Portable monitor with 165 Hz and 500 nits: Ugreen unveils AP16

Mobile monitors such as the Asus Zenscreen ($109 on Amazon) often only offer a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, a frame rate of 60 Hz and a brightness of 250 nits, not least to reduce costs and power consumption. Ugreen takes a different approach with the AP16 and apparently puts a high-quality laptop panel in a 6.5 millimeter thick, 928 gram metal housing.

An optional stand makes the screen heavier, but also more ergonomic, as it is held at a more comfortable height and the angle can be adjusted. The highlight, however, is the 16-inch IPS panel in 16:10 format, which is said to achieve a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels, a frame rate of 165 Hz and a brightness of 500 nits. Even the contrast ratio of 1,200:1 is very good by IPS standards, and the sRGB color space can be displayed in full.
