KOORUI Portable Monitor 15.6 Inch 1080P FHD Portable Laptop Display IPS Second Screen USB-C HDMI Travel Monitor w/Protective Cover & Dual Speakers 15B1

Out of the box the fit and finish and magnetic flap/stand all feel very high quality.Without reading the manual (which wouldn't have helped anyway), I figured out how to plug it in and get it up and running in Windows 11. Pretty intuitive and well integrated process.My 13 inch HP spectre has 2 USB-c ports. This monitor also has 2 USB-c ports. A single cable between them will work with any pair of ports. however in that case the brightness is limited at 50% due to power limitation. By connecting the laptop charger to the Koorui monitor, and with a single USB-c cable leading back to the laptop, there's no longer any power limitation and I can get 100% brightness and 100% volume. The pleasant surprise for me was the single display cable, also *back charges* the laptop, although at a low wattage. I can leave the laptop in high performance mode, and the battery drains only very very slowly and can last at least 2 days.I bought two of these Koorui's, the second one used HDMI to mini HDMI with Windows 10, on an eight year old laptop. That also worked flawlessly. However, a second USB-c power source was needed to turn on the monitor at all (which it would do at full power), because HDMI doesn't deliver power.These Koorui monitor feel more comfortable to read than either of my laptops (one of which is a high end 4k screen). It has a matte finish and nice looking black to white transitions, making photos look very natural. I really like the colors and reading experience.The only downside I found was the manual. It repeats hazard warning in six languages, but doesn't tell you you need to hold down the power button for a few seconds to turn it on, because the power button doubles as menu and select button. The entire monitor settings UI is handled with only 3 buttons. It work well once you figure it out, but the "manual" doesn't have a single mention of any of this. Nor does it discuss compatibility and power requirements. Why try so hard at making a great product, but remain at such an amateur level writing the manual? That's the thing that bugged me.For gaming you only get 60hz refresh, so I haven't tried it for gaming and don't plan to use it that way. For remote learning and remote meetings, a highly portable second screen is a really nice thing to have. Overall for the extremely friendly price, I really appreciate being able to purchase this product.

I have ordered this as a second monitor for my laptop. Great size, easy to operate, basically plug in and play. Comes with USB-C for power and HDMI to Mini HDMI cord required for video/audio. The built in speakers aren't the loudest but i do.not use them. The quality of the video is really good, no delay. The adjustable brightness and color warmth is there as long as you use HDMI cord. If you use USB-C for your audio/video input, the brightness is limited to 50%. So far this product is meeting my requirements at an affordable price!

This portable monitor has a pretty good picture quality. The sound is not bad. It fit’s in my bag and easy to setup when I’m not working from home.Overall, for the price, I would recommend to anyone looking for a basic, easy to carry monitor.

I purchased these monitors in July, and due to moving hadn’t had a chance to hook them up until August. Upon hooking them up (both powered and HDMI’d to a USB-C multiport adapter to my MacBook) they seemed to work ok, and I got power and visual to both monitors and my laptop.Just tried them for the second time about 2 weeks later and now both monitors will not work correctly. When I have both the power and HDMI plugged in, the power shuts off and I get nothing. When I disconnect the HDMI cord either from the monitor itself or the multiport adapter, it powers on. Plugging the HDMI back in shuts the monitor off again.I have trued different HDMI cords that I had around the house and get the same result. I have tried plugging the power into a separate power source and get the same result. Tried a different multiport adapter, still getting the same result. I cannot have the HDMI plugged in the same time as the power, which obviously renders these things useless.I am unfortunately past the return window through Amazon, otherwise these would be heading right back as they are either defective or just junk. I have reached out to Koorui support to see if they can help, but I’m not holding my breath.I would avoid these monitors, as the concept is great, but they just seem to be of shoddy quality. I could maybe understand one of the 2 monitors I purchased having this issue, but both behaving the same way leads me to think they are just junk across the board.

Very usefull

I only used this a few times and plugged it into my PC to get my second screen which it was intended for and now it doesn’t work. The name of the company comes on the screen and it just completely turns off and I keep hitting the on and off switch and I get nothing. My PC doesn’t even recognize this screen at all. I probably wouldn’t purchase it again. It’s a great concept if it worked for What it was intended for.

This is a great and affordable Portable Monitor and I probably would purchase it again. I do like that the vendor emails you additional information about the monitor but I do hope they make improvements. For example, the two cords you use are only long enough to have the portable monitor on the left-hand side because that is where they plug in. I like having my portable monitor on the right-hand side so the cords either need to be longer or the monitor needs plug-ins on both sides. Every time you turn it on, it defaults to factory settings. This means you have to adjust the Sound and Brightness every time and the buttons are not user-friendly to make those changes. I wish it would remember the last setting so you don't have to spend time personalizing it each time you plug it in. In addition, once you plug in, the sound from your laptop defaults to the portable monitor, and the speakers only go 50%, so if you are on a Zoom or Teams call you can barely hear the people talking. I tried to change the settings and after 5 minutes I ended up unplugging the portable monitor just so I could hear people. Other than those three things, the display, size, and convenience of having a second monitor are great and I hope future versions of this monitor will be improved to make it more user friendly.
