You can enjoy your games and media on the go with full graphical fidelity thanks to G-STORY's 4K monitor, and it won't cost you a small fortune.
The market hasn't been teeming with options for portable 4K gaming monitors, but G-STORY is looking to change that. The company offers one of the few 4K portable monitors out there, and unlike earlier options from other manufacturers, it also sports advanced display technology such as HDR and AMD FreeSync.
This means you can enjoy all your favorite movies, shows, and games at their best. The 4K (2160p) resolution is overkill at its modest size of 15.6 inches, but that also means you'd be hard-pressed to notice individual pixels when sitting up close. What you're really after here is HDR, which expands the color gamut for a better image.
Connection options are plentiful here. Two HDMI ports should be all you need to connect your consoles, PCs, and players. A USB-C port allows you to mirror your smartphone screen with the right cable, though your power will need to come from the included wall adapter. There's also a standard USB port for powering peripherals like mice and keyboards.
It's not every day you get a portable monitor that offers support for AMD FreeSync, a technology that helps eliminate screen tearing and frame stuttering if you're using select GPUs and consoles. It works alongside a 60Hz refresh rate and 8-10ms response time for smooth gaming performance with minimal input lag. The monitor also has built-in stereo speakers, two 3.5mm headphone ports, and a blue light filter to help with eye strain.
The cost of all this is weight. The monitor weighs 7.28 pounds, which is not great for portability. It's the least of concerns for those who have bought it, though. It has an average rating of 4.7 stars out of 5 at Amazon.
"I needed a monitor that was Low input lag, could fit in my bag, and had high resolution … and this product could not be a better fit for me," exclaims one who uses it for traveling.
Pros: 4K HDR panel excellent for movies and games, AMD FreeSync support, plentiful connection ports, thin enough to fit in a laptop bag
Cons: Heavier than typical portable monitors
