How Good Is The Innocn 4K Oled Touchscreen Portable Monitor?<\/h2>\n

Portable monitors have become increasingly popular in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n

Not only are there more people working remotely looking for portability, but they have become a lot more affordable.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed the Innocn 1080p 15.6″ portable monitor<\/a>, which is one of Innocn’s entry-level portable monitors. Today I am reviewing its big brother, the PU15-PRE.<\/p>\n

Innocn gave us this coupon code to share with our readers for 15% off the PU15-PRE<\/a>: INCMT15RE<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a model number like PU15-PRE it might not sound like something special, but as soon as you take a look at the features and the picture this display produces, I think you’ll be impressed.<\/p>\n

Let’s get right to the specifications and features, then I will talk about what I like and don’t like.<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n

The Display<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 15.6″ display has a resolution of 3840 by 2160 pixels, more known as 4K.<\/p>\n

The OLED display used in this monitor produces extremely vivid and accurate colors. Perfect black levels.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture><\/p>\n

Its max brightness is 400 nits, which can make it hard to see outdoors. It’s not unusable, but I don’t recommend using it in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n

Since it’s a touchscreen, you don’t need to use a mouse with whatever you have connected to it. This works both on Windows and Mac.<\/p>\n

It has a 60 Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time.<\/p>\n

Ports<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two USB C ports and one Mini HDMI port.<\/p>\n

The USB C ports are used for power and\/or for plugging in devices.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>
With two USB C ports you can power\/charge the monitor and stay connected to a USB C device at the same time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even though it’s a Mini HDMI port, it can be used with regular sized HDMI ports since Innocn includes a full-size HDMI to Mini HDMI cable.<\/p>\n

Buttons<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are three buttons, one on the side and two on the top.<\/p>\n

The top buttons are used to control the settings, which can also be changed with touch. The single button on the side is the power button, which also has a small LED indicator by it.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>
Control the settings with your fingers on the buttons or the touchscreen.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Built-in Battery<\/strong><\/p>\n

A 5000 mAh battery is built-in so you can use the display without plugging it in to power.<\/p>\n

When the battery runs out, you need to plug in a USB C cable to both power the display and to charge the battery.<\/p>\n

Built-in Speakers<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are two built-in speakers that can be useful if you’re playing games or watching movies.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect any extraordinary sound out of these speakers though.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>
The speakers aren’t great, but they’re there if you absolutely need them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Smart Case<\/strong><\/p>\n

The included smart case works not only as a way to protect the monitor while not in use, but as a stand as well.<\/p>\n

It’s easy to setup and put away, and protects both the front and back when folded together.<\/p>\n

In The Box<\/strong><\/p>\n

Innocn includes a smart case, two USB C cables (6 and 3.3 ft), a 5 ft Mini HDMI cable, a 45W USB C wall charger, and a microfiber cloth.<\/p>\n

What I Like<\/h2>\n

The OLED display<\/strong><\/p>\n

I can’t say enough good things about the display. While OLED has its downsides, like relatively low brightness, what you trade it for is extremely vivid colors and true black levels.<\/p>\n

Not only that, but putting a 4K OLED display in a 15.6″ form factor results in a very sharp picture.<\/p>\n

I took this picture comparing it to my MacBook Air that has a 2k retina display. The Innocn is on the left, MacBook on the right.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>

You might think that the camera exaggerates the differences and that the MacBook Air display doesn’t look that washed out in person, but that’s exactly how it looked to my eyes.<\/p>\n

As somebody that appreciates great picture quality, I am still being impressed every day with how good the screen looks when just doing daily tasks.<\/p>\n

Browsing the web becomes more enjoyable, watching 4K videos on YouTube is a pleasure, and to top it off it’s a touchscreen so you can do simple things like navigating the web with the tip of your fingers.<\/p>\n

The Built-in battery<\/strong><\/p>\n

While it’s not a large battery, it’s enough to power the monitor if you’re on the go without access to power.<\/p>\n

With my MacBook Pro, I can pack my laptop, the monitor, and one USB C cable and go setup a dual display workspace wherever I want to.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>

On average, the battery lasted about 2-4 hours depending on how high I would set the brightness.<\/p>\n

Smart case<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s a simple but smart case.<\/p>\n

When I first got it I thought I wasn’t going to like the case since it took a second to figure out how to set it up to use the stand.<\/p>\n

But when you get it, you get it, and from there on it’s smooth sailing.<\/p>\n

I buy cases and screen protectors for all of my devices that can possibly use it, but with this monitor I don’t feel the need to.<\/p>\n

\"\" <\/picture>
A smart case can do more than one thing. In this case, it protects the display and works as a stand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The case protects the display, front and back, and I am not worried about it being scratched or damaged in my backpack.<\/p>\n

What I Don’t Like<\/h2>\n

There are no major things I dislike about this product, but there are a couple of small issues, or things you should be aware of before buying it.<\/p>\n
