Not too bad at all, all things considered. The colour saturation looked good from what was demonstrated. I would have liked to have seen it in portrait mode.

[@lyteedge]

I'm currently using a Nexigo 16" 144hz 1600P monitor and nothing else I've tried has come close to its screen and build quality. It also has full sized hdmi input which is nice, although for full power and brightness it has to be plugged in. This Minisforum monitor does look nice for the price, however, especially with it being a touch screen.

[@volcalstone]

Nice. I got two portable monitors rn. One is a 17" 1440p 144Hz and the other is an 18" 1600p 144Hz. Both are super nice color saturated IPS displays. The 17" could do 1440p 120Hz on my XSX or XSS as some don't. 1600p is only great for PC usage tho and not so much for consoles. This new monitor is nice and I might get it due to the touchscreen. 15.6" is a nice portable size as well. I did have a similar monitor in the past at 1440p 120Hz or 144Hz but it wasn't a touchscreen. It was around the same price or so as well.

@@progressivehouseclusive3835 yes, I’m overall satisified. However the only thing that this is inferior to my other budget portable monitors is it needs to be plugged to the power 99% of the time with the exception of laptops/pc. For example other monitor can power up and play my Nintendo switch and iPhone with a single usb c cable. This monitor must also be connected with its power cable and the usb c as well. Extra cumbersome here. Other than that the touch and the color is great!

@@progressivehouseclusive3835 yes, I’m 8/10 satisfied. Color and image is great. The single cable doesn’t work on phone and game consoles like the switch and iPhone. In addition to the usbc cable the monitor must also connect to the power other wise it won’t work. This is surprisingly odd where my other cheaper portable monitors works with a just single cable. The only thing that works with a single usb c cable is my laptop. The cover stand is not sturdy and no matter how i adjust it i feel scare that it could fall if i touch it.😅

Someone correct me if wrong here, but Android phones can only put out 60 hz to an external monitor, so the 144 hz is wasted. I also understand they can not do freesync on external monitors. That is important to know because even if you have an awesome phone, you wont be able to enjoy a framerate over 60 and VRR wont provide you a benefit either.

[@volcalstone]

If mirroring your phone it will give you 144Hz. If doing DeX on Samsung phones it's a different story. Usually it will take it down to 1080p if it isn't a 4K display. The refresh rate is 60Hz but I believe some devices could do 120Hz. Like a tablet vs a phone.

[@gamefax5741]

@@volcalstone Yeah, I have heard discussions out there, but it seems like a guessing game at best. I have a red magic 9 pro and I cannot get it to deliver over 60hz to an external display.

So, if you're using Samsung Dex, you'll want a Bluetooth (not 2.4GHz) keyboard, mouse, and Xbox One controller (or similar).
