Newsoul 4K Portable Monitor 1200Nits Ultra Bright 16'' Laptop Monitor 2000:1 Contrast Fast IPS Matte Screen with USB-C HDMI VESA, Slim External Screen for Laptop/Phone/Game Console/Office/Travel

The monitor is very good. It comes with 2 type-c, 1 mini hdmi, 1 plug head, and 4 vesa screws. The screws provided are the right ones to mount the monitor to a monitor arm, so this is very helpful. The monitor also comes with a cover that can be used to hold the monitor and it is of good quality. The thickness of the monitor is slim and you could just slip it right in your bag, no problem. For connectivity, you will have to connect a type-c for power and hdmi for display. i was also able to connect with only type-c directly to my macbook, so this eliminates the amount of wires used. This also holds true for PS5. Connect your PS5 to a power supply as usual and connect a type-c from the PS5 directly to the monitor and you can use it as it is. However, this is not a recommended way because I’m afrad this will overload the type-c hole of the monitor and short-circuit. Maybe it could happen if the monitor is used this way for a very long period of time (like 24 hour non-stop maybe). I have tried the monitor with my macbook pro (2016) and a PS5, and it works very well with both of them. For the macbook, there is no problem whatsoever. Very smooth and the screen is VERY VERY GORGEOUS. As for the PS5, the output is very nice and it enables the 120hz output, and this runs very smoothly. You can adjust the brightness and volume as usual. Overall, this is a very good portable monitor and I really recommend other people to get it, especially if you are in need of a portable monitor to be used as a side for a laptop and a monitor for gaming.

I bought two of these 18" monitors to use while traveling (by car), since I don’t like working from just my 15.6" laptop screen. These were a great solution! They’re very easy to set up: just connect via USB-C and you’re good to go. To be able to use two at once, I also bought an adapter. The weight is light enough for travel but still feels sturdy and well made. I was really impressed with the picture quality: sharp, bright, and clear. The sound is decent for a portable monitor, which was a nice bonus. Overall, I’m very satisfied. They perform exactly as I hoped, and even though they’re a bit pricey, I think the quality makes them worth the investment.

I bought this monitor because it claimed to be bright, and I wanted something that would pair well with my 5K iMac display, which is one of the better panels out there. I had a similar 16" 2560x1600 monitor that I used with my other Mac setup and wanted something at least as good. This edition (4K, 3840x2400, 1200 nits) appears to be a well made product. It comes up as 1920x1200 on the Mac (3840x2400 becomes 1920x1200 due to quad pixel density), which is a good size for readability and very sharp. I use it as a secondary screen for reading a lot of code and text, and the readability is very good, with sharp text on a deep black background. I use the USB-C cable to my Mac, and that provides both power and connectivity. A right angle USB cable helps make the monitor look better. It does flash a poorly worded message at startup that I believe may be related to less than full power from a single USB-C cable but it goes away in a few seconds. It does not flicker and is plenty bright. I run it at 70% brightness and it is similar in brightness to my Mac display, though I run the Mac at about 70% brightness also. This is not an HDR display (does not even have HRD as an option). Minor complaint: It is a little thicker than some of the portable monitors that are out there, but I don't use it for that purpose. In general, this is a strong choice. Also, it appears to be made by the same factory in China that make the UPerfect brand of monitors because the box, packaging and internal cables look identical.

This review is my user experience regarding to Newsoul Portable 4K 16" Monitor (Model #: M1620). It is as described with high brightness, excellent contrast, immersive viewing experience, and lightweight, as well as plug-and-play. But I don't believe that it is an [Aluminum Alloy Shell Portable Monitor] as described. The monitor body shell looks like, feels like, and sounds like a plastic shell. It connects and works with my 2024 14" MacBook Pro M4 Pro, but it doesn't connect with my iPhone 14. The small Power On/Off Button, and the small Pulley Button for setting are not intuitive to use. You have to read the instruction manual first to understand how the buttons function, such as what a long press or a short press will do. I note that I can use just a single USB-C cable connecting the monitor to my MacBook Pro and to make the monitor working. However, if you want great user experience, such as sufficient speaker volume, and brighter screen, you do need the 30W Power Adapter and the other USB-C cable for additional power. The PU magnetic case works ok both as a protecting case and as a supporting stand. But the case as a stand, will take quite a desk surface space. I'm glad that I'm using a desk top mini tripod stand instead to support this lightweight monitor. You can set the monitor to different aspect ratios. Aspect Ratio 16:10 is what I want to match with the aspect ratio of my MacBook Pro.

