> 3 dayIve 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)

> 3 dayI actually ordered this to use with my iPhone, and while I couldnt figure out how to make it work (kept getting a no signal message) I was able to hook it up easily to my laptop and use it as a 2nd monitor. The kids can use it with their Switch and Nintendo as well, comes with multiple types of cables (usb, usbc, hdmi, etc) to hook up to just about anything. Im sure if I called Customer Support they could help me hook it up to my phone. Brightness is good, honestly it makes my old laptop monitor look dull! Comes with a nice carrying case and is boxed up nicely (similar to how Apple products are boxed). Nice and hefty, would like the stand to have more than one tilt option but you can just lean it on something so no big deal there. All in all its a good size, color and brightness are good, easy to hook up, a good buy.

> 3 dayI recently ordered the OOLHOOD 17.3 inch Portable Monitor and I couldnt be happier with my decision. The first thing I noticed was how easy it was to set up and start using. The monitor was plug-and-play, meaning there was no complicated software to download or installations needed. After plugging it in, I was able to immediately begin using it. The display quality is top-notch. With a resolution of 1920x1080, the picture is crystal clear and the colors are incredibly vivid. The monitor is also adjustable, allowing me to adjust the brightness, contrast, and temperature to my liking. One of my favorite things about this monitor is how lightweight it is. Its incredibly portable and thin, making it easy for me to use it on-the-go. I didnt have to sacrifice quality for portability with this monitor, which was a major selling point for me. Overall, I highly recommend the OOLHOOD 17.3 inch Portable Monitor to anyone in need of an extra display. The quality and clarity of the display, combined with the portability and ease-of-use, make it a product that everyone should consider.

17-11-2024COOLHOODs 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.

Greater than one weekI was in the market for a nice thin monitor to use in a workstation Im building. Im setting up my laser and 3d printer room and needed something mounted to a wall that is EXTRA thin. this thing is perfect. The picture quality is fantastic, especially for its size. I havent used it for gaming or anything, but I dont expect it would have any issues handling your Xbox, PlayStation, or PC games. the built-in stand works fine, it holds the screen up in the position you set it in, although Im not currently using that feature in my setup. having it use USB c to power it up is extremely convenient too since I always have a spare cable laying around in case this one goes bad for some reason. overall, this screen is 100% exactly what I was looking for and, honestly, exceeded my expectations on quality by a large margin.
