> 24 hourI moved from an LCD portable monitor (same form factor) to an OLED. Wasnt expecting to be blown away, but I truly was. -Way brighter than LCD panel. Not sure what the exact nits rating is, but can get extremely bright. -Colors were incredibly more vibrant. Expected with an OLED, but still impressive. -Virtually zero input lag, great for gaming. Tested on a Switch and Steam Deck. -Zero ghosting. This is really what caught my eye. The other LCD portable monitor had noticeable ghosting when gaming, and it threw the visuals off. This thing not only has zero ghosting, but due to the pixel responsiveness, the image quality is much, much higher using the same source material. Zelda TOTK looked night and day different on the LCD monitor vs this OLED. If youre looking for a good portable monitor for gaming, color accuracy, and brightness - this is great. Highly recommended.

> 24 hourPros -Oled -Can be powered and transfer video over thunderbolt 3/4 with one cable -easy to use OSD -all cables are provided Cons -8 bit Frc introduces color banding on HDR content (typical of 8 bit frc) -USB C connection only seems to be DP 1.2 compatible meaning HDR only works through HDMI Overall good purchase, easy to use and acceptable image quality. Best use scenario would be a console or laptop with thunderbolt connectivity. SDR content looks the best it could ever look. Some suggestions to make this product better would be VRR support, a native 10 bit panel and DP 1.4 compatible USB C ports.

> 24 hour**MAKE SURE YOUR COLOR SPACE IS RGB 444** I initially had the color space of my device outputting YUV 422 12-bit Rec. 2020 to the monitor which didnt give me proper blacks and I thought the monitor wasnt OLED. Turns out I was wrong and after setting my device to output RGB 444 it displays properly! Great Monitor and Great Customer Service!

> 24 hourMy son bought this monitor as a sort of impulse buy, he needed a third monitor to add to his computer setup so he could stream his local baseball games while he played videogames with his friends. This seemed to check all the boxes he wanted, USB C, HDMI and most importantly OLED which he didn’t think was possible at this price point so he decided to give it a shot. Knowing the price he paid he wasn’t expecting to be blown away by any means but that all changed when he got my hands on the monitor. The box it comes in feels premium enough for me to think it was a high end phone he was unboxing; it also comes with all cables included in the box that you might need including 2 USB type C to USB type C cables USB type A to USB type C a very nice power brick to power the monitor via USB type C And a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable Most importantly however this monitor comes included a great feeling cover that also folds into a stand. The cover feels great and premium as well. Since he is using this monitor as a streaming screen he has it hooked up to a 4 way HDMI splitter that he has mounted under his computer desk and with a press of a button he can change the monitor to his fire stick to his PC, Series X and PS5 easily. Firstly, he said if you expect to use HDR for gaming or tv viewing make sure to plug it in either using the power brick it comes with or another equally powerful usb power brick. He did notice when using USB C to USB type A power brick the monitor would flash a bit when an all white screen would be displayed. However, this is the ONLY complaint he has with this monitor. Turning the monitor on he was greeted to his Fire stick, he tuned into our local baseball game and I was shocked at the picture quality. The colors pop and the black levels are perfectly black with no backlight bleed or anything meaning this monitor truly is OLED! I was nervous about the fact that this monitor is so inexpensive that there would be some sort of downside to picture quality but I literally cannot think of one bad thing to say about the picture quality at all. He has an LG OLED tv in the same room and he uses this monitor over the tv for the picture quality, which is saying a lot! He has also started using this monitor as his main monitor for gaming on his consoles, sure the monitor is only 15” but this also makes the picture quality at 1080p more realistic than any bigger tv could hope to accomplish. Since the screen is smaller the PPI is perceived to be much higher than a 4K 65 inch television meaning 4K in this size monitor would be useless anyway. The colors and response time are perfect and the brightness is more than enough for HDR to be perfectly bright and colorful and the black levels are absolutely perfect in every way. I do wish however that HDR would automatically switch off and on depending on what is on the screen but unfortunately you have to do this through the settings on the monitor. Instead he just left HDR on all his devices so he no longer has to worry about it. In conclusion this might be the best 15 inch portable monitor you can by at any price range in my opinion. You can also email them for a free item for the monitor including a carrying case, longer cables or a stand and while doing this you also get a free 2 year warranty with the monitor as well. If you want to get into OLED gaming for fairly cheap this is THE monitor I recommend to anyone and everyone! Everything about this monitor is amazing and paired with an HDMI switch you can really turn this little monitor into an all in one gaming and tv viewing machine. The settings are perfect out of the box and since the screen is smaller it’s hard to see any antialiasing or imperfections in the games or movies themselves. My son will update any changes in image retention or burn in but so far it has been 100% reliable and he says it just might turn into his main console gaming monitor from now on. Thank you KKSmart for making such an excellent product at such an affordable price, this monitor has such an excellent picture quality and such a perfect build quality I could see this going for at least $500 if it was a different brand name.

