Review on 📱 Lepow Portable Monitor Z1 Pro: Upgraded Ultra Slim Cellphone HDMI Display by Andrew Schmidt

I've been interested in a portable monitor for a long time but Covid finally got me into looking into this as I needed a monitor to work from home. I bought this monitor primarily to use with my work laptop for viewing documents. The monitor has 2 USB-C inputs, one is for power only and the other can carry both power and video. The USB-C ports conduct electricity. So if you only connect it to the USB-C port, the other USB-C port can charge the video input device. For example, I had a power station that was only connected to power via USB-C, and an iPad connected to video/power via USB-C. The iPad could be charged at a power station. There is also a mini HDMI input. One really cool touch: cables for each are included, but note that the quality of the USB-C to C video cable was poor and I ended up buying a separate replacement. Note that not all USB-C cables are created equal, so you'll need to find one that's listed as video transfer. My iPad and laptop were able to deliver power and video over a single USB cable. c. I also connected via mini HDMI and powered the monitor via the power bank. According to my power supply it used about 10W (just powering the monitor) at full brightness and full volume, which was lower than I expected, so power supplies or USB chargers with at least 5V 2 amp output should power it. I assume that a 20,000mah AC adapter should power the monitor for around 8-10 hours. Colors, refresh rates and resolution were more than sufficient for my office use. I've also played a few movies with Plex on an iPad and found it works well. One problem is that the volume from the built-in speakers was quite low and the overall sound quality left a lot to be desired. The monitor has an audio output for headphones, and also on the iPad you can display an image on the monitor when you play sound through the Bluetooth speaker, which I chose. However, I never expect much from a monitor speaker, so I didn't think it was a problem. The case it came in allowed the monitor to be mounted at a variety of viewing angles, and the monitor itself is held in the case with magnets. I'm not a fan of magnets anyway as it doesn't seem that secure, but it managed to hold it in place relatively well. The included screen protector feels nice, but being a film it is very difficult to apply without bubbles. In the end I did without the protective film. Finally, note that the monitor settings are not retained when powering off, which isn't a big deal as the factory settings are good. Overall I liked the monitor.
