This is an amazing travel and/or everyday monitor! Easy to connect, great picture quality, and seems to be very well built. Would recommend to anyone needed a 2nd monitor!
I’d long used a beefy triple-monitor UHD set-up for gaming and coding, but as I’ve not been gaming as much I found I was really only using two monitors, and often the second one was more for having youtube or netflix going in the background. I decided to downsize my set-up and stick with one UHD monitor and something small on the side, and this is the first small monitor I’ve purchased for this purpose. I will actually likely be returning it, but not for any fault of this device, but simply that I didn’t know what I wanted prior to purchase and now that I’ve held/used a portable monitor, I think I want something different. So, about this device:
* Portability – It’s incredibly light and slim, it definitely meets the “portability” definition. The power and menu buttons are quite small, but in particular the menu button I feel “pokes out” a tiny bit too much, and I’d be concerned about it being damaged or pushed into the unit if I were to put it in a bag that got jostled around. The “smart cover” (what makes a cover smart? I honestly don’t know, but it’s just a cover that doubles as a stand) seems to do a good job to protect the unit from day-to-day scuffs and scratches, but I wouldn’t imagine it would do anything against a fall or direct impact from something. If I were really moving this around a lot, I’d probably invest in a heavy duty case.
* Ports, I/O, Hook-up – With the ability to use HDMI or USB-C, I like that this can be switched between my actual PC (with a 3080 in it at time of use) and my Surface Pro 8 without needing special adapters. However, it would be an improvement if in both modes you could only use one cable. That is, with the right type of device USB-C can deliver both the power and the display signals, but if you are using HDMI you will always need to also use USB-C for power. HDMI as a technology is capable of transmitting power, so I would have liked to see both modes of transmission also be capable of powering the device.
* Sound – I hadn’t realized when purchasing it has its own built in speakers, but that’s a plus to me as well. The sound isn’t great, you won’t be getting any Dolby Digital Surround from this, but it’s a nice little option if you need some sound on the go and don’t want to go through managing a bunch of Bluetooth devices, other cables, etc. just to hear a video or something. It would not, in my opinion, meet any gamer’s standards of ‘good audio,’ though. Nice in a pinch, that’s about it.
* Visuals – It seems pretty good. After being on UHD for years it is difficult for me to really judge 1080p fairly, but I have no big gripes with the visuals. Differences in color, especially in ranges approaching dark greys/blacks, are difficult to make out except at maximum brightness, but it’s not experience-breaking. I feel the range of brightness available is decent; you can make it quite dim to protect your eyes in a dark room, or can get it bright enough to see in a well-lit room. I do not, however, think it would be very usable in direct sunlight.
* The case – This is actually one of the main reasons I’m returning it is that I don’t like the case that comes with it and would rather just get a different device than buy an additional case. The case is fine for protection and viewing the device if you are okay with “looking down”, but even at the ‘most vertical’ kickstand position the screen was nowhere near as vertical as I wanted, and I had to tilt my head down quite a bit to view properly (something I’m avoiding after some ergonomic-caused neck issues). That said, it does fit well with many gooseneck clamps made for tablets, as you can see I am using in my attached picture. (You’ll also note that I am using it “upside down”, which Windows allows you to do but I am not sure if you will be able to do that with other OS. I am using it in this configuration so that the ports/cables are behind my monitor rather than poking out near the wall.)
I think that this is a perfectly good device with no major objective flaws given the price for the product, but subjectively I think something different is going to be for me.
I recently got my hands on a portable monitor, and it has quickly become an essential part of my daily routine. This compact, mate-screened gem boasts excellent portability, lightweight design, and a convenient USB-C connector. While it has its minor downsides, it’s an exceptional addition to my tech arsenal.
One of the standout features of this portable monitor is its impressive portability. Weighing in at just a few pounds, it’s incredibly easy to carry around. Whether you’re a frequent traveler or just need an extra screen for your work setup, this monitor’s size and weight make it a breeze to tote around.
The mate screen is an absolute delight, reducing glare and reflections to a minimum. It’s perfect for working in various lighting conditions, even outdoors. The display quality is top-notch, providing sharp visuals and vibrant colors. For productivity or entertainment, the screen is a real winner.
The USB-C connector is a welcome addition, making it effortless to connect to a variety of devices, especially laptops and smartphones. The versatility this monitor offers is a major selling point, and it has become a crucial tool for my work on the go.
However, it’s worth noting that, if you need extra brightness on the screen, you’ll need a power adapter. While the monitor’s brightness is generally sufficient for most tasks, under particularly bright outdoor conditions or if you demand ultra-high brightness, the optional adapter comes in handy. It’s a minor inconvenience, but not a deal-breaker.
The built-in speakers, on the other hand, leave something to be desired. They lack the punch and clarity that audiophiles might seek, but for me, they’re not a significant concern. I tend to use external speakers or headphones when audio quality is essential, so the monitor’s speaker performance isn’t a major issue.
In conclusion, this portable monitor is an excellent companion for those on the move. Its mate screen, USB-C connectivity, and lightweight design make it a valuable addition to any tech setup. While it might require a power adapter for extra brightness and the speakers aren’t top-tier, these are minor quibbles for what is otherwise a fantastic portable monitor. If you don’t mind those trade-offs, it’s a must-have for anyone who needs extra screen real estate wherever they go.
Got this monitor to use with my work laptop, so I can be a little more mobile around the house and not be stuck at my desk just to have 2 monitors. This is a great size, and great resolution (perfect for Excel work). It came with quite a few plugs/cords – I think one is to plug it into the wall, but I only use the Type C cord and plug it into my laptop’s Type C charging port. This powers the monitor for about an hour (but my laptop doesn’t have a great battery capacity so your mileage may vary.) I love that this comes with a “case” of sorts to keep the screen protected when not in use.
Review for the KYY Portable 15.6in 1080P Monitor:
Having used this monitor for approximately two months, I am genuinely impressed by its performance and quality. The setup is straightforward – just plug in and you’re good to go. The display offers a sharp and vibrant visual experience with excellent color accuracy. Given its value and the quality it provides, I would wholeheartedly recommend this monitor to potential buyers. The price point is truly unbeatable for what it offers.
Firstly this exceeded my expectations. Definitely looks more expensive than what I paid for. It comes with all the accessories you need. The screen has a metallic surround which makes it very elegant. High recommended this device. Perfect for work for home if you want to screen something to a bigger screen
Plugged it in and automatically booted up and showed my screen within a few seconds. The screen finish (not glossy) and size is perfect for my laptop. I travel a bit for work, so I needed something thin and durable. I’m glad I went with this. If you’re reading the reviews, you’ve found your portable monitor. I could not be happier with this purchase.
