Sculptor Portable Screen Review: For less than 1,000 yuan, it has become the best companion for Switch

How to define a good monitor? Some people may care about basic parameters such as image quality, frame rate, and high color gamut, and some consumers may value the richness of interfaces... But for a special group like Xiaolei who has monitors everywhere in their home, what they care about most is actually Size and portability.

About two years ago, Xiao Lei came into contact with portable screen products. At that time, Xiao Lei was quite impressed. It was not that its picture quality was so good, but that it could Place it anywhere in your home, or even put it into your backpack and take it away like a laptop. But unfortunately, the overall price of portable screens was too expensive at that time, and Xiaolei really couldn't bear to buy one. However, with the iteration of technology and the reduction of costs, the price of portable screens has gradually become more affordable, becoming the first choice for many game console users.

Just recently, Lei Technology also received a portable monitor MF185LN from Sculptor Sculptor, Xiao Lei, I happen to be a game console user, next I will give you a detailed experience of this product based on my personal experience and feelings.

Portable screen, the most important thing is portability

When you open the box, you will see a giant screen up to 18.5 inches. The Sculptor MF185LN adopts a more common three-narrow-edge design. The driver board, power IC and other parts are placed, so it is much wider than the other three sides, but the overall design style is still simple and square. Coupled with the all-metal body and good workmanship, it has a very good texture.

It also does a very good job in terms of thinness and portability. The thickness of the whole machine is not much different from that of a mobile phone, and the weight is also considered It’s moderate (1.5kg), even girls can carry it around with one hand.

Of course, what interests me the most is its extremely user-friendly stand design, which supports infinite adjustment and the angle can be set up to 180°. The design is very clever, which can meet the user's expansion needs without increasing its size in disguise.

Although Sculptor MF185LN is an entry-level portable screen, Sculptor still gave it four high-standard physical interfaces, namely a Mini HDMI, two full-function C interfaces and a 3.5mm headphone jack. One of the C ports is used as the power supply interface. However, when we use it to connect game consoles or laptops, we basically only use a C port or a Mini HDMI port, which can fully meet our needs for daily use.

The left side of the Sculptor MF185LN has menu keys, brightness up and down keys and a headphone jack. However, what I want to complain about is that these three buttons The pressing area is too small. Several times I had to search for the buttons because I couldn't reach them. It might be easier to control if these three buttons could be made into a long strip shape.

In addition, it is worthy of praise that the packaging box of this portable screen comes with two full-function Type-C cables and a Mini HDMI to HDMI converter. The wire and a 30W charging head, in addition to powering the screen, can also meet the charging needs of some thin and light notebooks, mobile phones, Switch, tablets and other products.

Function: Everything you can think of, it can satisfy you

As mentioned in the beginning, Xiaolei has always wanted a small screen that can directly connect to game consoles such as Switch and PS5. Although the TV The screen is bigger and the viewing effect is definitely better, but Xiao Lei personally prefers to play games while lying on the bed or directly slumped in a chair.

And everyone should know that most screens on the market today do not support direct connection to Switch. You can only play on the big screen through the official Nintendo dock or a third-party adapter, which is very troublesome to operate in practice. , and it will take up a lot of extra space on the desktop. The Sculptor MF185LN supports the Type-C cable connection function. You only need to connect the two with the full-featured Type-C cable included in the box to activate the Switch’s host mode.

After actual experience, the experience of playing Switch with Sculptor MF185LN is quite great. After all, the screen quality of Switch is somewhat "lag behind the times", even if It is an OLED version of Switch launched in the later period of Laoren, and it is difficult to meet the needs of most users. For example, I recently played Bayonetta 3. The playing experience in console mode is not bad, but if you play in handheld mode, then The picture quality is really unbearable.

After connecting to this portable screen, the gaming experience of Switch has improved a lot. Although its resolution is only 1080P, compared to the 720P of Switch OLED, it is still It's several levels better. Not to mention that compared to the 7-inch small screen of the Switch OLED, the gaming experience of the 18.5-inch Sculptor MF185LN is more immersive and enjoyable.

Of course, the Sculptor MF185LN can also be used as an expansion screen for mobile phones and computers. You only need to connect the two with the included CTC cable. This can greatly enhance the office properties of a laptop or mobile phone. After all, dual screens can display much more content than a single screen.

I almost forgot, although the Sculptor MF185LN is positioned as an entry-level portable display, the quality of this screen is still excellent, with an 18.5-inch IPS material panel , 1080P resolution, 100% sRGB, 60Hz refresh rate, response time 5ms, 300nit brightness. So whether it is used as a game expansion screen or used for simple office work, it is fully capable.

Summary

Advantages:

1. Thin and light, easy to carry, can be easily moved to any corner;

2. Fully functional, a good accessory for console players;

3. Product appearance , the workmanship and texture are good;

Disadvantages:

1. As an office expansion screen, the interface is a little lacking;

2. The button setting is too small and unreasonable.

To be honest, I don’t have high requirements for a portable screen. I don’t require it to have the same 4K resolution, 144Hz high refresh rate, Mini LED partitioned backlight, etc. as a professional monitor. The biggest advantage of a portable screen is that it is portable and not graphic. The quality is good, not to mention that this is a product that sells for less than a thousand yuan. I am personally quite satisfied with such performance.

Looking at the portable screen products on the market, the Sculptor MF185LN is more pragmatic, it does not have 4K ultra-high definition resolution, nor does it have high refresh rate rate, but it has a larger screen size, a 100% SRGB color gamut brings rich color display, and an affordable price, so it is very suitable for daily home use. If you want a larger portable monitor without affecting its portability, then the Sculptor MF185LN is undoubtedly a better choice.
