One thing to mention about these Chinese monitors is you can't just trust the marketing or spec sheets. They'll print anything on there just to sell it (100% rgb! 6 billion nits! Professionally calibrated! Etc etc.) But as a photographer it's good you get your actual eyeballs on there. Again, as a warning to people, don't trust the marketing lies.

[@captmaverickable]

This looks fantastic on my Arzopa G1 144hz 1080p portable monitor. Got the colors and everything dialed in. It fits in perfectly under my 24" gaming monitor. Having a second screen right underneath has been a game changer in managing audio and effects in livestreaming. PS. GREAT job on the color in your video!!!

[@johnbgarza]

this is the second reviewer that says the USB power and data connection forces the Innocn to 20% brightness. It does drop it down to 20% brightness that is true but you can then just go back into the display setting and raise the brightness right back up.

I have a CNBANAN 2.5K Portable Monitor, 16" Gaming Monitor 2520x1680 QHD which I replaced it with that same INNOCN 1080p OLED monitor since I sleep with the monitor on but that IPS monitor is too bright and I resolve the 20 percent brightness on the INNOCN you have to go to settings push the brightness manually which I am in a dark room I put it in 60 percent. The other one is nice and bright but it has a weird ratio of 15:10 which is good for reading websites but terrible for watching videos since the black bars are very present. Its very bright and when I wake up its when some displays a white screen since this a IPS screen calibrated to a cooler temperature so white is very bright but the colors are very accurate. It has a nice contrast for being IPS with no light bleeds. I just tested the CNBANAN its DP3 even though I like the colors of INNOCN OLED and my iMac screen better

[@GamerDan89]

I really like your calming way to talk and your reviews seems really helpful and professional executed ^_^ I decided for the innocn because of Color vibrancy and perfect dark while playing smups or other retro games 🥰

[@michaelmonstar4276]

I saw one (which is how I got here) that looks a lot like the 1080p Innocn, by LC-Power in Germany, but it's more like the 4K-version, battery and all, and also in the 600-700 USD range. - I would bet that it comes from the same factory as the Innocn, though, because it seems to have the same design, same shape, same stand, same font as the 1080p-version, but a different name. (Perhaps it's through the same company?) And it's described to be a Samsung-panel on its website. - Also, I saw one short written review on the Uperfect, and it said that they had black lines within a year, but despite the warranty claiming up to 5 years, they wouldn't honor it. So probably be extra careful with it. - But I really want to try the LC-Power, which seems to be superb, but the price is quite high for my budget. Still, it has a lot of applications it could switch between, like a second monitor, a control-panel, an art-tablet, just a replacement for a tablet or laptop in general, or a monitor for something like a console such as a Steam Deck. - 4K might be a bit overkill for the size, but why not at that point. I do want to use it like a "photo perspective checker", like a different perspective from my large monitor, which can be deceiving having such a big image at arm's length, and seeing what it would look like a bit smaller and in a narrower frame. - But of course it can just be a great panel on the side for anything, or again to attach to a mobile device. - Yes, I'm kind of excited about it for some reason. Just geeking out. XD Thing about LCDs, however... While they might be solid for most static stuff, anything in motion like video and games and the like... LCD just doesn't cut it anymore. It's too slow, especially at 60Hz, but also just the pixel-latency. It's fine, but once you see it, it's done. - Then there's the contrast-issue or at least the blacks. I just got an IPS-panel by LG last year that cost me like 1300 USD or something (sorry, I live in Euro-land), but then my dad got an LG G3... which I helped him choose, but had to help him mount and set up. I was reluctant to do so, because I thought I'd basically get red-pilled by seeing and really getting to know an OLED-panel... Well, I was right, I already want to replace my LG IPS within about a year. Not that it's bad, it's a great LCD-monitor, 38" curved ultrawide 1600p, 10bit, high contrast, blindingly bright, HDR-capable, up to 160Hz... But that backlight-bleed is kinda disgusting. And I can pretend there's black, but there isn't. - Now considering an LG Flex of all things. Sure, it's a different case for a side-panel as more of a tool, but if you also want the image to be... say, more fantastic than great, it will have to be OLED today. - This was probably the last LCD-panel I'll spend money on. Sorry for the review, just my thoughts. 😄 Oh, and thanks for the DPI-P3 checker suggestion, I don't have any measuring-equipment, so it's interesting to try.

AMAZING VIDEO! Well done .. I’m looking at some brands using Samsung oled 15.6 4K touch monitors now and the more expensive ones using oled or ips have 120hz or 144hz at 2K or 4K res, but can the MacBooks since 60hz native their displays able to push 120hz or 144hz on one of these ? And also if using an iPad Pro 12.9 2020(A12Z bionic processor) last year before M-CHIPS were used, can the iPad Pro since 120hz utilize a 60hz monitor like these and or can it push 120hz to a portable monitor with that native refresh?

So the graininess is a poor quality touch matrix layer, which doesn't match the screen.

Samsung OLED doesn't have this problem, and the first OLED laptops like Lenovo X1 gen 2 don't have the problem.

I have the Virzen OLED 4K monitor. A few things.. in order to enable OLED, HDR mode must be turned on. Turned off, the panel suffers from awful backlight bleed and the blacks are too bright. However, with HDR turned off, the color profile can be calibrated perfectly to the MacBook Pro. HDR turned on, the color profile is awful. I can’t calibrate the white to look true white. It either looks blue/white or red/white which really bothers me. I’m hoping the uPerfect 4K OLED doesn’t suffer from the same issues.

[@Alex___R]

Sorry to have to tell you this, but if you can see light bleed it’s not an OLED screen. OLED screens have individually lit pixels, meaning there’s no backlight and therefore there can’t be any light bleed. On OLED screens blacks appear truly black, because those black pixels are literally turned off and emit no light. OLED is not something that can be “enabled” or “disabled”.

The problem with cheap Chinese brand equipment is the fact that reliability is very hit and miss and a lot of it might last six months or a year but most of it does stop working whereas more reputable brands like LG, ASUS etc...work for years and years and a lot of it can last a decade. I've had a lot of Chinese brand things from Amazon and nearly all of it lasted no more than a year with much of it stopping working within months, some of it stopping working with weeks. Italian, German, American, British etc...companies who have manufacturing plants in China have FAR better quality control and as such better reliability than Chinese brands who also manufacture in their home country. Chinese standards for quality are low but non Chinese manufacturers like Samsung, LG, ASUS etc...they manage to keep manufacturing quality high and use higher quality parts inside the equipment. Chinese manufacturers use the cheapest piece of crap parts inside their items and that aded to the much lower manufacturing quality control is why Chinese brands are in my opinion just not worth buying.
