    Can you test this moniitor with Dex? I would like if you did a full video on Dex anyways.

  2. Had to return mine, it's not as compatible as LG say it is, it does not work with the Lenovo Yoga 7i 16 ARC A370M model which certainly has enough power, LG are mad not supporting HDMI, USB-C conformity is a long way off. Also saw an insane ticket on microsoft support for someone who lost USB-C support on his two Asus Pro Art displays after a windows 11 update. Several months later no bueno, so maybe Windows 11 is the issue?

    Also might be interesting paired with a mac mini for a small portable setup.

    I bought a cheap(total ~100$ while discounted) 14" portable monitor a while ago with mini hdmi and 2x usb c ports for video signal and power. It's also matte and plenty bright (similar to my 2022 FLOW X13). With 60hz it's ok for work. It's not color accurate out of the box though. With a little bit of tweeking it is okayish. I love it for working on the fly. I would only consider spending three times as much if I need the color accuracy and a reliable brand name. Otherwise a cheap monitor does it as well. In comparison to working with one monitor only it's simply amazing. I can do CAD work while looking up a DIN ISO on another monitor or search for details in a document. Without the second monitor it was either a tiny window or a whole lot of alt-tab. I bought it a few weeks after the Flow X13 (upgrading from a chunky 17 inch device with no battery life). Now I can use it longer while being more productive while it being lighter and smaller all around. No regrets at all.

    edit: I can even charge my Flow x13 through the monitor (not with full charging speed though) when I plug the power adapter into it instead of the flow x13 and I can charge other devices through the monitor when it's only connected to the flow. Using the flow as a writing/drawing device in tablet mode while also having the portable monitor right behind it (reminds me of the zenbook duo… only with two whole monitors and no keyboard) is amazing as well.

    Are you able to connect the monitor to something like a xbox if you use a usb c to hdmi cable and the other usb c port to charge the display?

    I really love the idea of having a portable 2 screen setup.
    But I can't justify its price when a 27" 1440p monitor costs around 250$.
    Portable monitors generally cost too much in my opinion. I'm happy we see more and more brands enter the portable monitor market every year. I hope the competition will improve these monitors and lower their price. Think I'm going to keep waiting till that happens.

    I wish I could talk the boss into getting me one of these. It would be perfect for work travel where I'm usually using my laptop on a small motel-sized dining table.

    I have a minor question Mr Josh about resolutions and PPI. Most tech reviewers like you say that I should put it on its maximum resolution when I open my laptop for the first time. So, I have Lenovo yoga 7 gen 7 (AMD) version. The system says the recommended resolution is 2880 x 1800, with a PPI of 242.59. I have a higher resolution of 3840 x 2400 with a PPI of 323.45. Which one should I use now? I normally set the scaling to a %, which gives me 38 excel rows meaning at the first option 175% and 225% at the second option. Sorry for the long comment. I hope you help me.

    Finally someone gets it. Nyc apartments can be tiny and people can be ignorant with "why not just get a pc" as if I have all the space in the world for a setup. My gaming rig is my legion 5 pro on my lap on my bed with a mouse pad to the side 😂
