Why people pick it

  • Sharp 2560 x 1600 16:10 panel at up to 155Hz, rare in a portable monitor
  • Two USB-C inputs with up to 65W pass-through, so one charger can run the monitor and the laptop
  • Mini HDMI input for devices without USB-C video, such as a console dock
  • Low 6.79W maximum draw for a 16-inch screen

Know before you buy

  • 155Hz is an overclocked figure and needs USB-C; mini HDMI tops out at 120Hz
  • Heavier than 14-inch picks at 0.90 kg
  • Full 65W pass-through needs a charger that supplies up to 80W
  • The host's USB-C port must support DisplayPort Alt Mode for single-cable use
