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 normally do not write reviews but I love this screen. The resolution and plug and play ease of use is great. However, today, my screen suddenly stopped working! I called the help desk number, left a message and within about 30 minutes, they called back, we walked through the issues, and it is working again. I was really impressed with the kindness and level of customer service. In case your screen ever stops working, try plugging both the usb c and the hdmi cables into the laptop and screen. Both of the cords are included in the purchase. It is a great product and really makes working from home much easier.

Monitor is fantastic! Bright and clear and well worth the money. I was skeptical about purchasing a monitor for travel to extend my laptop and didn't find many options for a 18" monitor. I had purchased a different brand a couple of years ago and ended up not using it due to the size and trouble. This monitor is easy to use, just plug it into the computer, picture is crystal clear and the travel bag is perfect for taking with me on trips. Love it.

The image quality was so impressive for this portable monitor that I ended up buying a second one, so I can have a four monitor system at home or a three monitor system when I'm on my laptop. And the setup couldn't be easier: you literally just plug the monitors into your computer ports and go. Highly recommend!

In my entire life, this was the best electronic product I've ever purchased. I don't usually leave reviews but I'm this satisfied thanks for developing such a great product and providing such a great service.

Works as expected. Nice built and good quality. An ideal item for traveling and working. Sound quality can improve a bit but that doesn't bother me too much. Good value for the money.

Used the monitor at work for a week and not found any issues so far. It works great with my mac, windows and Iphone 16 pro via usb c cable. The package included HDMI, 2 usb-c cables, power adapter and a travel case.This is my second monitor. I initially purchased the 18” 2K 16:10 model from another seller but turned out 2K is too large resolution for an 18” screen and my mac didn’t have an option to lower resolution without distorting the image, so I had to return that one.So if you choosing between 1080p and 2k models I can recommend this 1080p model form upperizon

item is working perfectly by connecting it via 1 USB-C cable directly to my laptop. no additional cables are needed to power it and use as a second monitor. the size is great and works as expected.
