CONCLUSION
It’s quite clear from my Datacolor tests that the 17.3” HDR Full HD portable monitor by UPERFECT could be a lot better not just in terms of color accuracy but also brightness levels. Still, it’s important to remember that this is a portable LCD monitor so it’s not really meant for professional work like editing photographs or anything demanding like that. This is clearly a portable monitor meant for people who are looking for larger surface to browse, read their emails, type articles and yes even watch movies and play games. Honestly, I’ve been using this for over a month now and If I hadn’t run all these tests, I wouldn’t had known about its color accuracy (brightness levels on the other hand is easy to notice even from my viewing angles tests). Audio quality is actually quite good, sure two tiny stereo speakers will not blow you away but I had no issue watching series and movies on it. Finally features like OD (overdrive), landscape & portrait modes, HDR and FreeSync are certainly not common with many of the portable LCD monitors available currently in the market so it’s good that UPERFECT went the extra mile with those. The same of course applies with available connectors since Mini DP especially is something I haven’t seen in the past with a portable monitor.
The 17.3” HDR Full HD portable monitor currently retails for USD345.59/312.79Euros directly from UPERFECT (don’t forget to use the spin to win feature of their website to get an extra discount) so it’s not exactly affordable, especially if you take into account its test scores. That being said i do recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a 17.3” portable LCD monitor but if you can find something at around the same price point with better color accuracy (independent test scores, not manufacturer ones) then the choice should be obvious.
