VILVA 13.3" FHD OLED USB-C HDMI Portable Monitor

The VILVA 13.3 inch 1080p portable display is an actual OLED display because you can test it out multiple ways: Go to a pitch dark room and bring any IPS device like an old iPhone (SE2, SE3, iPhone 11, etc.). Find a pure black image or even a pure black video on youtube (yes these exists). You will see the display turn pitch black unlike super dark grey on IPS displays. The colors when set to "User" or sRGB, anything other than default which is heavy blue makes the display very vibrant. There's also "MURA" which are OLED flaws like faint streaks or greenish discoloration when showing darker scenes/videos. These flaws are different for every OLED panel. The one I got is fairly faint and very hard to see when you're not looking for it. Viewing angles are better than IPS. It is quite bright indoors at max brightness settings. For about $ 120, it's quite affordable but it does have a lot of quirks: The OSD is buggy. Sometimes it blacks out and resets itself when changing HDR, Variable Refresh, color space, etc. I had to replug it sometime because it would just be a pure black display with power lights on. I just stuck with SDR and messed with some of the OSD settings and I vastly prefer this over its HDR performance. Another YouTube reviewer also mentioned this but on a different OLED monitor. The OSD is now BUGGED and became a basic GUI that have lost some of its features like changing color space, etc. Still looks great. Never got VRR to work because it just resets the OSD everytime I use it. I'd rate it lower to 4 stars due to the buggy OSD if this was priced anywhere higher than $ 120. While far from perfect, the display is amazing for $ 120 and I do have experience with many types of displays like IPS, VA, FALDS, wOLED, Super AMOLED, etc. Edit (06/23/2025): Works so far with Nintendo Switch 2 but I only use it in the monitor's sRGB mode (non HDR) because it just looks much better this way, at least with my unit. It seems to bug out (intermittent black screen every now and then) when I use the 3.5mm audio port on the side of this 13.3 inch 1080p OLED display but it doesn't bug out if I directly use the 3.5mm audio port on the Switch 2 itself while the Switch 2 is docked. Still very happy with this purchase.

I had a feeling this monitor priced around 100 bucks and advertised as being OLED might be too good to be true, and I was proven correct - the box itself once received had ZERO mention of OLED, only FHD, and once I plugged it in was flickering constantly and had lines on the display, so faulty out of the box. I'm not wasting my time working with the manufacturer since Amazon let me return same day I received it. I'll bite the bullet for something with proper OLED that matches the OLED display on my HP Omen laptop. The flip-over case advertised as magnetic is also only PARTIALLY so in that it attaches to the back of the screen magnetically, but not to itself when you fold the cover back to function as the stand, so it was a little precarious and I could see it falling over. I was really hoping for a visual and lighter upgrade to my Asus zenscreen I've had for several years and was willing to compromise a few inches of screen real-estate to get there for a lighter bag, but this is super-disappointing to say the least...my search continues.

Great external monitor, I'm using it with my Rog Ally X, with a TB4 cable it delivers both display signal and power to the monitor. Great image, OLED HDR really makes the color pop. The monitor itself is very thin and easy to carry. The only complaint I have is the stand itself slips easily on surfaces.

While a decent monitor for the price, I don't believe it's actually OLED. I've run some black tests and it seems like a little bleed on the edge, but the manual (table on page 1) refers to it as an IPS panel.

This monitor is advertised as an OLED screen... it is not. HDR is available if you turn the DCR setting to "on" in the monitor settings. Overall the build quality is great and the screen functions as expected. I'm disappointed in the lack of OLED which is why I bought the screen in the first place. The screen is advertised as OLED in the title and description of the product. Edit: it is OLED (it appears to be), I was viewing content that was not actually totally black and that skewed my assessment of the screen. It has very deep blacks and is an all around great screen. Would recommend.

NOT OLED! This is false advertising. I knew as soon as I plugged this into my laptop that it wasn't OLED, because it hurt my eyes like crazy. A simple test proved that it's not OLED: open Paint, color dump black, and an OLED screen will not light up the black pixels at all. The black on this screen appears gray because the pixels are lit. As a regular screen, I'd say it's not bad at all...but the fact that they're claiming this is OLED to get a few extra bucks off it it ticks me off.

This review is for the 13.3" OLED model. I'm not sure if the problems listed here apply to the other models. My guess is probably for the firmware issues. My main issue is that some custom settings like the color temperature and contrast are stored on the device, but they are not used when the device is powered off and powered on again. If you go into the OSD again and look at the settings, you can see the values are still set to your chosen settings, but they're not in effect. Changing any of these settings even by one point will suddenly make all custom settings immediately take effect again, but it won't persist when the device is rebooted. The color calibration is a little off to my eye and the contrast is so high that it's affecting text legibility a little, which is why this annoying. I'm making do with some color calibration on the PC side. Another small issue is that Windows doesn't recognize when this monitor is off. That can be annoying if you want to keep this monitor off when not in use. I deal with this using Dual Monitor Tools to set up sticky mouse movement between monitors. It's also pretty glossy if that bothers you. I think I might try an anti-glare filter on it. In my case, this is only meant to be on occasionally when I need a secondary monitor for a video or chat feed. It's nice to have my secondary monitor be OLED like my primary monitor, and the price is hard to turn down for this use case. I'm probably sticking with it.

The monitor is pretty incredible for the price! Beautiful OLED screen that unexpectedly came with AMD Freesync! A nice bonus for my PC and Consoles. The display is 'just' 1080p but at 13" it is about as clear and pixel-dense as some modern iPads. Speakers are a bit meh but the fact it has any (at this price) is pretty great. The Audio volume settings is a bit hidden in the Menu's though. Build quality is outstanding too with a very nice stand. It also comes with a Mini-HDMI to HDMI, USBC to USBC, and USBC to USBA cables along with a charging brick if you want to connect via the Mini-HDMI plug! If you want to connect to a Mac or Laptop using the USBC 3.1 port it will run without the charger brick.

Feels like a quality piece of kit. It feels sturdy and has a good range of connections. It's nice to have a built in screen protector, but it does feel slightly quirky when used as a stand.

Advertise as OLED but in box says IPS pannel

This item is not HDR. It does not appear to be 1080P. I suspect it is not OLED. I have tried it with multiple devices and none see it as HDR. On 1080P, pixels do not line up properly. Avoid this product at all costs.
