one of the very few videos on youtube about portable monitors that is actually useful! thank you!

[epicinator]

This is the best portable monitor comparison video ever to be held by the internet. Thank you.

[wonderfulworld]

Thank you for not putting bunch of eye straining light noises in the background. All these tech youtubers seem to know only that one kind of decoration.

hi ! i would love if you made a updated video on your take on new screens since this one! this video was truly amazing!

I’ve sued the U-Perfect for almost 3 years now and it’s been really great all around. It won’t blow your mind or anything, but it’s very functional

Great video. Thank you. My only suggestion is to add an additional category for refresh rate. It is important for users who play games or watch sports/action movies/etc.

I bought a low cost 2nd computer with a good 14" OLED screen. It's bright, it's powered for hours on battery, the stand is great :), and hey it computes :)

Thanks! My first monitor was an orange monochrome Hercules display. I have been buying monitors for a long time. This is a whole new world with a lot of pitfalls.

For those tent style monitors where the stand doesn't go underneath, there is a cheap fix. I'm not sure what it is called. It's rubber non-slip stuff on a roll. It is meant to go on cupboard shelves and can be found in the kitchen section of Walmart or almost any dollar store. This is very handy to have around. It's good for placing under things on your desk that slide around, opening jars.... it's right up there with duct tape. And it's dirt cheap.

And MacOS users should not buy 1440P portable displays

Very useful. Can you do another one on 4K oled monitors with recommendations? Thanks

One thing that's never discussed is "can you connect them to a speaker through Bluetooth?" I'm assuming it's just not there cause it would be in the specs if it was but it would have been nice. I'm looking into a portable screen to.replace my tablet that broke but I wanted something more versatile so I can also plug my switch to and take it on the go as a second display if I need to. However I only have a jbl speaker and it sadly doesn't have a 3.5mm jack so if I were to buy one of these and since I want to use it primarily for movies and gaming sound quality is gonna be important to me to hence wanting to plug it into speakers. I guess I'll also need to buy new speakers then 😑

How long is the portable monitor life that you have used so far? 1+ year still work normally? I notice some Chinese brands did not mention the monitor's lifetime and may not have a clear warranty statement, do you suggest getting a portable monitor from a well-branded product like Asus, Lenovo, or View sonic (with a clear warranty period but priced more expensive) or is also ok to get unclear / no brand from China? (maybe without warranty or only 1-3 months warranty but price much cheaper)?

I just bought a $180 15.6" Portable Monitor (IPS HDR 19201080 FHD) with built-in speakers a 75x75 VESA mount, but I don't have a USB-C computer! What's the simplest way to extend my laptop screen to connect to this? I imagine I need a USB-A to USB-C converter? Maybe thre is a wireless solution?
