I own this monitor in the tripod package and it is wonderful. Makes my NCase ITX rig feel truly portable. Downsampling to 1440p looks really good next to my native 1440p monitor. Hands down worth the money.
I travel a fair amount of work so this monitor while pricey, is exactly what I wanted. IPS, high refresh rate and USBC DP Alt mode for the 2080 Ti which nets me gsync compatibility. Perfect monitor to pair with my Ncase m1. Colors out of the box in sRGB mode was close to my color calibrated Acer XB271HU. Thanks for the review as always.
How does it feel going from a 15 inch monitor to this one? I normally travel and buy a 27 inch in the places I end up, however, buying and selling them all the time is annoying. I wouldn't mind this one but I want it MEGA close to my face and cant imagine how that might be possible. Ideally it'd somehow float above my keyboard and mouse so its super close
While I understand your points as to why you would not reccomend the monitor, I am actually one of those customers who perfectly fits into the niche this monitor. I am an airline pilot and have always wasnted a decent size monitor to pair with my mini itx build PC while I am on the go. This monitor fits perfectly in my flight bag the same way a larger ipad would while my itx pc fits in my carry on bag when i get to the hotel i am now always able to play similarly to my pc at home and has been a wonderful choice. i watched your video finding this monitor and i have been very happy overall with it. It was pricey but I managed to pick it up for $379 renewed on amazon (no tripod) and it looked pretty much brand new. Been using your channel for years for making smart monitor purchase decisions and I really appreciate your complete reviews and quality of the reviews thanks!
I have this monitor and want to point out that, using the USB C connector exclusively, on some laptops and desktop motherboards you may experience a slight fps loss. This doesnt occur when using the HDMI connection. I tested on a Razer Blade, a Blade Stealth, a 2018 Macbook Pro, and a ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/AC and observed the same behavior on all devices.
Tim, I love your monitor reviews. Wish that all the brand and variants were available in my country. I still, again and again, watched your AOC 24G2 review and dreamed to buy that. But unfortunately not available in my country. I wish, one day you will make a review on Asus VG249Q and ViewSonic XG2405 as those two are mostly dominated in my country. It will help me a lot as well as many others in my country to decides. Asus one is 25 bucks cheaper than the ViewSonic one.
Please can we have a review of the Samsung Odyssey monitors? Love the content!!! I don't trust myself to buy until i have Tim's approval :) Update: Tim confirmed on other comment that they have had monitor for over a month but review under embargo. Does anyone know for how long?
I have a LG CX 55" that I was using as my primary display with little room to have an extra monitor in my desk, however, I was really missing having a monitor to daily usage and also I didn't like so much to play competitive games like Valorant (for instance) at the TV. Found this and decided to give it a go and it's awesome, loving it. It's pricey AF, but it added a lot to my setup.
I have one of this on the way. I bought it to with my new msi meg trident that is also on the way. I have a really old 19' inch Compaq monitor and I'll be replacing that one with XG17. Only a difference of 2 inches-it might be a lot for some but for me I don't really care because this is a good compromise considering how slim the bezel is. I like the idea of keeping everything slim, compact, and powerful so I set my room in this fashion. Not sure how my new trident will pair up with the XG17 for home gaming because that's what I'll be using it for.
Cool review. Hope there is more in the future so there a good list to compare to. In the future could you guys add some of the power specifications and explore some power consumption testings. As a portable monitor i think some people would be interested in how the device consumes energy and the speed in which it charges. I had a look on their site and it does say typical draw is less than 10W.
@@frozezone22 wow project valerie seems like a kind of useless concept to me. If I'm at home, I'd just use a nice ultrawide. And I really don't see why any1 would need a triple screen laptop for a vacation. If anything, the mounted screens make the laptop inconvenient. But u do u.
I'm actually one of the people who would buy something like this....if it was under 400. I could lose the battery support and deal with more plastic build to drop the price. I know there are some 144hz portable monitors floating around. Any chance we could get a look at one of those monitors?
Would be awesome if the Display companies invent adaptive overdrive based on the refresh rate. Maybe they can take a look at adaptive refresh rate metadata and build up upon that.
