cocopar Travel Monitor – Upgraded 15.6 Inch 1080P FHD HDR IPS Ultra Slim USB-C Portable Display with Kickstand Dual Type-C Mini HDMI Dual Speakers for Laptop PC Mac Surface Xbox PS4 Switch

I purchased two of these monitors for travel. I used the included USB C-to-USB C cables to connect a MacBook to one and a Surface Pro 7 to the other. Setup was just that easy—truly plug and play. Each monitor also included an HDMI-to-mini HDMI cable (for signal), a USB A-to-USB C cable (for power), a 5V 3A (thus 15W) AC power adapter, and a rather posh zippered case thats thickly padded. The monitor housings are metal, not plastic. For travel, I purchased a separate semi-rigid case (B0956DTNRD) that neatly holds both monitors back to back while protecting their screens. The combination of the case and the two screens weighs 2.6 kg—not featherweight but better than a lot of other options, plus minimal thickness because the two screens overlap cleanly. (The case has a thin separator to protect the finish of the monitors.) I dont store the cables with the monitors; cables get their own pouch. Registering with Cocopar provides a two-year warranty and a choice of four accessories. I chose the angle adapters so that the cables dont need to stick straight out of the sides of the monitors. Instead, they can nestle along the backs, out of my way. Cocopar promptly shipped the adapters...and they disappeared. According to the USPS, they were last seen in the vicinity of Fife, Washington. I informed Cocopar, and they immediately sent a second shipment, which arrived without incident.

I was a bit hesitant and skeptical about how well this thing would work when I first purchased it, but so far it has exceeded my expectations! I purchased it in lieu of a second monitor for my laptop because 1) I wanted something I could take with me to use outside of my apartment, and 2) my boyfriend didnt want a permanent standing monitor at our desk because our desk is tiny. So I opted to get a portable, foldable one instead, and I am SO happy with my choice! I fits in my backpack or any work-like bag, and it works well so far with my Macbook Air laptop. The screen/picture quality is good, not great, but that doesnt bother me at all since I just needed a second screen to get my law school work done on more than just my laptop screen. I love it and would recommend as a 2nd screen/monitor!

