Review on Cocopar Upgraded FreeSync Portable Monitor J173FH10F 🎮 - Perfect for Nintendo & HD 1080p Gaming! by Michael Dominguez

Tested with Thunderbolt adapter so far. I assume Displayport can deliver higher fps. I have an Alienware Area51 laptop, so it's more of a desktop replacement than a laptop. It's intended to be used as a secondary monitor for looking up links while playing or viewing related text while studying, not the primary monitor, so my review has that in mind. There are a few unnecessary annoyances with this monitor: 1. Starts up at brightness 1. Every time I unplug the USBC it defaults to brightness 1. He doesn't remember my last setting. This is not intuitive. Even if it doesn't remember my last setting, you might think it would default to 5 out of 10. Instead, the display starts out very dark. At first I assumed it was lacking power and wasted an unnecessary amount of time trying to get the PD port to work, but later found that I could manually set the brightness to 10 without a PD connected. edit 2 - Cocopar sent me a firmware update. This will set the default brightness to 5 and let the menu save the brightness. I expect Cocopar will apply the firmware update to all new models, but I'll leave this here for those who received an older model and were disappointed so they know Cocopar will fix it for them.2 . When I connect a second USBC to the PD using the included power adapter, the display turns blue and then shows "no signal" when another (third) monitor is already connected, although it works fine with just a USB-C has, albeit weakly . . It then goes into sleep mode and turns itself off completely. Sometimes the monitor gets bright and I think finally everything is working properly, then the monitor turns off and the blue screen reappears with the message "no signal". Not helpful.3. When I use my own USBC to USB 3.2 to PD cable it seems random whether I get a picture or "no signal". Even if I had a normal image with TYPEC port before. The included cable just gives "no signal" so this is an improvement.4. When I connect the PD via USBC and set the brightness to 7, the monitor goes off, then back on and says "no signal" and then off again. edit 2- Cocopar sent me an updated PSU. New 45w unit as opposed to the 18w that came with the unit. With the 45W unit I was able to turn the brightness up to 10 with the PD connected instead of turning off at 7. After a firmware update, the monitor stopped working, coincidentally "no signal" when the PD.5 was connected. The side switches have a power button right next to the + and - buttons. So expect to accidentally hit the power button repeatedly while cycling through the monitor settings. This button works best anywhere except next to the navigation buttons. Something to consider for the next model. Other portable monitors claim to be thinner, but if you look closely the connector section is just as thick as this one, so the thick section comes first, then the thin section. Due to the fact that you're carrying something in a bag and constantly taking it out at baggage claim, the difference in thickness creates a tension point that feels unnecessary, which is why I chose this one. It would be nice to be thinner, but the connectors limit the thickness of the monitor. If I leave the monitor plugged in and press the power button, the monitor remembers my brightness settings. However, this is a second street monitor, so turning it off is standard practice. So it's almost not even a plus. edit 2 - fixed via firmware. The sound is furry and not very loud. But for sound I use headphones or laptop speakers. So it is not considered a disadvantage. Gaming - You will probably want to use Displayport for gaming. I haven't tested it yet because I don't have a MiniDisplayport to MiniDisplayport cable, but T3 port games use Intel 630 driver. Game in FF14 at max settings dropped to 6fps. I had to switch to the default "laptop" mode and lower the resolution to 1280x720 to get a decent 30+ fps that looked pretty pixelated and everything still felt sluggish. Less graphically intensive games may perform better. No stuck pixels when opening. I switched to all white and all black backgrounds and everything looked fine. Cocopar contacted me and suggested some fixes. If these things actually happen, my rating will change. However, a simple appeal like yours is already a good sign. 2- I am very satisfied with Cocopar's customer service. Not only did they send me some things like extra cables that I didn't ask for, but unlike most customer support, they didn't just email me a reply and forgot about me until I responded. They checked on me about every week to see if I had received any updates or upgrades in the mail and applied them. Unfortunately, I had to go to sea for a month, which interrupted the process, but all the while they were patient with me. In fact, this company was the epitome of excellent customer service.
