So far, so very good
Highlights: * crisp image; * accurate touch; * 16:10 aspect ratio; * touch functionality worked with minimal fuss on MacOS I use this monitor in a music production home studio, where I mounted it on VESA-compatible arm*, hovering over a MIDI controller. I connect it to a Mac Studio and use touch to control Logic Pro, plug-ins and AxeEdit III. It works really well for this application. I am able to adjust plug-in and AxeFX parameters with simply a touch and without much fuss. And the vTouch suite seems sufficiently powerful for me to add a couple of quality of life improvements (e.g. multi-finger gestures for VESA Mounting: because this is a portable monitor, it doesn't have VESA mounting facilities. The portable cover is cool, and I didn't want to lose this functionality, so I just used some adhesive metal plates and mounted neodymium magnets the VESA receiver bracket. Mags are strong and monitor is light enough to make this a sufficiently sturdy solution.

Used for video games - N. Switch (primarily)
Note: I have NOT tried out the touch-screen functionality of the unit, nor have I tried it with multiple devices. So this review is based solely on my one intended use - video games. My life is very busy so I do not have the hours of time to invest in video games as I did when I was a younger man. My favorite console is the N. Switch, which I usually play in the evenings while watching TV in the background. As I’ve reached middle-age, my eyes aren’t what they used to be and I do wish the Switch’s screen was bigger and this is the solution I decided upon. There were cheaper alternatives from Chinese-branded companies but I wanted to stick with a brand I know and trusted (even though it was probably made there as well). The build quality is very good and the unit is solid. The menu has many visual adjustment options so I’m quite certain you’ll be able to optimize the view for your desired needs. It has built-in stereo speakers in the rear but I use always headphones. Btw, the headphone amplifier is much more powerful than the Switch’s. Note: This unit will NOT function as a touch-screen for the Switch but it is supposed to do so for PC. I’ve not tried it for an iPhone but there are adapters that will allow you to output the video of the iPhone/iPad to an external device so that might prove an interesting possibility! The device can be rotated 90* for a Portrait setup vs Landscape but again, that would be controlled by your PC, meaning, if I rotate the unit, it will not auto-rotate the source material like a smart phone will. It includes a magnetically-attached protective cover and the built-in “kickstand” is solid, very adjustable and highly functional. This is one of those purchases that made me say, “Oh man! I should have done this long ago!” It requires power. It does not have an internal battery. A USB-C adapter is included. It can also be powered by the video source (PC, phone, etc.) but that source must be able to provide a certain amount of watts, otherwise, the Display will lower the Brightness level to minimum. Negatives? The only two I can think of is that the menu structure, while well laid out, will take you a little time to get used to, and around the area of the menu button (bottom-right behind the screen) may cause an uneven backlighting effect due to the pressure involved in frequently accessing the menu - volume control for instance. However, 99% of the time, we never focus on an extreme corner of a display so even if it does develop an uneven lighting there, it will prove mostly unimportant in normal use. In short, if you think this might prove useful/helpful to you, I do not believe you’ll be disappointed and you may be VERY happy with this purchase as I am!

Works very well as it advertises. We like it very much.
I just bought on On Thanksgiving. I received it on 11/29. I have being using it since then. It works very well as it advertises on Amazon. Great quality. Sharp display and color is very nice to us. 10 points screen gesture works for computer very well, but not for cell phone 15. It has 2 speaker. OK sound quality. But, this helps lot when we connect it to our Iphone 15.

Great Display Quality, but Connectivity Can Be Frustrating
The screen quality on this portable monitor is very good once it connects — clear 1080p resolution and solid color performance. However, getting it to connect consistently can be frustrating. I often have to unplug and reinsert cables multiple times before it works, which feels unpredictable. This becomes especially stressful when presenting to a team. The built-in stand works but could be sturdier. Overall, good display performance, but connectivity reliability needs improvement. It is easily portable, and its thickness is reasonable. I can include it in my business bag without much problem.

