UPERFECT UPlays C2 Portable Gaming Monitor Review by Charles Duante

Hello, my name is Charles. And in today's video, we're unboxing the UPlays C2 120 hertz portable gaming monitor from UPERFECT.

Unboxing

First up, it's the manual. Here are its specifications. It comes with a 30-watt power brick. Here we have some cables, we have two USB-C cables and a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable.

Monitor

Let's check out the monitor. This UPERFECT monitor comes with a leather cover and features magnets that attach to the monitor. Here's the monitor. This is a 16-inch monitor with a 16 x 10 2K resolution. The bezels are slim and it has a slightly thicker chin.

Ports

On the side. We have a headphone jack, a power in back button, and a scroll wheel to navigate through the settings. A Micro USB OTG port and one of the two speakers. On the other side, we have the second speaker, two USB-C ports, which can be used for power and signal transmission, and a Mini HDMI port.

Vesa Compatibility

It is also compatible with a Vesa mount. The monitor is mostly aluminum except for the bezels and it feels sturdy and durable. To prepare the monitor, flip this part inwards and then adjust the monitor like so. So let's check out the monitor.

Menu Settings

Here are the settings which you can use to navigate the menu. Press a scroll wheel inwards, press it again to select an item, and press it up or down to navigate. Then press the button next to it to go back here. You can control the set brightness and contrast. Various screen modes enable or disable a dynamic contrast ratio. And you can also adjust the sharpness here. Here you can choose a great show. You can adjust the color temperature of the monitor. But out of the box, the colors are really good. Here you can adjust the display settings. Here you can reset the settings to enable HDR and power saving mode. Here you can select a signal source. There's also a low blue light setting. Here you can also adjust the volume. And for gamers, you can toggle the free sync and overdrive settings here. That's it for the settings.

Screen Resolution

Since I'm not a gamer, I mainly use it for productivity work. I connect it to my MacBook and it's powered by my laptop. I was really impressed with the colors and details of the monitor. It looks clear and vibrant. The default setting is 1280 x 800 high DPI. But you can also use the maximum resolution of 2550 x 1600 here. You can tell that it's actually 120 hertz. If you use a MacBook Pro with Pro Motion, you'll notice the difference as soon as you connect it to an external 60-hertz monitor. But since this monitor handles 120 hertz, it feels smooth when I use it with my laptop. As I said, I'm not a gamer, so I can't say much about the response time, but this device has a response time of 3 to 5 milliseconds and features free sync.

Using iPhone 15 Plus with Monitor

I also tried it with my iPhone 15 plus and it works with a single USB-C cable. However, if you increase the brightness of the monitor or play a video, the connection will be interrupted because the monitor's power supply is insufficient. In this case, you'll need to use the included power brick or a USBC charger or power bank with at least 30 watts of power. When the monitor is connected to an external power supply, it will charge the connected device.

Using Galaxy s22 with Monitor

I also tried this with my Galaxy S22 and it allows me to use X mode. Android offers more options for screener solutions, which is great.

Speakers

Since this monitor has a 16 x 10 aspect ratio, the speaker is a little quieter, but it's there. If needed, you can always connect a speaker or headphones via the audio jack.

Conclusion

I really like it, it's sleek and looks elegant. Since it's portable, you can game or be productive wherever you want, or you can simply add it to your desk setup as a second monitor. Since this is Vesa mount compatible.

Also, the color on this monitor is really great. It's much better than most laptop monitors. Overall, this is really a NASA monitor, especially for its price, considering it's a 2K panel with a 120 hertz refresh rate and a good selection of ports. Check out the UPERFECT UPLAYS C2.
