great monitor.. waiting for 17+ inch
on April 2, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
this is a great monitor for the price. I'm waiting for 17 inch. 15.6 is bit smaller for me. So 5 stars for me for the quality. Unfortunately i had to return back 15.6 inch monitor only because of its size, otherwise i have no complaints.

Great screen… after some tweaks
on March 23, 2022
Posted by: Anonymous
Updated March 28, 2022: It looks like I found a solution to the HDMI blacks not being black. On my windows desktop (and laptop), I had to force the output to be 10bit and full color in the Nvidia control panel. Once I did that, blacks were now really black! So the pixels were off!
You may only need to set the full color (and not the 10bit) as the full color option allows the whole range of color versus a subset. And part of that subset of color was pure black.
This was my biggest issue and with this fix, it’s a keeper!
Original review: For a portable 15" monitor, the picture quality is pretty good.... with some caveats.
First the good: - It is an OLED monitor in a small, portable form factor! You can power with just a single USB, but that limits your brightness, so unless you want to stick at 20% brightness, you will always need to plug it in. - The screen picture (once you adjust the colors), look very good. It is not HDR so the colors won't pop as much as on an OLED TV or HDR monitor, but it is good with the contrast against the true black (see issue below). For me, the colors were a little too warm and maybe had a little red/yellow tinge to it. I don't have a calibration device but I was eyeballing it against other OLED devices. - The case/cover is nice to stick in a bag. However, I did get one of the tablet aluminum stands to use at my desk as a second monitor as it takes up less desk space and is more adjustable. - The screen calibration changes are used for either input, so only one setup. This may be a con for some people, but realistically you will need to use USB C. - 1080p is good at this size; while 4k is nice, not worth the benefit because I'd have to work at 200% in Windows which is 1080p effective resolution (just more details). - It gets pretty bright (which I prefer - no more sub-300 nit screens!)
On to the bad: - if you use HDMI, you do NOT get the true blacks. The screen stays lit and the black is more of a gray (very much like a normal IPS screen). That may have been another reviewer's issue. Switch over to USB C and you get that inky black. I tried both ports on several machines (windows and mac) to see if it was a machine or OS - but it is the HDMI port input. Of course, my desktop card is only HDMI and DisplayPort so I am going to try one of those USB C to DP bi-directional cables for home use. - the color calibration is not great out of the box despite their little calibration paper - the stand takes up more desk space than I'd like and is not really adjustable - speakers will work in a pinch, but my MBP 16 sounds sooo much better
The HDMI non-black is a serious issue. I am debating whether I will return this. For travel, all my devices have USB C, so not as much of an issue. But for home use, if the bi-directional cable doesn't work then that is an issue. I got it on sale so it is not that much more expensive than an IPS screen and I don't have to worry about an blacklight bleed or IPS glow.

No blurring for gaming, great picture quality
on March 22, 2022

Bought this for my nintendo switch and steam deck after trying a different portable "gaming" monitor that was blurry when anything moved on screen. I don't see the blur anymore with this monitor and the colors are vivid. The case works as a stand behind the monitor, which I like much better than having the case folded out in front like some of the smart cases are designed.

Missing headphone jack and big bottom than counterpart

Lack of headphone jack is my biggest complain. Having headphone jack can make a big difference. And the bottom feels unnecessary large.

Great OLED monitor!
on March 17, 2022

Using it primarily for my switch OLED. Make sure to use at least 40W power. I have a 45W PD power bank that powers the monitor. Then only using a single USB c cable connected to my switch enables tv mode. For the screen itself excellent inky blacks, contrast and color. Good brightness and speakers get the job done. Very good build quality and the included case is nice. Very happy with this monitor!

Everything but the picture quality is disappointing
on March 16, 2022

This screen is very pretty, but that's about all the good I have to say about it. (But that is a huge selling point; it's currently very unique in that respect). Oh, it does support the Surface Pen and Wacom Bamboo Ink stylus in Surface mode, but doesn't seem to work very well with the Surface Slim Pen 2, limiting its future appeal.
I think the firmware is pretty abysmal, and I don't have hope that it'll be updated. - The extra devices that the screen contains (like the touch screen) disconnect whenever it goes to sleep, so you'll constantly hear the Windows device disconnection noise when that happens. - It apparently adds an extra USB keyboard/mouse when you connect it even though there's no keyboard functionality at all! So it disables the laptop touchpad by default (because Windows thinks there's an external mouse connected), and Android does wonky stuff with the on-screen keyboard because it assumes that'll be your input. Very bizarre, but I think they have a related product that supports some sort of keyboard - As well, you can't adjust the brightness unless you're in a custom picture mode, so it makes the other standard modes have limited usefulness. - The battery doesn't last very long, either; and the Lenovo X1 Yoga that I have it connected to won't charge it (enough) from the Thunderbolt port it has, so I'm forced to run it with its own power adapter in addition to the Type-C connection.
This product is ok, but it could've been much, much better. It does the job, but it's ultimately disappointing.

LOVE this monitor. It is really thin, so it is easy to travel with. Very bright, great color, no dead pixels, and easy to configure.

Almost perfect?

I've been holding off writing a review because I haven't been using the monitor very much, but I felt INNOCN deserved some more positive feedback for this product.
I previously owned an Asus Zenscreen Touch and had to return it because it was showing cracks in the plastic days after I received it. No problem with the INNOCN which is much better built and includes a very nice case to further protect it.
The OLED is beautiful, the touch screen works well with an inexpensive active 4096 pen or an actual MS surface pen. The brightness is very good for a portable. The dimness which is also important to me is good, but could go a bit lower. The battery is LiPo which is good news. It shouldn't need to be pampered to get long life. And unlike some displays, you never have to turn down the brightness to keep the display on when connected to your phone. The touch UI works well enough.
I mostly use it with my Note 9 using Samsung Dex whish works great, but uses 1080p. I've also tried it with the USB-C output of my RTX-2080 on my PC and I was able to get 4k60 and touch no problem. Because I use it with my Phone, the battery is very much appreciated. Either USB-C port can be used, and the display can charge my phone, or this can be turned off.
It is expensive, but I can't knock it for that given what other OLED monitors sell for.
What's the ultimate use case for this display? I think it's the ability to turn a phone in to a tablet and make full use of your phone's data plan. Because it uses a wired connection, DRM is not a problem with displaying movies. You can also hook up a streaming stick, but then you need WiFi or a hot spot, etc. It can be a tablet/laptop replacement with a powerful enough phone and/or some remote control s/w.
I was hoping to relieve all cable strain and bought some magnetic USB-C connectors, but unfortunately had little success with them to do anything beyond charging the monitor. Video was supposed to work, but did not.
What would get it to perfect in my book? 1) 4k120, HDR, VRR, true 10-bit 2) 600 nits brightness 3) built-in widi/miracast or better 4) even lower lag 5) audio jack 6) louder speakers 7) professional calibration / automatic calibration features 8) wireless charging 9) phone mounting option
