    I actually ordered this to use with my iPhone, and while I couldnt figure out how to make it work (kept getting a no signal message) I was able to hook it up easily to my laptop and use it as a 2nd monitor. The kids can use it with their Switch and Nintendo as well, comes with multiple types of cables (usb, usbc, hdmi, etc) to hook up to just about anything. Im sure if I called Customer Support they could help me hook it up to my phone. Brightness is good, honestly it makes my old laptop monitor look dull! Comes with a nice carrying case and is boxed up nicely (similar to how Apple products are boxed). Nice and hefty, would like the stand to have more than one tilt option but you can just lean it on something so no big deal there. All in all its a good size, color and brightness are good, easy to hook up, a good buy.

    COOLHOODs 17.3 portable flat panel monitor is a good, competent monitor. There are a lot of great things to say about this flat panel... but its not perfect. In its favor, it is big... 17.3-inches (diagonally) big, offering plenty of visual real estate, and pairing nicely with most 17-inch laptops. For its size, it weighs-in as expected- not heavy, definitely portable. This monitor features a built-in kick stand... so it sets up easily, and quickly. And the monitor comes with all the accessories needed, to make it plug-n-play, straight out of the box. Included are an HDMI cable, USB-A to USB-C cable, a straight USB-C cable, and a neoprene sleeve- to store and protect the display in. The monitor also comes with a USB-A power supply cube. Thats a nice touch, since so many manufacturers omit that very-useful accessory, apparently in the name of making a buck. Kudos to COOLHOOD, on this one. This portable monitor also has built-in speakers that play nicely, with good volume- though they are a bit tinny sounding. I connected this display to my Asus Zenbook 14, and even running on batteries, my laptop easily powered up this portable display- mirroring the built-in one, using only the straight USB-C cable. That IS portability. The portable monitors display is responsive, too. It had no trouble with high-speed graphics, as there was no discernible pixelation during rapid motion sequences. Brightness was on par with my PC, too. The reason I say it isnt perfect, is the saturation of color on this display. Comparing this display to the built-in display on my Zenbook- as well as other portable displays I own, I fiddled with every adjustable parameter of this monitor, but just couldnt quite get it to match the vibrancy of my built-in display. The picture I included shows the best I was able to get from this display. Its quite good... but it isnt perfect. In my opinion, this portable display always comes up looking just a little washed-out. Its crisp, its clear, its bright enough... but forever just a touch blue- no matter what setting I adjusted. I work in television, and I do a lot of video editing on my PC. Im not sure Id want to rely on this display to accurately show me a preview, before laying off finished material. That said, for gaming... or even just watching a movie, its the perfect up-size to the 14-inch display on my laptop.

    I really like having two screens when using my laptop on the road. It makes me more productive having the extra screen. The image is very good, brightness is okay. It connects via USB C or HDMI and comes with a carrying case. I wish the kickout stand was larger more sturdy, but it does ok.

    Ordered this to serve as the primary monitor for a mini–PC. It serves my purpose well, and I can also see where this monitor would be perfect for the road warrior who needs a second monitor for a laptop PC. At a mere 5.8mm thick (and no more than twice that along the bottom quarter to accommodate the inputs), the COOLHOOD monitor weighs in at just under three pounds. Its sturdy aluminum frame and remarkably well constructed protective bag allow for extreme portability. While not infinitely adjustable, the monitors built-in kickstand is sturdy, well designed, and keeps the monitor in place even on a slick surface. That being said, Im using the COOLHOOD monitor with an aluminum tablet easel, which provides much better support and adjustability for my use. Picture quality is frankly much better than expected. No excessive backlight bleed, and color remains vivid and consistent across the viewing surface. I havent messed with the brightness, contrast, etc., because the picture quality is great right out of the box. Audio is nothing spectacular, but not inferior to any other monitor Ive reviewed. I never expect audiophile quality sound from monitors anyway, so no penalty incurred. Finally, a check on Amazon shows this COOLHOOD monitor in the sweet spot among its 17.3-inch competitors pricewise. That, plus its solid, reliable form factor and excellent image quality make it a winner, in my opinion, if you need a second laptop monitor or monitor you can fit in a tight space. Id be no less enthusiastic with my review had I paid for it myself instead of receiving it on Vine.
