I really like this monitor! It is the same size as my laptop and can easily fit together into my backpack. I like the fact it comes with a protector that can also serve as a stand. I typically use 3 monitors in the office. And I was able to use it as a 3rd screen when working from home. Customer service is great! Great follow up and quick response. They seem to want to ensure that the purchaser is happy with the product.

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.

I’ve been giving this monitor a thorough testing by using it with my touchscreen laptop, my traditional laptop, my iPhone and my Nintendo Switch. It does not disappoint!! It has a nice magnetic case/cover with it, and every cord you could possibly need. But it’s super easy to use with the type-c cord, so you may not need any of the extras that they supply you with anyway. With the built in battery, no extra power cord is needed! It holds the charge for a fairly long time, but of course that will depend on your use. Speakers are pretty good. Picture quality is excellent! The only con that I’ve found is that the navigation for the On Screen Display (OSD) menu to adjust picture/color/advanced settings is not intuitive. It’s not a touchscreen menu, and is controlled by the Brightness/Volume rocker buttons, which takes some getting used to. But once I adjusted the settings to my liking, I don’t think I’ll need to navigate through it again anyway. If you’re looking for a touch screen portable monitor, don’t hesitate to scoop this one up. Purchase with confidence! And if you do have any questions, reach out to customer service and she will respond super quick! Very knowledgeable!

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.

Emphasis on the "little"; you're not gonna be using this screen for your main dev work, but for the right project (say, an Internet radio or alarm clock) it's perfect. The documentation is a little wanting, but that's true of just about anything Raspberry Pi, I'm afraid. (Specifically, more about how the touchscreen digitizer works would be welcome.) Overall, recommended!EDIT: This is no longer the same monitor I reviewed in 2019. These people are recycling their Amazon ASINs, which is a major no-no. Too bad, too, because what's currently there now looks pretty cool.

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.

Awesome touch monitor! Very high quality, the screen and included cables. Good touch response as well. Before VGA was 14" now it's 5 and works great.This display warrants adding more the the review later. I've wasted my money on other small resistive touch displays, I'm really appreciating the capacitive screen and the fact it doesn't look like I have an old gps screen on my desk.

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.

in order to make the touch working perfectly you need to use the type C to type C cable and make the touch screen as the main screen.. or you can use hdmi + usb to type c cable together it will give the same behavior,the only thing which does not meet my expectation is the screen speaker quality is weak other than that all perfect

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

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.

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.

I am so happy with this monitor. It was easy to set up. Super sleek so it can fit in my camera/video bag. The big plus factor is that it came with a protective case.

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.

This has been a boon for my article and website reading. I use this monitor for reading PDFs and websites while I use my notebook screen for typing notes. The touchscreen is a bonus.

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.

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.

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 use this monitor to work from anywhere but home. I’m fully remote and sometimes my home office isn’t the best place for me to write or so busy work. So this monitor lets me be productive and other environments. It’s especially awesome that it only takes one cord to use and your laptop will keep it charged. Just be careful to keep it in the case at all times. I think the screen is pretty fragile. The customer service has been pretty good too.
