Review on ROADOM 4K Portable Monitor with FreeSync - Dual Type-C, 15.6", 3840X2160 Ultra HD Display - Ideal for Gaming and Work - Model Z1-7 by Roy Elia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great picture, just normal sound, perfect setup.

Bought because I wanted a second larger display for my Lenovo Yoga. I regularly use my laptop for work/study and having a second screen improves productivity. I liked my 13 inch screen but found I needed larger windows for some web/work apps. First well packaged. I particularly liked the special cutouts for the display and all the accessories. That being said, I wasn't expecting a miniDP cable. This will be useful for my old MacBook Air which my son uses for zooming and sometimes needs a bit more screen real estate for OneNote and Zoom. The cables are very simple, of good quality, but the HDMI connectors are not gold plated and do not support 4K, but since the display is not 4K it does not matter. Powering is very simple, but any 5V 2A adapter will do. Sometimes I even just use my laptop's AC adapter to power the screen and transfer the charge over USB-C. The image quality is sufficient for my purpose. The brightness is reasonable, all pixels work, there are no bright spots and lines. As for the sound quality, I'd like to say it's okay, but it could definitely have been a bit better. On the plus side, I mainly use it for a second screen and my laptop provides sound. When I plug in my Raspberry Pi 3 retro gaming computer, the sound quality is underwhelming. Actual dimensions are decent. I wouldn't mind if it was a bit thinner, especially to only deliver HD and not 4K. The magnetic lid is good and provides ample protection when storing or carrying in a bag. I prefer using a tablet stand for a better viewing angle and more support. The magnet cover really only offers 1 or 2 corners and is only perfect for sitting on a stable surface. I would say 4 stars overall, would give 5 if it was a little thinner/lighter and if the sound quality was a little better, but still a great option for performance and a perfect setup for me.
