144hz on a 16 inch screen is wild tbh 😬
The article says 130hz via Mini HDMI but the spec sheet confirms 144hz over USB-C. Keep that in mind for your setup.
Does the 490 nits brightness work outdoors or is it strictly for indoor desk use?
490 nits is decent for indoor use but outdoors in direct sunlight will be tough. Best for coffee shops or home office.
another 16 inch panel to clutter my already messy desk setup
FreeSync on a portable monitor is rare. Good catch by Teclast.
Drivers for portable monitors are usually generic. Expect some EDID quirks with Linux kernels older than 6.5.
i just need more ram so this doesn’t matter anyway 💀
The 9.5mm thickness is thin but the weight is what kills portability. Need real world numbers before buying.
