Portable monitors are useful small displays that users can carry around wherever they go. However, most of these are limited to 1080p, which isn't always enough depending on the task at hand. For those looking for something a bit sharper, than LG may have the answer. 

Featuring a 16-inch IPS WQXGA panel with 2560×1600 resolution (16:10) and 60Hz refresh rate, the LG Gram +View, also known as 16MQ70, is not your average portable monitor. With an 8-bit colour depth, 350nits of brightness and 1200:1 contrast ratio, this monitor can cover up to 99% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut.

Measuring 360×245.5×8.3mm (WxDxH) and weighing 670g (990g with the included folio cover), the monitor is only available in silver. Moreover, the monitor has 2x USB-C (DP Alt Mode) ports and a control switch to adjust the display's brightness.

The LG Gram +View will release in Japan in mid-April for ¥45,000, but we know it's also coming to the US, listed for $349 on the region's website. Unfortunately, there's no word on pricing and availability for Europe.

KitGuru says: Are you planning on getting a portable monitor for your travels soon? Do you think the LG Gram +View could be worth considering?

Sharp Corp. this week demonstrated the world’s first display with incredible 736 pixels per inch (ppi) pixel density. The company said that it will be able to commercially ship such display panels in calendar 2016.

The experimental 4.1” panel from Sharp has resolution of 2560*1600 (WQXGA), which is not a breakthrough for mobile devices nowadays. Nonetheless, the pixel density of 736 pixels per inch is considerably higher than the record pixel density of today’s top smartphones from LG and Samsung (which feature pixel density of around 500ppi). The panel with record pixel density is based on Sharp’s IGZO technology.

Keeping in mind that a human’s eye cannot see individual pixels on screens with 350ppi – 400ppi density at typical smartphone viewing distances, it is unclear whether Sharp’s 4.1” 2560*1600 display will find any practical use. Nonetheless, ultimate pixel density of 736 pixels per inch opens doors to mainstream-sized smartphones with 4K (3840*2160) ultra-high-definition screens.

Sharp said that it would be able to commercially ship displays with such pixel density only in fiscal 2016 (starts on the 1st of April, 2016), therefore, the technology is not quite ready for mass production yet.

Incredible pixel density will not only open doors to smartphones with 4K displays, but will also enable companies like Sharp to create screens with even higher resolutions. In fact, in order to build 8K (7680*4320) TVs and displays several years down the road, Sharp and other manufacturers will need to learn how to produce panels with increased pixel density cost-efficiently.

KitGuru Says: While many researchers say that there is a limit in human’s ability to percept individual pixels at certain pixel density (and viewing densities), it looks like display makers continue to push the PPI upwards. While generally it is not bad, keep in mind that high resolutions mean increased power consumption and increased demand for graphics processing horsepower (which means increased power consumption too). At some point certain technical advantages cease to bring real benefits, but continue to increase requirements…
