Great monitor and resolution!

I've been looking for a portable monitor for a long time as I tore my knee pretty badly. Unfortunately I can't sit on a chair or at a regular table because my leg has to stay straight, so I have to sit on a chair. I needed a second screen for my Surface Pro 7 to work on cyber classes and remote work while relaxing at home. This monitor is excellent in both color reproduction and brightness! 1440p is the only way to keep your eyes peeled, and a form factor that's perfect for the Surface Pro as it's close in resolution. It comes with a handy remote control that allows you to quickly toggle between brightness and volume by pressing the up and down arrows. You can also do many advanced settings in the menu that offers many settings. The screen is about as bright at half the backlight as my surface is at 60% brightness. So there are plenty of nits if you want to go lighter. It's sRGB compatible according to the Windows display properties and a good setting for text and application scaling is around 150%. The speakers are what they are, probably fine for those who don't have options but don't think the sound is on par with a tablet or iPhone. There were a few quarks that it only worked on USB-C, it might just be crazy drivers on my surface as they're still working on bugs at Intel, but after some fiddling with the Device Manager on Windows I gotta get it spooked have to create it work. No problem since turning it on or off. Pay attention to USB-C power consumption and average brightness. That's about the average watts you'd expect from a smaller 1080p portable screen that you might have used in the past, but cranking it to full brightness could give you trouble. shut down. This case only happened when I first tested it on a power supply of about 1A and 5V. As such, USB-C voltage and output flexibility should help here. All in all an amazing little monitor, good build quality and no flare or dead pixels. Damn surprised ;)
