Hello everyone, welcome to TV box stop, the channel for the best reviews in TV boxes,
mini PCs, and accessories.
My name is Nick and on today’s video I have a review of a portable monitor from the developers
of Lepow.
This is the Lepow 15.6 inch Type C, 1080p portable monitor.
These portable monitors are gaining popularity, as they provide a convenient way to super-size
your mobile display.
And the statistics show, that daily, over 80% of people are now using their mobile devices
for work and entertainment, but sometimes there’s the need to watch your mobile device
on a bigger screen in an easy, portable, and convenient way.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Any device that has an HDMI output can connect to this device such as laptops, MacBooks,
mini PCs, Blu-ray players, Desktop PCs, gaming consoles, set-top boxes, and whatever device
you have that needs an HDMI display.
So in this video we take a look at the features of this new portable monitor, and I’ll test
its picture and sound quality, and will see if this product is right for you.
Stay tuned you have that after the break.
So am back, and this is the box that it comes in.
It’s durable and protects the monitor during shipping.
It’s professionally well labeled and to the back you have some specifications.
It says that the production type is a type C portable display.
The net weight is 770g which is a 1.7 pounds.
The visual area of the screen is 344 mm x 194 mm.
The size of the monitor itself is 15.6 inches if measured diagonally.
It has an ISP display panel.
Its dimension is 368 x 225 x 8.8 mm.
It has an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This resolution is 1920 x 1080.
It has a display color of 16.7 million.
And a color temperature of 6800 Kelvin.
It has of viewing angle of H:85°/85° Min and V 85°/85° Min.
It has a contrast ratio of 1000:1.
And a brightness of 300 candela per square meter.
It comes with a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
And it comes with 2 1Watt built-in speakers.
So that’s what I called some detailed specs, and without further ado I’ll do a quick
unboxing on unpack its contents.
So in the box, you have the Lepow portable monitor and kickstand/carrying case itself.
You get one micro HDMI to full-size HDMI cable.
You get one type C to USB type A cable.
One type C to type C cable.
A 5V 2A DC power adapter.
You get a screen protector along with a cleaning cloth and solvents to assist in the installation.
And the last item is a user’s guide.
Let’s look at its design, button placement and ports.
The body is made of metal to allow the magnetic carrying case/kickstand to attach to it easily.
To the front you have the ISP display with the Lepow logo printed to the bottom.
To the left side you have one micro HDMI port.
One full function type C port.
A 3.5mm headphone jack.
And the left internal speaker.
To the right side you have a power button and LED power light.
A role key for accessing and navigating the menu.
A type C port for power input only.
And the right internal speaker.
To the back of the monitor is blank.
I will now connect this to a couple of devices and perform a picture and the sound quality
test, and I will also look at its menu settings.
So there are many devices that can connect this monitor but in this video I’ll only
be using two of them, because I literally don’t have all of the compatible devices
to connect to it.
The most popular way to apply this monitor is by connecting to a mobile device such as
your cellphone that has a type C port and mirror your display, or enter into the phone’s
desktop mode if it has that feature.
Most people have not yet learned the power of the desktop mode on their cell phones.
With the you can experience Android in a Windows desktop like layout.
The other cool thing about this set up is that your mobile phone powers the monitor
via its reverse charging mode, and to avoid draining your phones battery
during this setup, you have the option to connect the power adapter to the other type
C port that’s labeled as the charging port.
And the power adapter will power the monitor and charge your phone simultaneously.
And if you were wondering if there was a way to connect a regular keyboard and mouse and
use this desktop mode as a workstation, then that can be easily done with the use of one
of many type C hubs, such as this official Samsung Dex pad.
So to demonstrate this setup, I’ll connect the monitor together with a keyboard and mouse
to the Samsung DexPad, and utilize the Samsung dex desktop interface.
So combined with the Samsunng Dex pad the Lepow portable monitor allows you to run android
in a desktop like interface.
I have connected a wireless touchpad keyboard, I’ve also connected a regular wireless PC
mouse, and I have connected my Bluetooth gamepad directly to the cell phone.
So I’ll now perform some basic functions in this desktop mode to demonstrate some of
the things you can now do with your mobile phone connected to the Lepow monitor.
Another way you can apply this monitor is by connecting to an android TV box.
This can come in handy for persons who spend a considerable amount of time behind a desk,
or at a remote location and you have good Wi-Fi.
You can enjoy some movies and TV shows in you spare time, or even live sports and news.
So here I have it connected to an Android TV box, and I’ll now do a quick demonstration.
And finally let’s look at how to navigate its menu.
As shown earlier to the lower right of the monitor you have a roll switch.
From an idle state, if you roll down it will access the volume control.
Once it appears you roll switch up or down to adjust the volume.
Likewise, from an idle state if you roll up, it will access the brightness control.
And the same applies, you roll up or down to adjust the brightness.
And for advanced settings, from an idle state if you push the center of the roll switch,
you will access the advanced settings.
And from in this settings, you use the up or down the roll function, and press the center
function to navigate through the various settings.
So viewers there you have it, this was a review of the portable monitor by Lepow.
It works as it should the picture quality is HD 1080p as advertised.
Its design and build is strong, and the magnetic kickstand is built better than the last portable
monitor reviewed.
There are so many ways I can think of how you can apply this monitor, it’s really
left up to you to decide if this monitor is something that can be useful to you for work
or entertainment.
