ForHelp 2k Portable Monitor 16inch 2560X1600 USB C Laptop Monitor HDMI Computer Display HDR IPS Gaming Screen w/Smart Cover & Dual Speakers, Travel Monitor for PC Mac Phone Xbox PS5 Switch Laptop

I badly needed a secondary display to take with me when I travel or work from a cafe for my 14'' MBP M4. I wanted something 1) inexpensive 2) lightweight 3) decent image quality. This display matches all of those and then some. The 2560x1600 resolution is amazing for when you need more "real estate" and don't mind small text. I run it at 1680x1050 and it's the sweet spot for a secondary code window. For watching full screen videos, the full rez is amazing, though and switching is a breeze. Power draw is very low/excellent. It drains my MBP battery about 30% faster than normal, but the trade off is more than worth it. You can also plug the screen itself to a power source and it will in fact charge (albeit very slowly) the MBP. Image quality is great, but specially great when you consider this is a $100-ish 16'' screen. If you work in the visual/creative arts it may not be up to your standards in terms of color rendition, but for every one else this travel monitor is a heck of a deal.

The screen is crisp, bright, and looks great. It matches the resolution of my company-issued ThinkPad & it's great to have more screen real estate. When I first connected it via USB-C, Windows only recognized it as 1920x1080. I used a different port on my laptop & it then worked at 2.5K, then when I switched back that one was working fine too. I blame Windows haha. The case is pretty flimsy & the magnets that are supposed to hold it to the back of the screen aren't strong enough. So getting it set up when traveling is a bit fussy. Once it's in place it works great.

EDIT: After posting my original review, the seller reached out to me to offer support. They let me know that the monitor requires a USB C cable rated for USB 3.1. After acquiring a couple of these, I found that the monitor works just fine with them. Make sure that the cable states 3.1 or 3.2. I ordered one that says it supports 4K Video but ended up being 2.0 and it didn't work. Original Review: ordered for a work trip. Arrived quickly. Plugged the included USB-C Cable into my Surface Laptop and the monitor and it worked fine. Got to the hotel and pulled everything out. realized I didn't pack the included cable, but no problem, right? I have plenty of high quality (Anker) USB C cables in my laptop bag. Nope, big problem, none of my cables are passing video to the monitor!. Hmm... Maybe I'm not getting enough power - plugged in USB C to the laptop and another USB c to power. still no signal. surrendered - went to best buy, got a usb c port replicator with an HDMI port and an HDMI to mini-HDMI cable. got the monitor working with a whole lot more than the one cable I thought I needed! I did buy another USB c to USB c Cable and that one didn't work either. IN all fairness, all of the required cables are included with the monitor, I just didn't pack them. lesson learned! I will try the included cable again when I get home. I don't see any reason that none of the USB C cables I have tried would work and that concerns me, because cables are not forever, and I don't know what I would need to replace the original with.

Great screen! Screen quality is very good - I use it for work. I can recommend this product.

I’ve had portable monitors before and usually the resolution and brightness is off. This one is great quality resolution but the “stand” it comes with is pretty useless and it falls down a lot.
