Review on πŸ–₯️ Portable Monitor for Laptop 15.6 inch TN - High Definition, HDMI/USB, Built-in Speakers - Ideal for Gaming, Raspberry Pi, PS4 - JOHNWILL by Mark Bennett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works as advertised.

I've had this portable monitor for over a month now and am happy with its performance. I use it on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ as well as my laptops and desktops. My monitor had the OSD set to Italian, but it wasn't difficult to switch to English. Once you became familiar with the controls, the OSD menu was easy to navigate. The monitor makes a solid impression. It's not lightweight at just over 2 pounds, but reasonable (for me) considering the solid construction. Adding a lid/stand increases the weight to nearly 3.5 pounds. He has been with me for a while now and is doing well although he is only 5 weeks old at the moment. Attached is a picture of the monitor connected to my GTX 980 ti desktop and default Windows 10 wallpaper. The IPS panel is acceptable. Movement when watching a video is normal. The screen looks normal, apart from a slight glare from the backlight in the lower right corner and lower left center. Luckily I rarely notice any bleeding so it doesn't bother me. I noticed that one of the screws on the side "ground off" a bit so it might be a little difficult to take apart if it's ever needed, but that's no big deal. I don't see any dead pixels. Viewing angles are acceptable. The speakers are nothing special as they have virtually no bass, but I didn't buy them for the sound. In fact, this monitor does exactly what I wanted and gave what I expected from it. The screen looks good except for a slight backlight in the lower right corner and bottom left of center.

I did notice that one of the screws on the side is a bit "polished" so it might be a little difficult to take apart if it's ever needed, but it's no big deal. I don't see any dead pixels.
