The Edge 4K OLED is a portable monitor that uses OLED technology and is currently being funded through a crowdfunding campaign. It has a diagonal size of 15.6 inches and comes in both a standard version and one with a touchscreen. Users have the option to pick between models with or without a built-in battery. The integrated battery could be handy for reducing strain on a smartphone's battery. The display features an OLED panel made by Samsung, which boasts a refresh rate of 60 Hz and a max brightness of 440 cd/m². With a stunning resolution of 3,840 x 2,160, the manufacturer claims it's suitable for gaming, although the lower refresh rate might not please hardcore gamers. It covers the entire DCI-P3 color space and weighs about 666 grams.
Easy Setup and Connectivity
Setting up the device is reportedly simple due to a magnetic stand, which can also hold smartphones magnetically, keeping them in sight. It also claims to support wireless data transmission over a distance of up to 30 meters, although this requires extra devices. The monitor includes two USB-C ports, a mini-HDMI port, speakers, and a 3.5 mm jack connection.
Pricing and Risks
For those backing the project on Indiegogo, a unit can be purchased starting at $342, which is a 40% discount off the regular price. The manufacturer has run successful crowdfunding campaigns in the past, but user feedback indicates that there have been some problems. Therefore, potential buyers should carefully consider the risks involved; in the worst-case scenario, they may lose their whole investment.
