  • TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy UPerfect UFree V Monitor Review! I'm a HUGE advocate for portable monitors, lapdocks, and XR glasses. I think a portable monitor of SOME KIND, is the single best accessory you can add to enhance the use of a FAMILY of other gadgets. I also have almost NO interest in taking these kinds of products wireless. I'm just not THAT guy. With that in mind, here's my biased review of a really interesting solution to cut the video cable, and hopefully maintain better fidelity!

    Now that's what you call cutting the cord, I mean cable. Nice.

    Great take on this. The monitor is so small, you aren't going to be using it across the room. You would likely be using your device with it in your hands, so what is being cordless really buying you. It is tech for the sake "because you can" which wouldn't matter but for the large price hike.
    I do appreciate the content, because it further elevates the non-wireless portable monitor solutions you have covered. I have been doing a lot more work between spreadsheets and my laptop's 13" monitor makes it very difficult. The extra canvas of a second portable display on the go would be very helpful.

      Definitely agree, it's about as bad as a faulty cable, but way more expensive.

      I can't blame the brands like UP and Nex. They keep hearing from numbskulls "it shuld of ben wireluss!" but this is the reality of what wireless video looks like. Techies have VERY little practical experience for how any of this stuff works.

    • @sucafrutpi
      @sucafrutpi Před 6 měsíci +1

      @@SomeGadgetGuy Yes and the sad part is that you know as well as anyone that after they put all the development into designing and manufacturing this, the techies that demanded it won't buy it. They will armchair about how it costs too much, isn't the right size, doesn't work from 30 meters away....blah blah blah.
      Keep up the good fight 👍

    I'd really love a wireless display so I can use it as sort of a tablet mirroring my phone. It's kinda annoying having to sync stuffs between my phone & tablet. Samsung has a solution but I don't like having to confine my choice of gadgets to a single brand

    Maybe this would be a great item for Android Auto or Apple CarPlay-operated DIY car head unit, but that's all I can think of. Personally, I'll stay with the UDock X Pro 15.6". That still remains the only lapdock in existence with a detachable screen.

      Yes but reduced range. ANything that block or interferes with line of sight reduces the range.

    I hope that uperfect makes a portable 4k mini led display with 1,000 nits. My sony xperia 1 iv android phone already has burn in issues from it's oled display. I already have burn in issues with any device that I use with an oled display so that's why I prefer to use a mini led display preferably 4k. The oled displays that I already have gotten burn in turn yellowish and the display brightness has gotten dimmer over time even though I have the brightness maxed out and no longer as bright compared to the first time I used the devices with an oled display. The way I use the displays, I already know that they are going to get burn in especially when using oled. I actually like using wires because they just work, reliable, universal, don't need batteries to work properly and superior quality compared to going wireless like bluetooth that needs batteries that need to be replaced when the battery degrades. I have bluetooth earbuds and headphones because the batteries have already degraded and don't hold a charge and my laptops that rely batteries that have degraded and only work when being plugged into an outlet otherwise the laptop automatically shuts off when the laptop is being unplugged and relys on batteries that no longer work anymore. The average consumer have been manipulated by the marketing and deceived by the manufacturers and corporations that wireless is the future when in reality the expansion of planned obsolescence is the future now more than it has ever been. Planned obsolescence became a major thing in the modern era due to lack of ownership and the majority of consumer products and services moving to subscription services that have turned into ala carte instead of food but with subscription services.

    How cant i have a monitor that portable with touch screen, 4k resolution, mini led, 360hz, 100%srgb, can folded in half, wireless, compatible with my $120 cheap phone and price cheap? Then proceed to agree with whatever apple make for $3000+ 😂 😂. But in all seriousness, i'm glad that even in niche portable monitor segment, manufacturer still can further improve their product and they aren't shy to try new method to achieve it

      It's "fine"? Better latency than bluetooth + Miracast, but it's still a 30Hz refresh.

    The dream of a fully wireless future is more limiting than liberating and it's frustrating we just assume everyone 'wont' we have trained ourselves to be the most 'fricitionless' in our personal lives to our own detriment. Broadcasting at mmWave to get the kind of fidelity we have with a simple USB cable is so wasteful from a computer and energy use perspective. Not to just rag on this idea, it's super cool. But I'm more inclined to ask why. Your phone replacing a laptop and tablet is not a 'why' question. That use case makes so much sense. mmWave gives fidelity but loses penetration capabilities

  • @samcurmudgeon
    @samcurmudgeon Před 6 měsíci +1

    Thought it was cool until seeing the transmitter. That transmitter kills its wireless portability - sure you could connect it to a laptop via a cable in a coffee shop or hotel room, but why pay the premium vs even a non-wireless uPerfect portable monitor?

    • @SomeGadgetGuy

      I kinda get it. The company keeps hearing "it shuld of ben wireless!" so they did it, AND they found a higher quality solution to cut a video cable. I'm just not sure exactly who this would benefit most.
