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

Great monitor overall—excellent colors, perfect blacks, and a clean picture. The 2880x1800 resolution is a bit odd though. On weaker machines, it doesn’t scale cleanly down to 1200p like 4K does to 1080p. If you need to ease the load, keep it at native resolution and use DLSS or FSR (Performance mode) instead of lowering the resolution. Running it at 1200p still looks fine, just a little soft. For regular desktop use or word processing, it works great. Thanks to OLED's per-pixel lighting, it's nice to drop the brightness or use a warmer background color at night and not have a glaring backlight keeping you up. The brightness indoors goes beyond what I'd suspect most people would need. I keep my screen between 30–50% brightness; 100% exceeds my needs. I’m running mine through my laptop’s DP-Alt USB-C port. It pulls more power than a 1080p IPS at higher brightness, but nothing extreme. It comes with an adapter and cables, though I use a 45W USB-C charger I already had with no issues. Just check your port speeds; mine only does 10Gbps, which limits it to 2880x1800 @ 100Hz instead of the rated 120Hz. That’s a laptop bottleneck, not the monitor’s fault. Compared to a 144Hz 1080p IPS, the trade-off is worth it. Picture quality and contrast crush it. I’d still prefer 16:9 over 16:10, but this one’s been great otherwise. The speakers are better than most in this range, the design feels more solid, and the glossy screen is easy to clean. It’s reasonably light, durable, and well-priced for what you get.

I’m got this Newsoul 16” 4K portable monitor. The brightness really stands out — the screen stays clear and vibrant even in bright rooms or near windows. The 4K resolution contrast make text crisp and colors rich, which is great for spreadsheets, documents, streaming, and light gaming. The screen reduces glare and has wide viewing angles. Setup was easy with USB-C (plug and play with my laptop). It’s slim, lightweight, and easy to carry in a bag, making it perfect for travel or working remotely. Overall, an excellent portable monitor with outstanding brightness and image quality.

Excellent OLED monitor for the price and portability. It can be used with a single Thunderbolt (or other DP Alt mode USB-C) cable with a brightness cap at 15%, but I have rarely had to go above that for my needs since the display is already quite bright. An AC power adapter is included if you prefer the power stability or have to use HDMI instead. It's not mentioned anywhere in the product description for some reason, but the monitor also is a touchscreen. From what I've gathered, I think that these are touch-capable Samsung OLED panels, making them very high quality. I was able to achieve the advertised 2880x1800 at 120 Hz across Windows, Mac, Android (Samsung DeX) and Linux. By far, Mac required the most tinkering for comfortable use. Note that this IS a 16:10 display rather than a 16:9 display, so some fullscreen media will not use up all of the vertical real estate on the screen. Still, everything looks great on this monitor, from watching TV to reading to playing video games. Originally, I was hesitant to get an OLED monitor because of the fear of burn-in, but it has been about 8 months and I have yet to experience even a hint of burn-in. As the description states, it is indeed VESA compatible--I have it mounted to a monitor arm--though you will have to get smaller screws than usual (M4 x 4mm). Still, the included folio case isn't bad, though the nature of a folio case limits the angle at which you can tilt it. NEWSOUL customer support was extremely helpful and responsive when I needed a replacement AC power adapter due to a coil whine I was hearing when the monitor was turned off, so I highly recommend reaching out to them if you have issues with your monitor or any of the accessories.

This review is my user experience regarding to Newsoul Portable 4K 16" Monitor (Model #: M1620). It is as described with high brightness, an Aluminum Alloy Shell, excellent contrast, immersive viewing experience, and lightweight, as well as plug-and-play. 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. Update: after 5 months, a small crack occurred at a corner although I don't count it as a quality issue. I just had a replacement with UPERFECT 4K 16" 1200 Nits Portable Monitor (model: 16006DD), which appears to be exactly the same model as Newsoul Portable 4K 16" Monitor (Model #: M1620) except the packing box printed with different brand name.

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.

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.

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.

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.
