> 3 dayColor 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.

15-11-2024I have been trying to find the right OLED monitor to pair with the steamdeck and this is the one for me. You dont need to spend 3 times as much to get a good quality screen. I have literally tried 3 others and returned them. This one hits the sweet spot for me and love the build, stand, and how everything was packaged. Excellent product!

> 3 dayDisplay is top notch. Even great for gaming too. The only real downside to this monitor is that is lacks a auxiliary port to hook up headphones/external speakers, and the built in speakers arent the best. However, they do get the job done. But, considering there are workarounds using products like an HDMI audio extractor, its not too bad that it doesnt have an audio jack built in. Overall, its a pretty good monitor. Edit: I originally gave it 4 stars....but with customer service as awesome as theirs, there is no way I couldnt upgrade it to 5 stars. If you want great customer service when you buy a product, then this is the company your looking for.

> 3 dayThe value for what you’re getting is unrivaled. This Oled display can be absurdly brightly and looks practically indistinguishable from 4k at this screen size. It can also be powered and displayed just by one cable

Greater than one weekI bought this portable monitor as the extending screen of my laptop. It fully met my expectation of being lightweight, ease of setup and high quality of color. The OLED screen performs more nature rendering and has more power-saving in my opinion; without plug-in power my laptop can work with this monitor for about 4 hours; not to mention that at this price it’s actually an amazing offer from KKSmart - a trusted brand of mine. The only thing I felt wrong is, I should buy a touchscreen model!

> 3 dayPros -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.

> 3 dayThis is an amazing portable monitor it being OLED means there isnt any display technology that can be much better, with OLED you are at the top of the chain. I love this thing I got it for when I travel and it looks amazing with the PS5 this has true blacks and very bright at 700 nits peek brightness the HDR just makes all the colors pop, its a smooth and steady 60fps when gaming and even though I got this for going to moms or hotels or else where when I travel I have even been using it right on my coffee table. I have a great gaming TV I bought the Hisense 55 inch U7G and it is an awesome TV for gaming due to 1000 nits peek brightness it makes the HDR POP and 4k @ 120hz so I usually game on that but since I got this I find myself using it more than my TV just cuz its OLED I may have to get an OLED TV now lol, this portable display looks and runs flawlessly I have told everyone in my Discord community about it they all want one now lol. And at the price I got it for on sale at $208 Im pretty sure you cant find an OLED display at that price point cuz I have shopped around this is such a good deal they also include 2 USB type C to USB type C cables and a USB type C to USB type A and a HDMI to mini HDMI and a power brick so you will have everything in the box it was packed very well nice box no damage with shipping and it shipped very fast. So I highly recommend this if you really want an OLED display and dont want to break the bank and spend $1500 on a TV this is so nice and at almost 16 inches it is not small just right so do yourself a favor and just get it you will not regret it. Also there is a small card inside with the display that says you can get a free gift like cables and laptop sleeves and one of the items you can choose from is a monitor stand and emailed them and said I would like the stand and they emailed back within 24 hours and said no problem they shipped it right out and I got it in a few days and its not a cheap stand its a good stiff one Im so happy with my purchase and you will be also so go get one.

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayMy 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.