Bought this monitor as a solution for playing my Xbox at the camp in the mine I work in(the 240hz is overkill for my Xbox that'll put out 120hz)...selling my 32 inch 1440p 165hz monitor that I was previously using when I drove to the town I was working in as flying with it is a logistical nightmare. I guess I am that niche...thankful that a company is catering to me, can't wait for it to arrive for my next 2 weeks away from home.
Thank you for this! Do you have any idea when could you get the Samsung G7 for testing? It seams too good, so I really want to see your review before I buy. I only trust your reviews because they are the best!
@Ziv Zulander well, me to, who would have said :) on the other hand, if only I could afford it lol. Going to have to sell much more cases before buying that sweet samsung G7 haha :)
Asus Parts are expensive, I am currently still using desktop with Asus rampage 2 MOBO which is 10yo , 10 years ago i only trust 2 brand for my internal and external parts, ASUS and Logitech, of course good stuff comes with ugly price just like Toyota vs Ferrari car,
I feel like this is what ive been looking for, pair it with a G17 AMD flanking a 27 inch and still have space on a standard 63" desk for speakers and still have space
The more I think about it the more I think I'd rather have 2k or similar resolution instead of 240hz. They are getting cheaper now so look out for price drops.
pair this monitor with a Dan A4 build, Logitech G915 TKL keyboard, Razer Viper Ultimate mouse and Corsair Virtuoso RGB headset and you have yourself an extremely portable sff pc setup
Thank you for reviewing this guys - I'm waiting on my tax return so I can pick one up cos my friendship group has monthly LANs and I've been waiting for this for AGES!
$600 got me the Omen X 27 inch... I know there's some merit to portability but, man, that price is hard to stomach when you can get a much closer to true 240hz experience, higher resolution, and no real need to mess with the overdrive levels for the same price. Had this been in the $400 price range, I think it would be a better offer.
Of course it's a niche product, but that can't be held against it. I can't imagine anyone wanting this and then trying to justify a use case for it as your conclusion suggested. Most of its customers would be those who already have a use case for it that this display would then fulfil. In that case one would be glad this things exists at all.
Thanks Tim was looking for this. My niche is mostly bed-ridden with occasional bursts of going in the garden (I've been shielding since mid-March due to basically non-functioning immune system). This together with an hp envy x360 could well become my bed system. I don't play games but do process photos (although I use Affinity photo, wish you'd do a photo software speed comparison!), watch videos and live streams etc. The two machines would give me great flexibility. Both of you stay safe.
Definitely the best monitors reviewer on the web - by far! I'm impatiently waiting for your review of the upcoming Predator X34S (I heard a rumor it's already being sold in India?)
oh wow very detailed breakdown! i own one of these and you are right.. the selling point for me is the 17 inch. buy this only if you have spare cash and is looking for the best of the best portable monitor.. portability comes at a cost
The bit on the back with the tripod mount is a small circular bulge on the and if you use a generic tripod to mount it the tripod's anti slip material doesn't work very well due to the lack of surface area its contacting. After having used a gorillapod tripod with it for a few months the rear tripod mount is totally loose. I can press on it lightly and it goes into the monitor several millimeters and rotates around a little bit.
Hey guys greetings from Greece. Are you by any chance going to review the Samsung G9 Odyssey? I only trust you for monitor reviews in the whole RUclips! I really want to buy it but I want to see it under your "microscope" first before spending 1.700$ Keep up the good work.
Would be a great portable option for those of us with small form factor builds if it wasn't so damned expensive. I've been looking for a portable monitor that ticks the boxes for my needs and this does but it's just too damn much.
Asus never really knew how to make laptops, so they were like "Hey, let's ditch the CPU, put a HDMI input to that thing and call it a portable monitor!"
I have a Scar III and it's a beast, however, Asus software is god awful. I've had to switch out Armoury crate for Throttlestop and Argus monitor (all they have are 5 CPU profiles that don't do what you want, the only worthy profile is silent in terms of how it performs for the cut in power). Then I installed iCue from Corsair for all of my peripherals for the RGB control as Asus Aura Creator ALWAYS has trouble for any RGB USB device. I can't imagine if I didn't know too much about computers, just how bad the software situation would be. It's not a big deal for me since I install all of the software I stated above on every PC I own and clients machines, but if they are selling a premium laptop (2070, 9th gen i7/ i9 and 240hz IPS panel), they should get their shit together in terms of software.
