ESR Portable Monitor for Laptop, Slim 15.6 Inch 1080P External Monitor with Adjustable Stand

I honestly did not have very high expectations for this portable monitor, although ESR is known for their quality products, only because I really wasn’t sure it could offer anything different than other portable monitors on the market but I was wrong. I have tried other portable monitors and this one is definitely NOT the same as the rest.-First of, the design is simply incredible and, because of its genius design, it takes up very very little space compared to other monitors.-Second, there are no bezels and the borders are so thin that it takes advantage of the entire screen, no space is lost.-And most importantly, adjustable kickstand is just incredible- it can be adjusted for best viewing angle which I’ve never seen on any other monitor. The kickstand also serves as the hub for all connections (hdmi and usbc)-When it comes to picture quality, it is top notch. Text is as clear and crisp as my ipad. It can get very bright yet picture quality does not get affected/washed out.- I tried it with my Mac Mini and my iPad and it worked great!-Watching videos is actually enjoyable on it as well. Quality is excellent. Can do split screen on it and do two things at once.-As for build quality, it really does feel solid and has a nice weight to it yet is light enough to carry around.-The included leather case is also a great bonus and is made of quality material, however, I wish it was just a bit thicker to ensure the monitor is well-protected from any impact during travel, however, I usually take very good care of my electronics and do not see that as a problem.-The hdmi & usb-c cables are also of very high quality, thick cables. Definitely do NOT feel cheap.-Manual is very clear and easy to follow.-Packaging was actually my initial surprise. It is superb! I felt like I was taking out a Macbook out of the box. It is packaged very very well!All in all, this is an excellent monitor of very high quality & a great value. Highly recommended for anyone looking to multi-task.The only thing that I would suggest to ESR to update in future releases is to have a designated switch for volume and brightness. I found myself accidentally triggering the volume instead of brightness and vice versa then have to have to wait until the screen prompt to disappear. Also, if the case could be made a tiny bit thicker that would be great!

This lightweight monitor is thin and very sleek. It was packaged very nicely and came with a little bag for the monitor to fit in.Pros:- very portable- 1080p resolution/60hz refresh rate: full HD resolution and with this size monitor, it is a good resolution- built in speakers: this is always a good thing especially if you need speakers. There is really no bass on this though, but I doubt you got this monitor for a good speaker system. It has decent high range and an OK mid range.- comes with all cables needed, including a mini HDMI to HDMI- no dead pixels or flickering of the screen so far (been on constantly for a week - with a screen saver while not in use)- plug and play (though a part of this is a con: read con section below): you can simply plug the USB-C to USB-C cable from the monitor to your laptop and it simply powers it and turns on. Easy to use, no fusses.Cons:- no power brick to use with the monitor: I'm not sure this is entirely a con, but it doesn't provide you with a power supply (brick) to plug your USB cable into. It also doesn't provide much information on what type of power source is needed (volts/amp) for safe usage. I did try it on my Samsung USB-C (image for specs) and it did power up the monitor just fine. I just don't know if it's safe or not long term, so I'll be using the laptop's USB-C display port.- Brightness: it's generally pretty dim unless you enable the DCR setting (read manual on how to update this, but essentially you press in the up/down scroll wheel that is located on the stand). Even with this enabled, it isn't as bright as my laptop's screen.

The media could not be loaded. The ESR Kickstand Portable Monitor is an excellent companion for both your mobile office and home office. Constructed of aluminum and glass, this monitor feel very premium. weighing just above 2 pounds (945g) this monitor is on the heavier side but, to me, it is justified through the build quality. The monitor comes with three cords to fulfill any personal office set up, and a protective carrying case. To my surprise, the monitor has built in speakers which is a plus. Compared to my Asus ZenScreen, the image quality is more crisp and colors are more vivid leading to a better viewing experience. The monitor is plenty bright and I can imagine it will perform well outdoors.Overall, I would suggest this monitor to anyone looking for a premium product to go along with their mobile or home office. ESR has always produced quality products and this one definitely fits right in.

I've tried this monitor with my laptop and a gaming device. I was pleasantly surprised by the picture quality. I used this monitor under bright incandescent type light and in a fairly dark room. I was really happy with the picture and the brightness. I only have some minor concerns. First, when I plugged it into my laptop the first time, it looked very washed out. I turned on HDR and it instantly fixed the problem and looked great. When I attached to my game device, and it just worked and looked great, so you may need to check the settings if it doesn't look good.I also with it came with a power adapter for when I needed or wanted to power the monitor separately, and I wish there was more in terms of a manual or instructions, but it isn't that hard to figure out. It was nice that it came with all the cables I needed. The built in speakers aren't bad, but they are on the stand so they are behind the monitor. With the thin bezel, I don't know where else the speakers would go, and I prefer a thin bezel like this monitor has. The only minor concern I have is that stand seems to be friction based. It's nice because you set the angle however you want, but I worry that the friction will loosen over time. Overall I really like this monitor, especially for the price.
