Review on Cocopar Portable Monitor Upgraded FreeSync Kickstand 15.6", 1920X1080P, 60Hz, Anti-Glare Coating, Flicker-Free, Frameless, Y156FH7R, HDMI by Karthikeyan Elwell
The perfect inexpensive accessory for your laptop!
PROS: - Fairly light - Fairly thin - Narrow bezel - Integrated stand - Matte display (less glare) - Single cable connection to monitor CONS: - Poor color accuracy - No screen coverage, perfect portable monitor to complement my laptop. There have been many good monitors out there, but 3 things made me choose this monitor: thin bezel, stand and no branding on the monitor. I chose an integrated stand instead of a folio cover. I couldn't find a device with a stand and a folio cover within my $200 budget in my entire life. Why can't you do one with both? I've been using this monitor for a few days now and I still don't know how I got along without it! It's nice to be able to use just one USB-C cable to connect the monitor so I don't have to worry about finding an outlet for the monitor. I wouldn't use this monitor as a primary monitor for photo or video editing software due to its poor color accuracy, but I find it very useful when using Divinci Resolve. with activated dual screen. All in all, this is a great monitor and I'll be sticking with it until I find an inexpensive portable monitor with a wireless touchscreen. Interconnects. I tested it on my laptop and couldn't get the mic to work through that audio jack, so I'm not 100% sure if it's a combo jack or not. ****Note 2: Cocopar's customer service is by far some of the best I've experienced at Revain. They are very fast and will do their best to resolve any product related issues. I had an issue with a short USB cable and it took less than a week to fix it! 1 extra star just for their great support! **Note 3: If your monitor turns off or flickers when the brightness is increased, please contact Cocopar customer service and they will send you a firmware update that will fix this issue. I tested it with the new firmware and my monitor stays on even at 100% brightness connected to my laptop with just a USB-C cable for power/display.
Pros & cons
- Its slim profile takes up minimal desk space.
- The high cost of top models.
