Review on Lepow Portable Monitor Z1 Gamut Improved Ultra Slim 15.6", 1920X1080P, 60Hz, Built-In Speakers, Z1-Gamut Aerolite Black, IPS by Earl Holland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good screen, not easy to use.

It's a decent screen, fairly sharp and good colors. Not the best viewing angle and a bit of reflection, although mine appeared to already have a screen protector on it, which probably interferes with viewing. Issues that caused me to return it: This monitor needs to receive power and video over a single USB-C. Harbor. It never worked that way, but I could "power" it with a second USB-C port like this: 1) Connect a USB-C monitor to the laptop. The monitor does not turn on 2) Plug the other USB-C port of the monitor into a power outlet using an adapter. The monitor will now turn on because the auxiliary power supply is connected to it. This means it ends up running on laptop power only. This is a hassle every time and basically means I always need power from the wall. Another problem is the screen brightness. It's not as bright as they claim, even at full brightness, and it always turns on at around 50% brightness. This is in addition to the necessary power-on steps that must be performed each time to make it usable.
