> 3 dayI went into looking for a portable monitor with the hopes of: 1. Being able to store it easily when not in use 2. Being able to carry it around when needed 3. Only needing one cable for power and display 4. Having a sturdy, integrated kickstand instead of a smart cover A lot of the portable monitors I saw easily hit the first three points, but the last one didnt seem to be as common. I almost wanted to give in until I saw this one, and so far, it has exceeded my expectations. The picture quality is amazing, the kickstand is far from fragile and it even comes with a sleeve that can protect the monitor and carry all accessories. I can say that I am very pleased and would definitely recommend it to anyone else looking for a portable monitor!

> 3 dayI was a bit hesitant and skeptical about how well this thing would work when I first purchased it, but so far it has exceeded my expectations! I purchased it in lieu of a second monitor for my laptop because 1) I wanted something I could take with me to use outside of my apartment, and 2) my boyfriend didnt want a permanent standing monitor at our desk because our desk is tiny. So I opted to get a portable, foldable one instead, and I am SO happy with my choice! I fits in my backpack or any work-like bag, and it works well so far with my Macbook Air laptop. The screen/picture quality is good, not great, but that doesnt bother me at all since I just needed a second screen to get my law school work done on more than just my laptop screen. I love it and would recommend as a 2nd screen/monitor!

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI work remote and choose to travel often for pleasure. This monitor has exceeded my expectations and is better than my home office monitor since it’s spacious. I didn’t have to read the directions and easy to set up. I used a dongle to connect to the monitor.

> 3 dayI debated on which portable monitor to purchase for the longest time. Read a ton of reviews and went back and forth between name brands vs non-name brands. Ultimately, I just decided to give it a shot. I can honestly say, this is absolutely the perfect monitor. I travel a ton and need the extra monitor to get work done. This thing is very sturdy yet extremely lightweight. The light case almost weighs more than the monitor. Absolutely love the stand. I saw others that had a cover that folded into a stand, but I have had tablets before that used the case to hold up the tablet and you are always struggling with it falling over or the case sticking too far out in the front or back when you have a tight desk at a hotel. The stand allows for EXACT adjustment and gives the monitor a more sturdy feel. I have ZERO complaints about this monitor and nothing but positives. I would purchase this again and again.

> 3 dayFinally I have found exactly what I needed, a light and practical monitor that I can add to my laptop bag for work travel and set up in seconds when I reach my hotel. I won’t travel without it. The image quality is pristine and the set up is done within seconds. The monitor stands on its own with stable foot and the screen is large enough to work on excel spreadsheets. I purchased a second one, I was so impressed. Look no further, the Cocopar monitor is the answer.

> 3 dayI have 3 monitors in my home office so working with just a laptop when traveling does not work well. This is a great addition when traveling and even gives me an additional monitor at home. Worth every penny!!!

Greater than one weekI purchased this portable monitor to use with my Lenovo ThinkPad for work while traveling. Having 2 screens is essential to my job functions. I was debating between an extendable monitor that attached right to my laptop but I decided to purchase this option after reading reviews that it is hard on the hinge. I am very pleased with it being plug and play (I use the thunder cord USB-C to USB-C) so I dont need a separate power cord. I do want to caution it will drain the power from the laptop so make sure it is fully charged if you are using this option. The kickstand is very adjustable for different angles and there is a brightness toggle one the side of it. The picture is crisp and bright and I am very happy with the monitor, wish I would have ordered one sooner.
