USB-C Connection

A single USB-C cable can handle video, data, and power. However, running the display at maximum brightness often requires an additional power source. For outdoor use, carrying a 30W power bank is advisable.

Performance and Visual Quality

The OLED panel delivers stunning visuals with vibrant colors and deep blacks, making it ideal for content creation. It offers 100% sRGB and P3 color accuracy, ensuring precision in color representation. With a maximum brightness of 384 nits when connected to a power source, the display remains vivid and clear. However, its glossy finish, while enhancing vibrancy, can reflect light significantly, which may affect usability in bright environments.

With a resolution of 2880 x 1800, the display is sharp and detailed, suitable for most tasks. The 16:10 aspect ratio is ideal for productivity, providing additional vertical screen space compared to standard 16:9 displays.

The 120Hz refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, particularly for gaming and fast-paced content. The 1ms response time minimizes latency, enhancing the gaming experience.

Operating System Compatibility

The UColor O2 offers varying compatibility depending on the operating system. On Windows, the touchscreen functionality works flawlessly, and the display operates at its full 120Hz potential. However, macOS compatibility is more limited. Touchscreen functionality is unreliable, and UI scaling may result in fuzzy visuals. To address the scaling issue, users can utilize the BetterDisplay app (a paid solution), which effectively resolves this limitation.
