In this review, we evaluate a 15.6-inch portable monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution, purchased for 36 Euros. Abstract:  I bought a 15.6-inch portable monitor (1920x1080) from Temu.com for 36 Euros. After testing, I found the quality to be excellent, with well-thought-out design features. 1 Digital Nomads and Their Gadgets While browsing Temu.com, I came across a 15.6-inch portable monitor (1920x1080) priced at 36 Euros, including shipping. The price caught my attention, and after checking customer reviews— all of which were positive— I was intrigued. A monitor at such a low price seemed almost too good to be true. After a few days of consideration, I decided to order one. Given the price, the risk was minimal. Product Details: Brand: Shenzhen Monitor Factory
Model: NC156A
Specifications: 15.6" Portable Monitor, 1920x1080
Price: 36 Euros (including shipping)
Seller: Temu.com 2 Package Arrival The monitor arrived in 13 days via mail. The packaging was excellent, comparable to well-known brands. The box included an instruction manual— though the English was sometimes unusual, it was detailed enough for setup. Interestingly, customer support uses a Hotmail.com email address.  They sent some “panda stickers” too, as a symbol of China. I see no difference in packaging compared to some brand name like HP, only the manual would be a more classy. Here is what was in the box: 3 Examining equipment and Setup Upon inspection, the build quality looked impressive. The monitor included two stand options: A plastic standalone stand
A plastic-magnetic folder stand If this were a well-known brand like HP, people would praise the "great design". Now, they are saying “they copied someone else’s design”. Regardless, the design works well. Device offers 2 ways of connecting the laptop, for new laptops, a single USB-C cable for signal and power. For older laptops, HDMI for signal, with power from a classical USB-C power adapter. In both cases, I successfully connected the monitor to my laptop and set up dual-screen functionality on Windows 11. 4 Image Quality The main question: How good is the display?To test this, I created a typical developer/debugging setup. The image quality is comparable to my laptop’s display, providing clear and sharp visuals for everyday tasks. Given its 15.6-inch size, content appears slightly smaller but remains readable. 5 Conclusion My first impressions of this monitor are very positive. If the same hardware had an HP or Dell logo and was priced around 100€, I would still consider it a great purchase. Interestingly, there is no brand or logo on the monitor, packaging, or manual. Despite this, I’m impressed enough with the product that I would gladly look for others from the same company, even at a higher price in the future. However, it appears to be an unbranded, no-name product. However, long-term durability remains to be seen. Only time will tell if any defects arise.
