CONCLUSION

    MageDok is not a name i was aware even just 1 year ago so i was somewhat sceptical when i received their PI-X9 4K OLED portable monitor. Still i was not disappointed one bit by it. It offers vibrant colors, crisp image quality, smooth movement (even when playing games but no, i wouldn't use it with fast passed ones) and well, every connector I’d like to see in a portable monitor. Of course, not everything was perfect and so touch sensitivity is not set very high so at times it would feel slow. On the other hand, the bundled stylus pen worked very well so that’s a good thing. Once again, the two speakers didn’t do it for me even at maximum volume and well i was hoping MageDok would focus a bit more on them (perhaps next time). Finally, unlike UPERFECT which decided to make their 15.6-inch OLED portable monitor cordless (for up to 4 hours) MageDok took the more straight forward approach and so their PI-X9 requires getting power by one of its USB-C ports at all times. This may drive away some potential buyers who want a portable monitor for use on the go (even while in the back seat of a car) and away from power so i do hope MageDok offers this feature with their next OLED model.

    Currently retailing for USD669 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and for 617.10Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de) the MageDok PI-X9 16 Inch 4K OLED Touchscreen Portable Monitor is priced more or less what i was expecting. At the end of the day the PI-X9 may not be quite perfect but it delivers on most things that really matter to most people and for that it clearly deserves the Platinum Award.
