Excellent Monitor for the Price. Gets the Job Done. (CHECK VIDEO UPLOAD)
I have been searching well over a month for a portable monitor and decided to go with this one based on the reviews and price. I have to say, for my first dive into this market, I am pleased with my purchase. Although Lepow is not a well known manufacturer, in America at least, it appears to deliver in its specifications.
Pros:
1. Lightweight
2. Satisfying picture quality
3. In-the-box accessories included, along with slim cover.
4. The price is unbeatable.
5. Works with all of my devices (Xbox One, Xbox 360, Tab S4, Mate 10, Note 9, Dell XPS 15).
Cons:
1. Speakers could be louder.
2. Not true HDR; Settings for HDR are washed out, not sure what the setting "auto" does in HDR mode.
3. Not sure why sometimes the menu settings are greyed out and therefore not selectable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. (This may be an oversight on my part but If I want to raise the backlight setting, why am I not able to select it at times?)
Overall, I would recommend this device for anyone who wants to dip their feet in the portable monitor pool but does not want to spend over $200.
I would also suggest buying a mini hdmi to hdmi adaptor to make it a bit easier on you when switching from multiple game consoles.
UPDATE: If you set the HDR mode to auto you won't be able to control the brightness, black levels, and sharpness, it will be greyed out. I have moved my review to 5 stars after I figured that out and the fact that LEPOW actually sent me an email for troubleshooting the monitor.
