ZSCMALLS Portable Monitor 15.6 Inch Full HD USB C HDMI Computer Display Dual Monitor with Speaker for Laptop Computer Phone Gaming Monitor for PS3 PS4 Xbox Nintendo Raspberry pi

I wanted a portable monitor for a while now that was a full 1080p monitor. A friend of mine showed me this one while it was on a "Limited Time Deal" so I took a chance on it. It has been great.It runs on my portable charger (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0915T91JN/) and will do so for a few hours. That was a major need for me since the monitor has no battery of its own but I own 2 of the portable chargers already and they put out plenty of wattage/amps.It is a very capable 1080p 60Hz monitor. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C power cable, a power block and an HDMI to micro-HDMI cable. I don't see any blurring when using the monitor. I mostly use it as a testing monitor as it's easy to move around and set up. I've used it for gaming a couple of times as well and it performed admirably. Colors are vibrant and text is easy to read. The sound leaves something to be desired. It has low volume even at 100%. It's there but it's just not very loud at all.There is also a case it comes with to protect the screen and use as a stand. Protect the screen? Yes. Use as a stand? Hard No. After the 4th time it slid down and hit the table I gave up and bought a separate stand. Minor issue but definitely one worth noting since the case is technically a stand and therefore a selling point.I took it on my last camping trip to use with my Steam Deck. That was fun. :)I definitely recommend this if you have a use or need of a portable monitor. If not get a desktop monitor for a few dollars more - You'll get a better refresh rate for almost the same cost.

First of all, let me just state for the record that, as someone who is involuntarily working from home at the moment, this item really saved my sanity because I can have an extended screen literally anywhere in the house. If I want to sit at the kitchen table or the patio or the laundry room or wherever, all I have to do is connect the HDMI and connect the USB and it's up and ready to go. The picture quality is outstanding and the display area is W I D E, which, being a woman of a certain age, I definitely appreciate.BUT, if I had even one complaint about it, it is this: the wires !!!You have to connect your laptop to this display via an old fashioned HDMI cord and the one they provide to you is standard length, making for quite a lot of wire to wrangle with just in and of itself, BUT (and here's the kicker), that's not the only wire involved in the process: you also have to connect this display to some sort of power source because it has no built in battery or other power source. The provide you with a type C to USB cord so that you can plug the C end into the display and the USB end into your PC but if you do this, it drains the battery on your PC, so then you have to get a THIRD cord involved to provide power to your PC so that the display doesn't eat up your battery.I actually really do love this item and I use it every single day, but the cord situation is ridiculous. If I had to do it over again, I would try to find a display that a) connects to the laptop screen and b) utilizes BT to connect to the PC and c) has its own battery pack. Not sure if they make that type of display but if this one ever quits on me that's what I'm going to buy.

I have recently bought new Dell xps 15. This portable monitor is a perfect companion. It works flawlessly with my Dell xps 15. No noticeable mouse lag. It works right out of the box with minimum setup, just plug and play by simply connecting my laptop to the portable monitor with the provided usb-c to usb-c cable. In addition, it also comes with all other types of cables for other device connection. More importantly, the display is anti glare matte which it is perfect for using it outside. The colour is crispy with multiple colour profiles. I use it as a second screen for news, market watch and movies while my younger siblings also use it as a monitor for their Nintendo switch devices. The audio is what you can expect: clear and loud. Lastly, it has a good chassis as it feels pretty durable when I walk around with it. But more importantly, it comes with a pretty sleek protector to protect my portable monitor as well.