I think they've upped the ante lately though. I just bought a G14 and this thing is fantastic. Magnesium alloy body, excellent performance, excellent thermals and excellent battery life. The latter you would never expect from a gaming laptop 😁. Best gaming laptop I've ever owned and a couple were Asus that were just... ok. Thinking about picking this up for when I want some more screen real estate as the G14 is only a 14 incher 👍
This would make a neat pairing with an ITX system, having everything fit into a backpack for LAN parties. Though 500 or 600 USD in canadian ruples is pretty insane, as I can get a 3440x1440 144hz from AOC or Lenovo for less, though those are VA panels.
I bought the monitor in 2020 and I think it's a wonderful monitor with my computer and desk,yes,XG17AHP is very or the most expensive one in many 17 inch monitors.But I think It's too worth to buy one if you will have a small desk for a long time especially you already have a HI-END pc,I only have a small desk and XG17 is my main monitor,I have an another 10 inch monitor to show more things,and I think they worth well.When you use small desk,a smaller monitor can make you fell more comfortable and good for your eyes.The market have no other high refresh rate /SGRB/TYPEC monitor but XG17,so it's my only choice.If you have a big enough desk ,27 inch monitor is really better,if not,xg17 is a nice choice.
I have one of these, granted my use case is niche, wanted a portable work setup that doubled as a gaming monitor. Is it overkill, sure, but wanted 17 inches 1080p, anything sharper makes the text too small, and most 17 inch monitors are 2K or higher with much cheaper build quality. Built in battery was a must. Added bonus, usb-c works with iPad Pro.
Hey, great review and ive been looking for this for a long time. thanks a lot. As an architect - living in a flat in a large city with limited space - this monitor would check the following boxes: 1. Its portable and storeable meaning - i can easily hide it away in a drawer if i have guests over for example 2. the stand allows me to raise it up above my laptop screen which avoids me getting strong neck pain while sitting and working for hours. 3. the 17 inch is actually a substantially lager than 15 inches and will allow me to work faster To my knowledge there is no other option on the market that achieves this - and i will therefor buy it - because theres no other option. I couldnt care less about the 240hz.
Great work as always Tim! Can i ask you to look into a visual comparison of DLSS and FideltiyFX CAS in Death Stranding? Since comparison we have so far are pretty disappointing an pointles and you did such a good job with DLSS 1.0 and immage sharpening comparisons. Cheers!
Actually this might be perfect for me as visually impared because with my vision this provides good quality monitor in portable form. With bigger screen I need to move my head a lot to see so for me there isn’t so many options to get good screen in 15-17” size. 👍
I enabled charging through the display port and now I get power surge error on my PC and the external display doesn't turn on. It only shows the charging graphic. How Do I turn this off when it is controlled through the monitor interface, when I can't turn the monitor on??
only problem is not the price - for me, this would be ideal to pop a work unit up anywhere, and game on it, but ive come to expect 400+nits brightness minimum and wont go down. I wish some of their non battery packed monitors were this easy to transport, so i could fit an itx build, portable 400nits gaming monitor and peripheral's in 1 overhead travel case on the aeroplane.
This is my problem too. I do not know what brightness i will be able to tolerate at minimum. But i already saw a big diff in brightness lvl and i am not really happy with the 300nits..
I would really appreciate if you tested the display, if it uses resistive or PWM dimming. It's a glaring oversight in all of your monitor reviews, that you never test or report.
I personally think this product would work well with a laptop that doesn't have a screen. Like just a keyboard and has a USB C slot where you can plug in this monitor and use it as the internal display
Any good 2k/4k 60hz-120hz portables? Looking to just attach a chrome cast ultra or to Dex my Samsung s21 ultra to play on Google stadia which only supports 4k 60fps I believe. Awesome content. Super informative!
