NEWSOUL

I got this to make my mini PC portable. I like that it has full size HDMI, the option of using usb-c for both power and signal instead (when using the correct port, though I probably won't use it that way). The cover lays flat for protection and slimness for transport, and folds up into a stand for use. I also like the option to connect my phone with OTG, but need some cables for that. Working good.

This is a fabulous portable monitor that works perfect with a MacBook 16" M1 Max. Keep in mind that you have to power it and then send the power through the monitor to the computer. I tried to go power->Computer->Monitor and the brightness would only go to 85 before shutting itself off. Run Power->Monitor->Computer and it runs great.I did end up returning it but not because I didn't want to keep it. Unfortunately I have a hardside computer luggage that holds 4 computers and it was just too large to fit :-(Still, highly recommended.

I was not expecting to get a response when the power block failed about 3 months after the purchase, but they responded fast and sent to me a new one. Very good service

portable, durable, and good!

The 16:10 monitor is a dying breed, and the few that are on the market suck because the 2560x1600 resolution is being stretched across a 30 inch screen. Smaller = better DPIHowever, mid-2022 is a game changer with the new 16 inch screen that popped up. There is also a 13.3 inch cousin if you want something more tablet-like.I personally got Newsoul's version, instead of uPerfect's. Both companies sold the same monitor, but the hardware was a bit different.Pros1) Newsoul used a fullsized HDMI 2.0 port (uPerfect used a mini-HDMI)2) 188 dpi = nice screen3) comes with 75x75 vesa mount holes4) super light (under 2 pounds)Cons1) the speakers suck because the sound comes out from one side only2) lacks displayport3) says it's a 10-bit color screen, but my PC's GPU tells me it's 8-bit. I suspect the monitor uses FRC, but I'm not sure how you can check for that feature4) doesn't come with vesa screws. It says they use m4 x 4mm screws, but those don't exist, so I contacted Newsoul about it, and they said use 6mm length screws.5) the lightweight screen makes it impossible to use with gas-spring monitor armsOverall, the screen is nice, and I have two for a dual-monitor setup (still working on that), and I plan to get a third for a laptop-like PC I'm planning to build next.

My review is based on maybe that my expectations were too high or portable is a tricky word for this monitor... The size and weight are the only portability features that I can highlight.The first thing you expect is to have some autonomy from power energy, which is just not possible... But that's just the beginning, the distribution of ports is awful, you have the power port on a different side than for example HDMI port, why is that important? because you need to put your monitor side by side with your laptop (conventional monitors have a tall base, and you don't deal with this), but because of this distribution you need to keep them a little bit away, which is annoying and harmful for cables.The power energy cable is just the worst that the manufacturer could imagine, it is extremely short, so I invite the owner of this brand to think about connecting this monitor to power energy when you are going to a Starbucks, or even have it on a VESA mount.In conclusion, I bought it hoping this would kick me away from home, and frequent more coworkings, but I have it archived in my closet.

Good second monitor. Helps speed up programming tasks. Works with Raspberry pi. Love anti glare. Crisp audio!

I find that with these portable monitors it's mostly about finding one that meets enough of your criteria at a decent enough price and honestly this one does it for me. The Resolution / Aspect Ratio is really nice. Apple and all the other big laptop companies are going 16/10 for a reason. Resolution at this size is also great. You really don't need the power drain of 4K at this size and it just adds extra cost. If I was to pick something about it I didn't like, the HDR performance is kind of mediocre and I don't believe i saw a VESA certification anyway but for the price I don't really think that's an issue, at least it has it. Also the colors are a bit warm so you might need to tweak that yourself but that's doable. It's a great all rounder for the price.

I purchased this in addition to two other 15.6 inch touch screens that I also bought from Newsoul. The 13.3 inch monitor is packaged nicely and comes with a variety of cables for your specific need (HDMI, USB-C, DP). The screen size serves a very niche market for those minimalist folks who want to save extra desk space, and it is very easy to carry around. The ports are set up on the side which made it very easy to insert. The customer service is extremely helpful. I received my adapter the next day from an additional request as I wanted to project my phone onto the screen. Overall I highly recommend this product. The quality of Newsoul products has never disappointed.

works great. built in speaker is pretty terrible, but that's expected. VESA is 75x75, I believe the screw size needed is M2. While I use it as a 2nd/3rd monitor next to my 24" 1440p display, I spun up borderlands 3 for a few minutes to see how it looks. While I think the size is a little small to use for gaming primarily, it's clean enough to play games on casually. I can see it being handy if someone wants a clean portable monitor for a travel PC. be warned when turning off a pc that's connected to it, the default "no signal" screen is a BRIGHT shade of blue, but that turns off in a few seconds. overall, cannot recommend enough for the VESA, which as far as i am aware, no other monitors in this size/resolution range has.

This monitor was just the right size for me and I love the 2560x1600 resolution. Color looks great to me and the speaker is okay. It comes with a magnetic case that is also a stand. It works okay but I needed something with more stability and adjustable angles. I contacted their customer service and they were able to answer and address all questions and concerns quickly. They also sent me a VESA stand that was exactly what I needed. Great product and exceptional customer service!

