This is the best second monitor, very portable and easy to use on the go.

I got the Virzen 15.6 inch portable monitor for the computer, I was able to use it for my Macbookpro laptop, it was very easy and could be connected in minutes and it has a built in monitor which is too perfect for Money is.

Great product for its price

The monitor works perfectly. The speaker is quite loud, the colors are bright. All you have to do is adjust the brightness with the wheel on the side as it is preset at 50%. All in all a great product for the price.

Excellent for the price

This monitor is great for a data project I was working on. The monitor is very uncluttered and the settings are easily accessible once you get the hang of it. The cables are not very long, but that can be easily manipulated.

Works half the time

I was very happy with a portable monitor for more convenient travel instead of lugging around a full size monitor. Unfortunately, this product only works 50% of the time. I've tried swapping cables across different ports, with and without external power, and he has his own opinion. Sometimes it works for several days in a row and then not for a week. I would advise you to save yourself the disappointment.

i wanted you to like it

In the end it just didn't work. The brightness was very weak at the beginning. Eventually I figured out how to set it up. That made me a lot happier. The last straw was that it stopped working. I never got it to work more than 50% of the time. Between reboots, changing cables, changing cable positions, etc. It never worked. I sent this one back and ordered another one. Hope it goes better. Although, probably in the same factory.

  • Unattractive design

The volume wheel, which is also a dial, is incredibly awkward to use. I somehow changed "Input" in the menu and now it doesn't work with anything no matter what input I use (USB C or HDMI). I am incredibly disappointed in the quality of this product. i will return it

Works great if the cable doesn't fray

This portable monitor was great until a few months later the cable frayed and stopped connecting my laptop to the monitor. I can't find any customer support email to replace this cable so this monitor is now completely useless. Would give 5 stars if the cable lasts and if I could get a replacement cable.

Great second monitor

I love this monitor! I needed a second monitor because I work from home and am in grad school. This is a simple device with a lot of power. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a second monitor.

Bad out of the box - my new test report

I was very hopeful but disappointed. Stable, looked good, well packaged and with cables. but the USB-C and HDMI connections didn't work properly and didn't support the source signal. I changed the cables and found that they had shorts (I moved the cable and the picture went back and forth). Maybe I just got a bad one so I sent it back which was no problem.

Exactly what I needed!

Bigger than my laptop monitor!, HD display and a cable! Can connect my phone (Huawei P30 Pro) via USB C and use this monitor as a display! Just perfect! No additional power cables required!

If it works, great!

To be fair, it usually works when using USB-C for power and video streaming. It works after some fiddling when powered via USB-C and streaming video via the mini-HDMI input. But there are days when he just doesn't want to stay connected and in sync no matter what's done to him. I think next time I'll spend more money and buy another one.

Great product in my review

I have just received the item, it came in a nice box and neatly packaged. I checked the sound quality, it's excellent. The on-screen display is well suited as a second monitor for work. Also, I tried connecting my Xbox to check out the graphics with NBA 2K and I was really impressed with the graphics and gameplay. Affordable price with excellent features and quality. Definitely recommend this item!

Worked a month.

This monitor was great when I opened it up and started using it. Device navigation was a bit finicky and took a little getting used to, but everything else was satisfactory. Then, after a month of light use, the monitor no longer recognizes any input sources. It turns on the Virzen screen and continuously alternates between that screen and a black screen for hours until it turns off or decides to show the input source.

excellent seller service and product.

Great product (especially like the unspecified USB connector for power). Was bright enough for me. Having the main ports on one side was handy for placing the stand in portrait mode. The seller's service was outstanding as my issue was dealt with and resolved immediately.

The HDMI port no longer works

The HDMI input has stopped working and is so loose that if I move the HDMI cable while it's plugged in, the faceplate pops out.

Virzen 15.6 " Portable Monitor Review (2020)

Pros: - Feels more "premium" than previous Virzen monitors - Lightweight and easy to set up - Responsive (low input lag) - Good (though not great) colors - Ability to change aspect ratio Cons: - Lid is slippery and doesn't it works with stand too - menu navigation can be a nightmare with just a side wheel

Ordered 2 and love them

These monitors are so easy to connect. Both of my college kids have them. One she uses to do research and social media while doing her homework. Another connects his PlayStation 4. Excellent clarity. Folds up nicely to fit in a backpack. Highly recommended!

Great portable monitor.

For some reason the monitor took a minute to register the HDMI but eventually it showed up with a jitter. Otherwise an excellent product. Easy to carry and use with my raspberry pi
