We will break down the steps you need to follow to easily and quickly prepare the setup. Also when phone is in use with the monitor, does it cover the whole screen with phone pictures? @Whalehome Exactly. Please read our FTC Disclosure for more information. I just grabbed several switch games over the past few weeks (Astral Chain, Mario+Rabbids, Octopath Traveler) but I'll add it to the queue for after.

It enables you to connect your smartphone to the portable monitor without any physical wire connection. @Shahryar hey, I got it on sale and with a $10 coupon for $89.

Let's see how to connect your smartphone to a portable monitor using the adapter. For on the go with no power source available I can use my battery banks to power the monitor and Switch for hours at a time! I'm hoping that works well.

I use the 1080p one for my Switch and its nice because the Switch charger powers the screen and charges the Switch simultaneously, plus you don't need to use the dock for tv mode just a usb c cable works by itself. I've also taken the screen (which is thinner than a laptop) to events and trips; heck, using the proper capacity battery pack, I can even run the Switch AND the screen outside of the house.

You can also go through this. People forgot what it means to be portable with just the Switch or Lite by itself and if you want others to enjoy use the home TV as 13 portable screen is asking to be more complicated then it really needs to be. I did place an order today for the Genki shadowcast which connects a switch to a laptop (mentioned it earlier, here it is again: https://gizmodo.com/turn-your-laptop-into-a-larger-portable-screen-for-your-1845928444) . We've got a full review of the AVA wirelessHD here, but to cut a long story short, this remarkable screen uses cutting-edge 'wirelessHD mm-Wave 5G technology' to beam the image from your source to the display, offering a low-latency 'zero-lag' experience that (largely) removes the need for wires. it is great. I recheck the pricing on all of the models that were reviewed by @damo and everything is still around the same price. The little lip that holds monitor in place rubs against the screen, and will polish it with time. Press on it, connect, and start enjoying.

Take Switch cartridges as per normal.

That naturally doesn't apply when using a games console like the Switch, but if you plan on buying a screen for both productivity and leisure, it's massively helpful especially if you're a creative type who does a lot of digital art.

Even if the phone doesn't include the Desktop Mode, you can still cast the phone screen on the portable monitor. It folds up like an ipad, so it fits in my backpack easily and it isnt heavy or unwieldy. If you are going to act like a knowitall you should probably know something about the topics.

Since those will break your Switch. If you don't want to go through the hassle of wires, a. can be your solution. These monitors do not require much power, so I can run a Switch (or a Raspberry Pi for media or emulation) and one of these monitors using a dedicated, low-cost, off-grid solar setup.

When on the go I use the Anker powercore Switch battery bank to do the same thing. Looking for more?

Will be the cheapest model overall as it won't require the screen. That's hard to argue with, but, unlike rivals such as the INNOCN PU15-PRE, this 4K screen costs just $399.

There ya go @damo there's your reason for it's existence, kids in the back seat of a car.

Why else would NIN with the Switch Provide you that option with Pro controller is what I do.

However, there are some requirements for your smartphone to meet. Find the Screen Mirroring option in your iPhone's control bar and search for available devices.

The latter is used to navigate menus and change things like the volume and brightness, and while we really like the fact that it's more intuitive to access and change settings using this method, the switch feels very fragile and fiddly, and we lost count of the number of times we accidentally selected the wrong setting.

Between the 2 it makes up for the issues at the price.

Multiplayer?

Make sure the display is turned on or attached to the power. Oh well.

However, I'm not sure I'd advise it as the Switch really needs its external power supply when running in docked mode. It seems like my point has eluded even yourself. One of the cheapest options on the market right now is the C-Force CF011X, which costs "just" $180 (these screens aren't low-cost quite yet, put it that way).

The issue here, of course, is that the 4K resolution is wasted on the Switch, which can only output at 1080p, but as is the case with every screen in this round-up, the PU15-PRE really comes into its own when you're using it for more than just games. You should find it under the Developers Option. If you are using your phone in portrait mode, it depends on if the monitor has a 90-degree auto rotation function. We also really liked the tablet-size cover, which folds out underneath the screen and acts as a stand, very much like some of the covers Apple has released for its iPad range.

Anyway, anybody looking to buy 1 of these - not that 1 guy obvs - lightning deal at Amazon US the next 4 hours. Except if you want to play local multiplayer, but then you also need additional controllers.

