@AzamFahmy3 years ago Love these types of accessory videos, much more to takeaway than a laptop review. Great work as usual josh! 2

@seireiart3 years ago As a digital artist, i always find dual-monitors setup very beneficial for me because i draw on the main screen, and put reference images on the second one. 1

@adityag.10043 years ago His reviews are unparalleled! Good work again josh. 5

@camilstoenescu3 years ago The concept is interesting, but if i am to buy an external monitor powered by my laptop i prefer a large-ish 24" 2k non touch one for the same price. 15

@matthewpackard20603 years ago If someone made a high-quality portable monitor with 14"+ screen size, aspect ratio & touch screen, they'd get my money. Unfortunately, portable monitors makers haven't made the switch to .or at least I haven't seen one. Thanks for the video. .. ...Expand 3

@RaggaDruida3 years ago Thnx for testing on gnu/linux! That' s most of the time the most important part of the review and yet so many other channels forget about it! I just wish there was a 1440p or even 1080p version. 1

@saturnotaku3 years ago A slightly smaller, cheaper, and less power-hungry 1080p version of this display would be great for my usage. 2

@luwi81253 years ago Thank you for a great review! Good that you mention pwm (pulse width modulation) since that seem to really make my eyes red, dry and tired. In other words pwm is a complete deal breaker for me!

@tobylondon18333 years ago Josh, ive been wondering what you thought was better, a glossy qhd display at 300 nits vs a fhd display at 400 nits and also which you would prefer if both were matte with the same specs?

@synek123 years ago Great video! I' m using a lenovo thinkvision m14, you can take a look at it as well if you want. 1080p instead of 4k though.
@

@admingeneral65323 years ago Samsung pro 360 13 inch with a galaxy s7+. No wires, one button setup 2800x1752 amoled and you can use it by itself (unlike a second monitor) so what id="hidden17" do i do with these flat displays? Well, on my desk top i have one (not this one but one) actually attached to the wall just behind my main 1440p gaming monitor (where i use it for youtube, news, gaming, hardware monitoring or gaming chat in the background) i like them for that purpose, they take up no room so the desk still fills like its a one monitor setup. ...Expand

@user-cx2bk6pm2f3 years ago Absolutely. If you work on a laptop and don' t use external monitors you' re missing out. King of the hill is having a thunderbolt port. Multiple all of these features will be available in usb4. And no longer restricted to intel licensing. If you can wait, it' ll be worth it. Usb4 laptops are in development as we speak. ...Expand

@raczyklast year Want a external monitor for samsung dex. Can dex run in 2 k on a 4 k monior?
@

@torpedospurs3 years ago Since you' re running it at 200% scaling anyway, a 1080p monitor at 100% would work just as well, so why pay more for 4k? At the price point i would think adding pen functionality (e. G. Thinkvision m14t) would be needed. ...Expand

@abhigyandatta133 years ago Best is a 17 inch laptop with a portable monitor for maximum visibility and performance.
@

@ReetPandher3 years ago I just don' t understand the point of 4k resolution on such a small display. Also, touch displays that don' t support pen input are just useless imo.
