Mobile Pixels Glance Pro 101-1008P01 15.6" 2024

The Mobile Pixels Glance Pro packs a gorgeous 15.6" OLED with 100% DCI-P3 color into a super-light 2.1-pound frame, making it an ace portable monitor for creatives. Its 60Hz refresh and wobbly kickstand kill any gaming ambitions, but if you need brilliant color on the move, it's a gem, especially at the $270 Newegg price.

The Mobile Pixels Glance Pro is a 15.6-inch portable OLED monitor that gets a lot right for on-the-go creatives. It's featherlight at just 2.1 lbs, and that 1080p OLED panel with 100% DCI-P3 coverage puts out genuinely vibrant, color-accurate images. A built-in battery, touchscreen, and USB-C connectivity mean you can just grab it and go, no power brick required for short stints.

But it's not all sunshine. The 60Hz refresh rate feels dated, the included kickstand is a weak point, and color pros who need Adobe RGB or Rec.709 will find it lacking. For a portable companion, though, it hits a sweet spot, especially if you can snag it at the right price.

OLED response times keep motion mostly clean, but the 60Hz cap puts it firmly in the bottom 22% of monitors we've tested. Scrolling through spreadsheets feels fine, but you'll notice choppiness in fast-paced games or video. The 400-nit brightness is enough indoors, though glare can be a fight outdoors. Touch response is snappy, and the dual 1W speakers get surprisingly loud for a screen this thin.

Pricing is a roller coaster across vendors, ranging from a sane $270 to an absurd $54,749 at some listings. The real-world deal sits around that $270 mark on Newegg, which is reasonable for a portable OLED with a battery and touch. At that price, it's a solid buy for the right user. Paying much more doesn't make sense when you could step up to a desktop OLED or a higher-refresh portable.

Against desktop champs like the ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQDMG or Samsung Odyssey OLED G6, the Glance Pro is obviously smaller, slower, and less feature-packed, but that's apples and oranges. It lives in the portable monitor niche, where its 99th percentile compactness and battery power shine. The LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B or Alienware AW3423DWF run circles around it for gaming, but they can't slip into a laptop bag. If portability is the priority, the Glance Pro stands out as one of the best pocket-sized OLEDs you can buy.

Gamers: don't bother. The 60Hz OLED looks pretty but can't compete with 144Hz+ panels for fluidity, and input lag isn't addressed. If you need a rock-solid multi-monitor stand setup, the flimsy kickstand will annoy you daily. And if your color work demands Adobe RGB or Rec.709 reference, skip this for a factory-calibrated desktop monitor.

If you're a photographer, video editor, or designer who needs a color-accurate second screen on the go, the Glance Pro is a near-perfect travel buddy. It's light, sharp, and the built-in battery frees you from outlet hunting. Casual users who want a bright, crisp portable display for spreadsheets and media will also be happy, provided they don't need high refresh rates. This is a niche tool that nails its niche.
