5 Ways to Use a Portable Monitor - #2 Will Shock You (Not Really)

Wow I DEFINITELY didn't expect #2!

I got a portable monitor for Christmas. My smartphone is not compatible for the monitor. I'm using a Chromecast. I'm not always satisfied with the volume. I would like to add speakers for movie night or headphones for work but it seems impossible. Is there a way around this?

Awesome video is to watch and know.

Thx for this integrated video.
Gary, if we want to use the 5th usage - connecting a type c phone - and we would like to add KB and mouse to this setting. which options do we have?
should we use BT keyboard-mouse or using a type c hub with PD type c extended and connect the type c cable to hub's type c port and use other hub's port(s) to connect KB & mouse?

Hell, I use one as a main monitor for my PC. It's pretty nice, really.

u can use a portable monitor for xbox an playstation on the go like if you go to a friends house and they don't have a extra tv for u to use.

i ordered a 15,6 arzopa lcd monitor portable

have one. but prefer large table on wifi or hotspot. less cables and stand alone device.

I'm still using a Motorola lapdock as this. Added bonus: has battery. Minus: male(!) micro hdmi input. Battery still works fine (couple hours, low self-discharge) but the usb that has the keyboard/touchpad part does not. Shame anything like that costs an arm and a leg nowadays.

Is there a way to play content from a USB C flash drive on a portable monitor?
I found a female USB C input to female HDMI output. Since plugging the flash drive straight into the portable monitor doesn't work.....will a device like what I mentioned work as a way to play the content from the flash drive directly to the monitor?

Damaged my MacBook screen, costs about $800 to replace, plus the downtime taking it over and waiting for the repair, Allowed me to kick the can until I was ready to have the laptop repaired.

As a question related to #1, can you use it on a PC to go into BIOS before installing or going into your OS?

Can o connect portable monitor directly to cpu ?

are there portable monitors that can charge/tranfer data with 1 usb c connector and with usb alt mode (future-proofing)?

I’m bout to buy a mini pc do you think this would work as main monitor because I travel a lot

It’s going to be handy in the UK with the expected power outages this winter. Just pair it up with a portable battery bank.

Have you tried connecting from a usb c hub instead of direct from Samsung Dex? Will it work?

Would be great to have iOS supporting it like dex

I need a couple of these for karaoke gigs. It would be nice to have light weight monitors instead of heavy little tvs.

I brought one and I don't regret it it's a live saver my son spends most of his time in hospital and some department don't have tv so I take this monitor along with fire stick and power bank a good one last us all day also he can conect Nintendo switch and we play two player 😀

Hi sir can you tell me a cheep portable monitor

For gamers does it have input lag compare to a normal monitor?

Can you use a usb a port on your desktop to usb C on the portable monitor to get a second screen?

Hi thanks for the information. Can you use this monitor as a main monitor while the laptop is closed?

I'd REALLY LOVE to see more smartphone manufacturers supporting audio/video output via USB-C and google adding the same keyboard/touchpad feature natively to Android itself or maybe something like we see on PCs: to duplicate, extend or just use one of the screens instead. For me at least it'd completely eliminate the need to carry a laptop. Hope it will become a reality soon, do you feel the same?

6th reason to get one, portable gaming for systems like the Switch or Xbox Series S. Be that for traveling (hotels dont enable ports on their TVs) or camping.

Gary, good video. Broke the screen in my Huawei Mate 20 X. Everything else works on it, ie you can ring it. If I plug the phone into this monitor will it come straight up or do you need to enable USB debugging (which I obviously can't). Many thanks

Here you go gents
1) Normal Stand w/ Pc
2) Xtend Laptop
3) TV with chrome stick
4) Monitor 4 video camera
5) Use with phone

I have a cool use-case. I play the piano and I have one right on the music stand - so it looks like it's a part of the piano. I have piano and music-recording software hooked to my piano - and it's super nice to have the screen right there in front of me 2-ft from my face. Piano sheet stands are usually super flimsy as they're usually designed to hold lightweight music sheets- so no way would I put a heavy computer on it (e.g. such as a Lenovo Yoga PC) and risk having it fall. My portable monitor (Viewsonic VA1655) is extremely light allowing me to put it directly on the music stand. Yes, 99.9% of people simply use their 32" PC monitor for such activities, but it looks "bad" when your piano + 32" monitors is just sitting right smack in the middle of your living room.

Can u show detail video how to connect/use my Samsung m31s mobile with viewsonic touch monitor with accessories required.

is there a monitor with battery, qled tech and with 17 inch size?

can i use this for a desktop pc?

Hi, will you do a video connecting a these 3 devices. That monitor, dslr camera and laptops?

what is the HDMI connector used in #1. Please help

Can you make it hook up wireless with your phone, i have a Samsung

can this use on iphone?

Good video, I use an INNOCN portable monitor with my MacBook for my daily works, it's powered by USB Type-C , impressive

I am planing to use it for a macMini.

Does it need a separate driver installed? My work laptop won't let me install any driver or software.

where did you get the bidirectional adapter for the firestick?

What about consoles like PS4 ? Compatible or not ?

I have an old 2013 Windows tablet, Asus Vivotab Smart ME400C, with only micro USB and micro HDMI ports available. Sadly the screen is cracked and the touch function is inoperable. Can I use this portable display as the mirroring device to restore the touch function of my windows tablet?

does this work from a pc usb slot (the pc does not need to be usbc as well)
and if the pc does need to be usbc can it work with usb to usbc adapter?

I use a portable monitor as a second screen with my desktop computer due to space constraints. My primary use is watching tutorial videos or reading tutorials or documentation on the portable monitor, while carrying out actual work on the all-in-one desktop monitor.
