4K Portable Monitor, 17.3" 3840x2160 IPS Laptop Screen, 1500:1 400 Nits USB C HDMI Computer Gaming Display with Speakers & Smart Cover, Portable Monitor for PC Phone PS4/5 Xbox Switch

This is a great deal on this 4K monitor - it's even cheaper than many 2K models.For my engineering work and diagrams, I need a monitor that's bright and pin-sharp, as there are a lot of fine details to consider. This one delivers. The monitor arrived swiftly from Amazon, just a day after ordering.I've been using it on the go with my MacBook Air M3, and it's been good to go right out of the box. The image is super sharp, brighter than some regular panels I've used, and the colors are great.It gets all its power from the MacBook; I haven't used any external power with it. The display is super light. If you take it out of the included cover/stand, it's surprisingly light.I'm thrilled with this purchase - the price is a steal. The 4K screen appears to be of good quality, and everything else is standard packaging from any vendor, including an assortment of cables and so on.I have a hunch that there are only one or two companies in China that manufacture these products for all these sellers, as the packaging is identical no matter who you buy from or which model you choose.I'm just a regular dude who buys stuff on Amazon - I didn't get any special deal or discount. But, like most of you, I spend a ton of time reading through all the reviews on products, trying to glean some insight or catch a gotcha.All of these monitor panels are similar - it's just the inside display that varies. This particular model offers great performance at 4K resolution, all at a fantastic price.

Honestly the seller went above and beyond to help troubleshoot some issues I ran into, the versatility of these screens is what I bought them for, having multiple external displays is a game changer for productivity. The 3:2 aspect ratio is king for vertical screen real estate. It closely matches my MacBook Pro Display in color and viewing space after some setup. I used the "Better Display" app to customize them some more and be able to control brightness via my MacBook instead of using the on-board hardware buttons/toggles.If you're looking for an inexpensive solution and don't want to sacrifice usability, these are really good options. MagicRaven stands behind what they sell and it shows, the support was prompt and answered my questions to provide solutions quickly. What I like most about these is that they only require one USB-C cable (included in the box) to both power and send display signals when used with modern laptops. These are the perfect compliment to MacBooks, I tried it on my MacMini M2 Pro and it worked well there too. Highly recommend both the 2.5K and 4K variants, both have strong suits. The 2.5K is really slim and has a glossy display that helps colors pop and can definitely be configured to closely match a MacBook display. The 4K version is a little bit better in this regard, it has a matte display is a little bit thicker but overall is easier to work with in the case of glare because it's not reflective. I found the color accuracy to be better on the 4K version. In terms of battery, I keep an external battery hooked up to my MacBook and it does the job of keeping everything going for a really long time. These are really power efficient and perform well for their intended use. 60 Hz is more than adequate if you just want more space to work and don't care about frame rates in AAA games.

I purchased this 60hz HDR 2.5K monitor to pair with my Dell 7670 Workstation which has built in HDR display. I wanted another screen of similar size also supporting HDR, which is why I purchased this. I'm outlining my pros/cos as follows. I will update as I use this, though there is one con which may result in me returning the display if I can't figure out a solution.PROS:Deep blacks! When displaying all black, there's very little light bleed and it almost looks as if the display is off. Very nice.Great size and portability, especially only needing one USB-C cable for power and display.CONS:The cables stick out pretty far from the side of the display; a vertically oriented right-angle USBC cabled/adapter would go a long way toward protecting this port and making it look nicer.It's not a true 16:10 monitor as advertised, so it doesn't perfectly match the size of my workstation display. 16:10 will have an aspect ratio of 1.6, whereas this display is actually 1.5 (2520 pixels divided by 1680 pixels equals 1.5). It's not a *huge* deal, but it does mean the letterboxing in videos are slightly different between the two screens. Not a dealbreaker for me, but others may want to know.Also, I can't seem to turn off the "low blue light" which I assumed was user adjustable. When HDR is enabled, the option to adjust color/contrast/etc is greyed out. And enabling HDR after making color changes just reverts back to warm whites. Perhaps this could be corrected in a software update?And the biggest of all: In HDR mode, the display is VERY washed out....almost uncomfortably so when using spreadsheets, docs, webpages, etc; the display just looks like it has a grey film over it and I find myself squinting to see it better...almost like it's doing some aggressive dithering or something. My native display is a gorgeous HDR display, so this is pretty disappointing. However, if I turn off HDR it looks great, I get crisp text, ok blacks, and a good bright white. I've tried alternate cables (hdmi, different USB-C, using the supplied power adapter, etc)...nothing seems to work. I'm going to keep researching this and try to figure out a workaround up until my return period; I'll update this post accordingly.Update 1: A couple weeks in and I'm feeling less excited about this. There are times when the monitor just looks so dull/washed out, and I can't figure out what is making it do this. Colors lose saturation and it gets dimmer, and then will sometimes pop back to normal.Update 2: I reached out to the seller directly, and I am very impressed with their responsiveness and willingness to help. After a few back and forth messages, they offered a solution that works perfectly! Added 2 stars for that.

This monitor is perfect for portability and performance. The picture quality is excellent, with vivid colors and a smooth 144Hz refresh rate, ideal for work and travel. It’s lightweight, easy to use, and highly versatile. A great value for the price—highly recommended!
