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

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.

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.

Exactly what I was looking for. Nice matte finish screen, low glare. Picture looks great. Touch function is only Ok, not on par with something like an iPad, but gets the job done. Mine had a minor flaw in the machined aluminum edge on the left side. Not major, but enough to catch the light and notice. I don’t mind, as this will get lots of use and abuse, so more little marks will come. Feels substantial, but not excessively heavy. I got it specifically to play games on an exercise bike and for the kids to use with the Nintendo switch on trips.

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

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 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.

Best laptop extra monitor I have found at a decent price. The colors and brightness of this display are excellent. Setup was a breeze, completely up and running in 10 minutes. Lots of menu options and straight forward connections that make setup and use a easy task. I took this with me to work off site at Starbucks and had more comments then I expected. I probably helped sell a few of these just in this one visit. The pictures do not do it justice, my iphone camera is great but the ambient light was a struggle to get a true quality picture.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

There’s a lot of options for portable monitors. I have searched over 20 different brands and I found it is the best for value/features. The interface has buttons on the side to control settings and volume. This is more intuitive than the scroll wheel button used in other models. Sound is mediocre, I can play retro games on it, but for movies, then I recommend using external speakers. There is no logo with non-sensical English, which makes my desk setup more professional looking. The frame feels solid and gives a premium feel. The VESA has 4 holes to mount, other brands has only 2. The picture quality is within specifications of a 1080p monitor, so within my expectations.

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.

Initially all the Settings could be changed. Then I went back to adjust the brightness and contrast, but could no longer scroll to those settings. I returned it, since I could not change the Settings after about 5 min of use.

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.

I love this new screen! The customer service is also amazing! I am excited to use for my new business!

The screen is not 100% srgb at all acoording to my test equipments. It was 96% at hdr and awfully 26% srgb when hdr was off. As hdr function is doubtful. As i runned battle field 5 with hdr on. The saturation way why off. I cant even see my in game profile picture

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.
