Uperfect M173WJMJ19W 17.3" Black

A 17.3-inch 2K 144Hz portable monitor with 100% DCI-P3 color that's actually worth your money. At $170 USD, it's the best portable panel we've seen in a while.

The 144Hz refresh rate with a 3ms response time is the headline here, and it's legit. FreeSync keeps things smooth, and HDR support is a nice bonus even if the 400 nits brightness means it's more 'HDR-ish' than true HDR. What surprised us is the color performance. 100% DCI-P3 on a portable panel at this price is rare, and it shows in our database. Color accuracy lands in the 92nd percentile for compact displays, which is outstanding. The 65th percentile performance score overall is solid, but the color chops are what really stand out.

The MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 and LG UltraGear 27G810A-B are both 27-inch desktop monsters with better HDR and faster panels, but they're not portable and they cost way more. The ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMGR is another desktop OLED that'll smoke this thing in contrast, but again, it's not in the same category. For a portable 17.3-inch panel, the Uperfect is competing more with other travel monitors, and in that space it's near the top. The 92nd percentile compact score tells the story. If you need a desktop gaming monitor, get the MSI or LG. If you need something that fits in a backpack, this Uperfect is the move.

At $170 USD, this is an easy recommendation. You're getting a 2K 144Hz IPS panel with killer color coverage and solid connectivity. The CAD 300 listing is a different story, that's a tougher sell. If you're paying in USD, this is one of the best value portable monitors we've seen. If you're paying CAD 300, shop around first.

The Uperfect M173WJMJ19W is a 17.3-inch portable monitor that actually nails the basics. You get a 2560x1440 IPS panel at 144Hz with FreeSync, and it covers 100% DCI-P3. That's a combo most portable screens in this class just don't offer. The one thing to know? This is a color-accurate, high-refresh portable panel that punches way above its weight for gaming and creative work on the go.

If you're looking for a primary desktop gaming monitor with real HDR punch and deep blacks, this isn't it. Go get an OLED like the MSI MAG 271QPX or the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B instead. This Uperfect is for portability and color work on the go, not for replacing your desk setup.

Buy it if you need a portable monitor for gaming or color work on the go. The 144Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3, and dual USB-C ports make it a standout in the portable category. At $170 USD, it's a no-brainer. Just don't expect desktop-monitor HDR brightness or pro-level 10-bit color.
