5.0 out of 5 stars It works great and is EASY to set up

I am using this to connect to my Samsung Book Pro laptop. Both of these units have very slim profiles, which makes it a nice desktop experience after having larger computers for so long. I love that I can close up my laptop AND now my side monitor and take them with me; no more hassle. Both screens are now in sync in terms of display resolution and size, making viewing and moving apps between them a breeze.
I highly recommend this KYY Portable Monitor to anyone who needs/wants a secondary monitor that functions well and looks great.

I needed some additional screen real estate while working on my Mac book Pro. This was a great affordable option. I have used my iPad with side car, but this screen blows it out of the water. Easy setup, plug n play. Easy to carry. The one thing I will say is that at first I thought that I would have an issue with the brightness, but after playing around with the settings I found that turning off the HDR setting does the trick. Mine came with it defaulted on and the colors and brightness were really muted. Turned it off and it looks just as good as my Mac book Pro! Now let's see how long this bad boy holds up.

This monitor is very bright and performs well with my Samsung laptop when I travel. It is very thin, lightweight, and the magnetic cover keeps the monitor safe. I purchased a separate stand to lower the space taken by the monitor. I strongly recommend this monitor for travel.

tl;dr The KYY 15.6" 1080P portable monitor is an excellent product that exceeded my expectations for a $159.99 portable monitor. Sure, there are monitors with better picture quality or build for more money, but at this price, this was an absolute steal.

Longer review.
The KYY 15.6'' FHD 1080P Portable Monitor was a good deal for $159.99 in terms of price point and features when I initially looked at it before buying. The product page is accurate in its features and capabilities unlike others with a lot of excess and useless information.
I was initially looks at this portable monitor for use with my Nintendo Switch and an Elgato HD60 S capture card. It worked excellent when directly connected to the Switch as well as when used through the Elgato HD60 S to the Switch.
The connectivity and controls are flexible and easy to understand, just from the product page as well as from the manual. The power button and control wheel are simple enough to use without any problems. There were no loose or intermittent signals when using the 3.5mm (headphone) jack. The USB-C power (cable and adapter) and HDMI cables worked flawlessly.
I must note that I did not attempt to use the USB-C full function capabilities as I did not have my laptop with this capability nearby to test this, but considering the rest of the monitor's build quality, I assume that there would be no problems if connected to the appropriate devices.
The included accessories have a good feel for what's included. The smart cover, the cables and power adapter, and the screen protector all have a quality feel that seems like they didn't skimp out much, if at all, with these pieces.
The picture quality is sharp enough, and the color accuracy is good enough out of the box. However, it is advisable, like most other monitors, to adjust the monitor's picture settings to be more color accurate or suited to your own tastes. I adjusted the picture settings manually to better match the monitors I have with my desktop PC to keep consistent color reproduction as much as possible across this portable monitor and my three desktop monitors.
The 3.5mm (headphone) jack outputs the audio with a clean signal to the Elgato HD60S as well as to my audio interface (Focusrite 18i20). There was no distortion during my typical use. The built-in speakers are about as good as any monitor. Cheap, tinny, and quiet quality but good and clear enough. It's just like a phone speaker. It's good enough to understand what's coming through, but nothing like a proper speaker or headphones will give.
Finally, I will talk about my personal gripes with this monitor. Firstly, The picture quality doesn't have a good spot for contrast and sharpness in my opinion. I'm no expert, but despite fiddling with the settings, I never found a setting I felt fully comfortable with. Second, the monitor's smart cover is magnetic and can only hold the monitor with the KYY logo at the base. It's a minor convenience for my uses, but it would have been nice to place it upside down because the monitor can auto-orient anyway. Lastly, the 4' cable is short for my use case. Again, like my other two issues, it's more of a personal problem, but a 6' cable would have been nice.
Despite my personal "issues" with the product, which are really just quality of life preferences, the KYY 15.6'' FHD 1080P Portable Monitor is an excellent product and well-worth the price at $159.99.

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid affordable portable monitor.

Update as of 05/12/2024.
After three months of relatively heavy use, I can say that this is a great value. I have used this for discord and spotify with my gaming rig, with my Xbox series S and my work laptop. It's not fancy but it does the job. If you just need some extra screen space that can go where you need it, this is a great value. The speakers are the only big weak point. If you have a mid range smart phone or higher those speakers are WAY better. I would have rather they left them off and saved even more money since they are wimpy 1 watt units. Thank goodness for the 3.5mm jack.

I will keep my review short as possible as I have only used this for a few hours. I will update on longevity. The build is surprisingly solid for the current sale/coupon price about $80. It has two USB-C ports, one power only and one power and video. It also has a mini-HDMI port. It also has a headphone jack and two admittingly weak speakers. The panel is very nice. 1080p at 60hz is plenty for my use. This is essentially a second screen for Discord, Twitch and Spotify. I also plan to use it for my Xbox Series S for travel purposes. Overall I like that KYY didn't try and cram 120hz that is not true 120hz or include a crappy panel just to say they have features. Longevity is yet to be seen but based on other reviews it seems like KYY stands by their product. Hopefully we don't have to test that. I plan, pending further testing, on getting a second. P.S. smart cover is good but I have mines on a separate stand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good product with major problem (Updated)
Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2021

Updated from 3 stars to 5 since their customer service team promptly sent a replacement and I haven't had issues since!

This is a decent product for its price, except for one major issue I had that made it unusable (see my tragic tale below). I probably gave it too many stars because I really want to like it and most everything else seems good about the product.

Pros:
-Great price
-Very portable and light
-Perfect size for travel
-Easy to set up and use
-Comes with multiple adapter cables
-Brightness response time is fine for office work

Cons:
-Has to be plugged in to be used (no internal battery). Although, you can just plug the USB power cable into your laptop
-Stand is a little finicky and only has one angle to set the monitor at. This can't be stood up anywhere other than a stable flat surface.

Major con:
-Not durable, lasted 2 weeks before breaking.

I travel for work and carry this in my computer bag so I can set it up at my hotel room desk. This worked great on my first trip and had me feeling hollywood movie hacker working twice the speed any normal human should perform at. Delusions of grandeur quickly crashed back down to reality as on my second trip after only 2 weeks of owning the monitor, the screen broke. This sent me back to using the just the laptop monitor like the one-screen peasant I am.

It put the monitor in a thick laptop case and then in my protected computer compartment of my computer bag. I have been placing multiple laptops here for 2 years and have had no issues at all. When I took the monitor out from the bag, the screen was broken as shown in the attached picture. I assure you that I am very careful with my bag and didn't drop or bang it.

I realize this anyone reading this will think something like "look at this idiot that dropkicked his monitor and is acting surprised when it broke". But I really feel like treated it with the respect that the newborn tech baby deserved from it's proud new gadget owning dad... In case I really am just an abusive negligent father, I ordered another one to give it last try. I can only hope it lives a long and fulfilling life, unlike my goldfish in Kindergarten that my little sister removed from the tank so she could "take it for a walk". That said, since this is a PORTABLE monitor it I think it should be at least somewhat close in durability to the laptop I use with it.

I bought the KYY Portable Monitor over a year ago for my work-from-home setup, and I absolutely love it. The setup was easy, and I’ve had zero issues since. If I ever need another monitor, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another KYY. Highly recommended!

I'm older and was finding it difficult to use my laptop exclusively while traveling. It's big enough to be effective.
