I love this thing. I bought a few portable monitors at varying price ranges and compared them all. This was the winner! Here's why:
Pros:
- Screen gets VERY bright (brighter than Lepow competitor, I compared head to head)
- Screen quality is very high, looks identical to my 2020 MacBook Pro screen
- 15.6" is very large but also a portable size, its the same size as my laptop so traveling with both is easy
- Very affordable. I looked at competitors $400+ and aside from the random brand name, there are no benefits to higher priced models.
- Very easy setup. Plug in and it's ready.
- Comes with 3 types of cables so you can use whatever port your computer has. It only requires one cable to work.
- Monitor does NOT require it's own power source. My usual set up is just my laptop, USB-C connector to the monitor, and sometimes my laptop charger.
- Price (again) because I use this as a travel monitor, I didn't want to buy anything super expensive in case I lose it or leave it somewhere, so this is affordable enough that if it gets lost, it's not the end of the world.
- Prop stand is VERY low profile and does not take up a lot of table space like others. It's a kickstand rather than an L-shape like many others.
Cons:
- Chews up Laptop battery (when laptop is not charging)
- Cover/stand can slip off. BUT I fixed this with Velcro command strips connecting monitor to the cover and it doesn't budge now.

Dead Pixels - Otherwise great looking screen.
I've been looking for portable monitors for quite a while. I decided to buy this because of the great reviews. I was thoroughly impressed by the build quality and minimal design. I wish I could've kept my screen but I had to return it because both the screens I got had dead pixels. I'm not sure if it's caused by shipping or their packaging but I'm really bummed that I had to return it. I can usually look past 1 or 3 dead pixels but this was just distracting and I couldn't get past it. I may try it again in the future but for now I'm going to look at other brands.
