I used to work on office, now 100% remote. Love this monitor, not only now I have dual screen work setup, but also I can simple put it on the shelf after work. I like high refresh rate, since scrolling lots of code, I prefer clear view during that. Also it's perfect on short trips, not only for quick work sessions, but connecting switch as well or play movie from phone. I know I could go with less gaming option, but hey I could afford it and there aren't so many battery powered portable screens with that quality.

[@clusterduckster]

Do you take that hades canyon and mobile monitor on the go? I mean I can't imagine a use case where you need that on the go where a laptop wouldn't be better suited. If you're just using it stationary I fail to see why you wouldn't use a desktop class monitor (and desktop/sff pc while we're at it). Though, my imagination might be limited and I would love to hear about your use case :)

[@ignignxkt]

@@clusterduckster I do. I had a laptop before this. Problem with laptops, at least modern ones that can game, are thermals and updates to hardware. I had an A51m and the thermals were so horrific I couldn't get anywhere near the advertised specs out of it. Upgrading, which is why I got it, became impossible when they scraped gpu and cpu upgrade paths for the laptop. Also, it needed two ac adapters and the battery was useless (lasted about an hour and it had major functionality issues when on battery so I never bothered ). I got fedup and wanted something where if I wanted the screen updated I could, or the computer, I could, without rebuying a thousands of dollars setup. My wife has fibromyalgia and crohn's. She moves from room to room often to keep from getting stuff and sore. One power cord, one cable for power/vid for the monitor. I have a small Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo I use when on the go. I barely have to pack anything and moving around the house is easy with no issues with space use or issues with thermals. I'm very happy.

I really love the innovation behind this product, I would purchase it in a heartbeat - the only issue I have is that it is a bit too small at 17.3". It would not be feasible to spend $940.00 just for an increase of 2.3" 's of screen real estate, when I can get a 25" 144Hz 1ms 1080p G-sync monitor for $220.00. Yes I am still shy of 240Hz by 96Hz, but it's still a better upgrade path seeing as my laptop screen is a 15" 144Hz 3ms G-sync panel.

As someone pointed out, it would be nice having chromecast or Firetv built in for entertainment but with Samsung Phones offering Dex and continuously getting more powerful, get a hard case with it and your set. People are already carrying around $1,300 mini computers in their pockets to primarily use for calls, texts, and streaming. A screen bundled with a keyboard to take along with you when you need to work and leave behind whenever is much lighter then carrying around a heavier laptop consuming more power when most students spend so much on a laptop to just to use it for searching the internet, online streaming, and typing papers. Everything you can do on a phone but with a larger screen. And people tend to replace their phones once every 2-3 years vs 4 or 5 years for a laptop. This screen has many possibilities.

Used to carry around a 4k 27" when i worked a travel job, this actually woulda been pretty cool.

[@SomethingMobile]

I need that monitor. So sweet! Do you plan to use it? If so please update later on what you think with extended use. 🙏🙏😊. Thanks for the great video.

[@adambaros7958]

I have a generic brand monitor just like this one had it for a year and i mainly got it for my ps4 so i can take it around and into different rooms in my home and sometimes i take it to work

[@ikempi]

I bought it like two months ago. Is it worth it? Yes it is. After hitting homeoffice this thing has been lifesaver - giving extra on that Lenovo 14". And in the end of the day I can stash it away. Try stashing 22" "normal" monitor. It is portable. I can work with it outside for 4 hours. I can pop it out on a bus / train or long trip plane. By the way you can hook it up to your usb c smartphone - watch your series or movies. Want to go to lanparty? Grab that small HTPC from TV and you are good to go. All in all I got to agree it is on a pricey side.

He said it was quiet, but if he looked in the settings, it comes set to 50%. It's actually quite loud, and the sound quality is pretty good too. I have one and its amazing! I use it in pair with my Alienware laptop, PS5, and when I want to pack lite but still have a big nice screen with great refresh rate, I bring just the monitor and my Note 20 Ultra(Samsung Dex). Its Great for if your always on the go, and don't want to comprise Screen Size/Refresh-rate/and the internal battery is a plus. From someone who as owned it for a bit, I Defiantly recommend it, for Gamers who are always on the go.