Pros: Double your screen real estate Can Power the monitor via USB-C without extra power source *May need power in certain circumstances* Magnetic screen protector/stand HD vibrant colors Cons: Speaker Volume weak No stand-alone volume button Whether completing work documentation, various work-related tasks, researching topics, streaming, or gaming, I likely spend more than 14 hours a day in front of a computer/tablet. With a growing need to multitask, one of the most considerable productivity upgrades was a second monitor. The dual monitors allowed me to open more panels and decreased the need to move back-and-forth between frames. Thus, it was an easy decision to upgrade my home setup by adding a portable monitor to my home computer. UNBOXING: The USB-C Portable Monitor arrived in a 15 3/4 inches long by 10 9/16 inches wide by 2 11/16 inches thick clean white retail box. The cover displayed an attractive silvery-metallic “Portable Monitor,” while the top/front panels provide the same information in bold black font. The left side panel was left unadorned, while the right-side panel provided a product SKU barcode. The bottom panel provided the Portable Monitor name along the top left of the panel and contact information along the bottom of the panel. I appreciated the clean white background, the shimmery metallic font, and liked the contrasting black-on-white theme. I lifted the top panel of the box, removed the thin white foam padding, the 13 3/4 inches wide by 7 3/4 inches tall (15 3/4 inches diagonal) screen protector, then the 2 pounds 6.7 oz portable monitor from the box. With the main product removed from the packaging, I lifted the 3/4 inches thick foam spacer and found a secondary foam layer with three cutouts. Along the top left of the panel, I found a 2 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/4 inches tall cutout, which contained the black-colored 1 7/8 inches tall by 1 5/8 inches wide by 1 inch thick Type A Wall adaptor with USB-A output. Just beneath the cutout, I found a second cutout, which measured 5 5/8 inches wide by 4 inches tall. The medium-sized cutout contained a black-colored, flat-style 39 3/4 inches long USB-A to USB-C power cable, and a matte-black 47 1/2 inches long rounded-plastic USB-C to USB-C cable. The final cutout was the largest of the three and measured 5 7/8 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches tall. The cutout contained the product user manual, 3-year warranty card, an upgraded accessories panel (monitor stand, portable battery, dongle adapter, streaming stick), two packets of screen protector installation kits (2 15/16 inches wide by 1 15/16 inches tall cardboard presser/scraper, a dust absorber, three guide stickers, and a 3 7/8 inches square microfiber cloth), and a 48-inches long micro-HDMI to HDMI cable. Installation: The 19-page instruction manual proved to be quite valuable. The first two panels provided similar information to the included accessory panel and added a protective sleeve to the possible upgrades. The third panel provided a list of the table of contents (About the Monitor, Using the Monitor, Troubleshooting, and Warranty and Support). The first segment, “About Your Monitor” (pages 1-3), provided a list of packaging contents (as listed above), then provided a helpful paragraph about each of the items. The second page provided a detailed product specifications panel (15.6inch screen size, IPS screen type, 1920×1080 resolution, 16:9 Aspect Ratio, 100% sRGB, 16.78 Million color depth, 9300K temperature, 300 cd/m2 brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio, 178 degrees horizontal and vertical viewing angle, 60 Hz refresh rate, 1.6 pounds, 14.8 x 8.8 x 0.2-inch dimensions, HDR support, Free Sync Support, 6W power consumption, Mini HDMI/3.5mm Audio Jack/USB-C port x 2 connectivity, 1W x 2 built-in speakers). The third panel provided a left and right side view of the monitor and the corresponding ports (3.5mm Audio Jack/Menu/Power/exit buttons on the right and mini HDMI, plus two USB-C output ports on the left). Similar to the previous panels, the instruction manual did a great job at detailing the features in prose format. The next panel provided utility information for the portable monitor and information about the ports (Mini-HDMI, USB-C (supports PD2.0 5-20V), USB-A (wall adapter). The subsequent three panels labeled “Connecting your Monitor” provided various picture/prose connection options. For a Laptop/PC with Type-C ports, use the included USB-C to USB-C cable and power adapter. For a Laptop/PC with HDMI ports, use the HDMI cable for A/V and use either the USB-A to USB-C between computer/monitor, or use wall power if needed. If the computer has a miniDP, you may need to purchase an adaptor. You can connect the device to modern gaming systems via HDMI and wall power, or you can connect the current generation portable gaming system via USB-C cable and wall power. You can connect the monitor to USB-C capable phones similar to the laptop example above, or you can purchase a separate adapter/dongle for phones that use proprietary charging ports. The user manual instructions proved to be quite detailed regarding the on-screen display (OSD). The panel provided a menu layout and reviewed the brightness/contrast, color settings, audio settings, other settings, and input source. You can use the menu/+/- button on the right side of the monitor to enter the OSD menu, use the +/- toggle to move up/down within the list, and then press the button to activate your selection. You can adjust each of the parameters, select between 4 image modes (Standard/Game/Movie(MY FAVORITE)/photo), adjust the screen tint ( 9300k, 6500k, sRGB, User), Hue, saturation, low blue light, and the color gamut (sRGB, Adobe RGB, DPI-P3, Native color). The low blue light mode reduces the ambient blue light, which breaks down natural melatonin, the sleep hormone. By reducing blue light, the monitor becomes less stimulating and may improve sleep. If you navigate to “Audio Settings,” you can mute on/off, or increase/decrease the volume. Under “Other Settings,” you can adjust the aspect ratio to full screen or 16:9, turn freeSync on/off, adjust the language,, adjust HDR to auto/off/2084, or reset to factory default. Through this panel, you can also adjust between the input sources Type-C or HDMI. The last few panels provided a detailed overview of the duplicate/extend/second screen options and provided a few troubleshooting steps. Testing: To test the monitor, I paired it with my 15 Laptop. I removed the magnetic cover from the monitor screen and laid the monitor down face up. I used screen cleaner/microfiber cloth to clean the surface, and I removed the thin layer from the top of the screen protector. I then laid the screen protector down onto the screen surface. I found a few bubbles along the outer edges, I lifted the edge of the screen with tweezers, then used the dust-absorber to remove as many of the bubbles as possible. Despite several attempts, I had about ten tiny bubbles along the periphery that would not go away. I did not feel that this was a negative aspect of the product, rather a problem with my installation technique. I plugged the power adapter into a standard wall outlet, the USB-A to USB-C cable from the adapter into the lower USB-C port, and the USB-C to USB-C cable between the monitor and my computer. I navigated to the System preferences on my laptop, then Displays. I moved the computer display and accessory monitor display from left to right, or I could hold the option key and drag it onto the computer monitor display to mirror the image. I did not find that feature useful unless I wanted to specifically show someone else what I was doing on the computer. When I moved files/folders to the second screen, I immediately realized the screen felt a little dark. I pressed the menu option, changed the brightness from 30 to 100%, and immediately appreciated the improvement. I liked the ability to control/adjust the settings, but I would have preferred a preset feature/memory and the ability to decrease the brightness. My Laptop provided sufficient power via USB-C to power the second monitor without a secondary power supply. However, If I plugged a pair of headphones into the 3.5mm port, I found that the power was a bit lacking. In that case, I needed to plug the monitor into the included USB-A/Adaptor to add the required power. I loved the intuitive button combination, the mini HDMI out, the added USB-C, the cable’s length, the magnetic stand, and the quality of the display. I did not miss that the screen was not a capacitive touch surface, but I had a similar issue with my computer. As I moved between my tablet and my laptop, I forgot that the screen was not touch-sensitive. I watched several movies through popular streaming services and enjoyed the quality of the videos. The sound was a bit lackluster, and I found headphones improved that limitation quite easily. I changed the mode to gaming mode and plugged my handheld gaming console into the USB port via USB-C and enjoyed the larger/portable screen. Similar to the video viewing experience, I enjoyed a lag-free gaming session. However, I did not like how the gaming mode changed the imagery to a more blueish hue. Instead, I turned it back to movie mode, and found the imagery more vibrant and warm. If I had a few wishes for the screen, I would have liked a stand-alone volume toggle that was not linked to the single button and more powerful speakers. Despite the request, I believe that the company created an amazing device and the OSD button/menu tree was well laid out and easy to navigate. I was pleased that they included the screen protectors and found the small bubbles beneath the screen protector did not detract from my viewing/streaming. Whether you wish to add an extra screen to your desktop, to a laptop, for a standard home gaming system, or for a portable gaming session, this extra screen will not let you down.

