Welcome back Tech Room Enthusiasts! We're trustedshoppingguide.com and today we are in
the Tech Room. In this video, two portable monitor brands will be going head to head.
We have the Lepow Portable Monitor and the ASUS ZenScreen Portable Monitor.
Whether you want to add a second screen to your productivity setup or want to enhance
your portable gaming system with a mobile screen you can bring anywhere, portable monitors offer
an elegant solution to your screen needs. Many smaller display monitors are compact enough to
be taken on the road when you re in a pinch. A "true" portable monitor, however, is specifically
designed and sold as such. Aside from this, the widespread adoption of USB Type-C connectivity
has only contributed significantly to the recent growth of portable displays on the market. With
no more AC and HDMI connectivity required to get you started, bringing along a portable monitor
with you on your travels has never been easier. In today s video, we will be pitting two high-end
portable monitors - the Lepow Portable Monitor and the ASUS Portable Monitor - against each other
in a battle of epic proportions. Both of these scanners have earned five badges from our team
at trustedshoppingguide.com, attesting to their quality, durability, and performance. However,
there s only one room for a winner, so sit back, relax, and watch as
we battle it out in today s Brand Wars! If you are interested in the other portable
monitors that we reviewed, do check out our portable monitor review video linked below. If
you want direct links to the products themselves, all these links are also listed below too. So,
without further ado, let s start the brand wars! The first category that these portable monitors
will be going toe to toe with are their size and form factor
Size is the major consideration for portable monitors. For that reason,
it is important to note just what you ll be using this mobile screen for. Is it meant to
be a display screen you can bring with you for camping or on vacation? Then maybe a smaller
and more portable monitor will work best for you. Are you a professional graphic or motion effects
editor and are looking to edit photos and videos more comfortably in cafes or co-working spaces?
In this case, a bigger and more high-quality screen is exactly what you re looking for.
The Lepow Portable Monitor is a compact and portable monitor that allows you to
comfortably set it up anywhere. It has overall dimensions of 14.5 by 8.8 by 0.34 inches
and a weight of 1.7 pounds. Its streamlined design and look provide the monitor with a slim and
elegant profile. This makes it a very attractive choice for people looking for something mobile
yet lightweight. The ASUS ZenScreen, on the other hand, is no slouch either. It is right around
the same size and weight as the Lepow Portable Monitor, with overall dimensions of 14.16 by 8.91
by 0.31 inches and a weight of 1.76 pounds. In terms of portability and desk-friendly design,
the Lepow Portable Monitor has the edge over the ASUS ZenScreen. For that reason,
we are giving it the first point round, earning the first point of this battle.
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their screen quality
Screen quality is obviously going to matter when it comes to choosing a portable monitor.
If all you re looking to do is watch Netflix or do impromptu one-on-one meetings,
then you might not need a 4K screen to go along with your portable screen setup.
If you re going to be sifting through hundreds of lines of code or editing media, however, then you
re probably going to want a high-resolution IPS portable monitor for good measure.
The Lepow Portable Monitor suffers in this category, which is quite understandable
given its moderate price point. It offers 1920 by 1080 resolution display
with good image quality and color accuracy. The ASUS ZenScreen, on the other hand,
shines bright this round, with its 1080p IPS panel display and excellent brightness and
contrast ratio. Aside from this, its display is also anti-glare, providing you with the option to
comfortably use the monitor in direct sunlight. The ASUS ZenScreen is the clear winner for this
category, thanks to its wonderful IPS display screen that s truly a joy to watch and edit
media on. Having said that, it earns a point, which ties the battle up at 1-1.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their connectivity
Connectivity is probably the most important feature to consider when choosing a portable
monitor. After all, what good is a monitor if you can t plug it into your devices? Although it may
be helpful to have HDMI or DisplayPort compatibility on your portable display,
the new and more convenient standard is a USB-C connection.
This connection is able to transfer both power and display data with just one cable. Aside from that,
it s universally used today as a charging and data transfer port for other devices as
well. Needless to say, a USB-C connection is the bare minimum we require from a portable monitor.
