It is a very good monitor.... I am very happy that I got it. The resolution is FHD. It is working perfectly with my Windows laptop. It came with a charger, two USB C cables, and HDMI cable. I just plugged the power cable and the HDMI cable in and monitor is working with no issues. Its HDMI port is a regular size. It has a micro USB port and it has power button, and two volume buttons. I am happy with this 17 inch monitor. Highly recommend.

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.

I had the same issues the other reviewers had and that was that the touchscreen functionality requires a lot of power the monitor just can't produce based on the cables and power supply your given. I have returned and tried a few work arounds to to avail. The reason why I gave it 1 star is because I bought it as a touch screen and it fails to work as one without some special software update or special cables. Hardware should be simple plug and play. I did keep one of the two that I ordered as a monitor as its perfect size for home office. just wish the touch screen functionality wasn't complicated to turn on G-Story makes a perfect one .. I would have ordered another but they are out of them.

I needed a small monitor for a second machine on my desk. This seemed nice, and the touchscreen was a bonus. I wasn't actually expecting it to be as nice as it is -- it's super thin and the (faux) leather carrying case is functional. The display is great; bright, sharp, and responsive. I'm actually going to start carrying this around as a second monitor for my laptop for work travel.Would be nice if it could work off a single USB-C cable for everything (power + video + touch), as right now it requires 2 or 3 cables plugged in including uncommon mini-HDMI. But once everything's plugged in, it works great.

This had a low quality screen. Lower than any old monitor I have had in the past 10 years. There is no possible way this is an IPS or HDR monitor. At full brightness, it is half as bright as a normal IPS monitor set at normal brightness level. The pixels are so low in quality you can actually see the pixel matrix, sort of like a grid on the screen. I don't recommend this product. I should have trusted the real reviews. Instead I got suckered by the obviously fake 5 star reviews.

The monitor is honestly kind of a steal considering the quality. It does everything it advertises but at a relatively fair price. One slight issue I had was its compatibility with 3rd party vesa monitor arm, but the customer service was really quick and efficient and resolved the issue in the end. Highly recommend.

The monitor has been great to use whether I am at a coffee shop needing a second screen. It’s great when I’m at work, but I want to go outside and work. It’s very easy to use, and the brand gives you plenty of cables to use. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

Works great for me. It's a big monitor, and it supports all of the common inputs: USB-C, HDMI and Mini-DP. It also supports a VESA mount for when you don't need it to be portable.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Meets all expectations. Lightweight but strong enoungh to be thrown into the sleeve in the backpack (along with its protective case). I turned up the brightness and all is very sharp and crisp. not lag.Am using just the single usb -c cable to connect. Power, Signal, and even Touch all on the one cable.I was worried Id need to use the deticated power cable as for other items such as small usb 'optionally/non powered/powered' usb home docking station I have .. the computer battery will slowly drain. but with this screen. after 2 hours and both screens turned up bright computer battery is at 100%.So far really happy with the purchase. arrived fast I will be a great asset when on the road or working at co-op desks.

For the value and what it offers, I think it is pretty good. The build quality is very good. If you are looking for a simple monitor that you can connect to your laptop for work or school, this one is the one you should choose.

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.

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

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.

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.
