Does it work with a MacBook?

Yes, over USB-C. A single cable carries video and power on USB-C laptops that support DisplayPort Alt Mode.

Can I use it with a Nintendo Switch or camera?

Yes, through the mini HDMI port. You will need a mini HDMI to HDMI cable or adapter, and power over USB-C.

Why do Netflix and other streaming apps show a black screen?

The monitor does not support HDCP, so copy-protected video may not play. Use the laptop's own screen for those apps.

Is it good for gaming?

It runs at 60 Hz with a 5 ms response, which is fine for casual and strategy games but not for fast shooters.

Does it have a battery?

No. It draws power from the connected device or a USB-C power source.

The monitor, a USB-C cable and a mini HDMI cable, plus a protective sleeve in most bundles.

Our take on the Mobile Pixels Fold Portable Monitor 16-inch

The Mobile Pixels Fold is a 15.6-inch 1080p IPS portable monitor that folds down for travel. It connects over USB-C or mini HDMI and has built-in speakers, a 60 Hz panel and 300 nits of brightness. It suits remote workers, students and anyone who wants a second screen without a desktop monitor. Against rivals like the ASUS ZenScreen and AOC I1601FWUX, it offers the same 1080p IPS panel and USB-C single-cable setup, but its foldable design and speakers set it apart while its 300 nits and lack of HDCP put it behind brighter competitors for outdoor use and protected video playback.