As for everything else, it is just a bonus. The Lepow Portable Monitor is compatible
with laptops, PCs, smartphones, and gaming consoles including the PlayStation 3 and 4,
the Xbox One and Series S and X, and the Nintendo Switch, to name a few.
You can also connect your devices to this portable monitor easily via the USB-C or Mini-HDMI port to
deliver business presentations, watch movies and TV shows, view photos, and other applications.
The ASUS ZenScreen is no slouch either, with its hybrid-signal solution that supports power
and video transmission and enables compatibility with any laptop with a USB Type-C or Type-A port.
With both portable monitors offering USB-C connectivity, we believe both monitors to
be good investments for your productivity or gaming setup. They are also guaranteed to be
future-proof for at least the foreseeable future. If we had to nitpick, however, the Lepow Portable
Monitor s inclusion of a mini-HDMI port gives it a slight edge over the ZenScreen. For that reason,
we are giving it this round and it takes the lead again with the score at 2-1.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with is their refresh rate
Measured in Hertz, the refresh rate counts the number of times the display fully refreshes every
second. A 60 Hertz display refreshes 60 times per second, 90 Hertz at 90 times per second,
120 Hertz at120 times per second, and so on. Although this may not mean much to someone who
s only using their portable monitors for doing file and spreadsheet work, each incremental
difference means a lot for someone working with high-quality media and graphic motion assets.
Having said that, it is also worth noting that the quality of the refresh rate is just as
important as the refresh rate itself. With both portable monitors offering a
60 Hertz refresh rate, it can be quite confusing which one to pick as the better performing unit.
For that, we will be taking a deep dive into how these portable monitors work and assess just which
monitor has that slight edge over the other. The Lepow Portable Monitor delivers its money s worth,
with a stable and reliable refresh rate over the duration of our product testing.
What the ASUS ZenScreen delivers, on the other hand, feels very premium. Perhaps it's
the synergistic performance of the beautiful IPS display and the 60 Hertz refresh rate,
but the visuals truly just pop off the screen. For that reason, we are giving the ASUS ZenScreen
this round as it ties up the battle again at 2-2, which leads us to a tiebreaker round.
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be going
toe to toe with are their viewing angles The viewing angle is the angle at which a
display can be viewed with an acceptable visual performance. As a general rule, the larger the
viewing angle, the more off-axis you can view your monitor clearly without any distortions. A viewing
angle of 70 degrees or more would allow you to view your display from most angles. Having said
that, do note that a higher viewing angle is less important if you always view your monitor directly
in front of you and not from an angle. However, for all intents and purposes, it would be right to
conclude that a larger viewing angle is better and more attractive in the world of display screens.
The Lepow Portable Monitor offers an impressive 178-degree viewing angle, which gives superb
color contrast, viewing quality, and accurate color reproduction. The ASUS ZenScreen, however,
is not to be outgunned either. It gives you even more flexibility when extending your screen,
so you still get superb color and contrast even from extreme viewing positions.
Although the ASUS ZenScreen didn t offer an exact number as to how wide its monitor s
viewing angles are, we found that it extends even beyond what the Lepow Portable Monitor offers.
In fact, we recommend using it with an additional accessory such as a stand that
provides you with even more screen flexibility to get the most out of this portable monitor.
With an impressive display that offers great viewing angles, there is no doubt that the ASUS
ZenScreen will serve you well in your tasks and activities. It takes the final round and
wins the battle by a narrow margin of one point. Finally, we have come to the end of this battle
of portable monitors between the Lepow Portable Monitor and the ASUS ZenScreen. Even though it
was a very tough fight, the ASUS ZenScreen beats the Lepow Portable Monitor with a very close
final tally of 3-2. Although the Lepow Portable Monitor makes an attractive purchase for people
looking for an affordable way to improve their productivity or gaming setup, the Asus ZenScreen
s unrivaled screen display performance makes it too much of a formidable opponent to simply be
cast aside. As much as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful features these portable
monitors offer, there can only be one victor today and the ASUS ZenScreen is definitely it.