I think that I might be the niche, that Asus is targeting. I would like a second monitor to my notebook which I mostly use for the development work+ sometimes gaming. I do have a desktop PC at home with an ultrawide 1440p monitor where I mostly do gaming and a little bit of programming as a side project. I do not know if next gen consoles wil support ultrawide, but if not this could be a great addition to the PS5. I wish that the price would be maximum 450 Euros with a stand.
Any use case that would take advantage of the 240hz would be a case where you're probably plugged in anyway. And if you have a laptop, better sell it put those 500 towards a new one.
This is very interesting. I see high refresh rate mobile phones with a controller connected to it. Mini itx builds for people that travel alot and love to game. Ps5 and xbox series x. I think This is designed for people who are on the go and want to have a quick game or 10 with the best experience possible.
This would suit my needs perfectly since my space is not too big, but the price is so high. I’m looking for a small monitor I can use as a second monitor to place right u set my wall mounts ultrawide. Anything above a 17 inch will be too big.
So if you get a display port alt mode cable your graphics card will power the monitor and send the video signal at the same time? is this correct or not? I saw multiple reviews saying that it would not charge and send the video signal at the same time.
I just bought this. There just were no other options for me. I work out of my laptop so I'm mobile a lot but I still want to game with 200+ fps. My laptop isn't great with just a 2060 mobile but it can still run things like Overwatch at 200+ so this lets me be anywhere I want and still be able to game at around 200 frames and 17.3inches vertical is much better for stock charts than using a 15.6 screen. Even if I upgrade to a laptop with a higher refresh screen, I'd prefer this since it allows me to use my Asus Falchion keyboard without having awkward spacing by placing my laptop behind my wireless keyboard and pushing the screen far back.
How is this monitor working out for you? I've had mine for about a year but I just changed a setting that enables in to charge through the display port. Now it overloads the port and won't turn on at all. Ever come across this yourself?
Where's the monitor Steve benchmark?
We need this
Hmm 😏😏
Asking the real questions here
I own this monitor in the tripod package and it is wonderful. Makes my NCase ITX rig feel truly portable. Downsampling to 1440p looks really good next to my native 1440p monitor. Hands down worth the money.
Hey Tim, can you review the Samsung Odyssey G7 and G9 please. Love the vid keep up the great work.
Yep waiting on this too
@Prem Koomr Not at all... The Odyssey monitors have been hyped up since Janurary...
@Prem Koomr Because it was only released 2 weeks ago. But they were first announced early in the year. People have been hyped for a long time :)
We've mentioned this a few times but we've had one for a month. The review is under embargo
@@Hardwareunboxed when is the embargo date. I cant seem to find that info anywhere
I travel a fair amount of work so this monitor while pricey, is exactly what I wanted. IPS, high refresh rate and USBC DP Alt mode for the 2080 Ti which nets me gsync compatibility. Perfect monitor to pair with my Ncase m1. Colors out of the box in sRGB mode was close to my color calibrated Acer XB271HU.
Thanks for the review as always.
How does it feel going from a 15 inch monitor to this one? I normally travel and buy a 27 inch in the places I end up, however, buying and selling them all the time is annoying.
I wouldn't mind this one but I want it MEGA close to my face and cant imagine how that might be possible. Ideally it'd somehow float above my keyboard and mouse so its super close
I would love to see more high-end portable monitors!

I have this monitor and want to point out that, using the USB C connector exclusively, on some laptops and desktop motherboards you may experience a slight fps loss.

I tested on a Razer Blade, a Blade Stealth, a 2018 Macbook Pro, and a ASRock Z390 Phantom Gaming ITX/AC and observed the same behavior on all devices.
I was literally just looking at this on amazon and you uploaded 4 minutes ago, perfect timing lol.
Seems like Amazon might have sent a little cookie to Google and notified you 😏
@@EyesOfByes It is actually true that google track this data

I found the AOC 24G2 on one seller in my entire country and he is selling it for the equivalent of 400USD
Hey Tim, can you review the Alienware 2521HF please. Great video as always.

That third stand leg resting at the very edge of the table gave me anxiety.

Update: Tim confirmed on other comment that they have had monitor for over a month but review under embargo.
Does anyone know for how long?
I've been hoping he'd review that one!
This is an odd review considering the number of new highly anticipated monitors coming out now.
