- Dual connectivity with USB-C and mini-HDMI gives broad compatibility with laptops, tablets, gaming devices, and phones
- Lightweight 0.92kg frame with articulating kickstand fits easily into backpacks and works at multiple angles on any flat surface
- FreeSync Premium eliminates screen tearing and optimizes frame rates for gaming, making it competitive-ready
Cons
- Higher power draw from 144Hz refresh means some laptops or tablets may not deliver full USB-C power to sustain the high rate (may default to 60Hz on older or low-power devices)

Frequently asked questions
Does this work with MacBooks?
Yes. It connects via USB-C (with reversible connector) and supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode, so modern MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models are fully compatible. Older Macs may need a USB-C adapter.
Can I use this on my PS5 or Nintendo Switch?
Yes. The mini-HDMI port allows direct console connection. PS5 supports up to 60Hz on this model, but the 144Hz refresh is available for PCs. Nintendo Switch will run smoothly at 60Hz.
What's the difference between this and a standard 60Hz portable monitor?
This refreshes content 2.4 times faster than 60Hz, meaning smoother gaming, smoother mouse movement, and smoother video playback. If your source device can output 144Hz, everything feels more fluid and responsive. For standard work tasks, 60Hz is sufficient, so the upgrade is gamer-focused.
