That horizontal resolution (2240) matches really well to the vertical resolution (2160) of a 4k monitor. Looks like a good fit to put in portrait mode next to a larger display for extra stuff. I currently have a 15.4" 1680x1050 laptop monitor next to my 27" 4K and it looks pretty good. But the lower resolution means I have an awkward transition and sometimes get stuck if my mouse is too low. I've looked at some 15.4" 1920x1200 screens which would match closer. But this is tempting as well. The 14" would mean physically it's a bit smaller but at least the resolution is very close.

I feel all the branded portable monitors have both poor specs and price. The bump in resolution is nothing when there are already 4K portable monitors out in the wild and they allow for higher refresh rate at the same time. I am using a Chinese branded 15.6 inch portable monitor that comes with Quantum Dot display even though its 1080p. But its got a peak brightness of 400 nits, and with my untrained eyes, I do noticed that images are both more vibrant and brighter than a proper IPS 4K monitor that I have.