Touchscreen for a Mac
I've used this with my MacBook, and with my Mac Mini. Provides touch screen access to a Mac, but you do need to load a driver for that. Nice, bright, clear screen. More than a little pricey, but I am getting my money's worth out of it.

AVOID This Monitor! Absolutely avoid this Seller
I purchased this monitor in mid-December 2021 anticipating a need I would have in January 2022. It seemed to be a great little monitor that worked well when I plugged it in. The touch screen feature was fantastic and the ease of connection to my laptop was a bonus. Because my anticipated need changed I ended up only using the monitor only about 5 times between January 2022 and April 2024. Suddenly it would not connect. It constantly said "no signal" and would immediately disconnect from my laptop. It was unusable. I purchased new cables hoping that would fix the problem and had no luck. So, after only 2 years...but really only about 5 or 6 uses (which makes the monitor essentially new) it no longer works. I contacted the seller to ask for some help and I received a cut-n-paste canned answer that the return window of 30 days closed. Basically I was told "not our problem, go away". I did not exactly expect a full refund or replacement, but they didn’t even offer a link to the owners manual, a 20% discount if I purchased another one, or do anything helpful. This is $300 completely wasted. Even if I used the monitor daily it should last longer than 2 years!

Compact and portable, for a great cost
The resolution on this screen is excellent, and it has a menu to adjust the screen size, magnification, brightness and color. Definitely recommend this for anyone who works while traveling.

Impsosible d'être satisfait, l'écran ne semble pas fonctionner en sortie hdmi + usb a + usb c ( tout a bien ete fait, cable branché dans l'ordre indiqué, utilisations des cables fournis etc ...) l'ecran ne se connecte simple pas, pourtant lorsque c'est sur un pc portable via cable usb avec dp en alt mode la ça fonctionne mais c'est pas un port present sur les pc fixe a moins d'acheter une carte mere specifique ... bref, au vu des commentaire ça a l'air d'etre un peu la loterie cet ecran, pourant la qualité est cool ... quand ça marche

Es un monitor pequeño y si eso estás buscando, como yo, es perfecto, no estorba, no pesa no causa problemas de acomodo ni de transporte. No funciona con iOS de iphone, con android sí, es algo que ya me esperaba... Al convertirse en táctil al conectarlo a una pc debes instalar ciertos drivers y conectar otro cable, digo esto porque yo me asusté pensando que compré la versión no touch y resulta que solo era necesario eso. Al conectar esos cables extra se convierte ahora sí en algo más estorboso pero tampoco nada exagerado. Tiene un stylus o lapiz bastante rústico que bien podría mejorarse pero como yo no planeaba dibujar ni nada que demandase algo más allá de navegar por el sistema operativo me resulta suficiente. Al conectar este monitor como monitor secundario en una pc, el touch no sirve, necesita ser el monitor principal y eso a veces causa pequeños problemitas, aunque nada de real cuidado. Tiene una patita trasera que sirve bastante bien, permite varias posiciones de acomodo, no parece ser muy resistente y a veces me da la impresión que no durará mucho, los ángulos que se logra con dicha patita no son tampoco muy variados pero son suficientes para lo que se requiera. Los colores del monitor, creo que es su lado más débil... son colores muy opacos, saturando todo y moviéndole mucho a los parámetros se logra algo decente, pero si es un punto malo, si lo buscas para algo de edición no creo que sea lo mejor. El menú o sistema operativo interno del monitor es bastante común, se maneja bien, solo hay que agarrarle el modo. Es un buen monitor secundario, es muy portátil, es una excelente compra, lo recomiendo bastante!

I wanted a single USB-C cable to provide everything: power, video and touch. However, the only way I could get all three working with my Lenovo ThinkPad running Linux Mint was by connecting all 3 cables. I sent it back and will be purchasing Lenovos own portable display!
