CONCLUSION

   The Model O by UPERFECT is the 3^rd screen I’ve used that has an OLED panel (the other two are LG TVs) so as expected i had high expectations from it. The 4K OLED panel is its strongest selling point after all and even though PMOLED technology is not quite as good as AMOLED (reduced lifetime and higher energy requirements) it still produces more vibrant colors, smoother video and crisper image quality compared to LCD (IPS/VA) models. The thin aluminum housing of the Model O was a nice surprise as well as was its weight of just 940g (which however climbs to roughly 1100g with the cover attached) making the Model O one of the lightest portable monitors you can get your hands on today. The 10-point touchscreen works well but do keep in mind that you need to connect the Model O with compatible devices via the USB-C cables (according to UPERFECT Mac OS only supports 1-point). As mentioned earlier the speakers worked well and as for battery life even though UPERFECT reports up to 4 hours I didn’t even see 3 during my tests (so basically this depends a lot on the settings you choose). Of course, even 2-3 hours are more than enough for most cases so that shouldn’t be a problem for the majority of the consumer base.

   OLED screens obviously cost considerably more compared to IPS/VA ones and so the current price of USD789/711Euros (UPERFECT – sale price) required for you to get your hands on the Model O is quite justified. The only question that remains is if it’s worth spending 2-3 times as much for it (compared to a regular LCD model) and that’s something I really can’t answer. My take is that if one can afford an OLED portable monitor and can in some way make use of the benefits of that technology (colors, image quality) then the result is obvious (as is if someone can’t afford one). Price aside however there’s no doubt that the Model O is among the best portable models money can buy today and for that it gets the Platinum Award.
