What Buyers Say
VOKENSU AQ16H 16" Metal Black
This portable monitor impresses with its 2K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, and slim design, making it a solid choice for gaming and productivity. However, some users report issues with PS5 compatibility (limited to 60Hz at 2K) and a few experienced screen flickering after a couple of months. Customer support has been praised for resolving defects with replacements, but the need for an external power supply and occasional quality concerns (like screen opacity) are noted.

Cons
- PS5 limited to 60Hz at 2K resolution
