I travel monthly and while I wish I had a second display while on the road, what i really miss is having a high refresh rate display for gaming with my 13 inch Surface Book. G-STORY has had a 17 inch model for several months, but I was in the market for something smaller. The seller thankfully notified me that they just released this 15.6 inch model that natively supports 165HZ and has a low (1-4ms) response rate. This monitor fits comfortable in my backpack right next to my Surface Book 13 and I couldn't be happier. It even fits nicely on my desk as a second monitor when I'm home. I'll report back on durability after a few trips, but for now it seems to check all the boxes I was looking from a portable USB-C monitor. I paid for it out of pocket and, while steep compared to other USB C monitors on the market, this is the only one I know that can drive a <4ms response time at 165hz
The G-Story comes with:
- The display, which has two USB C ports (one for power only, including USB PD support, one for power or DisplayPort Alt support)
- A battery-powered remote. I leave this at home when I travel, but some finer graphics settings seem to be only -available via the remote as there's only a single wheel/button which controls display brightness or speaker volume
- A USB-C cable which supports the DisplayPort Alt Mode Standards (important)
- An HDMI to Mini HDMI adapter.
- a dual USB A (with white and black coloring) to USB c adapter cable, presumably for power/data support of some kind.
- A padded carrying case (always insert the monitor with the screen facing the thickest/padded side to protect it!
- A drawstring bag for all of the cables this comes with.
Some general observations in case this helps you consider the device.
- This monitor is quite thin. It still weighs a good couple pounds, but packs a lot inside a very thin display, though it feel sturdy and doesn't flex.
- This monitor runs relatively cool even during extended use, both on the panel and near the electronics.
- I've tested this with a Windows PC, Macbook, Surface Book (over USB C directly), and Nintendo Switch (Over USB C Directly) - all were successfully able to connect to the display. My Samsung DeX-capable smartphone only worked over HDMI, but this is likely because Samsung does not support the DisplayPort Alt Mode standard, so it must use an HDMI port.
- Frame Rate tests showed 144hz delivery over the HDMI port between this display and a NVIDIA GTX 1080 GPU. I did get 165hz delivery over the USB C / DisplayPort Alt port
- The Surface Book (13 inch with GTX 1050) USB C Port keeps trying to draw power from the display, so it only works with the display while also plugged in - HOWEVER there is a benefit here, since this allows my Nintendo Switch to charge (or at least maintain current battery life/not die) while powering just the display and connecting it to the display directly.
- Speakers are somewhat quiet, but what can you expect from a portable monitor that pulls less than 15W to power everything. They do feel full and didn't come across as "tinny" to my ears.
- When using both USB-C ports (for power + DisplayPort Alt connectivity) things can be a bit finnicky. You have to plug in both cables at the same time for best results. That said, it usually wakes up from sleep mode to detect a HDMI or USB C display signal.
- HDMI Mini tends to be less durable than micro/standard HDMI. I will have to keep an eye out for durability over time.
- The tilting base is nice, but can't be turned on its side on its own for a more compact portrait mode. However this tablet stand (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CG71KQ1) works well with the display, just remember it's taller and heavier than most tablet meant for this.
Conclusion: It's a wicked fast, powerful monitor that has been easy to use and set up. I'll see how durability performs over time.
A final note of caution for potential buyers. Cables MATTER. Not all USB-C cables support the DisplayPort Alt mode standard. Typically USB C Thunderbolt cables are your best bet for this. Additionally, not all DisplayPort to USB C cables are BI-DIRECTIONAL. You need a BI-DIRECTIONAL cable in order to plug this into a DisplayPort device (such as a graphics card) to the USB C port on this monitor. However, HDMI cables are a bit less type-specific as long as it's a "High Speed with Ethernet" or similar one advertising a 1.4 or later HDMI standard (but most of the marketing is gimmicks).
15.6” 1080p Portable Monitor
Highly Recommend!!
G-Sync Capable Portable Monitors are rare and this one delivers!
This is a great Gaming Monitor. I learned about G-Story’s Monitors when searching for a Portable Monitor that is G-Sync Capable. NVidia Control Panel notes that it isn’t G-Sync “Certified” but allows the Monitor to run in G-Sync Mode at 144Hz with the “G-Sync Enabled Overlay” properly showing in Game.
It must be attached by a Bi-Directional USB-C Cable in the Data Port as well as a good power source through the other USB-C Port. It took several Cable Purchases and Returns before I found the right DisplayPort to USB Cable to work in full G-Sync Mode with my GTX 1080ti. It was particularly tricky for me because I use this Monitor pretty far away from the PC itself so I also needed a good Powered DisplayPort Extension Cable. Not necessary for most people but I wanted to mention that it is possible and works great! I can easily switch to the HDMI input for playing Games on PS4.
Unlike most Users, I use this as my Primary-Only Monitor. I have a Medical Condition that keeps me home bound and I spend a lot of time Gaming. Instead of sitting at a Desk facing the wall all day, I have this Monitor on an Adjustable Mount where I sit in the Family Room. This size is perfect to play Games at that distance without obstructing my view of whatever the Family is doing and interacting with everyone. Instead of being *more* isolated by playing Games, I can always Pause to join a conversation or whatever without any big ordeal. I also occasionally use it for other PC-related purposes like Photoshop and Video Editing. I’ve never had any Brightness issues while using it in a fully-lit Family Room though there is very little difference between mid-high Brightness and 100%.
The Monitor is *very* light and can be mounted on a relatively light-weight Arm Mount securely without sagging. It’s easy for me to unplug and put away every night with no stressful effort and it’s so slim it really could be slipped away nearly anywhere. When I’m ready to use the PC or PS4 again, it’s a quick routine to just bring it out and plug it in.
I’ve been really impressed with it and I’m very happy to have found it. My only point of warning is to know what you’re getting, you’ll be able to run Games great with G-Sync Enabled but at 1080p. *I* think 1080p on a 15.6” Monitor looks great and with G-Sync and a GTX 1080ti I can run Games with their highest settings without problems of tearing or stuttering. Lastly be knowledgeable and patient about your Cable choices and know the Specifications are not false-claims but do require the right supporting components.

Giving 3 stars since i tried changing the menu font size and now menu is not appearing on screen! Tried contacting their support but only got responses of how many units i wanted to buy -_-
Pros:
- Works as advertised with 165Hz refresh, I confirmed FPS using MSI Afterburner.
- Good picture quality with decent viewing angles.
- Lots of bundles extras including plenty of cables (USB-C, HDMI to mini-HDMI), carry case, remote control.
- Extremely lightweight
- Viewing stand is integrated, very stable and has good adjustment.
- Very low power consumption - I'm running this off an 20,000mAh USB Power bank which is still showing
4 out of 4 lights after nearly five hours.
Cons
- I'm not convinced this has a G-sync module, nothing shows up in the Nvidia control panel despite being connected over USB-C. There is a small chance it may be something to do with my eGPU setup, need to test on another PC to confirm.
- Cannot get any signal over the mini HDMI port.
- Cannot set the monitor brightness higher than 3 out of 100 when connected via single USB-C cable to my laptop. Monitor brightness can be adjusted when connected to my eGPU dock, but I need a separate power cable as my GPU has USB-C only.
- Audio quality is terrible, but not a deal breaker for me as I use headphones.
Overall this is a very good display for gaming, but there are some small bugs that need ironing out.
