Test: MageDok 15 Portable Monitor (Sammanfattning)

För mörk.

Den folkfinansierade portabla skärmen MageDok känns rejäl att ta i och har ett robust chassi. Men nästan allt förutom den faktiska skärmen är vid det här tidiga utvecklingsstadiet en besvikelse.

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
11 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 7.6 ms rise
↘ 3.4 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 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 26 % 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
10.4 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6.4 ms rise
↘ 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. » 20 % 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 4950 Hz ≤ 99 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 4950 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 4950 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 8774 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Recension av den portabla skärmen MageDok 15. Recensionsex från MageDok
Recension av den portabla skärmen MageDok 15. Recensionsex från MageDok

Läs den fullständiga versionen av den här recensionen på engelska här.

Från ett designperspektiv lämnar MageDok 15 ett strålande intryck. Aluminiumramen, det tjocka glaset på framsidan och den texturerade baksidan gör att skärmen känns dyrare än den faktiskt är. Den tunga enheten känns robust och är mindre benägen att böja sig än andra billiga portabla skärmar.

Men allt faller samman när man väl slår på skärmen. Bilden är en aning grynig på grund av det tjocka glaset, gråskalorna stämmer inte, ljusstyrkan är för svag, de inbyggda högtalarna är väldigt svaga och den har dålig kontrast. Snabba responstider och skapligt färgomfång är inte tillräckligt för att kompensera för de stora bristerna. För enkla uppgifter som surfande och ordbehandling fungerar MageDok okej. För mer intensiva uppgifter som spel eller redigering är det dock inte rätt skärm för jobbet.
