Lightweight portable monitor

The BOIFUN portable monitor is truly portable. It's not much bigger than my 13" MacBook Pro and weighs less. I could imagine packing the monitor for a trip so I can use it for work and play. I've used the monitor with my Mac and Nintendo Switch and it works great with both devices. The monitor has USB-C and mini HDMI inputs. It comes with cables for both options, which I appreciated. This is a minor downside, you need to make sure you get a mini -Bring an HDMI cable. I used the USB-C input with my Mac, it worked. I used the mini HDMI to HDMI input on my Nintendo Switch and it worked. Both devices did Image on monitor clear and bright Monitor is plug and play, no instructions really needed I did a few Splatoon online matches with my Switch to see if there was any noticeable lag or freezes on the monitor b, there were no problems. The game looked great, although the built-in speakers are very weak. I have several complaints about the monitor. "Smart Cover" is very simple. The illustrations show how to fold the cover and use it as a stand by leaning the monitor against it. Like a smart tablet case. But that seems impossible. The lid is very flexible with no support to hold itself in any form of stand. The box comes with a basic plastic stand but I want to use the cover as shown in the picture as the stand is another thing I need to pack when I go somewhere. In addition, the envelope resembles a folder with files. There is no way to connect it to the monitor. It only relies on magnets to stay in place. I wish there was some sort of clip or strap inside to secure the monitor. Second, the input ports are on opposite sides. The USB-C port is on the same side as the power connector, while the mini-HDMI port is on the other side. So if you want to use the monitor in a horizontal position, you are limited by the input type. The monitor is powered via USB-C and comes with a cable and wall adapter. The power adapter is a regular USB-A 5V wall adapter. I like that it's not a proprietary charging cable.
