Portable Monitor 18.5 inch 1080P FHD 100Hz 125% sRGB HDMI USB-C Large Portable Monitor for Laptop MacBook Xbox PS4/5, Travel Monitor with Kickstand, VESA Compatible

I travel a lot for both work and personal reasons, so a pair of 15.6 inch portable monitors have become an essential part of my gear. They are light, thin, and easy to pack and go. Although they’re perfect for traveling, I sometimes wish there was a slightly larger option, especially for coding or video editing.Upperizon recently introduced an 18.5 inch portable monitor which I decided to try. Long story short, it hits the sweet spot of portability and usability. I’ll list those points as pros and cons as it applies to my specific usage profile. For reference, my daily driver platforms are MacOS (14 inch MBP M2), iPadOS (12.9 inch M2 iPad Pro), and Linux server and desktop (Ubuntu 22.04 LTS).Pros:Usability:- Very thin and light-weight- Bright display- Fully adjustable controls controls for color, refresh, brightness and volume- 100 MHz refresh rate - suitable for light gaming- High Dynamic Range (HDR) - This is really impressive!- Built-in speaker- Auxiliary Audio connection- Powers device through the monitor- Detailed instruction manual covering popular devices- Built-in adjustable stand for landscape display- Landscape or portrait orientation Portability:- Included padded protective carrying case- All cables and 30 watt power adapter included- Fits perfectly inside standard roller boardCons: (No show-stoppers, though)- Dimensions are too long to fit into the average backpack (fits in a large mouth backpack like a Chrome roll top backpack)- Side control buttons are a bit too recessed and hard to access, especially if you have long fingernails- Built-in audio:- Not very loud at all, which is honestly expected, given the dimensions of the monitor. It’s good if it’s the only option available, like a RaspberryPi for example.- Auxiliary port located on the recessed edge is too close to the back of the monitor and some plugs with thick bodies might not fit.- Sound output from the auxiliary port is good if you’re connecting it to a powered external speaker like a JBL Flip or Anker portable speaker, or headphones.Other observations and honorable mentions:- YouTube and Netflix videos display in full-screen mode with no problem- 75 mm VESA mounting holes (75 mm square) on back base- Two USB-C (power and video) and one full-size HDMI port- Light Gaming: On iPadPro if used in Extend mode, there is a slight delay in fast action- Works best if HDR is on AND the display is in Mirror Mode- In Mirror-mode, gaming is identical in response to the iPadPro display- Rotation works fine with MacBook Pro- iPadPro on some docking stations may not support rotation, but works if directly connected to the monitor via USB-CUser Experience:- It’s light enough to take it to the office, library, coffee shop, etc. in its included padded case- The display is large enough for just about any task such as internet research, light video editing, programming, or watching Netflix and YouTube videos- Since it fits perfectly in a standard roller-board you could easily take this as carry-on luggage for air travel, and use while on long layovers.- Although the included carrying case has a zippered compartment, I would shy away from putting anything in there that might cause stress on the screen.

I bought this as a second monitor for my laptop. 2 monitors makes many things much easier.The packaging was my first indication of quality. Neat, compact and properly protected. Someone gave this some serious thought. Two USB cables and an HDMI were included, along with a power adapter. The carrying case has a nice look to it.The set up was ease and only took a minute to complete. The kickstand is firm enough to support any monitor position, yet easy to manuver. The cable hookups completely plug and play. I was impressed with the simplicity and speed.The color difference in the photo is mostly due to the camera, side by side the colors are almost identical.I was happy for all of this to work out without a hitch.I certainly recommend this monitor.

This screen is exactly what I wanted! It’s small enough and lightweight enough to travel with but large enough to feel like I’m seeing everything well. And the screen is so vivid and clear! Now I can have two screens when working remotely. I also love that the screen charges my Mac laptop when they’re connected so I don’t need to worry about packing an extra charger. Just a heads up, this won’t fit in an average backpack but works well in my tall, work backpack that has a roll down top.

These monitors are great! Nice and thin. Comes with good quality cables. When I am not at my desk using my docking station, I use it with my laptop as the primary monitor as the resolution and brightness is much better than my Toughbook FZ55 monitor. I use this with a single USB-C cable (Included). It doesn't require a power supply when I use it like this. Has a flip out stand that lets you slide it over the laptop screen. It also works great as a second monitor.I also use it my DJI Agras T50 drone controller to be able to map out flight paths better. With this I use the HDMI (included) cable along with a USB-C charging cable (also included).

I’m working and traveling and brining my gigantic 27inch monitor with me that’s weighing down my luggage. I decided I needed a solution.Although it’s no where near 27inches this was still a great solution and large enough for my needs. It also came with an abundance of high quality cables and a travel case that quite sturdy as well. I lowered my luggage weight by almost 20 pounds! This is be barely A POUND and super portable. Luggage, bookbag, or by hand because the case has a handle. The quality is great, it’s very clear and I never had a problem playing high resolution videos.

It’s sturdier than expected, so that’s a plus. Doesn’t take much juice to power it, my iPad Pro and MacBook Air had no problem supplying enough juice, but it needed external power for my iPhone 15 Pro Max.It’s perfectly fine for what I need for work (programming) and works great for my 3 monitor setup (MacBook + iPad). The color accuracy is pretty bad, its whites aren’t very white and there’s only so much fine tuning you can do in the settings.It’s not good in bright environments, and though I haven’t tried myself, I don’t think it will suffice in the backseat of a car. But you may want to close the shades when indoors during peak sunshine.I do notice the higher frame rates, as it’s actually better than my MacBook, but not as good as my iPad Pro. So it’s decent for gaming, I have it plugged into a PS5 and it looks pretty good. Even in movies, you don’t notice the color issues that much except for extreme dark and extreme light. Bright solid colors, like a file explorer or a white website, just doesn’t look good. It bugs me when I see it, so I try to avoid those situations, usually by moving bright windows to a different display.TLDR;The build quality exceeded my initial expectations, which was a low bar. But the colors, especially the whites, are a disappointment.
