The customer service for this company is top notch, I had an issue and they made a huge difference, I would recommend this company if you have any issues!

Having bought a handful of portable monitors from Amazon, this definitely seems to be the best bang for buck, and one of the very few that have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which is very helpful and ideal as a secondary work monitor. The extra height compared to a 16:9, although minimal, does make it that much better.Picture quality: 5/5Overall picture quality is very good. Given the screen size of 16", 2560x1600 makes content look really sharp and text appears clear and legible. Overall color accuracy is pretty good as well, although I would not be using this for any type of professional media editing.There's also basic picture adjustments available, such as brightness, contrast, backlight, etc, but I left them all at default. As far as brightness goes, this monitor can get fairly bright. In normal ambient room light, I keep the backlight turned to 10 (out of 50), and it is plenty bright already. In an office setting, I usually turn up backlight to around 30 or 40.And even though this is marketed as having HDR, this monitor does not get bright enough to take advantage of HDR. SDR is more than good enough with this monitor.Build quality: 4.5/5The monitor itself is very light and thus makes it very portable. The folder/portfolio case that it comes with is handy as well. I would hesitate carrying this around by itself, as it doesn't look like it withstand much stress. If pair with a laptop to provide it more rigidity in bag, it should be fine. The VESA mount option is also very useful.Note: my first unit that I received was defective, as it kept flickering upon turning on. However, customer support was very helpful and exchanged a new unit for me within a few days. The new monitor is working perfectly.Price: 5/5This monitor hits the sweet spot at ~$150, and between the 4 portable monitors I purchased on Amazon, it is probably the best quality monitor for the price. While there are slightly cheaper options, they're mostly lower resolution or smaller in size. And for the ones with similar specs, they're almost a full 50% more expensive for not much more features other than maybe higher frame rates. A lot of them are also not 16:10.Overall, I think this is a great monitor. Although I use it primarily for work, I would not hesitate to use it occasionally as a portable screen to watch some movies or play some games. I would highly recommend, and the customer support is great is well.

On 6/15/22, I purchased this monitor as a 2nd screen for my MacBook Air. The screen was good for about 3 weeks, then I noticed a hairline crack, even though I didn't drop the screen. The crack got bigger over time; and ended up extending across the entire screen. I wrote a review about it; and immediately a rep from Newsoul contacted me and offered a replacement screen. I accepted and received the replacement screen around 7/30/22. Unfortunately almost immediately the screen started flashing lights. I tried different cables, but the flashing lights didn't disappear. Then less than 2 weeks after I receive the replacement, my screen went dark for no reason every 2-5 minutes. I would need to unplug/plug cable; or jiggle the screen to try to revive the screen. But the frequency and length of screen going dark is increasing, so most likely I don't expect the screen will last much longer.So in conclusion, although customer service is very responsive and helpful, I would not recommend this product due to quality issues.

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

This is the second NewSoul monitor I have purchased. The first is still going strong after 2 years of pretty frequent use. Would purchase again.

This monitor was exactly what I was looking for. I love the 2560x1600 resolution. Color is good and audio is okay. Customer service is great! I had a few questions and they were able to respond in a timely manner. The monitor also comes with a magnetic case that is also a stand. I use this primarily as a second screen to my laptop but I did try to connect to my mobile devices and it works also. It’s got all the connections I need and I don’t have to connect it to an external power supply.

Connect this item to a 2020 Macbook Air 13", and it works just fine in terms of plug and play. Unfortunately, there is a power drain so severe when running CPU intensive applications the Macbook battery discharges completely after 4-5 hours of use. And yes, the Macbook as well as the monitor are both plugged into AC power while this happens. This also happens when the laptop monitor is completely dimmed black. Also, power surges are common. When they do happen the monitor goes into sleep mode immediately. Whatever work you had on the monitor is now transferred to the laptop, and it's annoying. I'm trying to find out how power distribution works, but that information is limited to internet searches as the manual in the box is all of 3"x3" and maybe 10-15 pages.

First, the display monitor and accessories were well packaged and made of high quality.It was very easy to connect this monitor to my laptop and configure it to be extended or duplicate. Just connect the provided HDMI or USB cable, power cord, and you’re done.There’s wall mounting bracket hardware that allows you to easily attach the display to the wall and remove it for on the go!The display quality is excellent. Sharp contrast, bright colors, and no flicker observed.I’m not a gamer but this display should work fine with gaming devices.Overall great display for portability - at home or on the move with a laptop.

This is a really well designed portable monitor stand.I tested it with my 15.6 inch portable monitor and it was really stable.You can also tighten the hinges with the included Allen wrench.There’s an area underneath the stand to store it, which is really convenient.What really astounding about this stand was that, it even worked with a 17.3 inch portable monitor, and was very stable.The monitor can be rotated 360 degrees for a vertical or horizontal orientation.Highly recommended.

