Technical Specifications and Connectivity of the Sony ELF-MN1 Display
Connecting the ELF-MN1 to your device requires specific configurations. Necessary are a fast processor and a USB-C port with DP Alt Mode for smartphones, or at least 16GB RAM and USB-C with 4K 60P output for desktops and laptops. The display offers a 1,080×2,160-pixel screen at 60 Hz, with a contrast ratio of 1,350:1 and a maximum brightness of 470 nits, ensuring vibrant visuals.
