO POWER BUTTONS, meaning you have to use the remote to turn it off if you don't want it flashing colors in standby when you turn off your connected device. Very upset because I won't be adding an extra remote to the ones I already have. The ghosts are also pretty bad and they are clearly visible in the UFO Halo test at the lowest speed. Finally, the wrong cables were included in the box. Luckily, I had another portable monitor with a USB-C outlet that I tested this monitor with. It seems that quality control when selling returned devices is pretty poor.

Pros
  • FreeSync and HDR
Cons
  • Loud fans.