Most of the time I skip the review part. But this one definitely deserves one.Customer Support - SuperStars :)Best part is customer support. The Iphone connector was not supported. I sent an email to customer support. They responded in minutes and helped me in an unexpected way. They sent me the suitable connector information and refund for the purchase as well. That was a once in a lifetime experience for me. Kudos you guys.Product Review ( After two weeks usage)Display clarity: It works charm as an extended laptop and phone display.Connectivity: Connection is smooth and fast. I didn’t face any glitch or connection delay.Sound: Sound is not too high. But it’s very clear and satisfying for a portable display.Handling and setup : It’s very lightweight and the holding pad is perfect.Final conclusion: Buy it :)

Suuuper easy to tote around and set up. Quality & price are perfect and you only need one small cord to connect to the laptop.

I use this for general programming in conjunction with full size monitors. It makes work easier with a smaller monitor that can be put away or off to the side when not in use. Absolutely great resolution and screen quality.

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.

I travel a lot for both work and leisure, and also work remote from both my own home and from my family's home so I've always used various travel monitors. Travel monitors over the years have gotten so much better and cheaper (started with a Lenovo 720p 14" over a decade ago), and I regularly kept upgrading since they're so handy to have. My last travel monitor (an Asus) broke due to my clumsiness so I was in the market for a new one. I was just going to buy another Asus when I noticed they have 17.3" travel monitor... which was extremely expensive because it was a ROG series gaming monitor (240hz, 3ms, other fancy features). I mainly just wanted something for work but the idea of having such a nice, large display for a travel monitor was temping. I almost pulled the trigger when I noticed a lot of off-brand 17.3" travel monitors which were plenty for what I needed (17.3" and 1080p) and I ultimately settled on this one.Initially, I was kind of surprised that there's no brand logo on it (and only noticed after received it that the stock pictures are the same- no brand logo) but honestly, I find that a plus because it's a sleek and clean design. I plugged it in, Windows recognized it immediately AFTER I used the right cable (there is both a USB C power/video cable and then a USB C power only cable) and into the right slow (again, there's a slot just for power and a slot for power/video input). My work laptop (Lenovo T480s) kept disconnecting it every now and then for a few seconds before reconnecting- I wasn't sure why but after I plugged in the additional cable for power, it stopped disconnecting. I figure it was my work laptop could not sufficiency power it so to test the theory, I tried it with my personal laptop (Lenovo Legion 6 Gen 5) and it worked fine with just the single video/power cable; I did not need the additional power cable. Overall, I'm very happy with the monitor for work. Visually, productivity software looks nice and clean on it, and playing some HD video, it was smooth, bright and with vibrant colors.I did not try it with anything else (HDMI) or try the other ports (micro-USB/headphone jack). It does have built in speakers, which is nice and they work decently well but aren't super loud.Just for fun, I had my Switch near by and decided to see if I could just plug the USB C cable to my Nintendo Switch and... nothing. So I plugged in the power cable and it worked! What a nice surprise, you can use this to play the Switch, just like you would a regular docked TV, as long as you can also feed it from a power supply. Metroid Dread looked and sounded good, I didn't notice any input lag or anything. Not sure if it works with all Switch models but I have the OLED model, I imagine it would work with the standard Switch too since the OLED Switch works with the standard Switch dock (Lite users are SOL). Bonus note: it even worked when I used my Anker battery bank to power it!Also included was a USB wall plug and a fold-around case, which doubled as the stand. The case/stand doesn't seem like it's going to be super protective nor does it really function as a great stand (can't angle it to anything other than the standard 45-degree angle). The case stand is probably my only knock on the product. It is VESA compatible too, which seems kind of pointless for a travel monitor but... yeah.

I wanted to have a smaller work station at my dining room table so I can easily pack it up at the end of the day, so I bought this portable monitor, along with a keyboard and mouse and and stands for my monitor and laptop - all from Amazon.I don’t consider myself tech savvy, and I got it all out of the boxes and set up with my HP Elitebook in about 10-15 minutes. The monitor alone took a couple minutes. So easy.The monitor, is thin, light, great size and has a nice carrying case for travel. The color resolution is not the best, but good enough for my purposes. Speakers are nice if you need them.

This portable monitor has been fantastic to use for the times im working from home. It's a great price and use compared to anything else in this price range and higher.It has built in speakers, a Full HMDI input, 2 USB c ports, a Volume knob and headphone jack.(take that iphone)As you can see from the pictures i've tested it out with various devices including my Steam deck (also shows its size to scale) My phone and a macbook air, all worked flawlessly with no issues, picture looks great and can be tuned in the monitor built in settings.The customer support has also been extremely positive so far and reaches out to you frequency to make sure you're satisfied

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.

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.

Received today. Nice crisp display. Easily connects to devices. Would be nice if the cables were about a foot longer, but otherwise seems to be a great product.

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