Probably the best portable monitor I've used so far
The Monitor itself is superb, probably the best portable monitor I've used so far, my only gripe is it doesn't come with anything that can keep it up right, I guess they figured you would lean it against a wall or something which is extremely ridiculous, for $300 it should come with everything you need. I found one with the exact same design that does come with a leather stand. https://smile.amazon.com/Portable-Monitor-Screen-Leather-Laptop/dp/B07CTDL856/ref=pd_sbs_147_27?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07CTDL856&pd_rd_r=J6Y0YZW2PQQDXZPQZ6FP&pd_rd_w=ZsQj4&pd_rd_wg=69YoM&psc=1&refRID=J6Y0YZW2PQQDXZPQZ6FP, but unfortunately it's from a 3rd party seller that is most likely from china, now I am searching the internet for the exact same stand that I can attach to this monitor, Im so angry!!!!UPDATE: Found the perfect case 15.6 Inch Portable Screen Leather Case Special For 15.6 Inch 4.4mm Thin IPS Portable Monitor For PS4 Xbox HDMI USB 1920 1080p LCD Screen

Very Good For The Price
I travel a great deal and many times need an extra screen, especially if I am working on spreadsheets etc. Very often I will use a hotels flatscreen TV to use as my second monitor. As you can imagine this is not ideal and now many are attached to the wall, impossible to do. So I was looking around for an alternative. This is where this product came in. It is relatively lightweight so travelling with it is not an issue.The item is from a manufacturer I had never heard of before, but the price was rather attractive. I am a great believer in the adage "You get what you pay for" but given my usage needs and the fact I travel with it (prone to damage) I did not want to invest a great deal of money into something that may not work as I had hoped or that could get damaged in transit. As such, I opted for this screen given the deep discount voucher Amazon was offering.I use an Ultrabook and this screen is a perfect match for my computer. Once it is opened out and in use, it is virtually the same size as my screen. So the horizontal lines almost match, so it is easy to read across. It was very simple to set up, almost a plug and go set up. The display is matte, which is very useful if using in bright light. The downside is in its brightness, it just lacks a high level of brightness. The inbuilt speakers are just about sufficient for the job, but I do not use computer speakers. I carry a Bluetooth speaker which provides almost HiFi quality sound. I can forgive these weaknesses as the screen is so thin and lightweight. The display itself can be adjusted via a rather complex menu system. This menu system reminds me of Sony's overly complicated end-user experiences and could do with some improvement. The box also contains all the wires that are required. I hate flimsy wires and these are nice and thick with I think helps with the picture quality (HDMI) and the power cable (USB) will not get damaged.Whilst this is not perfect, at the current price of $110, it is excellent quality given the low price. The casing and finish are good and matches my computer. The screen is clear but does lack some brightness. Overall, this is a great travel monitor for the price and I am happy to recommend it, even with the menu and brightness issues.

Excellent monitor for travel
The display has a matte finish which reduces glare. This is a useful and thoughtful approach considering the mobile nature of this monitor. But as a result, brightness/contrast will appear to be not as high as you get from today's OLED and LED panels which are commonplace on tablets and cell phones. The sound from the built in speakers come off as somewhat muted. It's definitely not intended to provide a booming theater experience. But it has a headphone jack which is likely to be the most common use case scenario. This is a very, very light and thin monitor - the thinnest and lightest I've experienced in this category. The back is styled after carbon fiber and looks great. There is no labelling on this monitor at all - including the rear buttons. I've translated the button controls and have included a photo of the labels in English. The menu system will take some time to get used to but it provides access to a good amount of fine tuning controls which is appreciated.It comes with an HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable for video/audio and a micro-USB cable for power. I found them to be somewhat thick and bulky for travel purposes so you may want to consider substituting them for thinner cables.If you are in need of a thin and light external monitor to use for travel, this is the best one I've tried so far and I very much recommend it. The matte finish is pleasant on the eyes when doing document creation, web browsing, reading, etc. And it also provides a pleasant experience when gaming with no noticeable lag (I tried it with a Nintendo Switch) and movie watching (Netflix).

Initial Reaction: It’s nice & works...
Got it a short time ago, and my initial findings are positive overall...The language for most items is a mix of kanji type characters & english. I couldn’t find a language setting. The menu is very reminiscent of other monitor menus I’ve used, so I managed my way through the non-english options.The video quality seemed good, it’s light & very thin. It comes with a plastic cover that doubles as a stand.I have a hub for my Retina MacBook that has both HDMI & is a powered USB hub. I found without being powered the monitor it will loop off & on. When the hub is plugged in it has no problem powering both the Mac & this monitor...[Update]I gave it a try on my Nintendo Switch but it would not give me anything but a black screen. I have a little more testing to do on this front before can say for certain it doesn't work, but my initial tries failed... Since this was more of an afterthought than anything else it doesn't detract from it too much, it just would be kind of cool if it were a viable option...