@Agramonte thanks for all the info.

or happy holiday gift! If you want to share then that is where you do at Home or Hotel with a Dock connected to the TV of which I know motel/hotel have a TV with HDMI input. There's more to it then just screen size here and that is cost and having to lug around more display which can be broken/lost or worse. I hate them on my monitors, but the case has a design flaw. Find the device and press on it to connect. Pros: No wires, great picture, wireless transmitter acts as a Switch dock, Cons: Very expensive, wireless transmitter gets very hot under use.

You will find the network name and Pin on the portable monitor.

@Seananigans As clearly mentioned in the piece, these screens exist in a middle ground. The Switch's arrival on the market has fortuitously come at the same time as an explosion in external monitors; these thin and portable panels have a wide range of uses they connect to almost anything that has HDMI-out, but also accept USB-C connections too, so you can use them with your laptop or even your smartphone but many of them are being marketed as the ultimate Switch travel accessory; a screen thin and light enough to be carried in your rucksack, but one which offers a crisp 1080p image and can be powered using high-capacity USB battery packs.

The interface may vary depending on the smartphone you are using.

Great for families/households that do not require the portable functionality. I'll keep the USB-C that comes with it too on me like you suggested. Let me give you another example of something currently happening for me: As Im typing, I have Divinity 2 paused on my portable monitor on the side table to my little hospital bed. Giving everyone their own screen to look at.

UPERFECT replied:Hello, here are our answers: @Whalehome never said it was you but stating by now everyone knows Lite can't Dock if they don't then they been a hermit too long. @sanderev I've been using third-party slim docks (or adapters) marketed for the Switch and Macbooks for years.

@Whalehome both monitors are made by Eviciv, @Seananigans came here to write the exact same thing lol. The editor notes that the screens should be used with a dock for this reason but the dock requires AC power, which somewhat defeats the portability aspect.

The espressoDisplay V2 removes the Mini-HDMI connection of the V1 screen and replaces it with two USB-C ports, which can be used to connect (and charge) the Switch without needing the Switch dock, as long as you're using a reasonably powerful PSU. Note that you can only mirror the phone's screen to the portable monitor following this way, and you cannot enjoy the touch function.

It features HDR for the same price. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07K8JLR4C/ref=sspa_dk_detail_6?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07K8JLR4C&pd_rd_w=sQOOC&pf_rd_p=a64be657-55f3-4b6a-91aa-17a31a8febb4&pd_rd_wg=ViISG&pf_rd_r=VA5YE3235M0ANWHWBPX2&pd_rd_r=bd369eeb-3586-49a8-b642-6d6cde912af5&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzSUdWSDBWRE5SR1dYJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMjc1MzM1R1RPSFlMRjJTMEtIJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA1OTAwMDlTR1Y4TjZRNFI4Qkgmd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWMmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl.

We've not used any of the other options available on Amazon, but the four screens selected here offer four different options, so we feel it's a good mix for interested buyers. @Agramonte the monitor just arrived today.

Why refer people to two kickstart campaigns when comparable, cheaper options are available today on Amazon? I got astral, octopath, and Rabbids all when they dropped to a great price. Rather than the cheapest C-Force monitor, go with a Lepow Z1 Gamut. Cons: No touch support, controls are fiddly and buggy. The screen is also very bright and offers excellent contrast.

I use one of these monitors for my Switch and other gaming stuff - it means I'm getting better visuals for most Switch games (when playing in portable, the visuals aren't as good in most titles).

You had my full support until you went and undermined your own credibility by referring to @Damo as a journalist.

So that's out. Smartphones are now more powerful than ever, and a portable monitor can help you unleash the phone's additional capability.

Well at least we used to before @rjejr https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/7y0c44/eli5_why_cant_the_switch_output_video_without_a/. The display even rotates 90-degrees, which makes it ideal for playing TATE-mode titles. I have a few portable gaming monitors that I purchased off Amazon.

I think glasses or a magnifying device would be a far cheaper option for something as unnecessary as these. Youre forgetting that not every location that one would stay in has a tv. You can pack up all you need in a thin laptop bag, including controllers for eight people and an external monitor. Turn on the mirror screen if you are using the older Android versions or your phone doesn't include a Desktop Mode. It's all to do with the USB-C standard. Plug it into the monitors USB-C OTG port. Lite can't hookup only the Switch can do that and I for one will not take something like extra screen outside where one can't secure it from Damage that's why the Switch and Lite have their own screen. Isn't that the real story here, Switch TV out w/o the dock?

