cocopar Portable Travel Monitor 15.6 Inch 1080P FHD USB-C Portable Screen with Dual USB-C Mini HDMI Portable Monitor for Laptop PC Mac Surface Xbox PS5 Switch, with Cover VESA Mountable

I love this portable monitor. I work from home and when I travel, I cant lug my desk monitors around. This portable monitor allows me to travel and maintain the use of two screens. The resolution is excellent. The display is very clear. It was easy to connect to my devices. I can use it w/my personal Mac Book Pro and Dell work laptop. The only thing I do not like is that the monitor has to stay plugged into a power source, but good thing they provided a coupon for one free accessory, and 6 feet cable pack is an option. I will update this review later after a months use. As of right now, I absolutely recommend it.

I have used lots of travel monitors and this one is good. It is lightweight, doesnt need to be plugged in (to anything other than your laptop), and the screen is clear. I havent had it that long, so not sure how long it will last (thats usually the issue with travel monitors), but so far, so good. I think the price point is really good too. I bought one for waaaayyy more last time, that was supposed to be amazing and it was just heavy and bulky and still broke a year after I bought it, so might as well buy the cheaper one.

Love how mobile this is. As a remote worker Im going to be taking this everywhere with me. Great that it doesnt need to be plugged into an outlet and can be powered by my laptop as well.

I bought this monitor to use as a second screen in my home office. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. Good quality, sturdy and comes with all the connecting cords. The screen color is slightly off from my computers, but I havent tried to adjust the hue/contrast of the monitor from the menu yet. Hopefully, that will help.

I just plugged it in and it just works! No adjustment to settings required. Thin and light! Metal frame feels like high quality construction. Kick stand holds in place no matter the angle. So far, I love it.

Its just what I needed, I was looking for a monitor for one side to control my streams or put information next to my main monitor, I really liked the monitor, its thin with a metallic finish that looks very elegant, has vivid colors and good brightness, highly recommended.

