NEWSOUL

I received my item very promptly and it was everything I hoped it would be. I liked that they provided several cables for multiple connection methods. I did not have to buy anything else. It came with a monitor user manual that was easy to understand. I love the touchscreen capability. The monitor was super thin, lightweight and I love it. It has a a volume control and a plug for headphones. It came with a stand that can be adjusted to many angles. The sleeve is beautiful but I haven't figured out how to fold it so I won't need the stand provided. I figure something out when I forget the stand at home. I would buy this item again and I am very happy with my purchase. My colleagues were impressed with the sleek professional look during our presentations.

I spend a lot of my spare time evaluating single board computers (Raspberry PI. Banana Pi, Orange Pi, Odroid, Onion, Pine 64, etc.). I have tried various solutions: HD TVs in a hotel room, transporting an HD display in my luggage and even purchasing a small-screen HDTV locally. (Sometimes, I have had to use a 7" - 10" display which required the connection of a video driver card with an HDMI input. ) None of these have been an acceptable long-term solution.Recently I read the descriptions of a number of small-screen displays and monitors on Amazon and decided that this product would be worth a trial. According to the product description, this monitor appeared to have all the features of a full-sized desktop monitor, but in an incredibly compact form factor.The product arrived in a well-designed package, which included good protection for the monitor itself and space below for the MiniHDMI Cable, the MicroUSB Power Cable, Power Adapter and compact, adjustable, easel-like stand. (Also included, was a simple, but detailed, instruction pamphlet.)My first surprise when I removed the monitor was the weight of the unit. I had expected something light and flimsy, like the typical 7" touch screen displays which I had used before. Instead, this monitor is constructed within a sturdy aluminum frame. It is similar in size and shape to an iPad Mini, but without the weight of a battery.On the rear panel are mounting keyholes to allow for mounting flexibility. In addition, there are two ports for the built-in speakers. On the left edge, there are jacks for the MiniHDMI connection, 3.5mm Headphone output and MicroUSB Power input. On the right side, there are buttons for: Power On/Off; Menu; Down; Up and Exit. The onscreen menu layout is like that on any typical desktop monitor, so there is no need to learn a new process.In order to test the monitor, I connected it to the HDMI output port of an Odroid N2 SBC and applied power to both devices. Within a few seconds, the Odroid had booted to the Ubuntu MATE desktop in an HD format. The screen display was clear and bright and just like the 22" Dell HDMI monitor that was sitting on my desk. When I moved the mouse pointer arrow to the upper left corner to the MATE menu, there was no latency in terms of the display of the menus or submenus. I was mildly surprised by “key clicks" coming from the speakers, as I had no external speakers connected.Using this Newsoul monitor for the first time indicated to me that it should work properly with any HDMI source. There was no requirement to download a driver. There was no requirement to adjust any Linux parameter in the OS. It just works! I did check the various adjustments in the monitor menu, and they all seemed to work appropriately. (The Aspect Ratio defaults to HD, but 4 X 3 is also an option.)Overall, this monitor is built as though they had taken a full-sized HDMI monitor and somehow magically shrunk it down to 7"! I highly recommend it for size, performance and priceImage: Monitor showing Ubuntu MATE Desktop from Odroid N2 single board computer. (Standard keyboard)Update:For some reason, the display went into a dark mode (as though a screen saver had been triggered) after several days of use. I exchanged emails with the manufacturer as they tried to trouble shoot the issue. Finally, after about a week, their recommendation was to initiate a return/replacement with Amazon. The Amazon process was incredibly easy! I received an advance replacement within a few days and the physical return process was very simple.The replacement display has worked flawlessly!It is good to work with a manufacturer who takes responsibility for Customer Service with their products.

Working great.The picture quality it is crisp and clear.The quality of the screen is nice for a 5 sensitive points but looks fragile just take care when you carry with you.The brightness is good for indoor for outdoor not too much because the screen is glossy.The volume is low but ok, I use the 3.5mm jack to connect my headphones or speakers.The Colorful Flowing Atmosphere Lights are very low I don't see the difference if is on or off :PBeen using for a month with my S10+ in mirror mode and Dex mode both working great, tested with a laptop and the touch is working.The only downside was the HDMI cable didn't work for me (used another one) and that only have 1 OTG USB port. I use wired mouse, keyboard and controller because I'm using it for gaming so I bought a USB HUB and its working great.

UPDATE: I received another 13.3" monitor from the seller. The one I received was a 4k rather than a 2k monitor (https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Monitor-Upgraded-Speakers-Computer/dp/B09RZQWH3Z/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1). This 4k monitor works perfectly. A single Type-C cable for both signal and power, and it saves any monitor settings that you change. Also a better picture.=== Original review ===First, good resolution at 2k and nice display.However this is not a slim monitor as described. At 9mm for a non-touch screen monitor, this is thick. It is barely 2.5mm thinner than my 13.5" laptop which has a touch screen. The thickness is however not a huge deal for me.The big problem is the fact that monitor settings (e.g. brightness) are not save/restored unless when you connect via HDMI. I.e. if you set monitor brightness for instance, disconnect and reconnect the power, the brightness returns to default settings. This is annoying for a portable monitor which is meant to be connected and disconnected often. This is true whether you connect with a single type-C cable for both signal and power, or whether you connect an external type-C cable for power before connecting another type-C cable for signal. The only time settings are saved/restored between connections is if you use a HDMI cable for signal.

