Update after 9 months of use: Monitor has displayed 5 lines of stuck pixels at the bottom. The seller claimed one year warranty but they chose to refund me a small portion of the price I paid. It's also pricey to send back overseas to repair. Thankfully I purchased the monitor from a reputable retailer (Lazada SG) and managed to get my full refund.
Oh no! Interesting because their website literally led me to your review here of the display. Seeing the issue with Mac OS had took it out of the running for a potential purchase, thanks for the tips!
Hey, Teoh. I'm hoping to buy this portable monitor. Seems to meet my needs most. Can I ask if that pixel issue re-occured? Or if you've had any other issues with the monitor? Thanks!
I just returned this monitor. It did not work with my windows PC and the very tiny unadjustable 4k screen when powered by my mac.. I could not find those video apps you have on this video and had already returned it. Also, I could not get it to project as a 2nd external monitor with my Mac, though I have the Mac working fine with my 15.6 Asus and 14" lenovo combined with a 32". With PC, even with external power supply, all I can get is a blinking screen. Can't wait for next tech upgrade!
If screen blinks, it does not have enough power. Try different power adapters. The power source has to be exact. To change resolution, change to 3840x2160 with 200%+ scaling.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks Teoh - I did power it with the adaptor it came with, but still blinking. Maybe the monitor was faulty. I returned it. I had high hopes for it!
Hey bro, thanks for the great review. just want to check if you have an idea if this will work with Mac mini M1? or do i need to install the apps that you mentioned? appreciate your help. thanks
I need a portable monitor to travel with me and my Mac mini with M2 chips. I also wish for a 17" monitor but this is silly expensive for what I need to edit travel photos in Central Europe
One rule I've learned: Be critical of what companies say, especially if they come from China. For example, I had bought a 250W solar panel, the measurement showed less than 100W (!)
Is there any display unit that i can see in Singapore. Is the screen the same as Asus Anti-glare? I am looking for Anti-glare with touch screen. Any recommendation please?
I don't have steam deck. When looking for portable displays, look for the brightest and get at least 100% sRGB colour support. Look at uperfect or cforce portable displays.
Does it have AMD Freesync? On Amazon it says it does but on UPerfect’s website it does not mention it. I also saw some Amazon reviews of people saying it does have it. Can you confirm?
It does but you may have to install EasyRes or SwitchResX to get HiDPI. I'm using this in 1080P workspace with 4K sharpness. It's a fantastic size and resolution combination.
Hello, please, is it possible to use the camera of the android phone when the monitor is connected? (for example video call with WhatsApp, display on the monitor)? thanks
I am currious, I would like to buy uperfect 17.3 monitor. But I dont know which one is usefull 2K or 4K? I will use the monitor as a second monitor and second monitor will keep teams, outlook etc. Sometime I will use second monitor with sotware development IDEs such as intellij, visual studio code etc. But what if the letter size on 4k? Are the letter too small for the read? Or I should choose the 2k for the reason of my usage purpose
Actually 2560 x 1400 resolution is good enough for 17-inch. 1440P is also cheaper than 4K displays. But if you use Mac, get 4K 17-inch instead as MacOS scaling is not idea with certain resolution and size combination.
In theory it should work. I tried with my phone that has power output but it did not work. Display probably only works with specific power requirements (5V=3A, 9V=3A, 12V=2.5A, 15V=2A and 20W=A)
Never ever buy this brand again. The screen is not even turning on while there’s power and sound while connecting to my laptop, xbox and even i did tried on Nintendo Switch. Contact their customer service and describe the issue with a video i’ve send but they doesn’t seems to help at all. I’d rather buy prism as they really helpful with some issue and decided to 1:1 exchange after sending some pictures and video.
@@teohontech7141 Thanks, I just purchased one so feeling better about it now, was a little worried by some of the negative reviews I found online after purchase.
@@teohontech7141 Few people said the screen doesn't go into saver mode and turn off like regular monitors do and etches the image into the screen if left on for a few days idling with a window open, also others said that broken pixel lines appeared after 2 weeks - 4 weeks of constant use. There were others saying that the screen since new flickers on and off but I found the solution to this last problem is the power supply they are using is not powerful enough, and needs a direct power plug from the wall, along with power and video input to be inserted on the same side of the device, not opposite sides. These reviews were for the type I purchased, the UClassic B05 156B05, not the one you reviewed, but I was interested to know if any quality issues existed from your one.
The stand does not work in portrait. But if you can get the display to stand properly in portrait, eg, with a monitor arm, yeah you can use it in portrait.
Good luck with that brand purchase one from Amazon then I purchased one directly from the manufacturer same part number everything different specs not highly recommended I try to buy from Amazon so you can return it but they had no reason why one had 1000 contrast ratio to to one and the other one only had 500 to 1 same part number so I think companies like this make Chinese manufacturers look bad there's some really good portable monitors made from a few Chinese companies that are really really good and care about customer service and quality of their product and don't just use clipart image to advertise
sorry but these are crap, the ports on them break in no time especially if you move them around a lot. Theyre literally just laptop monitors with control boards, for the price - not worth it
Just bought this monitor, STAY AWAY!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS 17" SCREEN, RECEIVED 15.6 SCREEN FOR 567 CANADAIN DOLLAR. OUT OF BOX WILL NOT CONNECT TO MY SAMSUNG PHONE FOR SECOND SCREEN FOR DEX.

