Looks very good man, and definitely super useful to pair it when coding or being on the go! Only bit I would love is the bottom bezel to be a lot smaller and it would be great 👌🏽 But as you said as a budget option it’s a pretty good deal 🔥
This product comes with lots of packaging and having bought one I know why. It's not durable. It's portable but if you put in your back pack for meetings on a daily basis it lasted 6 weeks with absolutely no scratches and they don't provide any warranty on screens. I have since bought the Viewsonic VG1655 and it's bullet proof.
Monitor looks a great buy and great review Adam well done. Can you please clarify, can you connect the screen to a laptop just by the HDMI to Mini HDMI and have the USB C power come from a separate power socket (via an adapter plug)? Would that work as currently using my USB C DP port to run another monitor.
@@user-pi2qd5zr8b thanks yeah I don’t see why that wouldn’t work - I use the one cable but it’s the same as any device and I’d be confused if that wouldn’t work
@@thedeveloperadam Thankyou for answering and agree so have ordered one as what's especially good about this MSI one is it gives you the three ports rather than just a USB C DP connection which limits your options. Cheers.
Can you play the Switch on it too? I was thinking of getting one for my work laptop, but it'd be handy for the switch as well. Although, I'd probably need to use the Switch Dock and a HDMI to Mini HDMI cable right? Noticed you had one on the desk there and wondered if you'd tried it out.
I haven’t tried! I would assume yes but I haven’t tried. It has 2 usb c ports and the mini hdmi so if you used the dock and plugged it into it I’d assume yes but I don’t use the switch enough to know sorry!
The problem with these portable displays is that they are too expensive for what they do. Asus models are twice the price and not better. If you want to use a 15 inch display as a viewfinder like you said, it means 99% of the time you'll be in a studio, so why not buy a cheaper monitor which has 99% sRGB, not 53% like the MSI. There are led projectors at the same price with 65% sRGB and hdr in portable form factor. There are 11 inch tablets at the same price and 99% sRGB
Hey, I am not able to connect the msi portable monitor with my phone. I have nothing 2 I am able to project my laptop. Is there anything else need to be installed/done to project mobile screen
@@thedeveloperadam I am using nothing 2, also I am trying with my iphone 15 and OnePlus Nord, phone is getting charged only. And it keeps populating no signal on the monitor screen
@@DebasisMohanty-ug6li that’s weird it’s literally just plug and play for me? The phone shouldn’t be charged as the MSI doesn’t power out only power in
@@thedeveloperadam yeah that's wired, I just get it delivered today itself. I have tried a diff c type cable, the laptop is working fine, there is something I am missing to connect the mobile.
I’m literally just traveling and needing an external monitor for my coding labs, I bought one off amazon but I tend not to buy an electronics off amazon bc I don’t necessarily trust that they don’t contains viruses or some type of ransomware underneath

Really? I’ve had no issues yet but of course I haven’t been travelling with mine yet sorry to hear it, I’ll have to checkout the viewsonic!
can you connect you CPU directly to the Viewsonic portable monitor? Would love to hear more about that
You got scratches even though it was transported in the case provided?
It’s $200 more with the same tech specs so I’d hope the $100 price diff was for durability
Ok, you sold me on this monitor. As it’s less than £80 to buy now.
@@jameswilliams3046 wow that’s cheap as!

Everything looks great but the speakers seem too quiet for me
Yeah they are quiet guess there’s only so much you can pack into it I still think it’s decent for £120 but would of been nice if louder!

Since you mention cloud gaming 8:59 does this work with 5g phones with mouse and keyboard on some mouse keyboarded supported games on geforce now?
@@Asadc1995 you know I haven’t tried like this tbh!
Contrast looks very poor though.
@@armdrk3233 I think it’s fair for the price