[@dfitzy]

I don't need all the gamer focused features or the size but that tripod mount and stand that would be awesome in a business focused product maybe with a 14" screen

[@michaeladams8784]

I would love to have this monitor for the LAN parties. Y'all should check out C Force monitors again. I literally just bought one of theirs.

[@lonergothonline]

this could likely be used by those weird small-form factor pc's with mobile laptop processors in, like a NUC. I think a lot of emulation enthusiasts would love this kind of display for their gaming needs.

[@bizybee8192]

Man if I was still at my last job I woulda bought this immediately, this would be a dream for travelling for work!

[@IsobarBrokenFlame]

I'm a Global Engineering Manager, so I travel a lot. Most of the time I work on a high specsomeone that travels a lot and wants to stay light. But when you get to the hotel, and you know you going to be there for a week or two then a monitor you can bring with you really helps. I looked at the 15" portable monitors, be decided to go with the 17" monitor just to be a little more comfortable. I have two complaints about the 17" portable monitor: 1. The speakers are pointless. 2. Asus should have made the screen HDR compatible, even if it was just HDR 500. They targeted the wrong market. Professional need this, more than gamers need this.

[@Shaflugi]

I wouldn't buy it because I do my gaming at home.. but say you go to a ton of conventions with BYOC LANs, this thing could be super useful! Bagging this thing up on a plane along with your rig and your mouse/keyboard would be a fair bit easier when you don't have to lug around a huge monitor + stand. You could probably fit a whole ATX setup in a suitcase with a screen like this.

[@robertvantine2810]

I think I would cut a piece of masonite to size and use that for protection and rigidity of the monitor in the bag. Masonite is liteweight enough and strong enough to keep any major damage from the monitor.

[@sdpy15]

I wonder if you could use this as a secondary screen for a DJI drone. Would make commercial shoots so much easier.

[@modemser1k]

Can the Red Camera power this monitor, 1080p in 240 fps ? is there an advantage to. watch in realtime the action ? or replay? please do a test see if this monitor can be attached to a camera

[@darkain]

This would actually be a near damn perfect monitor for taking to PDXLAN along with an ITX build in a Dan Case or Node 202. Yeah, a little pricey, but so is everything with these highly portable rigs.

[@ShadeStep16]

You could use it with Samsung Dex or some form of chromecast / screen mirroring for a nice portable productivity or large(er) screen gaming setup

[@amirbahalegharn365]

use cases: 1-get those 50,000-130,000 mah portable battery powerbank, connect consoles to one of these and then you can play it anywhere. 2-you may connect your samsung/huawei(Dex&other variants) or any other MHL phones/tablets to this,and now you can play anywhere in bigger screen than your phone&tabet screen. 3-you've got a 12/14" laptop and if you need bigger screen but just sometimes,you can use these 15-16-17-18" portable monitors to have it on a bigger screen if you want. 4-and having two displays for laptop users are always a bonus if one can do one things in one screen and the other in the second,if users are moving between library,different environment and you just simply can't move your big wide monitor around; so it's portable if you put it in your laptop bag alongside your current laptop.

[@sushimshah2896]

It's the perfect companion for a sub-7 litre SFF PC/NUC, Optimum Tech also did a similar video on this. It should be at least $100 cheaper though

[@debrebeuf8959]

I love three minutes of blur busters at 30fps.

[@eastman5181]

I saw this at microcenter yesterday and it said they were out of stock. So people are definitely buying them. I'm also contemplating getting the previous gen 144hz version to take with me on an upcoming trip. Have to fly and I'll be gone for a few months, so having a monitor with me means I could bring my ITX PC with Ryzen 3rd gen and a 1080 instead of my beat up and outdated i5 7th gen and 1050 laptop

[@aria2447]

Well, this can be really good with mini-itx builds on the go, for people who travel a lot and stay at hotel rooms
