    16:10 ratio too, for those who prefer more vertical space.

    IMO, only minor negative would be the lack of full size HDMI.

      Full size HDMI makes it lose the slimness unfortunately.

    • joey_c__ on 03/03/2023 - 12:56

      The specs on paper sound great. Especially the aspect ratio. The only issue I’ve had was the seller. I bought the 15.6” FHD which died a week after the refund period. The seller refused to help and just kept delaying and coming up with inane “tests” to drag out the time until it was 6 months past then ghosted.

      TLDR great monitor if it doesn’t die

      • dontpanic on 03/03/2023 - 14:34

        Yeah, if I were to buy one of these no-name brands, I'd prefer to do it through Amazon, even if it means paying a little more.

  • oleglap on 03/03/2023 - 10:00

    Really curious what a use case for something like this is? Laptop sized screen without the computer part…I can think of connecting to something like raspberry pi but again not sure what purpose you’d use it for.

    • SingMeASong on 03/03/2023 - 10:04

      I use it as a portable 2nd monitor for my laptop. Useful as I'm a IT consultant usually working from multiple locations throughout the week. My laptop and a 14" portable monitor i use fit neatly into my laptop bag. Requiring only a USB C to power and provide the video feed is great.

      • Stopback on 03/03/2023 - 10:08

        would you perfer a 16 inch laptop as its more portable than two screens

          +6

          I use a XPS 13 and a portable 14" monitor, which is more useful to me. Plus, I don't think a wider screen or laptop would fit within my motorbike storage. The extra monitor is way more useful to me than one wider laptop screen.

        • coxymla on 03/03/2023 - 11:16

          Not sure why you're downvoted, but a big, heavy, high res laptop is very inconvenient for business use.

      I have a uperfect 13.3" lapdock - laptop without the computer part. It's been surprisingly useful. It's also a much better experience than using an iPad to extend displays as it is a real display.

      I've used it for:

      • Second screen working away from home
      • Setting up PCs, raspberry Pi
      • Using my desktop on the couch once
      • Steam Deck desktop mode
      • Switch
      • Samsung Dex - tablet/laptop mode
      • HiFiGearOnline on 03/03/2023 - 12:47

        Just wondering how this is a better experience to using an ipad to extend displays on a mac? I already have the ipad so hard to justify, but this could be handy with the VESA mount..

        • xoom on 03/03/2023 - 12:48

          You already have the ipad. So this might not be for you.

      Would there be touch drivers available for a pi?

        • 0jay on 03/03/2023 - 12:19

          Touchscreen works

          Diff screen though.

          Touchscreens can use different standards/hardware so makes sense there’d be different drivers.

          • xoom on 03/03/2023 - 12:22

            @0jay: I have a different monitor and i used a pi4 and pi3.

            Touch works.

            @Clear will agree. Touch works on their portable monitor also.

            • 0jay on 03/03/2023 - 12:33

              @xoom:

              Touch works.

              So you’re saying that all touchscreens use identical hardware and therefore the same driver works for them all?

              • xoom on 03/03/2023 - 12:37

                @0jay: Not saying they all use same hardware. Just saying that the drivers whatever raspberry pis uses have had no issues with numerous touchscreen monitors.

                Does Raspbian support touch screen?
                Raspberry Pi OS provides touchscreen drivers with support for ten-finger touch and an on-screen keyboard

      I'm addicted to these things! I use them for their intended use case (to have second monitor when travelling), but I also have them VESA mounted at my desk. I use them for my camera system, entertainment (eg. Google TV/Firestick), and my "non work" activity. The touchscreen aspect is very cool, camera example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ne5lcgtdSBI
      (just to clarify, the ones in my video are much cheaper and lower spec than the ones in this deal)

  • bchliu on 03/03/2023 - 10:04

    hmm.. specs look good. But not sure if it is 100% real with all the features on HDR, Freesync, Brightness and all etc.

    Anyone got one of these to confirm?

    • TheFyrd on 03/03/2023 - 10:06

      I agree with you, I'm leaning toward fake specs.

    • Clear on 03/03/2023 - 10:06
      +8

      They're not particularly expensive features to have. Just a good panel. Many phones have more brightness than this.

      HDR10 is free to implement. HDR10+ and above are licensed with stricter standards. Freesync as the name suggests is also free.

      • bchliu on 03/03/2023 - 10:28

        Only wondering because these features turns a $300 monitor into a $500 monitor usually for desktops with equivalent style of specs. So it's not exactly "free" features to put into any monitor - if that was the case, it would be standard on everything.

