    Any reviews on this?

      Would seem to be a very niche product.

      • Salmando on 23/03/2025 - 18:08

        I like the idea of it.. i think. My gut says it's absolute garbage though, so i need reviews

        • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 20:01

          Seems great so far.

          The speakers on it are garbage, and appear to add quite an amount of thickness to the bottom section of the screen unfortunately.

          My s23 ultra and my dell xps laptop both power the display, s23 doesnt seem to detect the toych screen though which is disappointing.

          Screen brightness seems awesome, but ive only tested it in the night so far.

          For a 15.6" screen, it seems pretty light (though this is my first portable screen, so dont have a benchmark for comparison)

          The pleather cover doubles as kickstand which has been sturdy enough on hard flat surfaces, but i can imagine a half hearted bump could knock the kick stand off balance.

          For me personally as a "nomad" consultant who functions majority out of his backpack/working at client sites, I'm confident right now this will be a great investment for me.

    • Orican on 23/03/2025 - 18:04

      Has anyone purchased it and could kindly share their feedback and experiences with us?

      another cheap monitor seems to have many negative reviews: https://www.bigw.com.au/product/aiwa-24-edgeless-full-hd-ips…

      • Kyx on 23/03/2025 - 18:11

        the complaints were about the monitor not having speakers. Is that a standard expectation now?

        • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 20:11

          I hope not, because the speakers on this akai one are trash

      • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 20:52

        See my response above for my 2 cents

    • Orican on 27/03/2025 - 02:26

      Has anyone purchased and shared their feedback or experiences with Android budget phones (non-Samsung), such as Optus X Mas, Optus Xpro 5G, Optus Moto E32, and Optus Oppo phones? Is it possible to install Samsung DeX or a similar app on these budget phones to enable touchscreen functionality? Additionally, which app would be the best choice to optimize touchscreen performance for budget phones?

      • Churna on 27/03/2025 - 12:34

      Unfortunately not, but certain android phones can be converted to a chromebook with one of these.

            @whyisave: Yeah I know about Dex but I don't have any Samsung phones, only other brands. Dex isn't exactly a chrome book anyway, it's still its own thing

    Would these be any good for flights just to link up to your smart phone? Or am I better off going with a tablet.

    • u u on 22/03/2025 - 21:13

      Go for the tablet. Itll be a lot cleaner than having a mess of cables for the battery and the phone

      • GreenRomeo on 22/03/2025 - 21:29

        Tablets at this size would be a lot more expensive though.

      Don’t think your phone can power this on. Power banks are already banned or will soon be banned for use on airplanes.

    • GreyChris on 22/03/2025 - 23:37

      HD is 720p. 1080p is "full HD".
      Yeah there are higher resolution standards than 1080p e.g 4k is 2160p however 1080p is synonymous with "full HD".

      • john676 on 24/03/2025 - 14:09

        So 4k is more than full HD?

        Fuller HD.

        • xoom on 24/03/2025 - 14:37

          So 8k is fullest HD?

          • GreyChris on 24/03/2025 - 20:17

            @xoom: 16k can be "Most Fullerest HD". 😂

    Hi. Has anyone bought one and can confirm if it has VESA mounting holes and anything in manual about brightness. Thx

    • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 19:49

      No vesa mounting holes.

      Brightness is pretty bloody awesome from my testing so far but it is night time. I'll check it theres any lumen specs in the manual shortly

      • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 20:11

        No brightness in the specs unfortunately

  • nsavi on 23/03/2025 - 19:26

    I just got it home but I can’t connect to macbook or ipad. It just says No Signal

    • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 19:50

      Are you connecting the "usb-c" usb-c port, or the usb-c 5v 3a port?

      Connecting the "usb-c" port to a usb-c port on my dell xps powers it and sends the hdmi signal across too.

      • nsavi on 23/03/2025 - 20:33

        I connected usb-c from a Lenovo laptop to the middle usb-c port on this one but still no luck

        • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 20:50

          Maybe try press and hold power button on the left hand side.

          Might be worth also checking the usb-c port on the device provides enough power (some laptops also need to be set to output power in BIOS settings)

          • nsavi on 24/03/2025 - 17:50

            @davery22: It needed to be on just the USB-C (not USB-C with power) to work (windows and mac worked)

            Still cant get it to work with an ipad.

  • davery22 on 23/03/2025 - 19:48

    For those interested. I've tested my s23 ultra. It powers the screen and runs samsung dex. Though my phone doesnt seem to pick up the touch screen which was disappointing.

    Got one of these, pretty happy it comes with a 3-year warranty and this was what made me pull the trigger. Tested so far on my laptop and s23Ultra, DEX kicked in and touch worked straight away (connected and powered from my s23Ultra). So far I'm impressed for the price !

    So far, it's working as a trackpad for my Motorola mobile and the PC. Nothing displaying on the screen (just blackness).
