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 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.

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.

At 17.3, this monitor is huge. It works as a great portable extender monitor for the laptop or for a gaming system like a STEAM Deck. You could adjust the brightness as well as has built in sound. Coming in, it also comes with the most common video connectors to make this compatible with virtually any device. Because of its flat design, its pretty light and the aluminum body makes this extremely durable to travel with; it also comes with a neoprene sleeve to help protect it during travel. In terms of visuals, the graphics are really good and the colors are extremely crisp. I have played a few games using this monitor and didnt notice any lag or delay time. Really great monitor overall for work, gaming, or to just have as an extender monitor for productivity.

COOLHOODs 17.3 portable flat panel monitor is a good, competent monitor. There are a lot of great things to say about this flat panel... but its not perfect. In its favor, it is big... 17.3-inches (diagonally) big, offering plenty of visual real estate, and pairing nicely with most 17-inch laptops. For its size, it weighs-in as expected- not heavy, definitely portable. This monitor features a built-in kick stand... so it sets up easily, and quickly. And the monitor comes with all the accessories needed, to make it plug-n-play, straight out of the box. Included are an HDMI cable, USB-A to USB-C cable, a straight USB-C cable, and a neoprene sleeve- to store and protect the display in. The monitor also comes with a USB-A power supply cube. Thats a nice touch, since so many manufacturers omit that very-useful accessory, apparently in the name of making a buck. Kudos to COOLHOOD, on this one. This portable monitor also has built-in speakers that play nicely, with good volume- though they are a bit tinny sounding. I connected this display to my Asus Zenbook 14, and even running on batteries, my laptop easily powered up this portable display- mirroring the built-in one, using only the straight USB-C cable. That IS portability. The portable monitors display is responsive, too. It had no trouble with high-speed graphics, as there was no discernible pixelation during rapid motion sequences. Brightness was on par with my PC, too. The reason I say it isnt perfect, is the saturation of color on this display. Comparing this display to the built-in display on my Zenbook- as well as other portable displays I own, I fiddled with every adjustable parameter of this monitor, but just couldnt quite get it to match the vibrancy of my built-in display. The picture I included shows the best I was able to get from this display. Its quite good... but it isnt perfect. In my opinion, this portable display always comes up looking just a little washed-out. Its crisp, its clear, its bright enough... but forever just a touch blue- no matter what setting I adjusted. I work in television, and I do a lot of video editing on my PC. Im not sure Id want to rely on this display to accurately show me a preview, before laying off finished material. That said, for gaming... or even just watching a movie, its the perfect up-size to the 14-inch display on my laptop.

Ive owned many similar portable monitors, and this one is decent in terms of overall quality vs price at the time of this review, because the price has dropped since I first requested it. The 1080P FHD IPS display provides clear images, which has been great for my work (not sure if it will work well for gaming though). The monitor is thin and lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around and use on-the-go. The invisible stand is a great feature that allows for easy adjustment and positioning. Additionally, the built-in speakers provide decent sound quality for a monitor of this size in my standard (probably not for my brother who is an audiophile). The monitor works well with my laptop (Windows). It’s only been a month, but I am quite satisfied with its performance and would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable and high-quality monitor (but make sure to compare the prices of similar monitors because there could be a coupon or deal going on Amazon)

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.

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.

This is a really lightweight monitor. Easily fits in a book bag. Comes without a cover to protect the monitor. Cable cord included. Good quality. Easy to connect and get started. Great advantage having an additional monitor. It is so lightweight that I was super surprised. I highly recommend this item.

Works great as a secondary monitor for apps like discord etc. off to the side while gaming on my primary monitor. love it!