I used this once. It’s stopped working not even two weeks after buying it. Incredibly disappointed.

I'm a big fan of portable monitors, they are great for traveling or camping, I also use them with my mini PC to maintain a small footprint. This monitor is very light at about 4 lbs and has a very vibrant screen. It comes with a case/stand that attaches magnetically, USB power supply and cable along with hdmi cables.One nice feature is it has VESA screw holes on the back so you can mount it on a stand, just be aware as it's very light so you have to use a monitor stand that doesn't have a minimum weight limit as many are spring loaded.The case doubles as a stand and has 2 indents to hold the monitor at different angles. One thing that isn't very obvious is you can press the volume rocker on the side to enter the setup menu where there is a load of settings you can tweak if you desire. I set mine to Vivid mode to get more vibrant colors, there is also a gaming and movie mode.I hooked it up to my Switch and the games display very nicely, the sound isn't too bad as well, you can't expect big sound from the small built-in speakers. I would recommend pairing a Bluetooth speaker or headphones anyway to get much better sound.When you are done the monitor quickly packs up and is easily transportable. Would be a great complement as a 2nd screen to a laptop or even a desktop PC. I'll most likely use it to play games and watch movies on the go. I would definitely recommend this monitor as it combines a great lightweight display at an affordable price.

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.

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.

I have purchased numerous monitors for my custom arcade machine, never quite happy but limited in size to 19 inches or less. Then I purchased this on a whim, and it is literally a game changer! Virtually the same viewable area as the 19 inch it replaced, but WOW the picture is great, refresh is great, and viewing angle is excellent in ALL directions. Build quality and packaging seem well beyond the price. Only negative is that it is a little dim, and colors are slightly muted. I am sure with some adjustment I could fix a bit, but frankly on balance the picture out of the box is really great and I am just leaving it alone.

Originally I was planning to just use this monitor while traveling on WFH stuff but this is such a big monitor I’ve been using it as one of my primary displays even at home. It’s really clear, smooth, and bright. I don’t notice any input lag when using it, and it’s great that just a single USB port can power the display and drive the image as well. It’s also nice that it feels sturdy and looks so sleek, along with the nice case/stand.Would definitely recommend if you’d like a great portable monitor that can double as a main display even at home.

This 16" 2K Monitor is a great value and is feature rich. It includes a very versatile leatherette magnetic desktop case, east to use controls and a high quality image. A single toggle on the side gets you to all menu features and setting menus, very intuitive and fast settings.I like how light this is and how easily it is to connect. All the cables needed are included and the instructions do a good job outlining the settings and adjustments.Includes a nice 100mm VESA mounting holes on the back to allow any VESA bracket to be used.THe screen is bright, clear and has very good resolution. If there was a 6 star review I would rate it there.

Very happy with the product and customer service. The monitor is great for someone who works on-the-go such as myself! I did have an issue within the first few weeks of receiving the monitor (the screen cracked), however, the customer service was amazing and they immediately shipped me a replacement monitor. Very happy with the quick response!

Very portable, stand does not take up too much desk space (important as a consultant in packed conference rooms), crisp display.

Scored this monitor for $139.99 after $20 coupon at checkout. Can't beat what you get for the price. It's an upgrade from my previous FHD 15.6" with modestly better specs but overall, more than a modest upgrade when I switched out monitors and put it through its paces. Nice picture quality at 500 nits and easy on the eyes. Decent build quality and feel. USB-C/USB-C works like a charm off a single cable for power and video. No issues with HDMI/HDMI connections from laptop or using Lightning adapter from iPhone--just need to power the monitor separately. Dial wheel is a bit cumbersome but once the monitor is set up, no need to keep making adjustments.

This monitor is amazing. Just what i needed for my extended work from home situation. I like the portability of the monitor, so, I can move this around the house when I work in different spots. Customer service is amazing. I had an issue with previous monitor (could have been damaged during delivery), the CS took care of the replacement right away without hassle.

This is a great little monitor, I’m using it mainly with my Switch and the video quality is amazing. I’m getting no input lag and that’s a must for me when it comes to gaming. Built in speakers have good audio but I play with headphones plugged in through the audio jack. It folds shut into a protective cover which is a nice plus for traveling. If you’re in the market for a cheap portable monitor that’s great for gaming, look no further.

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.

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.

Needed a case to protect a portable monitor. Protects the screen when the monitor is in your laptop bag.

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.
