Review on Portable Monitor KOGODA Travel Speakers 15.6", 1920X1080P, 60Hz, High Dynamic Range, Z1-5S, HDMI by Chico Heidebrink

Great portable monitor

This is a review of the Kogoda 13.3 inch monitor. One of the highlights of this monitor is the fact that you can run video, audio and power only through the USB-C port. This makes it a great Raspberry Pi monitor or a second laptop monitor. I particularly liked the low power consumption of the monitor. I can power my Raspberry Pi and monitor from the same power supply. A limitation. The screen is sharp, clear, and has good color reproduction, but don't expect it to work with full-featured desktop monitors. In my video test, I compared this monitor to one of my Dell HDs that costs 4 times as much. I was still very impressed with his performance. Definitely good value for money. The monitor comes with three cables; However, the one you need to run your Raspberry Pi is not included. To run a monitor on the Pi, you need an HDMI mini to HDMI micro cable. No big deal, just a warning. The kit includes the following cables: USB-C to USB-C, USB-A to USB-C (for power delivery when using HDMI), and HDMI to HDMI Mini. The monitor comes with a neat case/stand. It's not attached to the monitor, but has magnetic strips that allow it to be folded into multiple shapes to support the monitor. The sleeve wraps around the monitor for storage. The monitor also comes with a screen protector. It's easy to put on and I highly encourage you to do so. The plastic on the screen is a bit soft and can get scratched (I had this on their 7 inch monitor before I put the screen protector on). The instructions are well written with many illustrations. Overall I think this is a great portable monitor, especially as a monitor for a Raspberry Pi or as a second monitor for a laptop. I am currently running this monitor on one of my server machines to see how well it performs 24/7 for a while. I also did a video review on my YouTube channel, Canteen Cup.
