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

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