        • Clear on 03/03/2023 - 11:03

          Have you seen the difference between a desktop monitor and a portable monitor? There's a reason there's a big difference. Size is the obvious one.

          • bchliu on 03/03/2023 - 11:04
            -2

            @Clear: "Freesync" is free to licence from AMD. NOT "Free" to put into a monitor mate. There's extra electronics to do this and it's also what makes a $100+ price difference in monitors in general.

            • Clear on 03/03/2023 - 11:07

              @bchliu: Like I said… size. You're comparing this to a big ass monitor that's 24" and above that you slap down on the desk, it weights abit, has a big stand, multiple connections and what not.

              While this is a small lightweight portable monitor that you can stick in a bag.

              It's the panel and panel size that make the difference in price. No wonder this is cheaper. Adding some software standards are bugger all in the manufacturing costs.

              • bchliu on 03/03/2023 - 11:11
                -5

                @Clear: I am saying that extra features makes the difference in price - HDR10, FreeSync etc etc. These are the elements that turn monitors from $180 to $280 etc. regardless of whether it is a desktop monitor -or- a laptop monitor -or- a USB portable one.

                HDR10 is free to implement. HDR10+ and above are licensed with stricter standards. Freesync as the name suggests is also free.

                It's not "Free" at all in monitors regardless of whichever type because some of these features require higher quality panels and electronics to get working. It's not "Free" to the consumer as you have alluded to.

                • Clear on 03/03/2023 - 11:15
                  +5

                  @bchliu: Yes these are premium features and they increase the price of the monitor. Hence why it's not as cheap as this 16" portable monitor

                  HDR10 is an open standard and Freesync is a royalty free, free to use standard as well. There's no costs for the manufacturer to use these. However they do need a panel that supports it. HDR really has no requirements and you can get shitty ass panels to do it, but freesync needs to be able to support the higher refresh rates.

                  If they were claiming HDR10+ or G-Sync which aren't free, then saying this whole thing is fake is more believable.

                  It's not "Free" to the consumer as you have alluded to.

                  I never did. That's your incorrect interpretation.

  • chuneeperformance on 03/03/2023 - 10:10

    Wondering if I get use this screen as an upgrade for my security system… No need for keyboard mouse combo and full touch screen…

  • joetrim on 03/03/2023 - 10:11

    It's probably been mentioned hundreds of times but how easy are the returns/refunds with Aliexpress if it fails within the 'warranty' period?

    Why I ask is knowing I have fairly easy returns with Amazon Prime, I recently bought a lower spec 15.6" touchscreen from Amazon with one day delivery but it failed after the second day. I then bought a second one and it did the same thing. Both times it was after the power was physically disconnected and then reconnected. I messaged the seller who said they could not replicate the problem and tested it on 100 monitors. The conclusion was that it must've been a bad batch that Amazon got. The item is no longer available.

    While not really a bargain I got "17.3inch 2K 144Hz Portable Monitor 2560x1440p Touchscreen 1ms 144Hz High Refresh Rate Freesync Ripstop Expand Gaming Screen" for $335 (currently slightly cheaper with codes, might be some others to make it even cheaper) and arrived within a week. I'm super impressed with it although I've only used it a dozen or so days. Power cable that comes with it is great, doesn't feel super cheap and about to fall out of the power board at any second. Screen feels like great quality compared to a 1080p cheapo I got from Aliexpress.
    I've only hooked it up via HDMI so not sure how the touchscreen feature works as i assume one would have to hook it up via usb-c for that. Silky smooth mouse movement with the 144Hz. A lot of $ especially if it breaks depending on how the return process works. Loving it to add an extra screen to my laptop when away from my desk and often use it at my desk too since it can sit under another monitor if the monitor is raised up a bit.

      Problem is when you like to bring the portable screen around to say work. 17" starts to get cumbersome to put inside a backpack. Where as 14 to 16 is still very manageable.

      • harry56 on 03/03/2023 - 11:12

        Because the bezels are very thin and it comes with a soft sleeve it actually fit's in my satchel next to my laptop fine although it of course depends on ones bag. I do notice the extra bit of weight though if having to drag it all around for a long time

          of course depends on ones bag

          What i was alluding to. Most peoples bags can barely fit a 15" laptop. Let alone a 17" portable monitor to go with it.

          Weight is not much of an issue. It doesn't weigh that much.

          Depends on use case. 17" portable monitors exists and offer quite a nice boost to screen real estate. I'd imagine an 18" would be the same thing but in a 16:10 aspect ratio like with newer laptops.
          20" would be huge though, I think that would be beyond practical in terms of portability.
