Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been using this monitor for about a month now, and it is EXACTLY what I needed. I didn't have to install any drivers or anything, I just plugged the USB-C cord into my laptop and the monitor, and it instantly turned on and projects/extends the screen. SO EASY. I can take my computer set up anywhere I want and have the same capabilities as I do at home. The monitor is smaller than most traditional monitors, but I like that it's the same size as my laptop and it takes up less space on my desk. Resolution: The QHD resolution is more than good enough for working/studying, especially at the smaller size. No complaints, especially for the price. Price: It's still a chunk of change for the size compared to traditional monitor, but I think the price is worth every penny for what you get. Lightweight, plug and play, high enough resolution, easy to use and transport. Connection: The USB-C connection was the main thing I needed since my laptop doesn't have an HDMI input, and the vast majority of traditional monitors haven't caught up yet with using USB-C. KEEP IN MIND you do have to use a USB-C 3.1 cord specifically. The regular USB-C cord that you charge other devices with will NOT transmit the video to the monitor. Flickering Cursor: I did run into an issue with my cursor flickering between the "Normal Select" image and the "Working In Background" image when I have the monitor plugged in. I didn't find anything online to prevent that from happening, but I did find a work-around. In "Additional mouse settings" > "Mouse Properties" > "Pointers" tab, you can choose which cursor image is shown for which setting. I changed the "Working In Background" image to be the same as the "Normal Select" image. That way, even though it might technically be switching back and forth in the background, I don't see it flickering because the images are the same.

I was looking to get a second monitor for work and it came down to either this or one of the dozens of 15.6" Full HD portable monitors. Why would I go for this when I could pay $100-$200 less for a 15.6" Full HD monitor, and some even have with touch functionality (this doesn't have touch features). Here's why I went with the LG gram + view. *** 16:10 ASPECT RATIO *** All of the 15.6" portable monitors have a 16:9 aspect ratio while the LG gram+view has a 16:10 aspect ratio. With a 16:10 aspect ratio, you're getting some extra vertical pixels. So a 15.6" monitor can run a resolution of 1600x900 while this can run 1600x1000. Although it's not a lot, those extra 100 vertical pixels come in handy for displaying extra rows in spreadsheets or additional emails. *** 2560x1600 RESOLUTION *** Not only is the LG gram+view's display sharper compared to a 15.6" Full HD monitor but having more resolution means more space to place applications on the screen. On MacOS, I'm running it at 2048x1280 which gives me more working space compared to 1920x1080 on the 15.6". Text does appear a little small at this size but it's manageable. I recommend a smaller resolution like 1600x1000 if the text looks too small for you. Windows users can scale the text size to their liking. *** COLOR AND CONTRAST*** With 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, colors look amazing on the LG. Most of the 15.6" monitors have sRGB which while good, doesn't look as vibrant. Also, most 15.6" monitors have 800:1 static contrast ratio (some have higher) while this has 1200:1 static contrast ratio. So blacks don't look dull and grey on the LG. A couple of other things that I liked about the LG. - Only need 1 USB-C to USB-C cable to power the monitor. - Easy to store and protect the screen with the folio cover/stand. - Lightweight and great for working on the go. - Plenty of brightness. I have mine set around 50/100. - Great aesthetics. I like that they didn't put the LG logo on the bottom bezel and makes it look clean. Main cons would have to be the 60 hz refresh rate, lack of a touchscreen and price although I would argue that you're getting a quality product with a reputable brand instead of going for a cheap unknown brand on Amazon. Overall, I would highly recommend this monitor if you're looking for a portable monitor for productivity that is lightweight and can easily be used on the go with just one cable.

If you have limited space on your desk like me or if you travel a lot, this is a must buy. Screen quality is on a league of its own when it comes to portable monitors. If you are in the market for a second screen for your laptop, this is worth spending that extra money on. Its also very light.

I purchased two (2)-LG Portable from Best Buy, Monitors Model #16MQ70.ADSU1, LG 16" IPS LED Gram+View. And one monitor is defective after few days when started using it. I also tried to use my other spare MAC laptop just to make sure I am testing both monitors. The other one monitor still showing defective. "The defective monitor showing a horizontal black or gray half of the bottom part of screen and sometime it gives me a middle horizontal lines. Out of two I purchased, one is defective. I reached LG customer service, I can't get definite if they can replace the other monitor that defective

I needed something smaller without a lot of footprint for my Mac mini and found myself exploring portable monitors. This one has fantastic resolution and couldn't be easier to use—just plug it into a Thunderbolt port and go. The software is Windows-only, but you can still manually scale it (to get more space—by default, it's a 2x 1280x800) and rotate it from the Displays preference panel in macOS. Brightness controls are on the side on the unit. This will be super handy for a number of other things, too, like portable use and plugging into newer machines that temporarily need a screen. I love it.

