I Was a bit unsure about the price of this screen, but after consuming many reviews online of not just this screen but all the other unknown brand screens… i pulled the trigger on it based on two main things
1. resolution… many of the unknown brand screens seem to top out at 1080p
2. previous bad experience with unknown brand electronics from China
It arrived a couple of hours ago and i’m blown away with the performance and picture quality. The colours are vibrant, the image is crisp and bright
I Have it installed on my 15″ 2016 MacBook Pro touch bar and it worked out of the box. I was sort of expecting to need third party software to sort out the resolution based on the multiple portable monitor videos from YouTube that i had previously watched…. BUT NO! It just worked at it’s native resolution. Maybe thats another plus point from having bought a decent brand instead of a cheap one.
Great little portable monitor. Great for adding as a secondary monitor to give greater productivity.
Connected to the mains to charge the battery and switched on. the set up worked a dream from access to the internet, downloading all updates and mirroring everything on my main computer. This included Favourites, programmes, user names & passwords. What a difference to previous experiences.
The beauty of his laptop is its light weight, it’s lighter than a MacBook Air, yet it has a 17″ screen. The keyboards are slightly awkward, the sound could be better and the battery life isn’t quite as long as advertised, but overall a very handy compute
Bought this to replace a 6 year old hp windows machine I like windows 11 and my hp wouldn’t upgrade to it thus is very fast boot upto hp very nice bright screen it feels plastic and very lightweight I was expecting something a bit more metal after reading spec battery isn’t no where near what lg say it will last 19 hours is a joke if battery life is a must my apple m1 mac pro ticks that box and it feels quality metal finish that I like but I like having windows so bought this aswell overall I think it’s a bit overpriced but but I’m happy sofar with my purchase my lg television and washer have been very long lasting there in there 6th year and used daily so I’m hoping this lg gram will be too fingers crossed
FIX: Use a third party app like Better Display / BetterDummy, note that it is not free. The app fools your mac into thinking it’s a fully compatible High DPI (HiDPI) and the result is a screen that’s just like your MacBook retina. In fact the colour rendering is slightly better.
The picture quality on this monitor is excelent with good colour accuracy, resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio. It looses one star because it does not offer power delivery passthrough and would have been more versatile if it included a HDMI port, the stand is not as good as some others, but the image quality is far better than any other portable monitor I have tried.
Amazing product, really good screen. Super light, it almost feels fragile to touch, but it’s actually really good quality. I definitely recommend it!
Tip for Mac users:
-when you use it for the first time, and the portable screen is your extended display, you’ll notice that the font is really small and hard to read.
Go to Settings > Display and instead of using the default 2560 x 1600 px, scale it down to 2048 x 1280 and the print gets larger, but it drops in quality; not by a massive amount though.
The other option is to use it as your main screen and all of your settings from your Mac will automatically apply to your secondary screen.
Overall: buy it! LG never disappoints
Really happy with this product – my boyfriend bought one and I liked it so much I got one for myself! Couldn’t find a higher resolution portable screen elsewhere for a reasonable price point (I got this on sale for 200). Excellent for remote working in coffee shops and co-working for anyone who can’t live without a second screen – has made me a lot more mobile. And it doesn’t need a charger or run out of battery! Recommend!
Received quickly and securely. Set up within minutes. Very happy with this as my previous lappy, a Lenovo, fell at this first hurdle.
Third costly LG product I have bought that I am 100 % satisfied with. The matt finish is robust, good length of mains lead, Win11 updates are quick and smooth, no complaints.
With 1TB of storage and 16GB of memory, the hardware supports everything I need it for. You might want more RAM or storage if you were editing videos, for example, but the specs suggest you can add more storage; I haven’t opened it up to check.
The centrepiece though is the display. I love the anti-glare screen so I can sit by a window without seeing reflections, narrow bezels allow the screen to fill the field of view and it’s plenty bright enough for my uses.
Other user interface issues: the keyboard is just deep and clicky enough to be great to type on, and the separate number pad is useful too – if only for the Enter key that sits on the far right and so is easy to prod when typing quickly.
If I had a criticism, it would be that the Enter key in the middle of the keyboard is harder to pick out than if it were larger, and I’d prefer the Home and End keys, which I use a lot when typing, not to require use of the Fn key. The black case also picks up fingerprints easily but these are easy to remove with isopropyl alcohol. Or vodka will probably work too! And I’d prefer to have had Windows Pro installed by default rather than Home just for the additional networking functionality but that’s simple to remedy.
Charging is via a USB-C port and the charger itself is a fairly small, lightweight component, making the whole apparatus easy to carry around when necessary.
Very impressed with this machine. It’s not the cheapest on the market but having spent weeks researching the 17-inch laptop market, you will struggle to find one that combines all these features without paying a whole lot more.
Works with both windows and Mac so that’s a plus. I haven’t tried it with my iPad although going from 12.9 to 16 inches is probably not needed.
negatives – it’s usb c only so my iPhone is not working with it (someone more technologically advanced might know a way to) . I haven’t tried android either.
Would recommend.
Pros:
– super Lightweight and comes with an excellent cover/stand
– clarity and brightness is really good
– portability wise I can easily put it away when I’m not working and it’s very easy to take to work when working from the office
Cons:
– Price is on the high side, could be more affordable for what it offers
– the cover is slightly flimsy and could be made of better quality
– I wish the edges and the monitor screen sat plush similar to an iPad
had this 3 or 4 weeks now very good laptop extremely thin & very light, Boot up takes seconds not minuets works extremely well… Equally as good as there TV’s & I have one of these as well…. Very pleased
Screen display is vibrant and very pleasant to look at. Colors pop out of the screen with deep saturation. Ok folio cover to protect the screen.
Just what I was looking for. I use it for home working. I am not a content creator requiring precision color accuracy, but it more than satisfies my needs. I am very pleased with this purchase.
