SOTSU FlipAction Pro 16" Premium Portable Monitor | Super Compact | Pivot Rotate | 2560x1600 DCI P3 | Full Metal CNC | USB-C or HDMI | Perfect Match for Mac and Windows | 2-yr Warranty

I have used half a dozen portable displays. This is the priciest and also head and shoulders above most of what’s out there. What make up for its mediocre specs (2560x1600, 60Hz, 350nits) are two things: outstanding design and effortless compatibility. The display looks and feels just like an iPad with a built-in kick stand. It offers more positioning options than I could reasonably expect or imagine. The base conveniently snaps onto the back of the display magnetically. The whole thing fits snugly into its protective sleeve. The included cable is thoughtfully L-shaped on one end. A single large wheel button offers easy access to menu and settings. Ports are smartly placed on the edges of the kick stand. One can’t help wondering if Apple played a hand in the overall design. Speaking of Apple, Macs notoriously don’t play well with non-Apple displays. This is the only portable display I’ve tried that gets correctly recognized by both my Macs and my iPad Pro for its resolution, ratio, and HDR capability without me having to do any fiddling. It works effortlessly with PCs as well. It’s a glossy finish, making image vibrant and colors rich. There is some reflection as expected, though not as bad as some other glossy portable displays I have. Cons, very few and not deal breakers: - The magnets connecting the base and the display aren’t very strong. The base can fall off if you hold the display screen side up without supporting the base. - The seams on the protective case came loose at the opening after two days. I’d prefer for it to be slightly looser and with zippers. - For the price, you’re mostly paying for the design (aesthetics and usability). Similarly priced ViewSonic 15.6” OLED 4K portable display is a strong contender in terms of excellent specs and portability. I’m still torn between the two, in fact.

Great external screen n stand. But usb cable flat side is restrictive as it covers next usb adjacent

I have purchased and used the Sotsu Elite 16" for 6 months. This monitor is for a very niche audience: 1) M1-M5 Macbook Pro users who travel and work primarily from their laptop 2) Need a portable monitor comparable to the 16" Liquid Retina XDR display 3) Use a stacked monitor setup Pros: 1) 15W (powered directly through thunderbolt/usb-c) 2) 4k resolution (sharp fonts and details although may need some tweaking using BetterDisplay) 3) Elegantly designed for portability and ease of setup 4) Lightweight (~3lb) 5) The display switch to stacked monitor setup is seamless through the swivel 6) Colors and contrast are well matched with the Liquid Retina XDR display (although unsure for accurate color work) 7) Anti-reflective coating (nice for inconsistent background lighting) Con: 1) Insane MSRP ($789 at the time) 2) The body finish scratches easily 3) 450 nits brightness (vs Macbook Pro 1000 nits brightness, up to 1600 nits peak) 4) 60Hz refresh rate (vs Macbook Pro 120hz ProMotion) 5) No touch capability (so only good as a computer monitor) I am overall happy with the purchase. I've had no issues over the months, and the build quality is great. SOTSU has the best stand solution for portable monitors in the market by far, which deserve consideration.

Took a chance ans it paid off !!! 1. The gen 2 dark metalic 2k matches my space black 16" macbook pro m3 max perfectly. 2. The screen defaulted to a lower resolution and 60 htz on first plug in. I changed to 120htz and left the lower res as it was super crisp. I use the "better display" app, but I did not have to change any settings. Colors are dam good, just like my macbook without any fiddling! Brightness is good and I noticed no change when plugging in a power cable. Although my mac powers it fine with 1 cable, I tested this as some portable monitors will brighten up with more juice. This one stayed consistant. 3. Auto rotation does not work for me on Mac or PC. I turned it on in the display menue, but no luck. Its fine when you change the rotation in your settings though. 4. The included wetsuit case is an accident waiting to happen..throw it out and buy a 16" laptop sleeve. Recommend using one that zipper across long ways vs across the top as its easiest to get in and out (i tested on 3 different sleaves I own). 5. The stand is very good! It's stable when the base is facing foward. When you flip the stand so its facing backwards and pivot the monitor to its highest position, its still stable unless you tilt the screen back a bit and then its subject to desk bump or heavy typing wobble. Overall, quality! 6. The controll wheel is meh...its firm and when you arentrying ro manipulate it from the front, you will hunt and poke a lot!. The On Screen Menu is OK. The 1 ding is when trying to turn auto rotation on, I can't tell when I have selected on or off. Menu settings that appear to be on, are grey, selecting turns them blue which seems right until you recheck a setting and it's grey again. Fortunately, you will probably set it once and be done. 7. Its definitely super slim and lightweight, but zero cheap feel. You will def have drop anxiety when handling it the first time. 8. The pivot mechanism is great. Snappy, smooth and one of a kind. 9. No cables poking out the side is a god send ! Super happy with this one (I own 3 other 2k glossy qled monitors and this is brighter consistent. Only complaint is the dang price. This would be just right at $450. $599 made me scratch my head for a week before I pulled the trigger. Overall, its a peice if tech that will turn heads and make you feel good about the extra coin you dropped.

Nice build quality. Decent LED panel that is nice and sharp at 4K resolution however, for me personally when using next to the 13” M4 iPad Pro the 60Hz refresh rate is noticeably lacking when scrolling. I’m sure Sotsu will release a 4K 120Hz in the near future. In the meantime, I returned the 4K Elite and purchased the 2.5K Gen 2 Pro instead. That being said, love what Sotsu are doing. Update: Received the 16” Pro Gen 2 and it pairs perfectly with the 13” M4 iPad Pro. 120Hz is the same as the iPad’s refresh rate so scrolling does not strobe. I was able to calibrate the colour to match very closely (see attached picture for settings). 2.5K resolution produces a sharp enough screen. Very happy with the Pro Gen 2.
