Review on Enhance Your Display Experience with the GMK Portable Monitor: Full HD, Freesync 60Hz, HDR, IPS by Jayson Ramsey

Revainrating 1 out of 5

touch effects. Effects on other monitors

I would normally give a score if the article had basic functionality. unfortunately, Revain starts at one, not zero. Hence two. I got mine early for about half the current price on GMK's Kickstarter campaign. I wouldn't pay that price anyway. The company has yet to address these issues: First, this is the biggest issue: yes, it's a touchscreen, but (on Windows 10 in a multi-monitor environment) touch effects are probably not on the same monitor as the GMK- Device. My W10 system generates video for 4 monitors and I can have effects on 1-3 monitors. I have not been able to get a GMK monitor other than the highest like 4 by unplugging/plugging/plugging in the monitors for example. Second, if you want portrait mode, the only way to do it is to turn on the monitor. usb c HDMI/Touch requires (3) wires on both sides. Therefore, to be a portrait, it would have to float in the air. Third, however, USBc occupies the entire port. AFAICT, there is no hub that runs video over USBc, often on, sometimes data but never video. I have 4, I have requests for another 6. So (if you're hoping to use a hub) your machines will need TWO USBc ports. (Works great on my Samy Chromebook with two :-).--- EDIT 210308Album where you can see taps shown on other monitors. Portrait and landscape are in separate videos: photos.app.goo.gltsNtqh7Vx6b6m2zP9 --- EDIT 210501 Unfortunately they gave up :-(So it doesn't work on my GTR Pro. Pixel OG and probably Lenova T430, although for that a lot of adapters and nobody wants to try it as it's useless on any of my machines I have to give it a minimum rating Greg

Pros
