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.

Happy customer

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.

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

Purchased two of them to extend display of MacBook Pro. Everything is aces except the Mac struggles to retain display placement configuration settings relative to main display. I’m pointing fingers at the Mac, but could be a firmware issue with the monitors. Either way, it’s a trivial matter

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.

I ordered this monitor to have an additional screen while trading. This monitor is perfect, even if I'm not trading if I'm communicating with the team I can watch movies without having to pause to respond.The audio is amazing as well as the picture quality. The screen is light weight with a durable case. Be mindful to hold the screen properly.If you're looking for an affordable and high quality monitor I truly recommend this one.Reached out to the company for a few questions and there was no hesitation in answering my questions

Needed a screen quick for work. This is PERFECT! It fits in my backpack without bulking it up. Amazing for traveling business

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

The power cord and adapter both stopped working after just 2 weeks. I have never had a cord or adapter break so soon. Not even close. I can use a cord and adapter from one of my other devices, so at least the monitor itself isn't useless now, but it's very annoying to have them tied up the whole time I'm using the montitor.

Stong stand and made of metal with rubber heal.
