Feb 05,2021

As a fan of digital, is also a fan of photography, often cell phone photos, now mobile phones more and more muscular, after all, when the modification is felt the phone screen enough, on the one hand, because of the small screen, on the other hand, is to want to margination figure edge Shared with friends. An external portable display is essential. Recently, I noticed that Innocent had launched N1F Pro. The price is not high, the foldable design makes me impressed, and the color display makes me satisfied. Yes, that's it.

Part 1: Appearance analysis


Now this look at the face of the age, no matter any product, appearance level is the first productivity, "there is no wrong" this sentence, so the appearance design must be careful. As a must-have product for everyday use, a portable display must also look good!

My first impression of the N1F Pro was that it was refined and not as bulky as previous home monitors. The black panel, gray body, this is the engineering man's favorite.

At 362 x 240 x 15.6mm, the N1F Pro is only 6.4mm at its thinnest point, which is still much lighter than my iPhone12. Coupled with the 1,060g weight, portability is worth thumb up. As an extension to your phone or laptop, it's an excellent choice for business trips and home use.

Compared to other monitors, the N1F Pro has a 15.6-inch IPS screen, 99% sRGB, 1920 by 1080 resolution, 1500:1 contrast, 470nit brightness, and a very detailed display is so important for photographers.

At the same time, it also adopts the popular design of three narrow and one wide. The bottom and middle is the LOGO of Innocent, and the screen proportion is very considerable. This benefit is that it can bring a wide Angle of view, and it is more comfortable to watch movies or edit pictures.

The right side is equipped with a 3.5mm headphone interface, Type-C power interface, Type-C data interface, an HDMI interface, which can meet the daily use in terms of interface. Almost all current phones don't support 3.5M headphones. With N1F Pro, you can finally use 3.5M headphones directly. Give a thumbs up.

The left side concentrates all the keys: the power LED indicator, the power button, the menu button, and the brightness adjustment button. It is simple and easy to use. At the same time, the controls are comfortable, and the feedback is pretty good.

The N1F Pro base supports 0° to 180° roll-over adjustment, and the sense of damping is relatively strong. At first, I was worried that it would wobble during use, but later I realized that such concerns were unnecessary. Once the position was adjusted, the Angle was firmly fixed, and the body was not prone to wobble even when touching the screen with a finger.

This is what it looks like. Doesn't it look good? Even better if you can throw in a holster, so it's easier to carry, and you don't have to worry about scratching the screen.

N1F PRO artistry, the widespread use of high-quality aluminum alloy material, after dark gray oxidation coloring process and grinding treatment, each detail processing is very in place. Absolute seconds to kill others displays the same price. What's more, you don't have to worry about fingerprints at all.

Part II: Practical Experience


As a portable display, the jointly innovative N1F Pro can connect to phones and laptops, and different devices such as game consoles. The larger screen means easier to use and more comfortable to play.

For a digital enthusiast, I can have several apps open at the same time or watch videos while retouching. Let's take mobile phones and laptops as an example, and give you a brief introduction of its strong points.

Let's start with a Samsung phone and see how it works! It is effortless. It only needs to be connected through the C-C data line given by the manufacturer. Then select computer mode on the phone; otherwise, it will be screen projection.

To be clear, the N1F Pro doesn't have a built-in battery, so you'll have to charge it with a separate C-C cable. However, you can also use a high-power charger instead, as long as it is over 30W.

Then you can have fun! The N1F Pro also has a 10-point touch, which allows you to drag your fingers across the screen without any problems. The most common applications used in daily work, such as Word, Excel, PPT, email, browser, and memo, all run entirely on the Pro.

After connecting the big screen, you can open multiple windows on the desktop simultaneously, such as open Douyin, WeChat, music at the same time, while listening to music, while chatting, or while working, quite comfortable.

I prefer to watch movies while sitting or lying down. The N1F Pro can be adjusted at the Right Angle to avoid neck pain due to poor posture and better eye protection than a phone with a small screen.

The most important thing is that the N1F Pro is relatively thin and light. It can be carried with you when you are on a business trip, and you need to open it when you are at work. It is much more convenient to switch multitasking than a mobile phone. At the same time, you can also share photos, videos, documents, and so on with your friends anytime and anywhere.

Next, we'll connect the N1F Pro with the laptop, also using the C-C cable, and then you can work with two screens, which can display content simultaneously or split the screen. It's practical when you need to multitask and multiwindow office, and it's easy to watch videos while retouching pictures.

Below is a set of screen comparisons between the N1F Pro on the left and the MacBook Pro on the right. It's not hard to see how well the N1F Pro displays, comparable to the MacBook Pro.


Not only the picture is clear and delicate, but also the color is natural and real. Whether it is browsing pictures or watching movies, it can bring an excellent visual experience.


Finally, the sound performance of the N1F Pro is awe-inspiring. If you want to adjust the scene mode, image, color temperature, audio, volume, OSD, and brightness, you can use the three buttons on the left to achieve this. Personally, it would be more pleasant to support touch control. For better sound quality, it is recommended to use external speakers.


Part III: Personal views


After just two weeks of experience, I have gradually become accustomed to using N1F Pro, which can be a magic tool for office entertainment. With only one data cable, a mobile phone can be turned into a computer, and a computer can be turned into a dual-screen, which can quickly complete various office work. 15.6-inch large screen, ultra-narrow bezel design, bring better visual experience, with two stereo speakers, watching movies is compelling. More importantly, I am delighted with its color performance, 99% SrGB, 470nit high brightness, can fully meet photographers' needs.


As for the disadvantages, on the one hand, there is no built-in battery, so you must use a charger or a high-power mobile power supply when using it. On the other hand, there is no protective cover if there is a knock against the screen.


However, considering its price, these are not a problem. All in all, if you're looking for a portable display, the joint innovation Innocn N1F Pro is worth considering because it's not only cheap but also has superior performance, especially color performance, which is comparable to that of a professional-grade display.
