ARZOPAPortable Monitor 15.6'' FHD 1080P - Ultra-Slim Portable Laptop Monitor with Kickstand - IPS Display for PC, MAC, Phone, Xbox, PS5 - USB C & HDMI Connectivity - A1

For a portable monitor, it has a good picture of what you are displaying with an above average color presentation (once you get the settings adjusted). I appreciate having the folio to help protect the screen when not in use and able to use as a stand, however there are only a few angles available and the magnets are not as secure as they could be. However, minor aspects to not need another stand for the monitor or a plastic piece that would break off eventually. I believe this was good value for the money having a wide angle screen.Used successfully with: MacBook Air 15", iPad, Nintendo SwitchA few drawbacks of this monitor:-The ports are on the left side of the device, but using a MacBook Air with the ports also on the left side, the wires must go behind one of the devices.-The included cable could be 6-12" longer for ease of use.-The folio case doesn't has as strong as magnets and might shift if bumped. Limited viewing angles on the folio stand. Watch out for fingerprints on the screen.Things of note:-The monitor is longer than a 15" MacBook Air, so won't easily fit in the same case if it fits snug.- HDMI connection will still require a cable for power via USB-C or USB-A to USB-C. Plug either into your computer or wall plug.-It has speakers, not high quality, but an option if you need it.Advantages:- You really can connect anything with USB-C or HDMI display capabilities. Computer/tablet, Gaming System (used Switch), or another media player.- Mobile unit, so you can enhance your workflow wherever you go.- Quick, easy to set up and connect to any device.

UPDATE 11/04/2023:After buying this monitor in April and using it HEAVILY - like, for 5+ hours every single day, carrying it with me everywhere from home to school to work - the monitor still works fantastic! I love this thing! It actually outlived the laptop I bought to use it with, lol (that laptop's hinge eventually broke).Given that my laptop died and this monitor didn't, I actually used this monitor along with the Dex mode on my Samsung phone as the ONLY "computer" I had access to either at work or at home for a little over a month. That solution was good enough for me to at least complete some basic research during that time, as well as completely re-writing my resume to an entirely new format, so the monitor saved me a month of lost productivity!My only recommendation is to buy a better high-end USB-C to USB-C cable if you plan to use this monitor extensively. I still use the USB-C cable included with this monitor to charge my phone - it's powerful enough to activate my Samsung's "Super Fast Charging Mode." But I now prefer to use this cable (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Y874X96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to connect my monitor to my PC, as it's a little thicker and less likely to be jostled.Nonetheless, I can't complain at all - my $1400 smartphone came with an even worse, and much shorter, USB-C cable, so I think 3rd-party USB cables are the way to go for all electronics now days. ORIGINAL REVIEW FOLLOWS:I love this little monitor! It's VERY light (lighter than my S23 Ultra!), and the case it comes in is cute, protective, feels good to hold (with a leather texture for better grip), and most importantly, does a good job holding up the screen when it's in use in landscape mode. I've never had the screen fall down on its own. The case also comes off fairly easily if you want to do that intentionally (just push it to the side so the magnets lose their grip).The screen is much thinner and lighter than I was expecting, which is great, because it's so thin it actually fits right inside my laptop bag along with my laptop, as you can see in the second image I uploaded. On the left is my laptop, on the right is the monitor.It's actually basically the exact same size as my HP Envy 360 15.6" screen, so it's quick and easy to look back and forth between the monitors. All I need to unfold a complete workstation on the go is the included USB-C cable - that cable both powers the monitor and conveys the image signal. Importantly, however, do NOT lose this cable, as no other USB-C cable I own, even my nicer ones, seems to be able to replicate the trick of carrying the power and image simultaneously. I marked the cable with some orange duct tape so I don't mistake it for my other USB-C to C cables.What's really cool is this monitor can actually work with my Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, immediately putting the phone into Dex mode, allowing me to basically replicate a workstation experience entirely off of my phone! Make sure if you do this, however, to plug a USB-C power cable into the second USB-C port of the monitor, as this will actually then begin to send power to your phone, charging it; otherwise, I tested it with Ampere, and running the monitor unpowered from your phone increases my S23 Ultra's power consumption from -320 mAh, meaning my phone should theoretically last for 15 hours on a full charge, to about 1000 mAh, meaning it would die in a little under 5 hours running the external monitor. When I connect my Samsung fast charger (which charges my S23 at a blistering 4,500-5,200 mAh) to the monitor when the monitor is plugged into my phone's USB-C port, my phone charges at a very fast 2,400 mAh - not as good as my special-made fast charger, but actually much, much faster than most cheap store-brand chargers, which I was honestly not expecting! So that's cool!The sound on this monitor is louder than my phone, but quieter than my laptop; nonetheless, it's not a portable speaker, if you care about audio get a Bluetooth speaker or headphones. The monitor is easily bright enough to read comfortably in a room where I'm getting direct sunlight, but I'm not sure how it would be trying to read it in, like, direct sunlight standing in a field or something unusual like that. (Then again, basically every electronic device I've owned, especially my Switch, has eaten dirt in that exact scenario).When I first got the monitor, I actually messed with the color settings considerably, then eventually realized I'd actually made it worse and returned it to the defaults, which are fairly true!I don't think I'd want to use this monitor as a dedicated monitor for trying to, like, play a graphics-intensive first-person shooter or the like, but for casual gaming, video streaming, and my intended use, as an office computer, it's great! With the addition of only a few extra ounces to my laptop bag, I now have a second monitor I can use to play Udemy videos fullscreen while I have an IDE or note-taking software open full screen on my laptop, which has increased my productivity considerably. And if I don't need to run an IDE and think I'll just be doing basic MS Office tasks for the day, I can ditch my laptop entirely and use the AZORPA monitor along with my Samsung Galaxy S23U and a bluetooth mouse + keyboard (or a 2.4ghz mouse/keyboard plugged into a USB hub) as my entire computer workstation!All in all, I honestly never even knew portable monitors had gotten to be this good, this cheap. If I had, I'd have bought one earlier! I'm honestly considering getting a second, so I can go full 1980s Hackerman in a Starbucks with a triple-screen setup, lol.All in all, very satisfied with my purchase, at least after 1 month of daily usage and carrying the screen around in a laptop bag!

I am extremely impressed with this monitor. I must admit I was skeptical at first, it being relatievly inexpensive. For my needs 60Hz is is more than adequate for daily use and even gaming. The build quality is outstanding, the panel is very bright, brighter than the laptop I have it connexted to!Easy to set up, plug and play and thats it! I have an older laptop that didnt supply a picture through the USB-A to USB-C conversion, so I am using the supplied HDMI cable and a USB-A to C for power. Luckily three cables are supplied, quality cables complete with plastic caps (classy). So if you are getting power but no picture, this info might help.I have only one regret, something you may want to consider:I wish I had gotten the A1 instead of the S1-Table. I thought that having a cover which is used as a stand was the way to go. I guess if you will be using this on the go, mainly traveling with it VERY often, it makes sense. But the cover does not allow for viewing angle adjustments.The kickstand on the comparable A1 (and the other higher end models) is adjustable. If you will not be using it as an on the go monitor, opt for the kickstand verions. They dont come with a cover though. The majority of us will place this monitor on a desk, and leave it there connected to a laptop or pc and never need to disconnect it, so the cover doesnt make sense as it needs to be used as the stand for it instead of a cover.Not being in my budget to order another one for my main desktop use, I regret not ordering one with the kickstand. Dont make my mistake, think of how you will be using itThats my ONLY regret with this purchase!
