UPERFECT Portable Monitor 18.5 inch 120HZ 125% sRGB 1080P w/VESA & Stand, Large Portable Monitor FreeSync IPS HDR Gaming Display, HDMI USB C Travel Second Screen for Laptop MacBookCarbonfree Certified

I had high hopes for this portable monitor, but unfortunately, it didn’t meet my specific needs when paired with my iPad Pro 12.9” (4th generation). It only supports screen mirroring with this iPad model, which I found limiting for productivity. I reached out to customer service, and they were prompt and helpful in confirming that this iPad version isn’t fully compatible.That said, I tested the monitor with a Microsoft Surface, and it worked flawlessly. The setup was effortless—just plug and go—and the picture quality was actually better than what I saw with the iPad. The monitor itself is impressively lightweight and great for travel or tight workspaces. It comes with all necessary cables and an adapter, though the included cables are on the shorter side. You might want to have an extension cord handy if you’re planning to use the adapter. Like others have mentioned, you get better brightness when the monitor is directly plugged into power, which I do not mind because it also charges my devices.Overall, while it wasn’t a good fit for my iPad setup, it’s a great portable option for other compatible devices.

I have always found multiple monitors to increase my productivity when I'm at my desk. However, as an IT consultant I am often deployed to client sites for strategy meetings or proposal writing. My work involves spreadsheets, presentations, and lots of copying/merging of documents. So having a portable monitor (or two in my cases) on the road is enormously helpful.For a few years now, I have travelled with 2 15.6" monitors in addition to my laptop. I use two for my "working" spaces and the third I use in split-screen mode for my email and messaging applications so i don't miss important communications. While I do look like a total nerd, the setup never fails to impress my colleagues and clients. In fact, each time I visit a new client, someone gets so excited about my setup that they ask me where I got my screens and the price and by the end of the day they have ordered at least one. On the last trip, three people ordered screens (no joke).I have used a few different brands of monitors on the road. But last year I switched over to Uperfect. One is a 15.6" touchscreen model which is great for hands-on demonstrations. and the other is the standard 15.6" model. I really like them for a few reasons: 1) I hate when cables stick out of the sides. The inputs are recessed so they don't interfere with close arrangement of the monitors next to my laptop. 2) They are much thinner and lighter than other brands I have used and two fit easily along with my laptop in my backpack. Going through airport security is not that much of a hassle either. I grab all three with one hand. 3) The Uperfect customer service is unbelievable. I just ordered a 18.5" model when the stock was low and they reached out to me immediately to let me know there might be a delay while they restock. I had a few exchanges with them through Amazon and online and they responded very quickly. They apologized for the inconvenience and then it still arrived on time! Now I have connected the monitor to my home office as an additional monitor below my two main widescreen monitors. It is replacing my glossy 15.6" screen. The brightness is great, the text is sharp, and the matte finish is ideal for my workspace since I sit next to a bright window so no glare. I have decided that it works so well for me that I'm going to purchase another for the road.In short, this monitor is great and so is the seller. I highly recommend buying this monitor especially if you travel. It is totally worth it. Thank you Uperfect for your great customer support and your great monitor. You are welcome for the business I keep sending you too from my colleagues and clients!

NOTE: This is a review for the "UPERFECT Portable Monitor 18.5 inch 100HZ". Many reviews on this product page reference other UPERFECT portable monitors and as such don't align with the features of this monitor.For starters, this monitor does not come with a fold-over tablet-style cover that converts to a stand. Instead, it has an integrated kickstand, which is higher quality (more on that below). As such, this 18.5 monitor does not come with a cover at all. If you plan to take it in a suitcase, you'll probably want to get something to wrap around it. I bring this up, simply because the description of this product does not say it has a cover but many questions/answers and reviews from Amazon contributors say that it does. This, again, is because many reviews and Q&A on this page reference different monitors that do have that cover.I'm reviewing the product as-described by UPERFECT... I'm not docking it for not having a cover, because they don't advertise it as such.Cover - Is the lack of a cover for this 18.5 a big deal? For me, I do need a cover. However, this is such a great monitor at a reasonable price that having to find a way to protect it in-transit is a minor and acceptable trade-off.18.5 - Wow. This is a game-changer for me. I used to use a similar (different brand) 15.6 portable monitor. That's been great when I am traveling for work, because I have the type of job where it's a major drag to try to get anything done on a single laptop screen. The extra space on this monitor makes doing work from a desk in a hotel that much better.Brightness - My old (other brand) 15.6 was fairly dim. White pages looked pretty yellow. I made that work and it was fine. But this 18.5 monitor can go very bright, honestly, I think it's brighter than my laptop screen.Kickstand - The integrated kickstand on the 18.5 is vastly superior to the convertible cover-stand concept in most other portable monitors. The kickstand is solid and provides a wide range of angle setups. This is a big improvement over the tablet-style convertible cover/stand, which only provides one fixed angle.VESA Mounting - This is a nice feature, allowing this 18.5 monitor to be used in a home office as a third monitor, including vertically, and then easily taken down for travel when needed. This effectively expands the uses for this monitor.Ports - I also note that the USB-C and Mini HDMI ports are on the left side of this 18.5 monitor. Many others have them on the right. I always use my travel monitor on the right side of my laptop (to preserve my laptop screen as the 'home' with the portable monitor extending to the right). To me, this is the logical and natural configuration. Having the ports on the left of the portable monitor is much better.Extended/Duplicated Displays - Using Windows 10, my other (different brand) 15.6 potable monitor is unable to be duplicated to an external display. However, this 18.5 portable does that perfectly. In preparation for this review, I did a test to make sure I wasn't seeing things. Explanation: When I'm on the road, sometimes I need to connect to a larger projector or TV in a conference room via HDMI. In this setup, I have my laptop connected to the portable monitor and the TV or projector connected via HDMI. What I want and expect is to be able to setup my display settings so that my portable monitor in front of me on the table is duplicated onto the TV/projector that everyone in the room can see. This 18.5 monitor can support that setup. My other (different brand) monitor could not. I'm sure most can, but this one for-sure can.Bottom line: I'm very pleased with this UPERFECT Portable Monitor 18.5 inch 100HZ.
