That gives it a little versatility in the sense that it can connect to things lacking USB-C, like a Raspberry Pi and older systems.
But with more PCs starting to ditch HDMI, and the monitor already having a USB-C port right there, it feels like a missed opportunity.
The display should make an easy portable monitor, (assuming you can find a case to accommodate its dimensions), as it only weighs about 0.43 pounds (198 g). .
The EK-MD088's screen is ready to adapt; its stand allows you to switch into horizontal mode as well, according to the product page.
As we would hope with such a small screen, the EK-MD088's pixel density is rather high at 223.3 pixels per inch.Elsonic's listing doesn't get into color capabilities but says the screen has a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz and a typical brightness of 300 nits.It's expected to release in "early February," the product page says, for 14,800 yen, which is about $128.21 (this doesn't count any shipping fees) right now—a lower price for those craving a high-climbing monitor.
