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.

The monitor works very well. I initially could not connect it via the USB-C ports. Their customer service was outstanding and determined that my computer was not Thunderbolt 3 compatible, which it needs to be to utilize the USB-C port. However, I am connecting it via HDMI and the monitor works perfectly. It is light weight, portable, has good color, and the smart case is very nice. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase and recommend it as a great portable monitor.

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.

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.

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.

it is the best for monitors like the arzopa dimentions ... not for laptops !

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.

What i loved most about this product is its vesa compatibility. I was able to mount it side by side with my four dell tablets. The picture quality is also great, its crisp and colorful. The item comes with all the cables you need plus if your connecting it to your mobile, it also charges your phone, so no need to worry about having low battery. It really convenient to use dex program.

I wish I'd had this in my life sooner. The 2k resolution looks fantastic. I've got it sitting next to a 32" 4K LG and the picture looks EXACTLY the same. The 2K is the perfect amount of pixels for this 13.3" monitor.Sound: I see in some reviews that the speakers aren't great. I will say this, it sounds like a little bluetooth speaker and gets the job done, and even sounds good for music though it lacks bass. I'm not complaining, though, because to use this for a portable xbox monitor and have game sounds without extra speakers getting dragged around, or for a portable work monitor it's fantastic for notification sounds.Connectivity: The monitor is powered by the USB C port to a normal USB A on a wall adapter or spare port on a computer/game system. I LOVE THIS. No extra power brick to tote around. Better yet, my laptop has Thunderbolt 3 ports, so only a single USB C to USB C cable (included in the box) is needed for both power and video. I also have the mini HDMI to HDMI for my home office setup and it works as expected.Screen case/stand: I'm left desiring a little more here. Unlike iPads that magnetically stick to the predefined spaces to angle the iPad, this monitor just rests and relies on friction to stay upright. I can't see this going well on a plane or maybe a boat where there's any bouncy movement. It will eventually rock itself flat from the movement. As far as quality, the flap is pretty good. It feels nice and offers nice protection while the monitor is covered by it. Lastly, it magnetically attaches to the back of the monitor in any placement, not just at the top/back but anywhere on the back. I like this overall, but if I had an improvement to recommend it would be the cover flap. The monitor itself is perfect and the VESA mount option is over the top.

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.

The overall quality of the monitor is really great, feels nice and solid. I've had the chance to use it with a couple of my devices and having it powered different ways. It works great connected to my Xbox and being powered from it too, but not sure why it has problems staying powered on when connected to my Laptop, the display will power off irregularity even when powered from the type c port of my laptop. It can be powered by a portable charger, but even with a 20000 mha charger, I got around a few hours before it died. The sound is okay but it's what I expected from a portable monitor.

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.

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.

Not all portable monitors have vesa mounting holes. Which was important for us when setting up a home office. It’s super light and easy to plug in to a laptop real quick. Text is crisp and the screen is pretty bright. Seems durable, and I put it in a old laptop case when I’m moving it around. Overall I am pretty happy with it.

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!

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.

portable, durable, and good!

This has really helped my workflow! Not too big & good quality. Used as a second & travel monitor for my MacBook. Love it!

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

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.
