The trade off here is that it makes it a little hard for me to put it into a backpack. I think anything smaller than 17 inches would have been a little too small for me. As a video editor and video creator having a 4K monitor makes it really nice for me to actually preview my videos in 4K when I'm editing.Įven otherwise, while using it, it basically looks like a retina display, which is what I'm used to on my MacBook as well as my iPhone. Both the resolution as well as the size are perfect for my workflow. But the one I got was a 4K 17-inch external monitor. So, they've actually got a bunch of different external monitors available. This is not a sponsored blog, but UPERFECT did send me the monitor for free in exchange for my thoughts in this video. ![]() The big question was, was this going to solve all of my monitor problems while traveling? Another big question was, would I have benefited from this monitor when I was a student? Long story short? Yes, for both of these questions, I definitely wish I had one of these when I was a student and there's one specific feature of this monitor that really makes it for me full disclosure. And I'd seen a lot of people using these at coffee shops and at airports, but I never really had the opportunity to try one myself. The cool thing about this is that these are thin, these are light, they are not heavy, they're easy to carry around. This company called U Perfect, reached out to me and offered to send me one of their portable external monitors. So, yeah, I had no idea what to do about this until a few months ago. I even tried using an iPad Pro as an external display, which was pretty nice, but the iPad screen is pretty small and so it didn't really help things a lot. So, yeah, for many years, I really missed having another display, but I didn't know any solution. I really missed it, but I didn't know any solution other than buying another monitor, which was going to be big and heavy and then having to sell it and it's like a whole thing. But like, it didn't make me feel as if I was being productive enough and I just had one little screen to work on. I remember in my first year at G C I realized that I was really missing my second monitor because I don't know if it's a good thing or not. But when I came to France in 2018 to study at HEC Paris, I decided to let go of my second monitor because I knew that I would be moving around a lot the next few years and it would be really annoying to have to find a place to store it or like it around with me in my luggage because, you know, monitors are heavy. For so many years, I continued to use a dual monitor set up all the way from when I was in school, living at home to, when I went to college in Manal, I always had a dual monitor set up. Basically, I was hooked, I couldn't use my laptop without a second screen anymore. At the same time, I basically experienced a dual monitor set up for the first time in my life, I realized how amazing it was that I could like drag things from one screen to another and then back and then use the second screen to put things that I could reference while working on the first screen. And that's when I realized that laptops can actually have an external display. One day, I plugged the monitor into my laptop out of curiosity to see what would happen. However, I could keep the monitor if I wanted to. I had to persuade my parents a lot for it and I got it on one condition that we had to give away our old desktop to somebody that needed it more. Is this the best piece of tech for students? When I was 12 years old, I got my first ever laptop that was like entirely my own. ![]()
