C-Force CF016xT USB-C 144 Hz Portabel Monitor - Praktisk när den fungerar (Sammanfattning)

Strömkabel behövs inte... alltid.

Den är utmärkt när den fungerar, men problem med strömförsörjningen och ett tveksamt flimrande beteende gör den opålitlig i vissa situationer. Att en AC-adapter inte ingår i förpackningen är extra märkligt.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
16.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 10.8 ms rise
↘ 5.6 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 34 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
20.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12 ms rise
↘ 8.4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 29 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (32.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM detected 25770 Hz ≤ 42 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 25770 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 42 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 25770 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8746 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Går det verkligen att driva en tryckkänslig skärm på 16.1 tum med 1080p-upplösning, 300 nits och 144 Hz bilduppdatering med bara en USB Typ C-kabel? Det bästa vi lyckades uppnå var 200 nits och 144 Hz när den var ansluten till vår Surface Laptop 3, eller endast 60 Hz när det var ansluten via HDMI. Oavsett vilken strömförsörjning vi använde gick ljusstyrkan aldrig över 214 nits. I värsta fall flimrade skärmen okontrollerat även när vi använde två USB Typ C-kablar, en för data och en för att ge tillräcklig energiförsörjning.

De goda nyheterna är att skärmen fungerar utmärkt när allt klaffar. Färgerna är förvånansvärt exakta efter en ordentlig kalibrering och den smidiga bilduppdateringen på 144 Hz samt de tryckkänsliga kontrollerna resulterade i en smärtfri upplevelse i det här specifika scenariot. Men det går inte att neka att skärmen kunde fått lite mer kärlek i fråga om hur den hanterar sin energiförbrukning och hur den borde bete sig när två USB Typ C-kablar är anslutna samtidigt. Ett bättre utfällbart ställ hade också hjälpt till med att göra detta till en mer användbar extern skärm.
