The Uperfect UColor A17 has been available for quite some time and is currently listed at Geekbuying for about €265. It ships from a warehouse in the EU, so no import duties should apply for buyers located there. That said, enforcing warranty claims may prove difficult, as buyers will have to depend on the seller’s goodwill.
Mobile 4K monitor
With that out of the way, this is a portable 15-inch monitor with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. That should result in a very sharp image quality. The UColor A17 could serve as a second screen for a laptop on a business trip, which can potentially boost productivity. The panel further offers a 60Hz refresh rate, which has been the standard for many years. However, some portable monitors come with a faster panel.
Built-in speakers but no battery
This monitor is based on an IPS panel and sports a contrast ratio of 1000:1, brightness of 300 nits and full sRGB color space coverage. Additionally, it has two integrated speakers but lacks a battery, which means that the UColor A17 draws up to 12 watts from the laptop’s battery. On the plus side, it can be hooked up via USB Type-C with just a single cable, but if you use Mini DisplayPort or HDMI you’ll still need a dedicated USB cable for power. A USB Type-A port is also onboard and can be used to connect a keyboard or other accessories. Last but not least, the 4K monitor weighs around 1.4 lbs or 640 grams.
