Portable displays are a category that appeared very early, and the design intention of such products is mainly to make it more convenient for users to expand the screen in mobile scenes and outdoor scenes to achieve a larger display area. Since it is a portable display, such products must reduce weight and facilitate carrying under the premise of ensuring size. Because most portable displays do not have computing power, their functional positioning overlaps with large-screen thin and light books and tablet computers to a certain extent, but manufacturers will still choose to launch such a category of products to meet the needs of some users.
LG, a well-known screen manufacturer in the industry, has also recently launched its own portable display devices. The product, named LG gram +view 16MQ70 portable display, will go on sale in Japan in the middle of this month. Friends familiar with the LG product line will understand as soon as they hear it, "gram" is the name of LG's notebook product line, and the use of "gram" to name this portable display can also see the concept of LG's extended product sequence.
In addition, this monitor is indeed very similar to the B-side of the gram notebook, and it can be seen from the comparison chart that the gram +view portable monitor is very similar to the gram notebook in both bezel width and chin size. The entire portable monitor is also basically the same size as the 16-inch LG gram laptop, weighing 670 grams, and the official gram + view comes with a cover bracket, with a total weight of about 990 grams. It is very portable and can be tucked into a backpack. This weight is very similar to the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 nano, as a thin and light commercial book, the X1 nano is even lighter, only about 907 grams, but the X1 nano size is only 13 inches, and the 16-inch display is indeed much larger.
gram+view portable displays can be connected to laptops as an extension of notebook displays, increasing multitasking productivity.
The gram +view portable display is powered via the Type-C port or via an LG gram notebook. The screen uses an IPS panel, covering 99% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, with 16.77 million color depth, 350nit brightness, contrast ratio 1200:1 contrast ratio, and resolution WQXGA (2560×1600). Reflections and glare are minimized due to a non-reflective surface treatment, which makes it easier for the screen to see clearly outdoors and in other sunlight-exposed environments.
The main unit measures 360×246×8mm and weighs about 670g (mainframe only). The estimated market price is about 45,000 yen, or about 2,300 yuan.
