Review MAGICRAVEN M1603 4K Portable Monitor

MAGICRAVEN 4K Portable Monitor, 16 Inch 3840 x 2400 IPS for Laptop PC, 1500:1, 400 Nits USB C HDMI Computer Game Monitor with Speakers and Smart Cover, Travel Monitor for Phone PC PS5/4 Xbox Switch

Mine arrived in perfect condition. No dead or stuck pixels. Picture quality is good, better than most monitors I've used in this price range, but not quite as good as the 16-inch MacBook Pro. But I only bought it for the image and pixel quality.

At full resolution, the text is so small that I almost need a magnifying glass to read it. I found that I could easily use it by zooming in to about 125%, and at that size I could see a fair amount of code on the screen at once. It's not as good as a 32-inch 4K device, but it makes remote work weeks about 10 times more efficient. I ended up with enough screen to capture all of my thoughts on one screen, albeit at the cost of a little eye strain.

When I run at 200% everything seems fine, but 100% seems to be wrong. It could be a non-standard sub-pixel layout, inconsistent pixel size, or just an issue with the way the MacBook Pro displays text, but something is causing it to appear compressed at full resolution, like a compressed image. Because every third or every third of the A pixels are missing, the pixel path consists of four lines. I bought a jewelry magnifying glass to check, but even at 50x magnification I can't see the sub pixels! Having said that, it's something I've just gotten used to and it doesn't affect my use, just a visual annoyance.

As others have said, the magnet in the case is a week old, so I'd recommend buying a different mount. Placing at eye level is more comfortable than at a desk.