Colours look utterly stunning on the PU15-PRE, and the contrast is amazing. For the right price Id' get 1 of these for the back seat of the car for my 2 sons, screen is too small for sharing while driving but 15" could work.

Please note, comments must be approved before they are published. Something else I just saw that popped up was this: https://gizmodo.com/turn-your-laptop-into-a-larger-portable-screen-for-your-1845928444. To round it all off, the monitor is clad in an Apple-style metal casing which makes it feel incredibly premium, while the bundled case not only protects your investment but also doubles as a handy kickstand. @Seananigans "It seems like a ton of extra steps (and money) for something that just works right out of the box".

Only yours is significantly less. Battery monitors with keyboard and trackpad, as known as, , will significantly help you in daily use. There is no tv in my room to hook my switch up to. If you got a link to a previous article where that is a lead "Switch Now Outputs to a Screen Without the Dock" I'd like to read it. I find nothing wrong with a Gripcase and Joy-Con playing fine and I do have Pro but then I Dock when doing that.

Apologies if someone else covered it (I scanned through the comments and did a search), but won't UK backers get hit with fairly sizeable import tax/duty charges backing any of these US-based campaigns (when it comes to receiving their monitor)? We used the original dock to test each screen unless expressly noted.

This is literally the biggest waste of money you could ever think of.

Two had no signal and one gave an error message "HDMI is not able to be displayed".

That's what it was made for and more then one well the other party should get a Switch and support Nintendo if they really want more innovations from Nintendo to keep coming.

Think conferences, ballrooms, dining. Also great characters. It might sound like a small thing and a minor bonus when you consider the Switch itself has its own display and is built expressly with this kind of thing in mind but moving to a 13.3-inch screen is still a step up. Connect Through Screen Mirroring in iPhone. The display quality is decent enough; the Z1 Gamut has 100% SRGB support, and compares favourably to the other screens we tested here. You can also go through thiscompatible listto find out the other DP Alt Mode Compatible Devices. But you have a few good games there already (Astral Chain, Mario+Rabbids, Octopath Traveler). Consider BOTW that screen is good for portable but to enjoy a bigger screen more then laptop size is better for enjoyment.

When I had FE, that is all I played.

Why have more things in the way if you just Docked. Both are 15.6 inches and one is 1080p with HDR and free sync and the other is 4K with HDR and free sync as well. It does require a mini HDMI, but one is included with the the box, as well as a USB-C to USB A charger than can run off the usb from the switch dock (or in my case, my Genki dock).

On the positive side, the stereo speakers are powerful and the quality of the image is striking; colours really pop on this display.

If you get it, I would say: 1. put the screen protector that comes in the box right away. If that works good, I'll just sell this portable monitor. Don't fancy the C-Force CF011X but still shopping on a budget? The 'bump' on the back where most of the internal components reside is also rather large, and we don't like the fact that the volume/brightness rocker is on the back and therefore awkward to reach. Especially if your setup purpose is to work on documents, these I/O connectivity options should be a must.

I really do like the idea of somehow using my MBP screen with the switch but the idea I shared of using the elgato wasnt recommended from @damo ( https://twitter.com/DamienMcFerran/status/1337686652429406208?s=20 ). Also, O/T but what's Fire Emblem like? Excuse me but how long has this been public knowledge? In addition, some of the smartphones from the LG G & V series and the Razer and ROGH phone also include this functionality.

You got a Dock to your Big Screen what did you miss there? What the (U(&(& @350$$ smackers you kidding me this is like the LED projector that went *BUST. One USB-C cable is the most convenient way to connect a phone to a monitor.

C-Force's other option is one that we've featured previously on the site. Oh, and shmup fans should note that TATE mode is great on these things.

so, if I want to only spend around a hundred bucks on this, it seems like your option is the best.

@Whalehome some can't see outside the box as well here. The image quality is fantastic, even if it isn't quite as nice as the OLED-powered PU15-PRE (there's an IPS screen in Desklab's display) and there's no internal battery, but otherwise, this one offers a distinct advantage over 1080p screens which cost around the same price; it's future-proof and will come in handy when Nintendo eventually releases a console with 4K output.

Could you kindly advise which 4K portable monitor should I purchase? An entry-level home console which could easily be the cheapest and physically smallest on the market. With the assistance of a portable monitor, you can quickly turn your smartphone into a primary computer to perform productive works on a bigger screen. Most multiplayer Switch games allow for local multiplayer of multiple Switches. If you're playing a four-player title, a screen this size certainly beats crowding everyone around the Switch's display. I just placed the order for it.