Very cool
Make a second model without the battery Asus like you did with the MB16 series screens

I almost fell from my office chair when i saw the price of that monitor...
It's known as the ROG tax.
DId you see the price of the tripod in addition to the monitor? £386.26 not sure of US or AUS dollar prices.
Is the office chair alright?

Its rather interesting to see what the captions read on every video.
oh wow very detailed breakdown! i own one of these and you are right.. the selling point for me is the 17 inch. buy this only if you have spare cash and is looking for the best of the best portable monitor.. portability comes at a cost
Tim pls do a Alienware AW2521HF review
It's ok but there's no BFI and it has some weird quirks about Free-Sync. ? Some guy on blur busters made an ok "review" for it
Its a good review...from what I see since I am always on the go...this is what I really need...awesome stuff for me when it comes to meeting..
Its the most adorable little monitor ever.

Asus will still manage to find a way to not put proper cooling in it though!

Honestly they should stop doing that at the end of each vid. I'm numb to it, but every time I actively notice it I cringe a bit. heh
I bought the monitor in 2020 and I think it's a wonderful monitor with my computer and desk,yes,XG17AHP is very or the most expensive one in many 17 inch monitors.But I think It's too worth to buy one if you will have a small desk for a long time especially you already have a HI-END pc,I only have a small desk and XG17 is my main monitor,I have an another 10 inch monitor to show more things,and I think they worth well.When you use small desk,a smaller monitor can make you fell more comfortable and good for your eyes.The market have no other high refresh rate /SGRB/TYPEC monitor but XG17,so it's my only choice.If you have a big enough desk ,27 inch monitor is really better,if not,xg17 is a nice choice.
riiiigh... so i carry this then a 2080rtx gaming rig on the go to push for that 240 refresh rate
Unless you want to just play CS:GO
For the price of this screen, you can get a low(er) end renoir laptop...
Bought it for my Asus ROG zephyrus duo as I chose the 4K version and I’d also like a high refresh rate 1080p screen too
I have one of these, granted my use case is niche, wanted a portable work setup that doubled as a gaming monitor. Is it overkill, sure, but wanted 17 inches 1080p, anything sharper makes the text too small, and most 17 inch monitors are 2K or higher with much cheaper build quality. Built in battery was a must. Added bonus, usb-c works with iPad Pro.
Anyone ever tell you that the song at the beginning of your videos sounds like the theme for NiGHTS on the Sega Saturn until it cuts off?
I think the song they use is “Dreams” from Bensound.
To be fair, taht monitor is mostly for people working on ships, or remote security nightshifters, maybe for hotel receptionists
Hey,
great review and ive been looking for this for a long time. thanks a lot.
As an architect - living in a flat in a large city with limited space - this monitor would check the following boxes:
1. Its portable and storeable meaning - i can easily hide it away in a drawer if i have guests over for example
2. the stand allows me to raise it up above my laptop screen which avoids me getting strong neck pain while sitting and working for hours.
3. the 17 inch is actually a substantially lager than 15 inches and will allow me to work faster
To my knowledge there is no other option on the market that achieves this - and i will therefor buy it - because theres no other option. I couldnt care less about the 240hz.
i kinda wish they made a 1440p @ 120Hz too.. neat thing though..
On 17"? Lol
@@riba2233 sure why not some phones have a 2k screen.
I could see it in a dorm room, especially the international travelers.
your camera quality is really good
Great work as always Tim! Can i ask you to look into a visual comparison of DLSS and FideltiyFX CAS in Death Stranding? Since comparison we have so far are pretty disappointing an pointles and you did such a good job with DLSS 1.0 and immage sharpening comparisons.
Cheers!
Review uperfect monitors they deserve a recognition i bought 5 monitors sinsce 2021
Please review more portable monitors.
I was hoping this would cost around €200, boy was I wrong :D
please, can you review the XL2540? so many pros use it and i’ve been looking at it 👀
my cousin works on an oil tanker. he'll definitely buy this
Can you review the alineware 240hz 1080p ips 25 inch monitor
Nice review, appreciate it.
