- Integrated Google TV transforms this monitor into a streaming center without needing a separate device
- HDR10 rings well, but 300 brightness nits limit any real visual punch
- Big resolution, but the refresh rate of 60 Hz will not impress players or serious creatives
Most portable instructors focus only on the quality of the display, but the Kinhank K18 Pro adopts a different approach by integrating Google TV 12 and by transforming it into an autonomous entertainment center with access to Netflix, YouTube and other applications, without the need for a separate device.
The Kinhank K18 Pro is DRM certified, which means that it supports high quality reading of paying streaming services. It also includes a Bluetooth remote control and a microphone to allow voice control.
However, the list of products lacks information on the processor, RAM and storage, which suggests that it can simply work as an output device for a connected computer rather than a fully independent smart screen.
The display is not faced with certain aspects
This device has an 18.4 -inch UHD 4K screen with a 60 Hz refresh rate, which may not satisfy users looking for a smoother movement, especially in the game scenarios.
The monitor uses an IPS panel with 8 -bit + FRC technology, simulating 10.7 billion colors. It covers 85% of the NTSC color range and claims 120% SRGB coverage, adequate for daily but insufficient tasks for colored critical professional work that requires Adobergb or DCI-P3 precision.
The screen has a contrast ratio of 1000: 1 and a brightness of 300 cd / m², which limits the efficiency of its HDR10 support, in particular in brilliantly lit environments.
In terms of connectivity, the monitor includes two USB type-C ports, a microSD card reader, a 3.5 mm audio socket and an HDMI input and an output, which makes it suitable for devices like the Mac Mini.
In addition, the monitor has a swivel support which allows tilt adjustments to 165 degrees, as well as integrated stereo speakers. However, there is both a built -in battery and a touch screen feature, requiring constant power and offering no touch input.
It is also larger and heavier than most portable monitors, weighing 5.5 pounds and measuring 2 x 18 x 16 inches.
On Amazon, the K18 Pro received only one customer note from only 1.0 out of 5, which raises concerns about potential problems with the quality of construction and the stability of software, so the buyer takes care.
For buyers concerned about the budget, the Kinhank K18G Pro offers entry -level display capacities, selling $ 329.03 on Aliexpress and $ 429.99 on Amazon.
