Tied up for a year

I had this monitor as my main monitor because my setup is unique in that I don't really have room for a full desktop, my computer is on the floor connected to my TV and then I have this monitor and a long HDMI cable when needed , The cable is fine and I just got a new mini HDMI adapter just in case it was my adapter and the monitor still shows no input when the cable was tested and works fine for $300. This should work for years, never been dropped and never been exposed to liquids.

Great - great big screen!

Love it. A little heavier than I expected (but I knew I didn't read the weight) and it was easy to connect and use. Perfect for a third screen at home and ideal for a second screen when travelling.

Terrible monitor is the best in my rating

The more I use this monitor, the more I hate it. First off, the display doesn't work with USB-C. It only works over HDMI and the Thunderbolt 3 port on my laptop only supplies power. And when you connect HDMI, the sound is redirected from the laptop's stereo speakers to the monitor's awful mono speaker. But the worst thing is that it is impossible to adjust the brightness and contrast. In the display settings, the screen resolution changes, but the brightness function does not work. With the…

Disgusting use! in my opinion

The screen is ok but when I tried to plug it in I was ready to throw it across the room! The ONLY way this works is by using the tiny 3 foot USB-C to USB-C that comes in the box. Buy another longer cable as it won't work! Not enough space between the screen and laptop or outlet? VERY Pity! Very damn annoying! What did you do Niuto to make sure your cable is the ONLY one that works? Bravo if you pissed me off!

Display is a bit boring

While the overall design and portability of this product are good, I was a little disappointed with the brightness of the screen. It was a bit boring. Even after adjusting with the knob on the side, it still wasn't as bright as the laptop I connected it to. I made sure to plug it in so it would get its own power, but that didn't help either. Basically the product is ok.

Too dark: my rating

Even at maximum brightness when connected to a dedicated power supply, this monitor is very dim. I'd say it was about half as bright as my high-end laptop screen. I definitely won't fly unless you're working in a cave.

VERY IMPROVED! good for me

The first one I bought had a so dark screen that it was difficult to work with. They swapped it out FAST and the new one seems to have been updated (at least the other one as the cover is different) and the screen brightness has improved! I still wish it was brighter, but it will work - and it has a one-piece lid, so I'm happy with that. I only use the second monitor for office software, so I only need it for Word and Excel documents, but I'll still say that my screensaver's colors match my…

Was great until it stopped working

I've been using this product for two weeks and it's been great. This morning it suddenly stopped working. The instruction manual is useless and there is no contact phone number for help. This is NOT EXCLUSIVE! This is not a cheap monitor and should work. Or at least there should be readily available help. I am returning this product today. DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS PRODUCT.

Weak ties - my new review

The power, USB and HDMI cable connections are too loose. The monitor won't stay on or connect to my Dell computer. It worked for about a minute, but then I couldn't get it to work again due to loose connections. I come back. Also, I had to plug the monitor into an outlet to turn it on.

I'm considering sending it back.

Dull and very blurry appearance. And the lid that's supposed to hold it is pretty crappy. upset. Heavier than other monitors.

Amazing quality for the price

This is by far the best monitor out there when it comes to size, bulk and durability. Connects quickly and easily. Recommend!

I can't see the screen

Everything works fine, but I just can't see the screen. It's so dark in there and I've tried everything to change the brightness. I also think it gets darker and harder to see over time. I can't believe I spent $300 on this and would be sorry to resell it but it just can't be used. I would take a picture but my phone does it so much better it doesn't make sense. I would definitely look elsewhere.

Good portable monitor

I wish it was a little brighter when plugged into an AC power source, but that's acceptable. The cover protects the monitor well. She can't stand it alone. I've tried using the lid as a stand (as shown in the picture) to no avail. I ended up buying a third party tablet stand and it worked for me. I've used a few different adapters from my miniDP or VGA to HDMI to a mini HDMI monitor. If you don't have enough USB-C power, the monitor will be annoyingly updated (including using my USB port on my…

Works great with a USB-C pass-through port

I have a Lenovo t480 and I connected the monitor to my laptop's power cord. I then used one of the cables that came with it and connected the monitor to my computer and it works great. I get power through the monitor, so there's only one cable to the computer. I highly recommend this product, it works well for me.

Super impressed at first glance, but!

Super impressed at first, but after the third use it all died out. Only used for travel so didn't make it into Revain's return window. I couldn't find anything about this monitor or the manufacturer online. Revain's support has been fantastic. Too bad the monitor looked good at first glance. You can have a lot of experience.

Cable connectors are of poor quality.

Works perfectly, but the cable connections are very sensitive. Once everything is connected, if you poke at the cable or look at it the wrong way, the monitor will disconnect from your computer, then again you'll have to fiddle with the cables for a few minutes and then make sure absolutely nothing is touching the cables, even lightly or it will switched off again.

Almost excellent in my rating

The monitor is excellent. But the back support is terrible. If your surface is smooth, the back support just slides out. I need to stick a piece of tape from the bottom front to the bottom back to keep it from sliding off. Maybe an inverted rubber mouse pad would work, but folks, shall we?

Screen shattered on second use

Screen in Pelikan soft hard case. The second time I used it the screen was cracked and now the monitor is unusable. The monitor has not been dropped or mistreated. I think for $350 the quality should be much better.

Easy to set up in my opinion

I was looking for easy. It's easy to set up a second monitor for my laptop when I travel. I've tried at least 5 and they were all disappointments to me until I found this one. It's a win-win for me and I don't need to buy extra connectors (cables) like I've done with other 5 portable monitors.

Almost not bright enough.

I like this monitor, the size is good and it's easy to use. I have it at max brightness and I'm really struggling to see it. It might be okay to watch a movie in total darkness, but there's no way to use it for any sort of office work. At maximum brightness, it's half as bright as my laptop at half brightness. I don't see how anyone would use it in anything other than total darkness.
