UPERFECT UMax 24 Portable Monitor Review: Ideal For Both Gaming And Productivity

28 October 2025 at 00:02

Uniceftech monitor displaying a first-person shooter game with on-screen stats showing CPU at 66% and GPU at 51%.

So, I stumbled upon this interesting portable monitor, which is unusually large to be called "portable", but considering there are users who would want something that can be useful for both travel and regular use, the UMax 24 looked interesting. I have reviewed a few UPERFECT portable monitors, including the Dual-Stack UStation Delta Max, which is one of the best options for work and gaming. However, UMax's big 24.5-inch screen size makes it an interesting option for daily usage if you are considering a versatile option for your desktop and travel. Personally, I wanted to see if I could replace […]