Beautiful sharp display, big very bright screen. It was the only display sold at best buy that is sharper than just 1080p at the time of writing. Only cons are compatibility issues, tough to find a way to use with HDMI port but it’s possible. The folding cover doesn’t protect the back from scratches, and it’s fine at propping up the screen but could be better.

I returned this monitor not because of performance but because of lack of versatility. Let me start by saying how much I love the image quality - this monitor actually looks better than my lackluster Lenovo laptop issues at work. However, that’s where the accolades end for me. The lack of input meant that for those with only 1 USB-C connection, it was either this monitor or a charging cable. I have Macbooks with 2 USB-C ports so that doesn’t hamper anything…and I’m sure the LG laptop has two ports as well. For other manufacturers, meaning certain high end Dells and Lenovo’s, I start the 2hr countdown to laptop battery drainage the moment I plug this monitor in. It’s such a shame, since this monitor looks so darn good. I have other portable monitors that I’m keeping, some that drain battery slower (less energy consumption), some with multiple plug-in/wiring features, and one with a built-in battery feature. Such a shame. I hope LG (or even Samsung) comes out with something more versatile in the next few years.

The portability and size of this solved multiple issues for me. The 2nd screen has made my working from home a lot more productive. The portability of this has made it easy to store when not using it. The resolution and size is great and pairs up perfectly to my 16" LG laptop

I believe as of today this is the only 16" 16:10 monitor that supports resolutions up to 2560x1600, which makes it the best, and only, in its class. However, if you don't need this specific size or resolution, it might be better to go with another brand. Good: - Currently, it's the only portable 16" 16:10 monitor that supports a resolution up to 2560x1600. - It has two external buttons to control the brightness. - The monitor is lightweight and has small bezels. Ok: - The screen quality is not good, not bad, just ok. - The monitor comes with a cover that works as a stand, but the view angles are limited. Bad: - Poor compatibility: The monitor only works with some laptops and LG doesn't let you know how to identify if your laptop supports it or not. I have three laptops and it works with two of them. Compatible: Lenovo ThinkBook 13s 3rd Gen and MacBook Air M1. Not Compatible: Lenovo Yoga 16 7i with Intel Arc. I took my monitor to BestBuy to see if it would work with another Lenovo Yoga 16 7i they have on display, but it didn't. I tried it with other Lenovo Yoga line laptops, but it didn't work either. I tried it with an HP Spectre x360 16 with 12th gen i7, and no luck. However, it did work with a Lenovo Slim 7i 16" and with a Dell XPS 15 with 12th gen i7. - The monitor has two USB-C ports, but you can only use one at a time to connect it to a computer, so you are losing one port. - Poor technical support: I tried to troubleshoot the compatibility issue with LG, and I had to speak with three different departments. Once I got to the "correct" department, the person that tried to help didn't seem to know much about PCs, so that was a waste of time. - The LG software to control the monitor from the computer is not compatible with Mac.

I was very hesitant about having a portable monitor, always questioned if it would really improve my productivity. I even tried an AOC model from a friend and convinced myself I didn't needed but whoa having this screen is a total game changer, I always take it with me if I'm going to a coffee shop or even when I move around my office, having a second monitor with this display quality is really nice. However, beware... this thing is a power drainer so if your laptop normally gives you 3 hours of battery, you're lucky if you get more than an hour with this thing connected. Other than that a solid purchase!

The brightness is good and it is very easy to use in a hotel or remote location to provide a second screen for a laptop. The size is great and the resolution is very good.

This is a fairly simple product at a reasonable price. Like other reviewers, I was using sidecar with a 12in iPad for a second display for my MacBook Pro. However I had various issues with that setup and really just wanted something simple. This display does just that. Extremely simple plug and play. Only downside is the inability to provide it with its own power, as using it for a second display on an iPad Mini, it kills the battery. Overall it is a good product and the extra resolution is quite nice.

Very lightweight yet good size. Also easy to set up.

Handy and useful. Improved the visibility and resolution of my native laptop display and was so easy to use with the USB-C cable connection (on both sides!) Great product. Pricey but worth it. A+

I got it for work when I am on the road. It really helps speed up my productivity since I don't have to flip screens back and forth so much. The screen size is perfect for travel and the picture quality is great for what I need. Using the stand does take a little practice but works fine.

Beautiful 2nd monitor for my Lenovo Legion 16:10 laptop. Bright, hi-res, did I mention 16:10 makes a much bigger difference than you might think. Buy it!

Very nice image quality and lightweight. This has been a must for working while traveling.

Loved the monitor, convenient, stand was ok, wish it was touchscreen. Clear, crisp, and easy to use.

I did a lot of research and could not be more thrilled about this choice. I travel to multiple offices and needed a light weight choice, which this exceeded my expectations, but the screens clarity and color are amazing. You csn also adjust the brightness right on the side. On top of all of this, the adjustable stand was the icing on the cake. I truly love it. Has made my job so much easier.

Works great! Love it! Very light and easy to install.
