Lenovo Portable Monitor Standby Mode

Bought the Lenovo monitor and I'm loving it. High quality portable monitor. Bought it in store and one of their employees were very helpful and informative. Great experience overall

I needed a compact, simple, high-quality, secondary display to sit beside my main monitor. I very much wanted a portable monitor, but not to actually carry around with me, just not an ordinary display with the clutter of power cord/stand/etc. It will mostly be sitting in one place, but the nature of my work involves frequent changes to all the hardware connected to my system, so a degree of portability is great. What I also didn't really want was the usual origami case/cover/stand that comes with most portable monitors. I think they're great, but just not right for this particular usage. Before the Lenovo I tried an Asus Zenscreen, which was pretty awesome, but had a battery (great for true portable use!) but wouldn't power-up if the battery needed charging, which is a hassle I don't need. The Asus also had an HDMI input, which the Lenovo lacks, and also built-in speakers (if I recall correctly). Again, for true portable use, the speakers are almost a must-have, so for some people the Lenovo won't fit the bill. The lack of HDMI support is a little disappointing, for sure, but even though I would have made use of it, it also wasn't a deal breaker (for me). So, yes, if all you need is the display, and your computer/device supports video over USB-C, this is a great option. Minor gripe is the straight plug and length of the supplied USB-C cable. A right-angled plug and another foot or so of length would have been much better. I had to buy a separate cable, and (as I discovered the hard way!) not many USB-C cables support the alt mode of Displayport-over-USB, and the correct cable wasn't cheap! For me, in this particular scenario, this Lenovo is pretty much perfect. For some people it may be a little too basic, so for those people I'd say try the Asus.

I knew this monitor was going to be compatible with the USB-C to USB-C connection on my Lenovo ThinkPad, but I was a bit unsure whether it would require auxiliary power from my Dell Latitude work laptop. The Thunderbolt connection provided the same connectivity, and I could not be more pleased with the quality and simplicity of the Lilliput. So nice to have just this one cable providing the video and power to the portable monitor. Was not planning for touchscreen capabilities on my portable monitor, but for the price, this feature was a great add-on. I put this decision off for way too long...should have bought it month's ago!

Very good so far. Doesn’t lose power in standby mode and I use it with a GoPro hero 7black

I love this stand! It is exactly what I wanted for use with the new Standby Mode in iOS 17. It holds my phone at just the right height and angle for use at my bedside. The 7.5 watt power is plenty to charge my iPhone 14 Pro overnight. I don’t have AirPods yet, but I’m glad to have the base charger for the them when I get some. The only cons for this stand: both the base and the magnetic holder are not quite grippy enough, so the charger does move a little if I hit snooze too hard on the screen, and likewise the phone will tilt a bit sometimes. These are extremely minor quibbles and overall I’m very, very satisfied with this purchase. Also B&H shipped it to me very quickly!

Watson Lithium-Ion battery packs are great. Lasts long in standby mode. Holds charge not in use for weeks. No problems here. I’ve owned them for years.

Used it on two computers easily and have it on standby for more.

An old standby and reliable mic. Can't go wrong.

My old standby when I need to use hot lights.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lenovo's portable chargers have always been solid pieces of equipment and this one is no exception. Does the job, well-built, sturdy, not much in the way of frills but that's not what folks need it for. Highly recommend with no reservations. Not to mention the price is dynamite!
