Lepow Z1 Pro Upgraded Portable Monitor: Ultimate Computer Protection with 1920X1080 Resolution Review

Great concept and one of the cheapest models even before the Cyber Monday 2019 deal I paid for it but my block is back; that doesn't quite fit my purpose. I wanted to use this with my Essential Phone PH-1 on Android 10. In short: my phone can output video to an external screen via USB-C (but I can't add external power). and via HDMI using a USB-C hub (with HDMI output) and with this USB-C hub I can connect an external power supply to both and also connect a keyboard and mouse. The Bluetooth…

07/11/2020 - The review was originally written on my phone which had all sorts of typos, so I've edited it for better understanding. I don't really understand any of the negative reviews as this monitor is fantastic with some tolerable quirks. I'm comparing this to my old ASUS MB169B+ IPS (2016) that I've had for the past few years. Attached images Asus on the left, Lepow on the right. The Lepow is slightly smaller, with a metal alloy body which I think automatically makes it a little more…

I bought this portable Lepow monitor because I needed an extra monitor when I was moving from place to place looking at stock charts for productivity. At home I have a huge ultra-wide monitor for work, and when I'm on the road the regular 13-inch MacBook Pro screen just can't handle it. A little extra screen real estate goes a long way. This Lepow monitor was a nice surprise, its big 15.6 inch screen is big and actually quite portable (you can put it in your laptop bag or backpack and it…

I typically use a three monitor setup in my office, but have decided to have a second monitor to keep in my setup bag when working at a client site. I wanted the screen to be light, sharp and clear, and easy to set up, so I took it with me to try it out. The screen is sharp and clear. 1080p on a 15 inch screen has the same pixel density as my laptop. Works great in both portrait and landscape modes, no auto detection so you have to change it in OS if you want to rotate it. Initially there was a

With the outbreak of the pandemic, the school went online. I survived last semester with a screen, but finishing some courses wasn't easy. Programming with the zoom open was the worst. This semester I have an advanced class from last semester. I needed a second monitor to work effectively. I did some research to look for the best monitor available. Many of the reviews and YouTube I looked at recommended this product. Many second monitors only have a USB-C cable connection. I'm using a Surface…

I'm an educational designer and 3D decoration artist and I literally dreamed of having a second travel monitor. I originally bought my top-of-the-line MacBook Pro to record ZBrush CAD tutorial videos, but the fan runs all the time and picks up any external mic. My idea of putting my MacBook off the table and recording from an external monitor seemed like the right decision. I've also found that the retina display on the Mac causes Camtasia to record video at a much higher resolution that needs…

The first 3.5 months were great. I'm a remote worker and use this when traveling to get a second screen. Although there was almost no sound from the start, I have to say that the screen's clarity was excellent and it's fairly light for its size. But on the fourth month, the screen went black and stopped working, and tech support told me to buy a new one. Unfortunately I refuse to buy 4 of these a year and want the one I bought to last at least a year. So sad that you lost a customer here…

I bought mine refurbished! When using the Nintendo Switch everything looks great and the volume is ok if you don't have other output speakers. However, I would recommend an output speaker. There are many adjustments with press, tilt up and tilt down with the button on the right side of the monitor. I can adjust brightness, volume, contrast, blue light filter and more. However, don't understand this if you often work on art design illustration. Some of them look faded on Surface Pro 7. This is a

I love that this monitor is so thin and light and connects to my laptop with a single cable. Even on a tiny Starbucks desk, I can easily set up my portable office and multitask between two Lepow monitors and my MacBook. It took some fiddling to get the monitor working with my MacBook. I first connected the USB-C cable that came with the monitor and it seemed to work fine. When I decided to try my setup at a coffee shop a week later, I couldn't get the screen to work at all. Long story short, I…

Nice monitor for the price. Very easy. I had a little problem connecting it to my MacBook but their support chat was very helpful. For some reason my laptop didn't recognize a monitor with a USB port until I tried it with the HDMI cable that came with it. Maybe I just didn't plug it all the way in. However, it now works with either type of connection, even via an HDMI cable hub. Good brightness and clarity. The bezel is small, I like the brushed metal look and the silver details. The included…

The product has worked well for the past four weeks. This article has replaced the old standard monitor (not widescreen) as a second laptop screen. One star off for an unusable full-featured USB-C port. Looks like a manufacturing defect. The middle section tilts to the side, preventing the USB-C cable from plugging in. The mini HDMI port works, but if it doesn't work, this product is useless. This item has never been mishandled or dropped and the cords have never been tangled. I would like to…

I bought this travel monitor back in 2019 and it has paid for itself more times than I can count. The monitor is very light, the screen quality is decent, I work well in Excel on this monitor. I really liked the connection via HDMI as my work laptop has strict security protocols that prevent me from connecting monitors connected via USB. Finally, it's a decent size and it's powered directly from the USB cable. The monitor has a term of 4 years. I wouldn't complain for what I paid if the screen…

I use this monitor every day. This is especially useful for travel. It's lightweight and only draws power from my laptop via USB-C. The screen isn't very bright, but it does what I need it to do. I definitely recommend it.

I'm a software developer and wanted to use this for more utility when coding on the go. The screen contrast is poor and the text quality is fuzzy as well. Suitable for watching content or video games, but not for editing texts for hours a day. Wouldn't recommend it. Also, the stand is unusable, it keeps falling, and the stand itself is very flimsy. I would recommend that you get your own stand if you intend to use this.

I bought it for a business trip. I like that it's light and the quality is great. The only downside is that plugging my laptop in only allows it to be plugged into the same port as the laptop's charging port to provide power. So I have to shut down when my laptop battery dies. Other than carrying a fork, I don't know how to go around this :-(
