By Over the last five years, the cost of portable monitors has decreased incredibly quickly. Amazon offers 15.6-inch 1080p portable displays for far less than $100, such as the InnoView Portable Monitor.
Specs and Features
The 15.6-inch 1920×1080 panel on the InnoView Portable Monitor is based on IPS technology. The display claims to offer HDR (more on that later), however, it does not support Adaptive Sync. There are two USB-C ports and an HDMI port for connectivity.
- 15.6-inch display with a 16:9 aspect ratio
- 1920 x 1080 native resolution
- Type of panel: IPS LCD
- 60 Hz is the refresh rate.
- No adaptive sync
- HDR: In agreement
- Ports: 3.5mm audio-out, 2 USB-C, and 1 HDMI
- Audio: two speakers
- Extra features: carrying a case and a stand
- Price: $89.99 MSRP (normal retail price: $60 to $80).
Of course, the price is the main attraction. The monitor’s $89.99 MSRP is low in the first place, and it hardly ever retails at MSRP like many other displays on Amazon. The price has a history of fluctuating between $60 and $80, with the lowest price ever recorded being $59.99 in July 2025.
Design
A portable monitor that costs as little as $60 should appear inexpensive, right? Indeed, it does. Before moving further into production, other brands can use the InnoView Portable Monitor as a first-pass prototype to evaluate a panel. It is made of basic, thin, matte-black polymers with a texture that is generic and hardly noticeable.
InnoView makes up for that, though, by including a kickstand case with the display that covers the majority of the outside. Although it’s not particularly pretty either, the extra cushioning and scratch resistance allay my worries about its long-term viability.
Additionally, unless you bring your stand, you should leave the case in place because it serves as the stand, and the monitor is pretty useless without it. The stand features multiple tiny bumps that hold the display in place at various angles, and it folds to keep the display in place. However, this can be inconvenient because it limits the tilt options.
Connectivity
The connectivity of the portable monitor is unaffected by the compromises made to the InnoView’s design in order to meet pricing points.
It features two USB-C ports and one full-sized HDMI port, both of which support USB Power Delivery to power the display and DisplayPort for video input. Inputs for the majority of contemporary portable displays are the same. Compared to certain thinner devices that use the less popular mini- or micro-HDMI interface, the full-sized HDMI is a slight advantage.
Since InnoView does not include a USB power brick with the portable monitor, you will need to either bring your own or connect the monitor to a power-supplying USB device. At least one HDMI and one USB-C cable are included with the display.
Features and Audio
Despite being simple, the menu system on the InnoView Portable Monitor is better than I had anticipated. The volume and power buttons on the right side of the monitor are used by users to access and manage the menus. Despite the awkwardness of this arrangement, portable displays frequently use it, and the buttons on the InnoView are responsive.
However, the menus don’t offer many more functions if that’s what you’re looking for. A 4:3 aspect ratio, audio settings, and some color image modifications (such as color temperature) are supported, but that’s about it.
I was pleasantly surprised by the speakers on the InnoView. Even at maximum volume, they are a little quiet, but they provide crisp, clear sound that is rarely muddy. More than other portable monitors, the speakers can handle YouTube, podcasts, video chats, and background music at low volumes.
Performance
The InnoView Portable Monitor only accepts an HDR signal and lists HDR support. The monitor does not have the brightness and color capabilities necessary to provide HDR, as evidenced by the image quality results. HDR will frequently appear worse than SDR; thus, I don’t advise using it on this display.
Additionally, motion performance is inconsistent. The monitor has a 60Hz refresh rate. Although the monitor’s menu system has a “Free Sync” setting, adaptive sync support is not promoted. Regretfully, during my testing, it didn’t seem to work.
Concluation
It’s not a very good monitor, the InnoView Portable. But for a very low price, it’s a workable monitor with decent image quality and solid connectivity. Customers should avoid the InnoView if they are concerned about HDR, motion clarity, or image quality. However, the InnoView Portable Monitor is a good option for those who want to spend as little money as possible on a portable display that is functional.