Pros: Double your screen real estate Can Power the monitor via USB-C without extra power source *May need power in certain circumstances* Magnetic screen protector/stand HD vibrant colors Cons: Speaker Volume weak No stand-alone volume button Whether completing work documentation, various work-related tasks, researching topics, streaming, or gaming, I likely spend more than 14 hours a day in front of a computer/tablet. With a growing need to multitask, one of the most considerable productivity upgrades was a second monitor. The dual monitors allowed me to open more panels and decreased the need to move back-and-forth between frames. Thus, it was an easy decision to upgrade my home setup by adding a portable monitor to my home computer. UNBOXING: The USB-C Portable Monitor arrived in a 15 3/4 inches long by 10 9/16 inches wide by 2 11/16 inches thick clean white retail box. The cover displayed an attractive silvery-metallic “Portable Monitor,” while the top/front panels provide the same information in bold black font. The left side panel was left unadorned, while the right-side panel provided a product SKU barcode. The bottom panel provided the Portable Monitor name along the top left of the panel and contact information along the bottom of the panel. I appreciated the clean white background, the shimmery metallic font, and liked the contrasting black-on-white theme. I lifted the top panel of the box, removed the thin white foam padding, the 13 3/4 inches wide by 7 3/4 inches tall (15 3/4 inches diagonal) screen protector, then the 2 pounds 6.7 oz portable monitor from the box. With the main product removed from the packaging, I lifted the 3/4 inches thick foam spacer and found a secondary foam layer with three cutouts. Along the top left of the panel, I found a 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall cutout, which contained the black-colored 1 7/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide by 1 inch thick Type A Wall adaptor with USB-A output. Just beneath the cutout, I found a second cutout, which measured 5 5/8 inches wide by 4 inches tall. The medium-sized cutout contained a black-colored, flat-style 39 3/4 inches long USB-A to USB-C power cable, and a matte-black 47 1/2 inches long rounded-plastic USB-C to USB-C cable. The final cutout was the largest of the three and measured 5 7/8 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches tall. The cutout contained the product user manual, 3-year warranty card, an upgraded accessories panel (monitor stand, portable battery, dongle adapter, streaming stick), two packets of screen protector installation kits (2 15/16 inches wide by 1 15/16 inches tall cardboard presser/scraper, a dust absorber, three guide stickers, and a 3 7/8 inches square microfiber cloth), and a 48-inches long micro-HDMI to HDMI cable. Installation: The 19-page instruction manual proved to be quite valuable. The first two panels provided similar information to the included accessory panel and added a protective sleeve to the possible upgrades. The third panel provided a list of the table of contents (About the Monitor, Using the Monitor, Troubleshooting, and Warranty and Support). The first segment, “About Your Monitor” (pages 1-3), provided a list of packaging contents (as listed above), then provided a helpful paragraph about each of the items. The second page provided a detailed product specifications panel (15.6inch screen size, IPS screen type, 1920×1080 resolution, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, 100% sRGB, 16.78 Million color depth, 9300K temperature, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 178 degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angle, 60 Hz refresh rate, 1.6 pounds, 14.8 x 8.8 x 0.2-inch dimensions, HDR support, Free Sync Support, 6W power consumption, Mini HDMI/3.5mm Audio Jack/USB-C port x 2 connectivity, 1W x 2 built-in speakers). The third panel provided a left and right side view of the monitor and the corresponding ports (3.5mm Audio Jack/Menu/Power/exit buttons on the right and mini HDMI, plus two USB-C output ports on the left). Similar to the previous panels, the instruction manual did a great job at detailing the features in prose format. The next panel provided utility information for the portable monitor and information about the ports (Mini-HDMI, USB-C (supports PD2.0 5-20V), USB-A (wall adapter). The subsequent three panels labeled “Connecting your Monitor” provided various picture/prose connection options. For a Laptop/PC with Type-C ports, use the included USB-C to USB-C cable and power adapter. For a Laptop/PC with HDMI ports, use the HDMI cable for A/V and use either the USB-A to USB-C between computer/monitor, or use wall power if needed. If the computer has a miniDP, you may need to purchase an adaptor. You can connect the device to modern gaming systems via HDMI and wall power, or you can connect the current generation portable gaming system via USB-C cable and wall power. You can connect the monitor to USB-C capable phones similar to the laptop example above, or you can purchase a separate adapter/dongle for phones that use proprietary charging ports. The user manual instructions proved to be quite detailed regarding the on-screen display (OSD). The panel provided a menu layout and reviewed the brightness/contrast, color settings, audio settings, other settings, and input source. You can use the menu/+/- button on the right side of the monitor to enter the OSD menu, use the +/- toggle to move up/down within the list, and then press the button to activate your selection. You can adjust each of the parameters, select between 4 image modes (Standard/Game/Movie(MY FAVORITE)/photo), adjust the screen tint ( 9300k, 6500k, sRGB, User), Hue, saturation, low blue light, and the color gamut (sRGB, Adobe RGB, DPI-P3, Native color). The low blue light mode reduces the ambient blue light, which breaks down natural melatonin, the sleep hormone. By reducing blue light, the monitor becomes less stimulating and may improve sleep. If you navigate to “Audio Settings,” you can mute on/off, or increase/decrease the volume. Under “Other Settings,” you can adjust the aspect ratio to full screen or 16:9, turn freeSync on/off, adjust the language,, adjust HDR to auto/off/2084, or reset to factory default. Through this panel, you can also adjust between the input sources Type-C or HDMI. The last few panels provided a detailed overview of the duplicate/extend/second screen options and provided a few troubleshooting steps. Testing: To test the monitor, I paired it with my 15 Laptop. I removed the magnetic cover from the monitor screen and laid the monitor down face up. I used screen cleaner/microfiber cloth to clean the surface, and I removed the thin layer from the top of the screen protector. I then laid the screen protector down onto the screen surface. I found a few bubbles along the outer edges, I lifted the edge of the screen with tweezers, then used the dust-absorber to remove as many of the bubbles as possible. Despite several attempts, I had about ten tiny bubbles along the periphery that would not go away. I did not feel that this was a negative aspect of the product, rather a problem with my installation technique. I plugged the power adapter into a standard wall outlet, the USB-A to USB-C cable from the adapter into the lower USB-C port, and the USB-C to USB-C cable between the monitor and my computer. I navigated to the System preferences on my laptop, then Displays. I moved the computer display and accessory monitor display from left to right, or I could hold the option key and drag it onto the computer monitor display to mirror the image. I did not find that feature useful unless I wanted to specifically show someone else what I was doing on the computer. When I moved files/folders to the second screen, I immediately realized the screen felt a little dark. I pressed the menu option, changed the brightness from 30 to 100%, and immediately appreciated the improvement. I liked the ability to control/adjust the settings, but I would have preferred a preset feature/memory and the ability to decrease the brightness. My Laptop provided sufficient power via USB-C to power the second monitor without a secondary power supply. However, If I plugged a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm port, I found that the power was a bit lacking. In that case, I needed to plug the monitor into the included USB-A/Adaptor to add the required power. I loved the intuitive button combination, the mini HDMI out, the added USB-C, the cable’s length, the magnetic stand, and the quality of the display. I did not miss that the screen was not a capacitive touch surface, but I had a similar issue with my computer. As I moved between my tablet and my laptop, I forgot that the screen was not touch-sensitive. I watched several movies through popular streaming services and enjoyed the quality of the videos. The sound was a bit lackluster, and I found headphones improved that limitation quite easily. I changed the mode to gaming mode and plugged my handheld gaming console into the USB port via USB-C and enjoyed the larger/portable screen. Similar to the video viewing experience, I enjoyed a lag-free gaming session. However, I did not like how the gaming mode changed the imagery to a more blueish hue. Instead, I turned it back to movie mode, and found the imagery more vibrant and warm. If I had a few wishes for the screen, I would have liked a stand-alone volume toggle that was not linked to the single button and more powerful speakers. Despite the request, I believe that the company created an amazing device and the OSD button/menu tree was well laid out and easy to navigate. I was pleased that they included the screen protectors and found the small bubbles beneath the screen protector did not detract from my viewing/streaming. Whether you wish to add an extra screen to your desktop, to a laptop, for a standard home gaming system, or for a portable gaming session, this extra screen will not let you down.

