Review on 💼 CUIUIC Portable Monitor: The Ultimate Travel Companion with Ultrawide Screen and HD Clarity by Joe Ashman

This is my fourth portable monitor in 2 years. I use them for a variety of reasons – as a monitor for Raspberry Pi systems, as a second monitor when traveling, when I need a temporary monitor while working on a server in a lab, or when I need to look at a camera's HDMI output. I even connected it to my phone to watch a movie sometimes, but I don't do that often. Okay, what do I like about this monitor? 1. Built-in footrest. That's great! I don't know why others don't have it, but it's great! I hold my position very well and don't need a thin case or separate stand. There is a grippy rubber material to prevent slipping and the footrest is stiff enough to prevent slipping yet easy enough to open/close.2. They have carefully included a carrying case to protect the monitor.3. Customer service is excellent. I had to contact them about the problem and they solved it quickly and efficiently.4. Matte IPS screen. I prefer IPS for better color accuracy and a wider viewing angle. As with all IPS panels, there is some light leakage, but it's minimal and doesn't bother me. The only thing that would be better would be OLED, but they cost a lot more.5. Full size HDMI port on the monitor. Every second monitor has a mini HDMI. Especially with the Raspberry Pi 4 I don't need an adapter as micro HDMI to mini HDMI cables are hard to come by - much easier to find a full size micro HDMI.6 cable. Build quality looks good, attractive design, thin bezels. Checked: 1. USB-C output from Android phone (phone must support USB-C video output) 2. USB-C output from Windows3 laptop. The HDMI output from the Raspberry PiAll worked without any problems. For the Raspberry Pi, I needed to power one of the USB-C ports on the monitor. I used one of the USB PD connectors on the USB charger. I had trouble turning the video on reliably on the other monitor, but this one works every time. I didn't need to connect power for the phone and laptop - a single USB-C provided both power and signal. I no longer have a color calibration tool, so I can't measure accuracy and color range. My main goal right now is for it to fit the main laptop screen fairly snugly when I'm using it to extend my desktop, and I could get close enough to that with the onscreen controls. I've only had it for a few weeks and am very happy with it so far.
