Portable monitor capable of 4k 30hz and 1080p 120hz! The perfect accessory to your Series X!
As an avid gamer, I always look to get the best of the best peripherals for my gaming systems. Warning, I unfortunately do not have an Xbox Series X yet because of the shortages in stock. However, I do have my old Xbox 360, Nintendo switch, and PC that I used to test this monitor. With that in mind, note that the form of this monitor is perfect for the Xbox Series X, and as such, it perfectly complements the console. Additionally, I compared this monitor to 3 of my existing monitors: 2 Dell 2721DGFs (2560x1440p 165hz) and 1 GSTORY portable gaming monitor (1920x1080p 165hz) (all 3 are shown in the pictures). This monitor doesn't measure up too well to the full-size 27 inch monitors that Dell offers, which is to be expected since this monitor is portable. However, it makes a strong case as to why it should be your PERFECT ACCESSORY TO YOUR SERIES X (especially because of the perfect form-factor).Coming from the perspective of a PC/Nintendo switch/Xbox 360 gamer, the monitor's resolution is beautiful, especially when running 4k with a 3090 (sorry to flex y'all, but I swear this was the only graphics card I could get haha). Here are a list of PROS and CONS to make this review easy to read:PROS1) Obviously the perfect form factor: I haven't gotten to try this yet (because I don't have a Series X yet :'( ), but I've seen other reviews and actually compared the dimensions of this monitor to the Xbox Series X, and it should fit perfectly!2) Beautiful resolution: The 4k is actually really well executed on this monitor!3) Included speakers: I mean, they may not be dolby surround sound, but the speakers do the trick, especially when transporting this around.4) Included Triple AAA batteries: Mother of Tesla! This has to be the second time that I've ever received batteries for a product within the same product order! It's small, I know, but it's just a nice touch.5) 1920x1080p at 120hz: This resolution and refresh rate are very doable with this monitor and are competitive with the existing 1920x1080p 165hz GSTORY monitor I already own. Only difference is that this monitor for the Xbox Series X is smaller at 12.5 inches, compared to the GSTORY monitor I have of 13.5 inches.CONS:1) Limited I/O (or inputs/outputs if you didn't know): First, the monitor uses a proprietary power source (as shown in the pictures). While this power adapter is pretty common among most electronics, it could be improved because the current GSTORY monitor I have uses a Type C connection to provide power. Second, the monitor only has 2 2.0 HDMI inputs and 1 2.5mm audio output for speakers. More diverse IO, especially HDMI 2.1 or Displayport 1.4a could make this a popular option for a general gaming monitor where you have a setup with an Xbox Series X on the side (which I plan on doing).2) Minimal packaging: The packaging from the outside was very elegant, with it all being white. However, I felt like the protective foam inside was very minimal. The screen was not covered with any plastic or foam, and was just inserted between 2 pieces of foam.3) Low refresh rate for 4k resolution: With faster refresh rates on most full-size 4k monitors, this monitor is lagging behind a little. It will definitely need to be updated to take full advantage of the 4k 120hz resolution and refresh rate that new next-gen consoles can take.My overall take on this product is that it is the PERFECT ACCESSORY TO YOUR SERIES X. As a PC gamer, it didn't really make an impact on me, and I'd definitely just use my current GSTORY monitor over it. However, as a soon-to-be Xbox Series X gamer, I'm looking forward to using this and taking it on the go! Note: I will be updating this review as soon as I get my Series X, so stay tuned!

Functional and beautiful
I've been looking for ways to make the new Xbox Series X more portable. While I do already have a G-Story portable monitor that I got for my birthday last year, something integrated would potentially work better. Admittedly there were things that did give me a bit of pause.My feelings toward the size of a 12.5" screen and lack of 4K120fps before getting it had me a little disappointed. However, when I got the monitor, the size wasn't a source of disappointment at all. The screen, bezels and all lies flush with the measurements of the Series X when it's oriented horizontally. If it was any bigger, it would not only look ridiculous, but part of it would likely end up in the path of the heat blown out the top of the console. So, the size is perfect for the integrated motif that G-Story is going for.While the lack of 4K120 seems like a missed opportunity, after thinking about it a bit, that's all it is. A missed opportunity. You still get strong performance and you can still technically get 120fps if you're willing to go down to 1080p. As it stands though, if you're going for the quality performance with highest quality graphics and the raytracing added in, you're still going to be getting roughly 60fps, so a 4K60 screen is going to be just fine. So the design and the framerate limitations are very thought out to get the highest visual quality possible with the functionality and fitting of a laptop screen. The picture quality itself is spot on for most media anyone, though one thing that I would suggest is shifting the color temperature when you power up the screen and the console from its default setting to warm. It really helps with overall picture quality and making the HDR pop.One thing that I definitely have to mark as a surprise that's really well designed are the speakers. You do get a bit of 3D sound design added through the stereo speakers. So far, I haven't even increased the volume above the default 50% or any of the sound quality settings in the monitor's settings and I've been pleasantly surprised. Not only is there an impressive balance of bass and treble with good overall sound quality, but the sound is also a bit more realistic when it comes to echoes offering the illusion of movement of sound with just two speakers. There are probably ways that they could increase the functionality by adding at least one more speaker for a bit more depth, but there's also a jack that you could hook in an extra speaker to add that in yourself right now.Speaking of extra jacks, there are actually two HDMI jacks that you can use on this monitor. So if you have two consoles, you could conceivably hook both of them up (a Series X and a docked Switch just for an example). One is rated for 4K60, but you can set the settings for lower resolution. The other seems to be 1080p, but you can set the framerate up to 120 (at least on the Series X. It isn't all that clear which is which, so I actually had to change the monitor output after my first test run to get the 4K60). I did let G-Story know about the lack of clarity, so there's the possibility that they might put more documentation as to which HDMI port is which.While this is a slight issue, just for the sake of transparency, it is still an issue. At least upon first installation, it can be a bit of work actually attaching the monitor to the console. I let G-Story know. I also shared with them a YouTube review where the reviewer also had a little trouble actually attaching the console. So, They said that they'd have their engineering team looking into it, so this slight issue might get fixed as well.

Best Xbox screen on the market.
Fantastic screen, perfect for travel. Better than buying a laptop for gaming. Very impressed with this product and I would refer it to a friend or even purchase another myself.

Red lines at the bottom comes and go but not during game play
The media could not be loaded. PROS: it’s 14” inches, BETTER THAN 12 inches. I want 15 but I’m quite happy with 14. ( Please g story make sure you created integrated 14 inch for the Xbox series X mid gen refresh rumored to release in 2024 November asap!.) But anyway,The hdmi 4k60 port, allows you to also run games at 1080p 120. So the second hdmi port @4k 30fps, can be used to watch movies with out having to disconnect your Xbox so you can connect to two hdmi devices at the same time.I like the that it passes as a free carry on bag at the airports.And I love the integrated styles. So now I never have to set up my monitor because it’s all connected quick plug and play like a gaming laptop.The sound quality it gets the job done. However, i maiming game using razer Xbox earbuds.Cons:The sturdy ness off the screen seems like you could easily damage the screen if you move or open it too fast so I will always gently open it with both hands both side slowly.I don’t think this model has a fan. Shine a flash light where the fan supposed to be I don’t see it. But longs as I don’t have over heating problem it’s fine. I think the responses time is kinda on the slow side. Wish it was 4ms but I’ll get used to it.Overall the pros put weigh the cons. I’m really happy