Exactly what I was looking for. Nice matte finish screen, low glare. Picture looks great. Touch function is only Ok, not on par with something like an iPad, but gets the job done. Mine had a minor flaw in the machined aluminum edge on the left side. Not major, but enough to catch the light and notice. I don’t mind, as this will get lots of use and abuse, so more little marks will come. Feels substantial, but not excessively heavy. I got it specifically to play games on an exercise bike and for the kids to use with the Nintendo switch on trips.

This monitor is incredible value. I was a bit skeptical that it could have all the features it has for such a low price. But when I received it everything worked as expected. I use a Macbook Air 2020 M1 for work. I frequently travel and have to work from various locations. Because the screen on my Macboook is small, I thought a portable screen would be perfect to extend my screen real estate while working away from my home office. I love the 2k resolution because it creates more screen space for me to work on. On my Mac I did have to adjust the resolution (Displays -> Scaled) and select the toggle that's called something like, "Show all resolutions". Once I pressed that I was able to select the 2k resolution. With 2k, everything is pretty small (such as text), but it's easy to zoom in and adjust the windows / scale to the right size. Although apparently it's recommended to use the power cable separately while extending your screen, I was able to use the included USB-C to USB-C cable to power and display from my Macbook. Of course it drains your Macbook battery faster, but if your Macbook is plugged in, you should be able to simply connect the monitor into the laptop and not the wall. I'm not an expert or anything so I don't know if there are any downsides to this approach for things battery longevity, etc. But so far it's worked well for me.I also bought this screen to use to watch videos from my phone while traveling. I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Initially I attempted to connect my phone and it didn't work. My device just acted like it was charging the monitor or being charged by the monitor. It didn't recognize the display. I contacted support and received a response within a day. I was recommended a cable that they promised to reimburse me for. I ordered it (HDMI to USB-C video cable) and with it, my phone recognized the monitor as a display but the monitor was still blank. After some troubleshooting, I found out the problem was with my phone, not the monitor. My phone's USB-C port is damaged so it only communicates power not video. I plugged my younger Brother's Galaxy S20 into the monitor and it worked immediately with both cables (the included USB-C to USB-C and the separately ordered HDMI to USB-C). I told this to support and they still offered to pay for the ordered cable. Today they reimbursed me as promised. I've never had customer service this good.Just a couple things on how the monitor works with a phone plugged in. First, if you have a phone similar to mine, you definitely have to plug the monitor into the wall as well. My brother's phone's power output definitely was not powerful enough to power the monitor. Even if it did, I'm sure the phone would be drained very quickly. Much to my surprise, my brother's Samsung phone got the full 2k resolution on the monitor when mirroring the phone (Galaxy S20). Amazing how powerful phones are nowadays. Another thing I was originally concerned about was whether the display would work with protected content, aka HDCP. If the monitor and cable do not support HDCP, you cannot watch most Netflix, Hulu, etc. shows when mirroring or extending. I tested this and using the included USB-C to USB-C and the later provided USB-C to HDMI video cable, I was able to view protected content on the display, so I assume it supports HDCP. Amazing!A quick note on other features. As other reviews have said, the speakers are not very good quality. But that's not at all what I bought it for. My Macbook's speakers are good and it's easy to connect headphones to the sources device. So I didn't care that they didn't sound good. Also, some have complained about the magnetic foldable case/mount. It's true that the magnet isn't super strong, but it mainly stays mounted fine on a stable surface. No problems for me here.Essentially, the monitor does what I wanted to do, and very gracefully. Very happy with my purchase and unbeatable value for the price. I'm looking forward to using this during travel.

Pro's* Nice packaging seriously I don't care but all the reviews mention packaging... kids these days* it works as a second monitor* with the correct cable (provided) it can mirror an iPhone.* does not drain your laptop battery nor need a power source.* the service people are dogged. nay! Tenacious! (if not doggedly tenacious) about making you happy.* Cables cables cables!!! and they will send you more if what you are needing is not included.Cons* Sound is uhhh not great... but seriously what did you expect?* manual is meh at best. I suggest you get a list of questions and develop a relationship with Camile she'll take good care of you.* don't buy it as a secondary charger (it does work, but if no signal it turns off. It works but you have to keep turning it back on)* touch screen needs laptop, not phone. (use side buttons to get to settings menu)Overall it does all the things. And it does them without draining your laptop, or needing a plug.

I bought this monitor to go with my Raspberry Pi. You need a fully functioning screen to go with this card-deck sized computer. The monitor is HDMI-res and comes with a full array of cables. I particularly like the USB to USB-C cable for power. You need to find a power source, it feeds off USB power from your computer. Another appendage is the HDMI cable (mini HDMI on the monitor side) to full HDMI for the computer side. Monitor comes with a really cool wire-frame monitor stand that can position the screen at various angles. Handy to carry along. I'd rate this a buy.

This thing is a great IPS screen for something nice and portable. Super bright. Used on a work trip and easy to pack

I need a portable monitor as an additional screen for my mobile devices. I tried some other ones and only keep this one.It's just simple and reliable. Plastic frame and a little bit thick but works like a charm. I seriously consider getting a second one.

Stopped working after 5 months - says no signal, powers down, despite cords being functional and having worked with the same set up for the five prior months without issue

I bought another product the Orion switch up for my Nintendo switch that thing was a disaster. This however is perfect charges my switch while I play has battery built in cam with wires and a case big screen. It's actually portable. Love it

Stong stand and made of metal with rubber heal.
