Wimaxit M1400CT 14" 16:9 FreeSync

At 666 grams, this is the most compact portable monitor we've tracked, and the 400-nit touchscreen with 98% sRGB is a standout for the category. The 60Hz refresh rate and weak office ergonomics hold it back from being a true all-rounder. Grab it if portability and touch are your top priorities, especially if you can snag it near the $98 end of the price range.

The Wimaxit M1400CT is a 14-inch portable monitor that absolutely nails the portable brief, landing in the 100th percentile for compactness in our database. At 666 grams, it's lighter than most tablets and slips into a bag without a second thought. The 400-nit IPS panel gets bright enough to use outdoors, and the 98% sRGB coverage puts it in solid territory for color accuracy, hitting the 75th percentile. It's a niche tool that knows exactly what it wants to be: a travel-friendly second screen with a surprisingly good touch interface.

This is a 60Hz panel with FreeSync, so don't expect a high-refresh gaming experience. The performance percentile sits at a mediocre 37th, which is fine for a productivity sidekick but won't impress anyone looking for smooth motion. The 1500:1 contrast ratio is a nice bump over the typical 1000:1 you see on many portables, giving blacks a bit more depth. The real star here is the touchscreen. It's a 10-point multi-touch panel that uses generic drivers, so it plays nice with everything from Windows to a Raspberry Pi 4. The dual 1W speakers are there if you need them, but they're about as thin as you'd expect from a 666g slab.

Pricing is all over the place, ranging from $98 to $169 depending on the vendor. At the low end, you're getting a bright, color-accurate touchscreen for under a hundred bucks, which is a steal. At $169, it's a harder sell when you can find larger non-touch portables for less. If you need the touch functionality and the featherweight build, hunt for a deal closer to that $98 mark.

Stacked against the ASUS TUF Gaming VG34VQL1B or the LG UltraGear 27 inch, the Wimaxit isn't even playing the same game. Those are big, high-refresh desktop monitors built for gaming and immersion. The M1400CT is a portable specialist. It trades blows more directly with other 14-15 inch USB-C portables, where its 400-nit brightness and touchscreen are genuine differentiators. Most competitors in this size class hover around 250-300 nits and skip touch entirely. The trade-off is that 60Hz cap, which feels dated next to even budget 120Hz portable panels.

Skip this if you're building a desk setup for spreadsheets and long office sessions. The office score is a dismal 33.3 out of 100, and the lack of ergonomic adjustments means you'll be hunching over a tiny screen with no stand. Gamers should also look elsewhere. The 60Hz panel and 37th percentile performance ranking make it a poor fit for anything beyond casual titles, even with FreeSync onboard.

If you need a lightweight, bright, touch-enabled second screen for travel or field work, the Wimaxit M1400CT is a fantastic little tool. The compactness and feature set are top-tier for the category. Just don't buy it expecting a gaming monitor or a primary display for heavy office work. It's a specialist, and for that specific portable touchscreen job, it's one of the best options out there.