Now connect the one end of the DP ALT mode capable USB C with the phone and another end to the port of the portable monitor. I tried to get Amazon to price match but they wouldn't, so I. just placed a new order and will return the old one. @Agramonte How about Audio out how's that work?

Put it those screens cost a pretty penny and breaking them constantly will not help your gaming funds.

The display itself is also slightly dull and lifeless, and the speakers are quite weak. I've been using my dock for this but might try without and just use the USB-C cable @DTfeartheBEARD Thanks.

So trying to figure what they are trying to do here?

The 1080p panel offers 100% sRGB and a 144Hz refresh rate, as well as features such as HDR and Free-sync. The LCD panel doesn't pop quite as much as the OLED's display, but it's bright and sharp. Follow the first three steps to set up the dongle on the portable monitor. You could try the Lepow Z1 Gamut (these screens have the best names), which costs only slightly more at $200 but offers a similar kind of experience.

Finally, the speakers are really weedy.

I got it for work to set up my Surface GO at hotels.

We were supplied with review samples of the screens featured in this round-up by the companies who manufacture them. Oh that looks nice, and more inline with your Elago idea (the macbook screen would look great) You probably can still get a refund from Amazon - they had the extended returns till end of the month.

But I also plug the Switch charger on one USB-C port and the switch on another and it works. If you are using the iPad in vertical, and the monitor should display vertical. So your lacking a whale of imagination here.

This method is straightforward, requires fewer cables, and is cost-effective. Thebattery monitorshould be around 5000 mAH or more to let you work efficiently for a couple of hours. Can you change the output from iPad to monitor to display vertically? UPERFECT replied:Thanks for asking. I don't see much point for these, My TV died a few months ago and I was quite happy and content to play my Switch in handheld mode until I got a new TV, Why would anybody carry around a screen that doesn't have the rest of the Laptop attached or even be a Tablet for that matter. For consoles that don't support TV-out over USB-C, you can purchase a special cable that converts standard HDMI into USB-C.

And use it for the Surface GO, Switch and my phone.

How is that not the lead? Of do you have to have the HDMI as per a normal TV? Obviously you have never traveled with someone else that wanted to play together. And then instead of recording, I'd just watch on the MBP screen using that as a monitor. This touch-capable 1080p display comes with 2 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A, a full-size HDMI port and even a 3.5mm audio jack. Always pack the USBc that comes in the box. Merry Christmas! 2) HDMI + USB-A + NO type C. How do I connect the monitor to function as 2nd monitor?

TATE mode is another big bonus here.

Connect the monitor to the electric outlet if it is not battery powered. All the people arguing against having a portable monitor to play Switch have zero imagination You cant fathom a single instance in which someone might prefer to have a screen that quadruples the switchs screen size?

Method 2: Connect with IOS/Android HDMI Adapter, Don't worry if your phone or portable desktop is DP Alt Mode enabled. The screen isn't quite as good as the one on the more expensive C-Force CF016XT, however, but you get what you pay for. The portable monitors come in different sizes, resolutions, , and even their portability varies from model to model.

Sort of something that can take all your time (might get burned out if you play it after Octopath great change of pace during/after Astral) Should have taken a picture of my setup during travel with the screen. If I knew that where I was going would have a tv for me, then I would probably just bring my dock like youre saying, as would most people I believe. This guide will discuss how to connect your phone to a portable monitor in various ways. Pros: Amazing quality screen, Big size, touch support, Cons: Might be too large for some users, design is rather boring. Lepow's Lite H1 is the smallest monitor included in this list and retails for a very reasonable $199.99. @Averagewriter : The Switch Lite isn't designed to output video via HDMI, so, no. These monitors have a purpose which is why they exist. I have 2 old notebooks with the following ports. The steep price is all to do with the tech involved; not only is this a massive screen, but it's also OLED and gives it a distinct advantage over the IPS panels on the market.

I asked damo but he tends not to reply to me b/c I'm a PITA. Subtitles?

It enables you to connect your smartphone to the portable monitor without any physical wire connection. It's a 15.6-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1080p perfect for the Switch, which can't output higher than that in docked mode. Now I just pack my Switch charger.

But I would just try it then, I actually just packed mine for my Christmas trip to play the FireEmblem DLC (I find the text way to small on the handheld).

I know the Switch Lite is supposed to be missing the chip to output but if these work why not that? It's by no means a dealbreaker, but we'd have liked a bit more 'oomph' when it comes to audio quality.