> 24 hourI bought this to easily take to my friends house if we want to play MLB The Show online together in the same room. Boy oh boy did this blow away my expectations. First, its BRIGHT. The colors pop like you wouldnt believe! Its 1080p, but at this size its perfectly fine. The refresh rate is 60hz so its not going to replace your 144+ screens. Calibrate your expectations with this. Its an ultra lightweight tablet form monitor which accepts input over HDMI and USB-C. Its powered by a USB port. Its bright as all hell and crystal clear. Responsive as any other monitor Ive used. Zero ghosting as well. I seen someone mention the speakers sounding tinny. Sure, they do. I didnt expect them to blow me away and honestly, I was floored when I realized it even had speakers! Its an extremely good nice to have. All in all, if youre looking for a monitor that is: - Thin and extremely lightweight - Bright and crystal clear - Has sound (even if its thin) - Can be powered off of almost anything with a USB port - Super small space footprint on your desk/table. You cannot go wrong buying this!

> 24 hourColor The color is rich. However, its not exactly like my MacBook Pro, but close. The portable monitor is just a tad bluer / cooler. The darks are really dark (OLED) which adds a second level of depth to the screen. Id feel comfortable doing color accurate work on this monitor. I do work as a digital and print designer. Quality The screen is clear, yet a touch blurry. Again, Im comparing with my MacBook Pros 4K screen. Apples known for their amazing screen quality. Movement from video is good. I dont notice a difference from my MacBook Pro. Overall, really nice. Audio Not very good. Sounds like its in a tin can. The base is very weak too. Of course, comparing with my MacBook Pros high-quality speakers. Power The monitor conveniently powers off of my MBP with just 1 USB-C to USB-C cable. However, it uses a lot of power from my MBP. Thankfully, there is a power cable I can use to plug the external monitor into a power outlet to use that instead. USB-C Cables These cables are conveniently included! However, they are somewhat hard to plug in. So as to keep my ports from wearing out prematurely, I use a USB-C to USB-C cable of my own (Samsung brand). Also, it would be nice to have USB-C ports on both sides of the portable monitor. Ill just buy a longer cable to fix this. Ease of Use When plugging in the USB-C cable, the monitor immediately comes on. The brightness, contrast, and audio settings are easy to access and change. The portable monitor is really convenient to carry, doesnt weigh much, and comes with a basic yet protective case that also doubles as a stand. The monitor fits easily in my laptop bag. Overall I recommend this portable monitor. I really like it, not just for travel, but for using at home. I like to use the monitor for placing my design app tools on, my coding app, watching videos, Spotify, etc. Extra screen space when working or multitasking is so convenient and easily obtainable with this portable monitor.

> 24 hourI highly recommend this OLED portable monitor, I have a 13 inch and now I have a 15.6 inch OLED portable monitor. I love the picture quality of OLED screens. Ill be using this for everything, watching movies and tv, and everything else. This is 400nits not 700nits of Brightness, but dont let that discourage you, this portable monitor is plenty bright. The speakers on all portable monitors are just good quality, not great.

> 24 hourI own and love my OLED TVs. The colors are so vibrant, and the blacks so deep! So, in searching for an portable 1080p monitor I wanted to make sure I stuck with OLED. Now, after researching a shortlist of options a available on Amazon, I decided to give this brand and monitor a shot. The initial setup was straight forward. You can use the supplied accessories (power, video cables) to connect to any HDMI supported device or devices that support USB C video out. I mostly use it as a Steamdeck / Switch companion monitor and the games look amazing in 1080P with the backing of the OLED panel used here. The case was a great bonus also. It makes for a great stand and protects the screen when its not it use. The one missed check box for me is that I wish it had some kind of audio out option. The speakers are good enough for most use cases, but an option to use external speakers would have been great. Overall, I definitely recommend this monitor if your are in the market for a slim, and great looking screen. If you know how great OLED is then you wont be disappointed here.