For the price, this thing is unbeatable. Good physical design, fantastic picture quality for the price, a lot of options (including HDR), and legit portability. It's particularly good if you plan on using it with a Nintendo Switch. Overall, it checks almost all the right boxes, but with a few notable caveats.The picture quality is surprisingly good. Once properly adjusted, the monitor is bright with good contrast, and doesn't look washed out. It also has a surprisingly broad viewing angle It's not going to win any awards, but it easily beats many full-sized monitors in the same price range.The HDR is surprisingly decent: it's pretty hard to get good HDR on ANY monitors in this price range, but this one somehow pulls it off. Again, it's not going to win any awards, but the fact that it has it at all is pretty cool. If the picture quality doesn't immediately meet your expectations, there are plenty of options tweak to your hearts content. However, those options are where its biggest problems lie, which I'll get into shortly.In terms of design, the portfolio-style cover/stand is a handsome dark granite grey with contrasting stitching, which looks great. However, unlike most portable monitors, it lacks any sort of magnet, clip, or elastic band to keep the portfolio closed when not in use. Not a deal-breaker, but noticeable if this isn't your first portable monitor. That said, the monitor and portfolio are very thin, which makes it easy to slip this into a small backpack, or anywhere else a thin 15.6" laptop would fit.The monitor can powered with its included power cable or via USB, which means it can be powered by your laptop, game console, or Nintendo Switch dock. It can display video through both HDMI or USB-C sources. For Switch users, you can plug the monitor directly into the USB-C port on the bottom of the console to simultaneously display video and charge the Switch, which is a nice perk (you'll still need a power source for the monitor itself, obviously). In terms of being a portable monitor, it does everything it's supposed to, and thensome.The back panel of the monitor itself is a cool brushed metal, while the rest of the monitor is cased in the usual plastic. The built-in speakers are decent for what they are; not very loud and obviously lacks anything but treble, but relatively clear and not as tinny as most portable monitor speakers.Unfortunately, this is where its first problem shows up: there's no 3.5mm RCA output. Most monitor makers are aware that their built-in speakers are budget-bin quality and used as a last resort, so they give you a 3.5mm jack to output to speakers with more oomph, but this monitor lacks that. For Switch and PC users, this might not be a problem, but for PS4 users, this is something to note, as the PS4 console only outputs audio through either HDMI or Optical SPDIF (its even refuses to connect to Bluetooth speakers). If you were planning to use an analog 2.1 speaker set with this, you'll need to plug it into your controller, which is awkward. Not a deal-breaker for most people, but definitely a problem for me. Considering that cheaper portable monitors have 3.5mm audio jacks, this omission is odd.Finally, we reach the big problem that'll affect nearly everyone: the menu interface. This is possibly the worst I've used. The menu controls boil down to just three buttons: a Menu button that doubles as an "enter" button, a Left button, and a Right button that doubles as an "exit" button. The first problem: the Left and Right buttons are REVERSED. This means if you want to go left, you press the Right button; to go right, you press the Left button. Considering that all menus and adjustments are arranged horizontally, this makes menu navigation and adjustment more confusing than it needs to be.Second, to back out from menus, you long-press the Right button, which becomes problematic when adjusting settings. You can hold down the Left button to quickly adjust settings in that direction, but holding down the Right button will kick you out of the menu and CANCEL your adjustments, forcing you to start over. Imagine trying to adjust the volume on your TV. Here, you're capable of increasing the volume very quickly by holding the up button, but to lower the volume, you can only tap the down button repeatedly, and if you accidentally hold it too long, it'll kick you out of the Volume menu and then RESET the volume. Now imagine having to do that for dozens of menus and submenus. Once again, it's needlessly wonky.One last problem is the coloring of the menu options. In cases where you only have two options, the options are identified with contrasting colors, but which color is "on" and which is "off?" It's not immediately apparent. You'd have to find another menu that has multiple options to figure out what you should be looking for, which isn't fun when your lefts and rights are reversed and accidentally holding a button kicks you out of the menus entirely.All that said, you'd (ideally) only really need to adjust the settings once, and the lack of a 3.5mm RCA jack isn't going to keep most people up at night, so those problems are somewhat superfluous in comparison to its positives. For a compact, well-built portable monitor with excellent picture quality and solid synergy with laptops and Nintendo Switches, this is hard to top.

Overall -This is a really decent monitor for its price.Physical-It comes in a protective case sitting well inside the box. If you dont mind there's a faded black number on the screen protector that it comes with and make the screen dull a bit. Keep it on, as it will be a really nice screen protector for you. The structure is really solid and I like it when they come in all types of cable needed for the monitor so you dont have to spend more money to buy something else.In terms of performance:The Good -I love it how it is plug and play, really easy to use, loud speaker good enough for watching drama and some casual gaming. Love the quality of the image and sound. It's not too too bright but that's okay, common thing for portable monitor. The respond time and smoothness of the image is top of the line.The Bad-The device go into power saving mode really quick, after the screen is turned off you cant turn it back on unless you unplug the power from it. When I try to turn off the power saving with the screen turned on, it wont respond to my command when i click the buttons. The monitor will go power saving again and turn off the screen, and when you plug it in the new device, it only play the sound and the image stays black. So, every time you need to switch device, you have to do so before it goes in power saving, if it did... you need to unplug the power and plug it back in again. This screen dont have a on/off button, I tried to press all the buttons I could to get it turned on, but nope. This monitor NEED an on/off button. Guess what would happen when you plug and plug a cable head for so many times, they worn out quick. If this monitor has an on/off button, it will extend the life of the plug in and cable. This is the same annoying reason why I returned this product.Conclusion-Dont get me wrong, this is a really good monitor for how much it cost. I just dont like how it runs when you need to switch devices all the time.
