LG gram +view 16" 16:10 WQXGA Portable IPS LED Monitor, Silver

2025-06-23T20:00:00

The display is average, don't get me wrong, but at 330 nits it's far from bright. I'm used to OLED vivid color and extreme blacks and brightness. Saying that, the colors on this monitor are decent not anywhere near OLED level. I have nothing but OLED LG screens in my house, B9 65in, C2 42in, 45in OLED LG gaming monitor, and a 32in 4k 1080p LG gaming monitor. I am a huge LG fan. But this display slightly disappoints. What I really like about the monitor is the 2k resolution and the power draw from a single usb-c cable connected to your pc. I wish this monitor had the option for a faster refresh rate, capped at 60hz, to be able to do some decent gaming, but looks like that is not possible. For what it offers i believe it's a bit expensive and there are other options out there with better functionality. This works well for my use, work as a second monitor, but anything other then work related..... I would chose another monitor. At thus point I am thinking of returning it and by a Uperfect portable monitor that cost about the same as this and offers 500 nits, 3k, OLED, 120hz, and higher color accuracy plus 0.1ms even gaming. Though I would recommend for a normal portable monitor that you don't expect too much from. We are mainly paying for the name here. It only comes with a stand, which is also very flimsy. The coating on screen is flat and does not reflect much lighting. The resolution and screen and decent for reading and typing as the text does look sharp. Would recommend, not for muti use (work, entertainment, play)

The LG Gram +View 16" IPS Portable Monitor is an absolute necessity for anyone who needs extra screen space without being tied down to a desk. Whether you're a digital nomad, a business professional, or a creative looking for more flexibility, this portable monitor is the perfect addition to your mobile workstation. Portability Without Compromise At just under 2 pounds and measuring 16 inches, the Gram +View is designed for portability, making it incredibly easy to carry in your backpack or laptop bag. Despite its light weight, it doesn't feel flimsy at all-LG has done a great job making it feel sturdy while maintaining its sleek, ultra-thin profile. The included protective cover also doubles as a stand, adding another layer of convenience without any bulk. Brilliant Display for All Your Needs The 16-inch WQXGA (2560 x 1600) IPS display is nothing short of stunning. The clarity, vibrant colors, and sharpness of the screen make it perfect for anything from video editing and graphic design to presentations or simply expanding your screen real estate for improved productivity. Whether you're reviewing documents, editing photos, or watching a movie, the visuals are top-notch. The 16:10 aspect ratio is another plus, giving you that extra bit of vertical space that's especially useful for professionals working with documents, spreadsheets, or coding. Seamless Connectivity and Easy Setup One of the best features of the LG Gram +View is how simple it is to set up. With two USB-C ports that support DisplayPort Alt Mode, connecting the monitor to your laptop or tablet is effortless. No need for extra drivers or complicated software installations-it's plug-and-play. Plus, the dual USB-C ports allow for easy connection from either side, adding to its overall convenience. The ultra-fast refresh rate ensures smooth visuals, perfect for handling everything from video editing to casual gaming. Efficient, Professional Design The design of the Gram +View is both elegant and practical. The matte finish reduces glare, ensuring you get clear visuals even in brightly lit environments or outdoors. The adjustable stand allows you to position the monitor in landscape or portrait mode, which is excellent for tasks like coding or reading. Plus, the thin bezels create an immersive experience, especially when using it alongside your primary display.

I absolutely love this monitor. It even comes with a folio/stand with one magnetic end. You can fold it into a triangle and place it behind the monitor several different ways to get your preferred viewing angle. I prefer a more upright position that what they have pictured so I place mine vertically behind the monitor instead of horizontally. And as a bonus, you can unfold the folio stand and use it to cover the monitor when you travel. The small magnetic end would fold around to the back. I place the unfolded folio stand between the laptop screen and the laptop and place them in the bag together. It's barely over 1/4" thick. Also, you can connect the USBc cable to either side of the monitor depending on whether you prefer it to the left or right of the laptop. I have mine paired with an LG Gram 17" laptop and although the laptop screen is slightly wider than the portable one, there's really very little difference. There's a brightness control on the side of the monitor and you can control scale, resolution, and orientation via software settings. My LG Gram has a USBc port that I can connect the monitor to but I prefer to connect them both via an IVIIN Thunderbolt 4 Docking Station (Dual Monitor 4K or Single 8K@60Hz). There's several extra ports for connecting other things like charging your watch or phone.

been using it while traveling for over a year now and it has always worked well, much better than trying to rely on an ipad as the second monitor

Functions well enough for my needs, but there are three issues that make is feel like a lazy cash-grab from LG: 1. It is overly large. I am pairing this with the 16Z90Q 16-inch Gram laptop. This screen (which keep in mind is JUST a screen, the same screen as what's in the laptop) is wider and taller than the laptop, and about the same thickness. This was quite frustrating as I was expecting something about the size of the laptop's lid. Its bevels are also larger, about twice the thickness of the laptop's on the top and sides, and a full inch on the bottom. 2. The only control on the screen is a brightness slider. The factory color calibration happens to work well enough for me, but all of the other "mobile" monitors I've used (from Asus) have full-fledged screen settings menus. This only has brightness control. 3. This has no mounting points for external stands and has no real built-in stand. I have it set up in a way where that is not a problem, but other mobile monitors (again looking at Asus) either have sturdy, built-in stands or mounting points or both. So this does seem like the laziest cash-grabbing attempt LG could make with this product, but it is well-constructed and does function well enough for my needs.

The portable monitor works very well connected to my laptoo (Lenovo Thinkpad) but not when connected through the C2G connector sold by Lenovo. I spoke with techs from both Lenovo and C2G and they recommended that I connected to the LG moinitor through a HDMI connection. . I went to the store and bought HDMI connecting cables, but that does not work either.

