Works great with Nintendo Switch

I gave it to my daughter to use with her switch. She wanted to put a monitor on her computer desk that she could plug her switch into, so I bought her this. The build quality is excellent, there are no dead pixels on the screen. The setup is easy and it has everything you need. I have several portable monitors and love them, this one is every bit as good as my more expensive options. I haven't had any issues with it over the past few weeks of heavy gaming use. Just remember that it needs to be…

  • Limited energy efficiency

I bought 2 of these Boifun monitors. They work great and are worth the money, but the instructions aren't as clear as they could be. I had a hard time connecting monitors to my laptop, but after doing some research at Best Buy, it turned out to be pretty easy. If you have a laptop with an old USB Type "C" port (NOT Thunderbolt), this monitor will not work with that Type "C" port. But the solution is simple. Buy "USB 3.0 HDMI Dual Monitor Multi-Monitor Adapter" from j5create. This adapter…

An affordable screen with an impressive picture at a price

I didn't have high hopes for such a cheap screen, but I was pleasantly surprised with this product. First off, it came with all the cables you need to get started (power adapter, power cord, mini-HDMI to HDMI and USB). -C to USB-C). So it should be ready to use on any modern system. The image quality was surprisingly good for this price range. It even had an HDR option (although I can't verify how well that works). Overall, it has excellent build quality. feels very solid and everything is…

Good portable monitor for the money.

This portable monitor is great for my needs. Everything is well packed in the box. I have a tablet stand and this monitor fits perfectly. I have no problem connecting my MacBook Pro, Samsung Android phone and Sony gaming console to this monitor. The monitor feels well built, and my eyes feel much more comfortable looking at this monitor than the MacBook Pro's screen. It's worth noting that the USB-C on the right is for power only and not for connecting your device to this monitor.

My Samsung S10+ DEX is connected to BOIFUN!

I was a little concerned that this portable monitor from Boifun would give me what I needed. There were 15.8-inch models that were $30 cheaper. The happiest moment I have ever been able to successfully control my Samsung Galaxy S10+ smartphone on this monitor. I needed this feature to view my field recordings so I can get the most perfect recordings to report on any issues or highlights needed to fulfill my on-site inspection duties. The images on this monitor were stunning and very impressive…

Good image quality and excellent portability.

I got this "Portable Monitor, BOIFUN 15.8" 1080P" computer monitor for my father who needs a portable monitor when he travels. This monitor is perfect for him. Here is an overview. Good: - Very good picture quality. The IPS display is bright and has a wide viewing angle.- Multiple ports are supported. The display can be connected to a USB-C or HDMI port. (If HDMI is used, USB-c is used as the power source .) The foldable stand is very convenient to use. I'm amazed that this display has a…

Honest review. good for me

The panel has good picture quality - I wish the brightness was brighter and you could fine tune the screen settings. Sometimes blocked for no reason. The magnet on the monitor worked but weak. I'm glad they include a kickstand which really helps. I wish it didn't look so cheap on the outside, but it's a solid price point and the speakers end up working being fully USB powered, not just a USB-C to USB-C connection .

Great for portability

Great portable monitor. There is no lag between screens and I mainly use it for college but I also use it for gaming as I can have two screens (my laptop and this monitor). This monitor is slightly updated from its old one which I have been using for several years with no problems. It's worth buying, it's very light and very convenient for multitasking. 10/10 recommend.

Great for mobile gaming or photography

I wish I had this when I've traveled more! What a relief for your eyes. Whether you use it as a secondary monitor for your PC or laptop, your phone, camera or gaming device, it will absolutely enhance your game! The included magnetic case is great for storage and travel, and even dueling as your own foldable stand. which can be placed in several ways.

Amazing portable monitor

This monitor is amazing. It was so easy to connect and the size, clarity and brightness are better than the display on my Dell laptop. The included HDMI cable made it easy to connect and plug in. It also comes with a protective case/stand, an extra stand (to use without the case), a wall adapter, a charging cable, and a USB-C cable. I use it as a second monitor when I travel for work. I couldn't be happier with this purchase.

It's so versatile!

I'm so glad I bought this monitor. I have an earlier version and it just builds on the best features it has and is perfect for multiple uses. I really appreciate the easy connection to a second monitor for your laptop or to a gaming system like the Nintendo Switch as it has built in speakers! It's amazing how versatile and thin it is! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a 15.6 external portable monitor!

Excellent value for money, the best in my rating

A really great monitor for the price. It even comes with a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter cable, as well as a bunch of other cables. The angle of this monitor is adjusted much better than other monitors I have tried in this price range.

Great portable monitor with all the accessories you need.

Great value for money, comes with a flip cover, all the necessary cables and even a small portable stand. In most cases, a single USB-C cable provides power and video to the device. Very cool. Color is good, viewing angles are good. The sound is acceptable.

Great portable screen!

Compared to my Macbook, the screen is certainly not on the same level, but other than that - excellent! very handy and gives me a very easy way to work anywhere with multiple monitors and with just one cable. The quality is pretty good and the color accuracy is stable. Of course, this is NOT a retina screen, but in general it's of pretty high quality.

Good screen in my review

I use this screen with my MacBook Pro and it has made my life so much easier. I have two monitors on my desk and now I can use two monitors while working on my laptop. This screen was easy to set up and work with and the picture is better than I expected, it's not perfect but looks great. I would buy again. 5 STARS

Nice picture in my review

I have this connected to both my phone and my computer. It works fine with both. You use a different cable for your phone than your computer, but it was all easy. I only wish these cables were longer, but this is an easy fix. Nice bright and clear picture.

Really good product, great "luxury " feel.

The monitor was packaged very well, so first impressions are really good. Good printed documentation and processing made it easy to get started. I use it as a preview monitor for incoming video to ATEM mini, which then streams the "hybrid" meetings live. Basically it just worked great.

Nice little monitor

This is a fast plug and play monitor. Comes with a small stand that works well for horizontal presentation. With a portrait display, the input and power are on opposite sides, requiring a single-hole stand for proper use. The screen will not rotate initially, but can still be used that way if the display input is rotated using the display settings. I think it would be a good side monitor for a material design and 3D modeling toolbox.