this one no good it is a ips panel and not oled the colours are not vibrant and plus the screen is sunken in and does not look as good as the other models out there, only good thing is 17inch
@@asianboss6355 And can you also compare prices? I can get for about 200 € a 4K UPERFECT 18.4 on ALI (300 nits). (AM)OLED portable doesn't exist in this size, and costs 16 inch around 400 € on aliexpress (cheapest). So a 18.4 or 22 inch would cost? 600 €? that's a bit crazy (3 times more). And your comparison crooked.

I am looking for a 17-inch portable monitor for travel. Your review was very thorough. Your setup comments were very helpful. Thank you!
THANK YOU!
While I'm not considering a 17", I appreciate you breaking this review into sections.
Plz, make a note taking video using the new tab s8!
Thank you for this review.
Great review. Thank you!
i know it's portable but the price is still crazy. for this price now you can get two or three 32in 4k ips monitors!

Look for 16-inch displays with 2560 x 1600 resolution on AliExpress. Make sure brightness is listed above 300 nits.
My screen keeps shutting off and on.
D3:HDMI
1080p@60.0hz
H:67.5KHz
PCLK:148.5MHz
HDCP disabled
can anyone help?
Might not have enough power so try connecting power supply to it
Yikes. It’s rated at 400 nits, right? 207 nits isnt even close to rated.
yeah, thought the same... what the hell @Teoh on Tech mind elaborating on this?
One rule I've learned: Be critical of what companies say, especially if they come from China. For example, I had bought a 250W solar panel, the measurement showed less than 100W (!)
Mine isn’t able to achieve maximum brightness and is connected to a power supply
Is there any display unit that i can see in Singapore. Is the screen the same as Asus Anti-glare? I am looking for Anti-glare with touch screen. Any recommendation please?
I think UPerfect sells their display exclusively online. Most anti-glare displays should look similar. Anti-glare displays are not touchscreen.
Wow Nice!

Hey man great video. Can I ask how you set 4k resolution with 1080p work space? (I’m planing to use with my old huawei matebook x pro)
Go into display settings, choose 3840x2160 resolution, then choose scale 200%
hello Teoh,. So this screen won't work with my m1 MacBook Pro? Thanks
Is this unit hdmi 2.0 4K HDR compliant via HDMI?
4K yes. No HDR because it cannot reach HDR brightness
Does the monitor go into sleep mode after shutting down the PC / Mac ? Or do you need to manually turn it off / unplug ? Thank you !
It goes to sleep and wake together with the computer.
Nice. Thanks for the review. ☺
Which size is better for portable monitor 15.6 or 17.3?
15.6 if you have to carry around the display very often. 17 if you don't have to carry around that often.
For anyone buying uperfect portable monitor or similar designed. They are overly exaggerated the spec.
Brightness could be better with this. What else did they exaggerate?
Do you have a steam deck? Planning to get uperfect. What is the best portable monitor for it?
I don't have steam deck. When looking for portable displays, look for the brightest and get at least 100% sRGB colour support. Look at uperfect or cforce portable displays.
Does it have AMD Freesync? On Amazon it says it does but on UPerfect’s website it does not mention it. I also saw some Amazon reviews of people saying it does have it. Can you confirm?
There is FreeSync in the settings but I don't have a gaming PC right now to test
Thank you for best review. I'm use Macbook PRO M1 Max. Is it support HiDPI?
It does but you may have to install EasyRes or SwitchResX to get HiDPI. I'm using this in 1080P workspace with 4K sharpness. It's a fantastic size and resolution combination.
@@teohontech7141 Thank you very much.
may I ask if it can work with a macbook air with only one cable for power and display? for the 17.3 inch? thanks in advance.

Can this be powered by a laptop itself? Im looking towards portability and not very keen on using a power adapter
You can. But based on my experience I was only able to get brightness to 90% when connected to laptop.
