What are the best portable monitors to buy in 2018? What is the difference between “portable monitor” and “USB-powered monitors”? Below we will answer all those questions and share with you some useful information which will help you to make a right choice. Would anyone be able to propose me some great usb controlled portable monitor for day by day use? I have been utilizing ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC 15.6-Inch 1080p IPS Monitor for a significant long time however now thinking for a change.
I'm a current student of 3D arts and computer animation. I am currently using two monitors for my projects but I felt like I should get another one as a third monitor. I'm traveling around all the time and I also having some sort of portable external monitor like this would be a big plus. So I bought this Asus Mb168B as my birthday present.
I have tested this device on both 3.0 USB and non 3.0 and I felt no difference at all. It's really HD. I had NO PROBLEM WITH THE COVER AT ALL.
By the way, I have made a video tutorial about how to use the case for this External monitor right here. I don't understand these many people giving bad reviews about this cover/stand. I think it's kind lame. Even if you read the manual, it's gonna. There are some more in depth reviews already, so I will keep this short and sweet. I purchased the previous version of AOC's usb monitor, and I was a bit disappointed with the lack of a few features.
Well this version surpassed my expectations. Why this monitor rocks: 1. USB 3.0 / Nice crisp image, pretty darn good quality for a monitor powered off of ONE usb port. (I don't know what people saying the quality is bad were expecting out of a monitor powered off of a single USB port) 2. Auto rotate / Monitor software - Auto rotate to portrait to landscape and vise versa.is a cool feature.
You can do a lot from the monitor's system tray icon - update to the latest monitor driver, change brightness (YES), and a few other tweaks. Slimmer, comes with nice carrying sleeve 4. I'm in the US navy currently stationed in Romania and I bought this product because I wanted a portable gaming screen for my PS4. I am Extremely satisfied with this product. It is extremely portable obviously and the fact that it is powered by USB is awesome. The picture quality is crisp and the speakers are decently loud. I bought this instead of the gaems for two reasons, a speaker and 1080P resolution and I'm glad I made the right choice for $40 more.
My only gripe with the product is my screen came with one pixel about the size of a needle point is constantly red. When you're playing games you can't notice. I only noticed it when the screen was black. Overall it's an amazing product that I would recommend.

HP really stepped up their game. This is a great stylish monitor for $99 dollars!
I'm using this as my secondary monitor with my 21' iMac. I am a web developer so having this extra monitor allows me to work on my main screen while viewing the pages on the HP. In order for the screen to align with the iMac, I used a plastic organizer shelf and flipped it upside down and placed the HP monitor on top of it. The HP screen is at it's brightest setting but does not match well with the iMac so I toned down the brightness on the iMac. Overall the monitor is great. No dead pixels, the texts are very sharp.
It came well packaged and easy to set up (no screws necessary). I bought 2 of this monitor! One for my coworker and he loves it as well!! It took me a long time to decide to buy this monitor because of the hefty price but I am very glad that I did! I spend hours at work in a parked vehicle and have been killing the time playing games on a tablet.
I got the idea to try to connect my Xbox One to the tablet and quickly found out that it is impossible without alot of technical blah blah (rooting, installing proper video codecs, buying a new tablet with a hdmi input feature to begin with.) I didn't want to deal with that. I decided to go with this monitor by GeChic (a name more befitting a luxury purse line than electronics) for the simplicity.
When I first plugged it in, I was like ok, this is cool, its working. Then I noticed my Xbox was set to 720 output. Nope, not what I wanted. I have it paired with a Microsoft Surface Pro2. Screen size is comparable but the resolution on the DoubleSight is a step down from the SP2 so I had to set both screens below the max I was used to on the SP2 alone.
It took a while to get the resolution optimized between the two. The DS is a touch screen but doesn't provide all the functions I expected. So the PS2 and DS screens together provide a portable dual screen experience but with limitations mostly due to the lower resolution. The screen is lightweight and fits easily in the small bag I use for my PS2 including the fold up stand. It's adequate for my purposes but if I were shopping again, I'd see if there was a better resolution match with my PS2 screen. The GeChic 1303 is a premium product that satisfies the needs of individuals who require the quasi-portable solution to mobile desktop computing. It admirably meets this requirement.
The 13.3-inch screen size strikes an excellent balance between the too small 10-inch monitor' and the 'too large 15+inch monitor. The size easily fits into my Dell computer bag.
Making this work for the constant traveler as I am is to consider the exact application of this product. If known, it is a beautiful solution to a persistent problem of current USB-powered screens. I use it as a movable desktop when I travel, even though I may lug around a laptop. Although not as handy as a laptop, the experience, I believe, surpasses the laptop. The 1303i has a bright, sharp screen that is deployed quickly with a setup time of less than 1 minute. Here are some tips on.
I do not write many reviews but since the subject I am about to talk about is no where online I feel I should help out some folks with issue they may run into. If you want to run a mini computer like an Intel Nuc the usb power from the NUC is not strong enough to support the touchscreen. It will freeze up.
You will need to purchase a 5v 2a charger so that you can plug your touchscreen in to the wall. You will still need to keep the usb to usb plugged in to keep the touch functions working. Refer to the manual for this so you do not mix up where you should plug what. GeChic was super fast to respond to my question about my screen freezing but they do not seem to realize that their 5v 2a charger is not sold in the US. This is an 8” TFT LCD display with multiple connection options (AV, VGA, BNC, and HDMI) designed to be connected to multiple devices including a back-up camera in a car, PCs, and DVD players (among others). I tested this with HDMI only on two devices – an Android TV box and a Windows 7 laptop computer.
For starters, there are no cables included with the display. This is not a demerit as it would be wasteful to include every type of cable with it given the multiple input options so you will need to provide your own cable.
For my Android box, this was the sole output device for video and I did not test audio. For the laptop PC, it was a video mirroring situation and I tested audio as well.
I just used an old HDMI to HDMI cable and it worked fine. You will need. Barely larger than a cell phone, and providing 800x480 resolution, this has all the potential to be useless. Instead, it's a high-resolution-for-the-size, responsive, easily transportable little auxiliary display.
I use a total of seven monitors (at 1920x1080 each) on my main machine, five of which are hooked up through DisplayLink connections. This is a convenient, transportable alternative for use while I'm on the road. As an earlier reviewer noted, it does take a while for this to be recognized by Windows 7, but it does eventually come up, and is quite stable thereafter. It can even show video smoothly. If they were still in stock, I'd buy a few more. Pretty good picture for the price.
Only real complaint is that there is no spec/info sheet. Since some - like I will be doing- will be using this outside of the raspberry pie. Basically USB can be a variety of voltages depending on the inverter used. So it would be nice to know the minimum and maximum volt allowed. The hdmi and mini usb could've been a little further towards center. That would/could help make it a little more compact and streamlined.
Other than that it's pretty good. Decent picture, backlight is definitely bright. This is going to be used on a custom pc build and will be a system monitoring screen running software used to control a pump, fans, temp sensors, etc. Will post pics when done. Also, I do own rpi's (many) out of the box the resolution isn't fully displayed in rpi 3.
Rpi 2 was perfect.
