1080P 17.3" 240HZ Monitor

As a self employed software developer I need to be mobile with light weight equipment especially when flying to different countries as I travel light with only hand luggage. I also like to relax by playing computer games so after looking at various options I chose this monitor.

It's very impressive for both display quality and also the one piece aluminium casing. The flip case which doubles as a stand works well although it took a few seconds to work out how to use it. I've been using the monitor for work every day for a month with no problems and will be purchasing another next month.

I recently built myself a sffpc (in a ghost s1 clone case) and needed a portable gaming monitor to go with it. Was originally looking at the ASUS XG17 17.3 240hz however that monitor is ridiculously expensive for what it is offering. Saw a video review about this monitor and was interested, mostly because of the price in comparison. This is not cheap either, but better than the asus one.
Decided to bite the bullet and get this despite Intehill being a not known company from asia.

Glad I did so, but a few things to consider.
Good: Exactly as described, 1080p @ 240hz. Buttery smooth, good colour reproduction in sRGB gamut. Easy to use OSD and usb c port on RHS for peripherals. Good build quality and communication from sales team. Can be powered and display output via one usb c is your pc/graphics card supports display port via usbc.
Not so good: The included HDMI cable for mine was hdmi 1.3 or 1.4, which meant 1080p @ 240hz was not supported. Had to go through heaps of troubleshooting and frustrations thinking I had poor QC or something. On top of that the included cable was likely to be damaged, making things worse. Bought a hdmi to mini hdmi 2.0 cable and with huge relief solved my issues. So if you are having black screens, flickering and simply just no signal, try changing to a better cable. Buy one from amazon, hdmi to mini hdmi (not amazon basics as that one is NOT bidirectional), the cable must be 2.0 and bidirectional. Bidirectional is a must because many only output from mini hdmi to hdmi, not the other way around which is required in this case.
No overdrives modes available, just the one default.

Other than that great monitor, if you are looking for an alternative to asus xg17 then this is it. Very happy with it so far.

I got this as a presentation and gaming monitor on the go. Since I travel some for work it is nice to have a larger screen to work from during the day and something to game on at night when I have free time. Not only does the screen look crisp and bright the high refresh rate means video is silky smooth and some of my old games look amazing as they can take advantage of the higher refresh and FPS rate.

Perfect for camping and want play some call of duty lol

Tested on fallout 4 using Intel nuc with ext GPU GTX 1700 and ran great
