Revainrating 5 out of 5

144hz was working on a mini-ITX build + more info on how to set it up and run it

Computer: Mini ITX Build (Small Form Factor): Inwin Chopin Chassis (3.3L), Asus B550-I (motherboard) with Ryzen 7 Pro 4750g (65W) processor with integrated graphics (CPU with GPU) At first I was hesitant to buy the monitor due to the lack of a dedicated USB-C display port on the motherboard and also because it can see the integrated GPU. After some trial and error I found the right setting to enable 144Hz. * Unlike USB-C enabled devices e.g. B. Switches, laptops, the portable monitors partially [+smaller W-2. PSU]/full power, you will need a higher W PSU as there is only "one” PSU. It appears that 18W (USB-C to USB-C) is required to power the G-Story monitor when using a MiniHDMI or DisplayPort to USBC cable). Disconnect and reconnect the USB-C that powers it [do this if it's off after showing sleep mode]) * HDMI to mini HDMI transition locked at 60Hz ( with cable included with the monitor + my settings) * "CableCreation 8K Bidirectional DisplayPort to USB-C Cable" allows you to display the monitor at 144 Hz (tested with UFO test and verification in the monitor settings window) [Has the Frequency change not checked via BIOS] *Note: Point the remote near the bottom left corner [I couldn't change the batteries, that could be a problem] * USB-A to USB-C (both the included cable and another cable I had) could not power the monitor [Tested only with display port on USB-C, not with HDMI setup] * B550 - I have USB-C port enabled (not USB-C connector for the display), could not power the monitor ver (used NIMASO 4K video output monitor cable). Possibly due to insufficient feed and W from the port itself. The "NIMASO 4K Video Output Monitor Cable 3.3ft”, "4K Video Data Transfer Charging Cable 0.72ft” and the included USBC to USBC cable can use the monitor as a single source with Provide power even though the USB-C charging box is 18W or portable battery [Anker 18W Slim 10000mAh]. Note. The two cables mentioned are used for data transmission and are designed for up to 100 W (depending on the charging box, connection or battery). Keep in mind that not all cables are made or work equal. I had to go through several cables to find out. (had previously used a different portable monitor) Overall, going from a standard 75Hz home monitor to a 60Hz portable monitor was a noticeable improvement. Seamless web browsing with instant visual feedback, For a smoother gaming experience (depending on computer and game specs). Considering this is a portable monitor for travelling/moving somewhere else in the house, this is a good balance of performance and convenience.
