> 24 hourThis is a 1080p portable monitor you can travel with to have a mobile office (almost). It is light weight and you could get away with just carrying a couple extra cords (HDMI and USB to type C for power). I was surprised the case was glued to the back of the monitor. I wasnt crazy about that. The larger portable monitor I have has magnetic contacts for the case and I prefer that over glued on case. It was.just the top part that was glued but I still prefer not to have that. Otherwise the case serves its purpose for some protection and a stand for the monitor. There is also a hole in the bottom right corner that you supposedly came place a pen through to use as a stand. I didnt try it and thought if your gluing the case on, why do you need a hole? Picture quality is good and connections are easy to setup. It does have an AC adapter although you can also use the laptops power to power the monitor using the USB A to USB C cord. This way you only need to plug in the laptop. If you use it for some entertainment and play a video or movie, the speakers are on the side and not that powerful. Youll hear alright but its not going to blow you away. Ill mainly use it for productivity as my work is easier done using dual screens and even then a third screen comes in handy at times! When I am not using it, my son likes using it with his Chromebook, perhaps because its a slightly larger screen?

> 24 hourIve been wanting to upgrade my current portable monitor. Its an older model without high definition and lower resolution than my current laptop. I saw this one and jumped on it! This monitor comes in a very nice padded box. Once you remove the actual device, theres another box inside that contains the three cables that comes with it. A quick start guide for various set-up scenarios is also included. A portfolio type cover is attached to the monitor and should provide enough protection should you decide to carry just the monitor without the box. Its very similar to the cover I have on my iPad that also doubles as stand. There are grooves in the cover that you can rest the edge of monitor in when using it as a stand, but you need to remember to fold the front back one more time to make sure it stays put. There is no power button, which I thought was a little strange. The instructions say that the monitor will come on automatically whenever it is plugged into a power source (by using either the included wall adapter or the USB C port on your computer). They provided three cables and a wall charger that provides for a number of different connection scenarios. Although I have a USB C port on my laptop, I chose to use the wall adapter for power so my USB C port would still be available for my other devices. So I selected the cable with a USB C connector at one end and a USB A at the other. After I unwrapped this cable,it became very obvious to me that it was pretty much useless for this purpose as it was only about 3 feet long! I cant think of any setup where I have a power source within 3 feet of my laptop! The fact that I had to get up and hunt around for a long USB C cable to use as a power cable for this monitor aggravated the heck out of me. Luckily I had one that I ordered to charge my cell phone, and it was long enough to reach from my table to the wall adapter. I then used the provided HDMI to mini HDMI video cable and hooked it up to my laptop. Just as they said, the monitor came to life, and I was instantly back in love again. The resolution and color display matched my laptop, the picture was clear and I experienced absolutely zero issues while I was using it. I did note that the monitor had speakers located on both sides but I didnt have the sound on when I tested the monitor, so I cant speak to the quality. But I did note that the monitor has been designed to allow for a variety of configurations for a number of different devices, all outlined in the Quick Start Guide. Its a very nice product and I love it. So why not a five star rating? For one, I had to find and use my own USB C cable to connect to a power source. I was lucky to have one on hand. The manufacturer should have included a much longer cable with the monitor. And secondly, I dont like that there is no power button. Theres something about expecting a device to be powered on by just plugging in a cable that I am not comfortable with. And the same goes to shutting it down. I had to physically disconnect the cables to shut the monitor down when I had finished using it. Maybe its just me, but I didnt like it. Other than that - its really an awesome portable monitor. Its thin enough even with the protective cover means that I can carry it in my backpack with my laptop, so I have it where I go. Extremely convenient! Aside from the small annoyances I experienced, I can highly recommend this product to anyone in the market for a portable monitor, assuming it holds up with use. If it doesnt, I will come back and change my review.

> 24 hourI am thoroughly impressed with the display, it is larger then my laptop screen and connecting using a USB-C port was a breeze, I was able to power it using my laptops battery. this is a huge upgrade for working remote. Comes with a nice padded cover for the screen as well, using the cover creates a nice stand that can be adjusted at many angles. It came with USB -A to USB-C cable as well for charging using the supplied wall wart, a Mini HDMI cable also, no need if you use the USB-C to USB-C cable provided.

> 24 hourI initially bought both of there’s to use as a wall mount for more desk room instead of my laptop on top. Get picture and all cables included. The only thing I didn’t quite like was the included stand was double sided taped on so I needed to remove that in order to mount them. The holes also are closer together than a standard monitor, so I needed to modify the brackets to be able to mount them.

> 24 hourTheyre some things I love and dislike about this portable monitor. Pros: -Its portable and lightweight -Great as a second screen for streaming -It has great viewing angles -Its afordable -Nice picture quality -It auto turns on/off -It comes with integrated speakers Cons: -Cover/Stand is none removable -Provided cables are too short for most uses -It uses mini HDMI instead of regular HDMI -Cables stick out in an awkward position and they can be a bother sometimes. Overall: I like this portable screen for what Im using it for, helps alot as a second screen for streaming and comes in really handy.

> 24 hourI wouldn’t call this a gaming monitor. It’s standard HD with 60Hz refresh rate. Also, I’m not sure what makes the case “smart” as they advertise. And this is not touchscreen as one of the pictures suggest. Despite some of the annoyances I have with the product description, I’m going to try to keep this review about the product itself. PROS: The product is great, and just what I needed! I travel for work and wanted a portable monitor to use with my work laptop and personal laptop when I’m in hotels. I love that you can just plug in one USB-C cable between the laptop and this monitor and you’re done! There’s no power button or anything else to worry about. It just boots up instantly and starts mirroring or extending your display depending on how you have it set up on your laptop. The foldable case/cover works well for propping the screen up at a good angle and it doesn’t slip. It’s very light too. I appreciated that it came with several types of connection cables and even a power adapter if you need to power it externally. It has built in speakers as well. CONS: The built in speakers are terrible. It is nice that they are there I guess, but if my laptop speakers didn’t work for some reason, I would grab my headphones before I’d use the built in speakers. I feel like they could have just left them out and lowered the price point a little bit. Also, the power adapter cord is 3ft long. While the typical hotel room I’ll be using this in usually has a lamp or built in table top USB power port, I imagine the short cord length will really bother some people. I intend to just power this from my laptop USB-C port though, so it’s a non-issue for me. Overall, I definitely recommend this product.

> 24 hourIt’s a nice little monitor that’s ultra portable, and has a nice clear screen. The settings are a little hard to navigate, and there is a bit of input lag for a monitor that’s advertised as a gaming monitor, but it’s not terrible. You’ll get by fine as long as you’re not trying to play competitive FPS games. Overall it’s a nice little portable monitor.

> 24 hourNeeding something for some teaching that I was doing and my 13 MacPro wasnt enough of a screen for sharing. This is a nice size and works really well with my MacPro. Very portable and easy to use. I really like the cover.

> 24 hourThis OUNSHLI Portable Monitor 16.1 Inch 100% sRGB Full HD 1080P Dual Computer Gaming Monitor comes with a smart cover and is suppressingly lightweight. It is also reasonably priced that $130, which is very good for the size. It comes with a set of micro HDMI to HDMI cable, a usb-c to USB cable, and a USB a to USB cable, with an adapter. it is very much portable, and easy to use, with decent quality screen. With a smart cover, it looked just like a tablet, except it is a monitor. I recommend to use it as a second screen, or as a standalone monitor with a portable mini PC, and portable keyboard and mouse combo.