I work remotely but have to travel to different locations. This monitor is going to make working so much easier!

Best picture quality monitor and slim design good for gaming and streaming video, all colors and balanced not like other monitors are washed down or not to bright. I been through other monitors not good quality this one best one sow far.

I received my Cocopar monitor and immediately plugged in to my iPad Pro to try it out. Made a few adjustments, such as, brightness, color and set HDR to auto and it worked great with the USB-C cable provided. The iPad provided the necessary power to power both the iPad and monitor. Make sure you are using the magic keyboard with a secondary charging port or a USB-C hub for prolonged use as the monitor will drain the iPad fairly quickly. Evening using Shiftscreen software to use this monitor as an extended monitor for my iPad Pro worked good. The response time was good and the monitor worked great throwing some ultra 4k HDR video to the screen, but I was using the HDMI cable and powering the monitor separately and not through the iPad.. I didnt notice any dropped frames. Plugging this into my MacBook Pro worked great with no complaints for a portable second monitor and was pretty much plug and play as an extended monitor. Even on my work laptop, a windows machine, with a little click here and there in the settings it was up and running quickly. The monitor is a solid metal build and the bottom flips out instead of a screen cover providing the stand and there is a rubberized strip on the monitor to keep it from slipping. Multiple viewing angles are possible and had no fear of it falling over or slipping out of place. It is light and easy to put in my laptop sleeve to carry with me. There is no screen protection so you have to be a little careful when putting in the same bag as your laptop, but included in the box was a protective case which is padded and includes a zippered pocket for cables and other accessories. I would use the case, although it does add some extra bulk to the portability. Some have mentioned they are unable to get High Dynamic Range (HDR) output, but it will not output HDR unless there is HDR content to show. I know that when looking, for example, at the setting on an iPad Pro, it only shows SDR output, but it will automatically chanage then viewing HDR content. This is a good portable monitor. Dont expect this to compete with $1500 or $5000 monitors, it wont. However, for the times you need to bring along a second screen to be more productive this is a good one to purchase. Its well built, has a base to support multiple viewing angles and multiple ports.
