It offers both USB-C and Mini HDMI inputs, and it delivers a surprisingly accurate image for a portable monitor that ships without factory calibration.

It's a very beautiful monitor, very well built. The entire casing of this monitor is made of aluminum. The edges on the sides and top are very thin, except for the bottom edge where the logo is located, which is slightly thicker due to the buttons on that side. This monitor measures approximately 35.5 cm wide and 24 cm high. On the back, it has a foldable support.

So, what's nice about these, if you're not familiar with a portable monitor, um so, when you travel or if you, you know, you you work for a living and you travel a lot, uh it's kind of hard to do a lot of actual real work on a little MacBook or a little Windows computer.

The colors really pop and the viewing angles are impressive, so you don't have to worry about washed out images if you're sharing the screen with a friend or colleague. But does it deliver?

Please be aware that while Zobber currently market this monitor as having 100% of the sRGB color space, their older marketing material incorrectly claimed that had 120% or 123% of the sRGB color space. Keep this in mind as many online stores continue to display marketing images that show this incorrect specification.

The short answer is probably not. The (personal) longer answer is I'm not sure you can achieve colour accuracy due to hardware limitation. I don't have hand-on experience with that specific panel but reading some reviews/articles online (like the CNET review ) it seems that the colour profiles provided for this panel are all over the place.