Actually this might be perfect for me as visually impared because with my vision this provides good quality monitor in portable form. With bigger screen I need to move my head a lot to see so for me there isn’t so many options to get good screen in 15-17” size. 👍
I enabled charging through the display port and now I get power surge error on my PC and the external display doesn't turn on. It only shows the charging graphic. How Do I turn this off when it is controlled through the monitor interface, when I can't turn the monitor on??
Does it have a battery limiter while plugged in???
the only problem here is the battery for long term use
only problem is not the price - for me, this would be ideal to pop a work unit up anywhere, and game on it, but ive come to expect 400+nits brightness minimum and wont go down. I wish some of their non battery packed monitors were this easy to transport, so i could fit an itx build, portable 400nits gaming monitor and peripheral's in 1 overhead travel case on the aeroplane.
This is my problem too. I do not know what brightness i will be able to tolerate at minimum. But i already saw a big diff in brightness lvl and i am not really happy with the 300nits..
I would really appreciate if you tested the display, if it uses resistive or PWM dimming. It's a glaring oversight in all of your monitor reviews, that you never test or report.
I personally think this product would work well with a laptop that doesn't have a screen. Like just a keyboard and has a USB C slot where you can plug in this monitor and use it as the internal display
Any good 2k/4k 60hz-120hz portables?
Looking to just attach a chrome cast ultra or to Dex my Samsung s21 ultra to play on Google stadia which only supports 4k 60fps I believe.
Awesome content. Super informative!
Is the asus tuf a15 Model No: FA506IH-AL047T (Ryzen 5 4600H + GTX 1650 4gb) worth buying for 1155.99 Australian dollars??
Please answer...
Great video!!!
Good content, as always.
I think that I might be the niche, that Asus is targeting. I would like a second monitor to my notebook which I mostly use for the development work+ sometimes gaming. I do have a desktop PC at home with an ultrawide 1440p monitor where I mostly do gaming and a little bit of programming as a side project. I do not know if next gen consoles wil support ultrawide, but if not this could be a great addition to the PS5. I wish that the price would be maximum 450 Euros with a stand.
wow this is one of the best products ive seen on the channel
Any use case that would take advantage of the 240hz would be a case where you're probably plugged in anyway. And if you have a laptop, better sell it put those 500 towards a new one.
How do I go about ordering the tripod only?
This is very interesting. I see high refresh rate mobile phones with a controller connected to it. Mini itx builds for people that travel alot and love to game.
Ps5 and xbox series x.
I think This is designed for people who are on the go and want to have a quick game or 10 with the best experience possible.
4:59 cual es mas rapido ? OD Nivel 1 o Nivel 5 ? Please
This would suit my needs perfectly since my space is not too big, but the price is so high. I’m looking for a small monitor I can use as a second monitor to place right u set my wall mounts ultrawide. Anything above a 17 inch will be too big.
You can Enable 10-bit Bpc when connected to 2080ti USB-c.
By chance do you happen to know if the legs of the tripod detach from the tripod for use with the asus desk mount?
Can I just use one of the type C port for both display and charging ?
Is this good for rog ally?
So if you get a display port alt mode cable your graphics card will power the monitor and send the video signal at the same time? is this correct or not? I saw multiple reviews saying that it would not charge and send the video signal at the same time.
Sounds like you’re better off with something like the benq 2540-46s models or the viewsonic elite due to their built in carrying handles.
Do you think I can use this monitor as a second rotated screen on my setup?
What cable to you use for the usb-c connectivity?
I just bought this. There just were no other options for me. I work out of my laptop so I'm mobile a lot but I still want to game with 200+ fps. My laptop isn't great with just a 2060 mobile but it can still run things like Overwatch at 200+ so this lets me be anywhere I want and still be able to game at around 200 frames and 17.3inches vertical is much better for stock charts than using a 15.6 screen. Even if I upgrade to a laptop with a higher refresh screen, I'd prefer this since it allows me to use my Asus Falchion keyboard without having awkward spacing by placing my laptop behind my wireless keyboard and pushing the screen far back.
How is this monitor working out for you? I've had mine for about a year but I just changed a setting that enables in to charge through the display port. Now it overloads the port and won't turn on at all. Ever come across this yourself?
