AMAZING and beautiful monitor with free stuff! - 9.9/10

Notes: This written review is a slightly more detailed transcript of my video review. The only reason I do both is because I know some people enjoy reading reviews and others enjoy watching videos. Anyway, this monitor is AMAZING. I'm going to break this review into several categories so you can choose the feature that matters most to you! -- Accessories -- 10/10 -- I'll start with these first so you know what I mean by "free stuff" in the title. In fact, you get all the cables you need and a case/screen protector (image attached) It is great No need to buy extra stuff like many manufacturers do Third, you get a free accessory right away if you email them Options: - A small stand if you don't want to use the included lid screen, the doubles as a stand - Longer cables since the included cables are 3ft - Carrying case/cover - Lightning to HDMI adapter for iPhone users -- Setup -- 10/10 -- Setup is very easy Here it is: 1 .) Take unpack and assemble with the screen cover 2.) Connect with the included HDMI cable or USB-C3 cable.) Done!I carry a lot of stuff.I mean my backpack usually weighs 25-430lbs.This monitor is very easy (i I weighed it on a kitchen scale and it weighed about 30.27 ounces or 1.89 pounds) and extremely thin (1.8mm or just under ยฝ inch) so it fits perfectly in my backpack with my laptop, textbooks and more Tablet (images attached). -- Functionality - 10/10 -- I have a 2020 15" Macbook Pro and was using my iPad as an extended display, but it kept disconnecting, freezing, crashing and having all sorts of weird bugs. This monitor works like a charm. I've had ZERO problems or issues with it. I've had it for a little over 10 days and have used it for 5 solid 10 hour workdays. As I said, I'm in grad school so I spend a lot of time in front of monitors. Usually 8-12 hours so it's a breath of fresh air to have something not made by Apple that works so well with my Macbook.--Display - 10/10 --Before I bought this monitor I did a portable lcd uses size and specs like this the only difference is its lcd display etc it is oleed i loved my lcd display thanks to which i spent over 300 hours working and studying this monitor blows however only that LCD. I divide this category into 4 subcategories. 1.) --Resolution -- The FHD resolution (1920 x 1080) is amazing, and naked it seems very comparable to the QHD Retina display on my $1500 Macbook (2560 x 1600). I have attached 2 pictures to this review, they are both the same but one is OLED and the other is LCD. OLED is brighter, sharper and colors are more natural, and the LCD is fairly flat and has a greenish tint at the same display settings and HDR enabled2.) --Brightness-- Since LCDs use a backlight and OLEDs are self-luminous. Typically, LCDs are brighter, but that's not the case with this monitor. It's a lot brighter than my LCD, even with HDR enabled on both. 3.) - Black Color and Contrast Ratio - This monitor produces some of the most accurate blacks you will find in a sub $300 monitor and the contrast ratio gives an extremely clear picture. picture.4.) -- Refresh and Frame Rate -- Yes, the refresh and frame rates on this monitor are below 60Hz and 60 fps respectively, but that's to be expected from a sub-$300 monitor. Also, most companies advertise speeds that exceed the actual frame rate. For example, I had a desktop monitor that was advertised as 60Hz, but when I tested it with TestUFO, it turned out to be between 52.5 and 55.9. Hertz. When I tested this monitor, the refresh rate was 60.43-60.46 Hz. Check out my video review to see how smooth this monitor is. Tone - 9/10. This is the only category in which it didn't get a perfect score, but this is in no way a deal breaker. When I connected this to my Macbook and used it as an audio output, my Macbook didn't like it. This will skip and interrupt the audio. It's not a deal breaker because my Mac has it's own speakers and also I didn't have this problem when using it as a display output for my Mac Mini and Xbox Series X, it worked great. Sound quality is average (6.5/10), not the best quality but does the job. But before you let that scare you, let me remind you IT IS UNDER $300. You can't expect absolute perfection from a portable monitor at this price point. Value for money - 10/10 This product is easy to use, convenient to use, excellent quality and very portable. This monitor should cost AT LEAST $400