I bought this monitor as an accessory to my work setup since it's the perfect size to keep on the side. Do note that it's a 4K resolution with 60hz refresh rate monitor so I do use it strictly for work. I actually went on a recent trip and was able to bring just this monitor and my laptop and was able to work flawlessly as well, and it's extra convenient given the magnetic case that it comes with to get it standing on its own. The text clarity, resolution, and color makes it optimal for work personally since I can fit a lot and have it be legible (not blurry). The refresh rate and resolution makes it ok for console gaming and I've also plugged it into my S24 Ultra and it worked with DeX perfectly as well. Overall, it's a great monitor at a great price that fits exactly what I wanted it for.

The Newsoul 3k OLED portable monitor is an excellent display and product. Screen Quality: A prime example of OLED technology. Saturated colors and perfect blacks. Completely blows any IPS display out of the water. This screen gets plenty bright, although, the glossy coating means you should keep this indoor. Use this monitor in SDR. HDR content is best suited for displays that can reach brightness far in excess of the advertised 500 nits. If you are worried about color performance, you cannot beat infinite contrast and saturation of OLED. Stick with SDR. The display is very sharp with a PPI (pixels per inch) of 212 — higher than a 27" 4K monitor (163 PPI) and just shy of the MacBook Air's 224 PPI. As with most portable monitors, VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) or FreeSync is not supported. To avoid screen tearing, lock your framerate to a supported refresh rate (60Hz, 100Hz, or 120Hz). Onto Connectivity and Usage: No need to mess with settings, just plug in the video USB-C and power cable. Colors look great out of the box but if you want to adjust the RGB or sharpness, that is available in OSD. Mini-HDMI port works fine, but doesn’t offer enough bandwidth for 120Hz at native resolution. To unlock the monitor’s full resolution and refresh, (2880x1800 at 120Hz), use a USB-C cable. Also, connect a power cable. Value for money: A great deal at 250 dollars. The 4k OLED portable monitors go for more than 400 dollars or even as high as 700 dollars. The 4k OLED portable monitors also are only 60 Hz, similar to the 1080p ones. So you get both a high resolution and higher refresh for less money with this product. My Takeaway Initially, I experienced a screen issue, but Newsoul’s customer support resolved it quickly and professionally. That, combined with the excellent product quality, made this a positive experience.

UPDATE: after owning this monitor, I'm also experiencing the black flicker every few minutes. I've tried multiple cables (including the ones that came with it) as well as multiple power adapters (including the one that came with it). It changed nothing and my screen is still flickering. DO NOT BUY Honestly fantastic quality of a portable display. The picture looks fantastic, the resolution is great, and the refresh rate is perfect for gaming. I'm using it as a portable display for my Legion Go and it looks awesome. The power draw is a bit big, but you CAN drive it with a portable handheld, you just need to drop the brightness down a bit (I set mine to 70%). If you want it max brightness, you'll have to plug it into the wall most likely. I don't mind running it a little less than max if that means I can use it with just one cable out of the handheld to the display. I'm not sure about durability, as the display is glass, and the quality of glass isn't stated. I'm sure if you dropped it or hit the front of it, it would shatter so make sure you have some kind of protection for it during travel, and be a bit careful lugging it around. The HDR is also hit or miss, I just leave it off as it seems to produce an extremely oversaturated result, you can find video examples online. For the price it's worth it and actually mind boggling to get a portable 120hz OLED for around $250 bucks.

Love this monitor, it's perfect for my needs. I use it with my phone instead of a laptop. It has clear, high quality picture, and works perfectly with Samsung Dex allowing me to have a full desktop experience on the go. It comes with a protective sleeve that doubles as a stand for the monitor, making it super easy to use. It comes with a charger, 2x USB C to USB C cables and 1x Mini HDMI to HDMI cable allowing easy connection to any device. It has power pass through, so if plug in the monitor and then I connect it to my phone, then it charges my phone, which is great.
