COOLHOOD 17.3 inch Portable Monitor for Laptop, 1080P FHD IPS Laptop Monitor USB C HDMI Gaming Ultra-Thin Display w/Invisible Stand & Speaker, External Monitor for Laptop PC Mac Xbox PS4/5 Switch

I use this for presentations, the only thing to keep in mind if you power the screen off of your laptop is it does use quite a bit of battery. There is a power cord though, so not much of an issue.

For a panel this size, brightness and with sound - it worked - out the box on a Dell XPS13 Thunderbolt / USB-C connection (first picture). No supplemental power needed. Though obviously if you want your laptop battery to last any length of time - the laptop will need some power supply support! Second picture is of a DVD player via the HDMI cable - in that case the panel needs power support. Third picture - panel comes with a supply of all possible cables and a power supply to cover these scenarios. Fourth picture - Decent enough Get started guide with Frequently Asked questions. If you really need to travel with a second screen to do multi-monitor work - this could be for you. It is the weight of just under half a 17 laptop (in effect) - but that is the price of the size. The soft slip cover provided will keep it from getting scratched. But you would still need to have a place in your laptop bag to prevent it getting damaged from being hit. Would buy again.

Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Great quality, simple and easy to use. Picture is great!! Absolutely recommend!

I bought this to use as a second monitor to my laptop. It is fantastic. Great display and sound. Im very satisfied with this purchase. Definitely worth the price.

TLDR: This is an awesome travel monitor. Period. It is so thin and light and plug and play. I love the built in stand on the back and power delivery over USB-C. It supports multiple inputs and even sound as well. The whole point of this thing is that it is awesome for travel. I can definitely see a use if you had a couple of kids in the car with an XBOX or something like that. It comes with all the needed cables, which is a huge plus. WHAT I LIKE: -Incredibly Portable -It seems silly but it comes in premium packaging. I find that if a brand is willing to pay extra for nice packaging, then the product is usually of a far higher quality than competitors. -Supports multiple video imports -Built in kickstand is great. SUPER convenient. -Cables included -It is Plug and Play WHAT I DONT LIKE -When it comes to my monitors, be it a laptop or desktop, I ALWAYS buy at least 144Hz. I find that the smoothness of the screen is so noticeable that it is usually not something I will compromise on. BUT, I think that the portability of a 17 inch screen is enough to offset the lower refresh rate.

First of ill start by saying i got this portable monitor to hook up to ny samsung galaxy s10. It works perfectly! Super easy to use and the picture quality is fantastic. Everything has work flawlessly so far. I just ordered speakers to attach and the mouse i use by usb plugs in a works fantastic, so i would assume a keyboard would work just as easy. This monitor truly turns your phone into a laptop and comes with every cord and attachment necessary to connect your devices. It also comes with a protective sleeve to put it in, however the sleeve is pretty flimsy, so i ordered a more protective one from Amazon. So far ive connect my phone, and mouse as well as a power cord for the monitor with no issues. When i play Netflix through it, there was no lag between the picture on the monitor and sound coming from my phone (as i stated i just ordered a speaker for better sound quality) Overall i highly recommend this monitor as it works very well, and is high quality at a fraction of the price of some of the other monitors ive seen.

I got this because I travel quite frequently for work. This screen fits in my backpack and is super light. It’s also a good size for less eye strain as I do a lot of reading on-screen. This screen makes my corporate life so much easier because now I can travel with that extra screen I always need.

I recently had the opportunity to use the COOLHOOD Portable Monitor 17.3 inch and I was thoroughly impressed with its performance. The monitor is lightweight, slim and easy to carry around, making it an ideal choice for on-the-go use. The 1080P FHD IPS display is crystal clear and provides excellent picture quality. The colors are vibrant and the viewing angles are wide, which makes it perfect for gaming, streaming, or even just for work. I also loved the fact that it comes with an invisible stand and built-in speakers, making it easy to set up and use right out of the box. Another standout feature of this monitor is its connectivity options. It comes with USB-C and HDMI ports, which makes it compatible with a wide range of devices including laptops, PCs, Macs, Xbox, PS5/PS4 and Switch. The plug-and-play functionality makes it extremely easy to use and I didnt have to worry about any complicated setup procedures. Overall, I would highly recommend the COOLHOOD Portable Monitor 17.3 inch to anyone who is looking for a portable, high-quality monitor that can be used for work, gaming or entertainment on the go. The sleek design, excellent picture quality, and ease of use make it a great investment for anyone in need of a second monitor.

Ordered this to serve as the primary monitor for a mini–PC. It serves my purpose well, and I can also see where this monitor would be perfect for the road warrior who needs a second monitor for a laptop PC. At a mere 5.8mm thick (and no more than twice that along the bottom quarter to accommodate the inputs), the COOLHOOD monitor weighs in at just under three pounds. Its sturdy aluminum frame and remarkably well constructed protective bag allow for extreme portability. While not infinitely adjustable, the monitors built-in kickstand is sturdy, well designed, and keeps the monitor in place even on a slick surface. That being said, Im using the COOLHOOD monitor with an aluminum tablet easel, which provides much better support and adjustability for my use. Picture quality is frankly much better than expected. No excessive backlight bleed, and color remains vivid and consistent across the viewing surface. I havent messed with the brightness, contrast, etc., because the picture quality is great right out of the box. Audio is nothing spectacular, but not inferior to any other monitor Ive reviewed. I never expect audiophile quality sound from monitors anyway, so no penalty incurred. Finally, a check on Amazon shows this COOLHOOD monitor in the sweet spot among its 17.3-inch competitors pricewise. That, plus its solid, reliable form factor and excellent image quality make it a winner, in my opinion, if you need a second laptop monitor or monitor you can fit in a tight space. Id be no less enthusiastic with my review had I paid for it myself instead of receiving it on Vine.

I downsized when I bought a new laptop and was delighted to get this 17 monitor. It is easy to connect--plug and play--through HDMI or USB-C. Its even nice with a cell phone (Android, didnt try iphone). Its a lightweight monitor, easy to use and has a crisp, bright picture--plus speakers. Easy to bring along with the laptop, if needed, and a great addition to my home office. Very pleased.
