GeChic 1503H 15.6 inch IPS 1080p Portable Monitor with HDMI, VGA Input, USB Powered, Ultralight Weight, Built-in Speakers, Rear Docking

I can't believe I haven't reviewed this yet. Got my first one well over a year ago, and then got my second within the next six months after I realized.. "I need MOOOAR!"As others will have already indicated, the screen is crisp, touch sensitivity is perfect. (I use touch about 50% of the time, unless I'm on spreadsheet duty.) Viewing angles are very good (as you can expect from IPS monitors), color reproduction is spot on, and backlight bleed is virtually nil, probably in large part due to its solid screen and frame construction. It's not quite OLED so you can't expect the blackest blacks and that kind of dynamic color range - but the color repro, brightness, and contrast definitely beats out what most laptop monitors can produce! And I personally LOVE the gloss glass screen finish. It speaks quality through and through.Finally, the monitor is extremely reliable and portable: I keep both monitors, and the two combination back-port cables in the same laptop bag. (The combination cable is an absolute must-have for portability, though you have to purchase separately.) And you get spoiled with real estate.Though not a brand you would immediately recognize and immediately say "ahh, quality" ... this product definitely is!Can't beat the price for quality, and a laptop setup with one of these on either side looks sharp and screams "ready for the heavy work".Also, two more comments that may make or break your decision to purchase: the cover and stand. Compared to colleagues who have similar products, the stand that's incorporated into the Gechic unit is actually quite ingenuious - it tucks away behind the unit and isn't something you have to store separately (like that of an Asus, for instance). So, good on that one. However, the screen cover itself is - it's a plastic "cap" of sorts that you have to take off and put away. Ultimately not a bad thing - but it's one thing to set aside, as opposed to being integral to the screen, for instance as if it were a flip cover or similar on a tablet or Surface Pro. It does, however, protect the screen quite well so I'm 100% good with that tradeoff. The only thing that irks me is that the cover is kept in place solely by two rubberized adhesive strips that do tend to get "rubbed" out of position when you take the cover off. Adhesive isn't as good and is the only factor that keeps the cover on. If you aren't as attentive to detail, you may lose those pieces that keep the cover snugly in place.So, in summary, this is an excellent item for productivity. If you're a traveling professional like me who absolutely needs multiple screens for work, but must also have portability, this item is for you.

I have bought 3 monitors from GeChic since their first Portable Monitor 1302! And I have to say this is a company that knows what their user wants! This is the best Portable “Touchscreen” monitor I have used so far ( Not that many on the market anyways… none in consumer end that I know of)I had the previous version 1502i, although it was still a nice touchscreen, its bezel is a big long and not easy to carry around in my bag. This new model completely changed that! The thinner black bezel is beautiful and the whole monitor is now more compact. I move in and out of the office constantly for meetings and presentations. I used to leave my 1502i in the office and bring the 1303H before. Now I will stick to 1503i and give the 1303H to my programmer. (They love it too)What I also like about this newer model other than the physical appearance upgrade is the back port connection. I got the back port cable and it routes the two cables to the back to a single port instead of constantly unplugging two cables when I need to move and set up. Nice touch GeChic !Pros:- Beautiful IPS screen, good Color calibration on the OSD- Smaller Bezel ,more compact for portability- HDMI input- 10-point mult touch- Back port connectivityCons:- A bit heavier than 1503H but it has touch and has harden glass screen so it’s understandable (still much lighter than desktop monitor!)- Switching from Landscape to Portrait requires screw driver. I would use the stand4 I have before for portrait mode.Summary:Good design, compact, HDMI real video input with touch function, USB powered. Great extra screen for mobile workers, road warriors, System builders.If you are deciding between other brands of portable monitor and GeChic due to price, I would recommend these HDMI based monitor, it’s plug and play , doesn’t require driver installation and it had saved me tons of time when I need to use it with a company laptop that requires admin login

Short version: It's the highest-quality portable monitor with a reasonable screen size, resolution, contrast, and brightness level, and thus probably your best pick in the category if you can afford it. There's one small flaw with the case that causes issues with the menu buttons, though.I purchased this after the display stopped working on a comparable product from Asus. I travel a lot for work and use this as a second monitor when doing research, building slides/excel models, etc.. I'm having some issues getting the colors to match with my regular laptop, but that's more on me than on the product itself.That said, there's one downside (and I'm putting in for a warranty claim/replacement on this) - the menu buttons for controlling things like the colors have stopped working. My guess is that the protective shield - which doesn't have any extra space to accommodate the buttons - left them stuck compressed in transit.The power button still works, but since I'd like the ability to fiddle with the actual display settings I'll be looking to trade it in for a new one next chance I get. It's a mildly frustrating design flaw and one that can probably be prevented with a little ingenuity, but since the impact's already happened I'll need a replacement.
