Enhanced Productivity: HumanCentric Portable Monitor Consoles with Magnetic Built-In Speakers and IPS - Model 301-1023 Review

Just before the virus spread around the world I got a third monitor for my computer in my office and I was in heaven. Then, when things got really serious and we had to work from home, I first had to go back to just using my laptop's display, and then I got a USB-powered monitor from ASUS as a second extended display. This display was a little pricey, mostly due to the auto-rotation feature that prompted drivers to work. However, the value the second monitor added to my workflow made the…

At first glance, it is noticeable that the design and feel of the box is very similar to that of Apple. As soon as you open it, you see a very well packaged display. The display itself has a flip cover that looks like an Apple iPad cover but is made and looks more like a cheaper version. The device comes with a power adapter with a USB-C to USB-A cable, as well as a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and a USB cable. Covering all your cable needs is a nice touch. Build quality is solid and the device is…

BRIEF SUMMARY: I love the simple way this product extends my laptop display, allowing me to put two monitors anywhere. The portability and thoughtful details of this device make it useful. Just don't expect more from this display than what it was designed to do. I tested this display connected to my new Dell XPS 13. WHAT I LOVE: I connected this display to my Dell XPS 13 and the display only came on with power from my laptop's USB-C port. Windows recognized the display immediately and within…

I wasn't sure if I should buy this portable monitor and I'm glad I got it. Here's what's included: - HDMI cable (mini monitor cable and regular size for output) - USB-C to USB-C cable - USB cable for power bank - Power bank adapter - Screen with cover (from good reason) Very happy that all accessories are included and can be used immediately! I was afraid of having to pull cords to use it. Note that the USB-C on the right side of the monitor (where the power button is) is for power only. All…

I've been using the same portable monitor for years. It was very comfortable but definitely showed its age - a poor monitor with low resolution and faded colors. I decided to give it a try and was happy to see how far these portable monitors have come. At first I was blown away by how thin and light this product is. The screen size is 15.6 inches, so the whole monitor is quite large, but it is also very portable and easy to carry around. It comes with a magnet case with terrible magnets that…

This monitor is great for what it is. It works as advertised, but its inflexibility makes me question the target audience or usage. It can use USB-C or mini-HDMI with a USB-C power interface. It's 1080p, no touchscreen. My concerns that this cannot be 5 stars are: 1. This monitor does not have VESA screw holes, so it cannot be mounted on a wall, stand, bracket, vehicle or anything else. So you have to live with a folding stand, which of course is always at an angle, which can be quite…

I have a multi-monitor setup at home, which is essential for my work. However, more than half of my work requires me to travel and use my laptop. Going from 3 screens to 1, not to mention the fact that one of them is only 14 inches, is not only very uninteresting but also incredibly unproductive. For the actual work you need at least two monitors. First, I tried using my iPad as a secondary device. Ad, although it seemed like a good idea in theory, but in execution it was problematic and just…

Thanks to the HDMI interface, I can easily use it with Raspberry Pi, laptop and PC. My computer doesn't support video over USB-C, but it doesn't matter. I like it as an additional monitor (primarily on Raspberry Pi). Unlike a regular monitor, this one can be snapped up by kids for their iPhones (with the right adapter) and a woman for her laptop. If you have video over USB-C, then you've come to the right place. Pros: HDMI and USB-C video (including cables). Nice pic. Slim and very portable…

I love this monitor. It's lightweight and comes with cables for any type of connection. I use USB-C because it provides power and transmits video and audio from my Mac mini. The speakers are tiny and tinny, so I use a Bluetooth speaker. The case doesn't act as a stand like my iPad case, but I already had a stand. I'm not entirely sure how to set the display colors the way I want, but I'm still experimenting with this. Overall a good lightweight display that is easy to use.

COVID has forced most people to work from home. In the office I have two monitors but at home I only have my laptop and if I want to use two monitors I have to work in my home office. I have a small child so I have to work from different rooms of the house, with this monitor I can be mobile and work from anywhere and also have two monitors. different angles. When the monitor is not in use, the protective cover covers both the front and back of the monitor. It's very portable and about the size…

So far this portable monitor is perfect for my use. I was planning to travel with him and since the trip was canceled I didn't have to use it as often or pack it in my luggage, he seems to check all the boxes. Definitely a great way to save money.

Pros: Super easy to use, ready to go Very bright Very thin It has all the ports you need The display comes with a case that doubles as a stand Great value for money. I have a similar display that costs almost triple what I paid for this one. Cons: It's a little heavy. The case that acts as a stand is very flimsy, a tiny movement and your display falls off. Unlike similar displays, this one needs to be connected to an output. (I have another display that is powered by my laptop) - It's fine if…

I bought this for my son as he spends a lot of time at his grandma's house and only uses a portable Nintendo Switch as she didn't have an extra TV for him. I just plugged the switch into the monitor. You must use a USB power cable, so the monitor must be near an electrical outlet. The USB-C cable from the switch itself goes to the monitor. We tried leaving the switch on the dock and then plugging it into the monitor, but it says "No Signal," meaning there's not enough power. I have not…

This monitor is a game changer for me. I use a 13-inch laptop for creative work on the go, and this display allows me to use two displays when needed. Both my Mac laptop and desktop recognized the display and extended my desktop. It is excellent for video and image editing. The monitor can be connected to a computer to display video in two different ways. For computers that have USB-C and can display video, only one USB-C cable is required, which plugs into the left side of the display. There…

It's just not worth it if you're looking for a second monitor for your laptop. You're better off buying a mobile Pixel or one that connects to your laptop. The included stand is disappointing and won't stand up as it's flimsy. While this is a good monitor, it's useless without a good stand.

Pros: Cheaper, easier to transport, serves its purpose. Cons: Randomly disconnects from laptop. I also connected it. Sound and brightness settings have changed or cannot be saved. The lid/stand does not function as a stand.

We use this monitor for our video sessions. The monitor mounts under the camera on a tripod (quite light, which helps to fix it better) and serves as a feedback/monitoring of what the camera is recording. It also offers audio output if you want to play back the video you just recorded. Very happy with it so far.

This ad is amazing! It's so portable yet bright and capable of replacing a monitor and it can be used with a Roku joystick to build a small entertainment center or TV.