Gorgeous display, terrible stand.  The way that the stand attaches to the monitor is very odd.  It acts like a "Smart Cover" but overlaps in the corner in a very odd way.  the flap doesn't stay closed in your bag

Fantastic second screen for my 17" LG Gram. It slides into my case along with my laptop and performs flawlessly as a second screen. I have been using the 16MQ70 for over a year without any hitches.

I had 2 concerns when ordering this. A minor concern was the cover/stand, since many online reviewers seem dissatisfied with it, but so far it gets the job done, and for desk use it seems adequate. My main concern was display resolution, because MacOS has issues with external monitors that aren't 4k. However, I found a great free utility, BetterDisplay, which tricks MacOS into HiDPI mode with this monitor. After some experimenting, I have it set to 1600x1000 resolution, which makes everything approximately the same size as my MacBook screen at 1440x900, and I also changed Color Profile to Display M3 so the colors on both screens match. Finally, with the laptop plugged in, I haven't noticed any increase in CPU temp or memory usage. I'll mention though that my MacBook air is loaded with 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 8 core GPU, so the experience might be differnt with a base M1 MacBook Air.

I have used the monitor for the last several weeks and it works perfectly! Absolutely the best light weight second monitor for someone who maintains a mobile work environment.

The screen is great-good quality, very thin + sleek. No complaints about the screen. My problem is mostly with the stand. It's a bit flimsy and I have a hard time getting it to stay up on infirm surfaces.

I just unboxed this unit after reading a review that it weas the top recommended portable monitor for a MacBook Air. I have to say after looking at some Chinese 4K gaming screens (16") and the Asus ZenScreen, this is hands down the best one I've seen for my use. The screen is super bright with ONE USB C connection, the aspect ration is ideal (not a flat rectdangle) and the text is crisp and sharp. So bright, high contrast, super thin, super light, and it only needs ONE USB C port (not 1+power).

I'm used to working with a dual-monitor setup, so I always felt stifled when having to work remotely with only a laptop screen. Then I saw someone with a portable second monitor and knew I'd found my solution. This monitor has a good resolution (2560x1600), adjustable brightness (although the responsiveness is a little slow), and USB-C ports on both sides so you can easily put the monitor wherever you want. It comes with a protective cover that doubles as a stand, although you have to figure out where the hidden magnets are through trial and error since there are no instructions. It also stacks neatly on top of a 16" laptop, making it easy to carry around.

I bought this to use in my travels and for the first few months it worked great. Now it just turns on, but doesn't connect to the computer, and the computer doesn't recognize an additional monitor. I use an HP Elitebook with windows 10.

I bought this monitor a year ago from a micro center. It was the top of the line at the time and had a wide range of display capabilities. I use it primarily for work and connect it to my lenovo laptop. I have used it a total of roughly 4 times now over the course of a year and out of nowhere it stopped working. It will light up when plugged into an applicable power source, but when plugged into my laptop, there is no response from the monitor that it's even plugged in. My laptops don't notify me about anything being plugged in either. The screen is great when it works, but you may have to adjust your resolution. I tried restarting everything, researched the compatibility with thunderbolt, usb-c type resolution, tried a different cord, a different power bank, almost anything I could find at the time and nothing. It was working perfectly fine yesterday (day before writing this review), but now has no recognition of being plugged in. Don't waste you time, energy or money on this product and I highly recommend doing research on compatibility before choosing your portable monitor.

I absolutely love this portable monitor! I'm able to use it on my home and work computer with no issues. The display brightness and colors are awesome and I could not have asked for a better picture quality. However, in the next version, I highly recommend adding an HDMI slot so users can display their iPhone content, a headphone jack for speakers/headphones and finally, a better protective cover. I love the fact that the device is lightweight but adding these few extra features would make this monitor so much more appealing to a larger consumer base.

Everything about this feels very flimsy and cheap. The absolute worst part is the folio cover, which simply does not stay attached at all. It's definitely not going to do its job protecting anything. I have to keep masking tape on hand to tape it to the screen or it just falls right off. Take note the cover isn't even the width of the monitor like it was on the 16MQ70. Overall, I'm extremely disappointed in this. I'm thinking of returning it even before turning it on. What a shame.

Definitely like it. Using outdoors on my covered patio for work. Will probably travel with it too. The cover isn't as intuitive as I expected and not very sticky with magnets. Gets the job done.

Purchased this a couple of months ago and it worked flawlessly with a AMD Thinkpad Laptop but since I've upgraded to an Intel 12th Gen with Thunderbolt 4 and it does not work. Laptop is a P16s and also tried a T14s, both with TB 4 and neither recognizes the monitor. Monitor turns on but no image is displayed. Purchased a separate Thunderbolt 4 cable in hopes that it would solve the issue but still cannot get the monitor to work. Unfortunately I am now outside of the return window with a useless monitor.

I bought this product last month and am very pleased with its compatibility with my LG gram laptop. This screen extender has doubled my productivity in my work. I regret not getting this much sooner before.

It just works. No frills, plug it in via USB-C and it comes to life. Offers precious additional real estate for laptop. No battery built-in, so it's sleek, thin and light, no need to be concerned with charging. Powered entirely via USB-C. Which also means it's sipping battery from laptop (most of my use case).

Screen was crystal clear easy to setup lightweight and matched my LG. Gram 17 sadly the first time I put it in a padded carrying case to move location the screen was cracked. Almost like a piece of dust cracked it. I contacted LG thru their website and never received a response. Very disappointing. Now I?m concerned about the screen on the laptop

Bought this a couple weeks back and it has been great for work. Very portable and easy to set up. Pros: lightweight, stacks perfectly on my gram 16?, screen is similar quality to lg gram Cons: I wish there were more angles you could utilize.