I got this to use as a second screen for my work laptop while traveling. It is so perfect for this and, as a bonus, I can also use it to watch movies from my phone!

Came well packaged; with all wires, components, and paperwork. All ports and inputs worked. Screen looked clean and clear. Have not used it for gaming or work purposes yet, will add comments after more use. 2 year warranty easily registered. Complementary item with Amazon review.

This review is based on my first impression, written within the first 30 minutes after connecting the monitor to my laptop. I will update my review if the monitor develops issues in the future. This is an amazing travel monitor. The display is large and everything on the display is very easy to read. The monitor can be powered by the included AC adapter’s USB-A to USB-C cable, or by plugging the USB-A to USB-C cable between the laptop and monitor, or by plugging the USB-C to USB-C cable between the laptop and monitor. My monitor is currently powered by the USB-C to USB-C cable between the laptop and monitor, and in this configuration the AC adapter is not required. I recommend purchasing a Mini HDMI Male to Standard HDMI Female adapter, just in case you decide to use it on another computer that does not have a Standard HDMI Female connector. Just be prepared. As you can see, you have options. Please note that I do not have a MAC or Desktop PC, I ONLY have a laptop. I connect my monitor into an HP EliteBook 845 G8 Notebook PC (i.e., a laptop). The monitor is larger than my laptop’s screen, and that is perfectly fine. I like the fact that a magnetic leather is included with the monitor. I wish the package included a screen protector, but that’s not a deal breaker and not a reason to take away any stars from my rating. I have not tested the speakers. I’m not a gamer so I am unable to give a review that relates to gaming. The screen is a matte finish, not shiny, and I like that. The colors displayed on the screen are magnificent. That’s my review for now, perhaps I’ll append to this review in the future. As for now, I HIGHLY recommend this product. 5-STARS!!!

Ordered this before traveling which was cancelled - ended up using it for 10 days stuck in master bedroom makeshift office and worked great!

I rarely write reviews here, but this thing is an all-time. I have a stack of mobile monitors that require a whole lot of cables and space. Buh-bye. This device is large and flat, with a clever cover/stand, an easy usb-c-to-c connection to your laptop for power and video, incredible little instruction manual, solicitous helpline, great all around. I bought mine for less than $100, which included all these things and a gift. It is quite mobile but I just ordered a second one for easier commutes. Even includes good cable connectors that might cost $40-odd to buy separately. Winner.

Recently used this monitor on a trip when I needed to get some work done. I love that it is so portable but quality like my monitor at home. I’ve got a Mac mini, so it means that I can use my actual computer when traveling instead of logging in remotely. It came with all the cords I need to hook it up anywhere. I love the USBc cord since it does power and visual/audio at the same time. Definitely a must buy.

I bought this monitor as I travel for work weekly (2-4 flights per week on average). I normally use three screens when I work from home. It fits perfectly in my 15 underseat carry-on on my flights. I love the picture quality and the ease of connection. The built in stand is fantastic and ensures that I dont have to pack an extra monitor stand in my carry on. Its well built and travels well. Having the sleeve included is a wonderful bonus, too. No issues with transport and I no longer worry about my screen getting scratched, cracked, or damaged. Customer service was also amazing! Setting up the warranty was quick and simple. They also proactively reached out to make sure everything was fine with my purchase. Highly recommend!
