## Description

16MR70.ASDU1 16” gram +view IPS Protable Monitor

Review: Works great with 2022 Macbook Air M2 - I bought this because it was recommended by the New York Times Wirecutters. I had some concerns about my 2022 Macbook Air M2 not displaying correctly on this portable display, because of Apple's Retina display scaling that can render text and images fuzzy on non-Apple displays, but I am beyond impressed with the picture quality on this display using my M2 Air with the default USB C cable the display came with. The color and clarity are fantastic. (Check out the Wirecutters article "The Best Portable Monitor," By Dave Gershgorn, Updated May 12, 2023, for more details about Mac fuzziness and a possible fix if you have this experience.) The resolution settings defaulted to 1280x800 (image/text were still nice at crisp at this resolution) but that was easy enough to change in my display settings. I just had to go into Display settings, select the external monitor, turn on the "See All Resolutions" settings to show all possible resolutions. The text is a little too small when the display is set to 2000x1600, but it's just right for my eyes on 1920x1200. Putting this here in case it's helpful to someone else. Annoyingly, the resolution seems to reset whenever I reboot my laptop... but that's a Mac issue, not a problem with the monitor. Setting the display to portrait (vertical) orientation using a Mac was super easy. Just go into the Display settings, click on the external display, and look for the Rotation setting. Set this to 90° and you're done. I was also concerned about my M2 Air not powering this portable display adequately, but digging around for the wattage requirements gave me hope. (This display requires USB PD with 7.5W.) I plugged the display into my Air and it powered up flawlessly, though that's using the burly USB C cable the display came with. Not sure if it will work with a different USB C cable... that's a test for another day. Not a super fan of the weird magnetic stand/cover hybrid, which does not feel terribly stable, but the display is so lightweight it doesn't stress the magnet at all. Still, I'll potentially hang it on the wall over my laptop instead. I do appreciate the two USB C ports and the brightness button. Would be nice if the button also controlled contrast, color, etc, as it seems that you need special Windows software to control all of that. Womp womp. But other than this one caveat, I've very happy with my purchase. It's a pretty sweet display. It's much more expensive than the others I considered, such as the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV, which was also mentioned in Wirecutters. If you're looking for a cheaper option, check that one out... but I couldn't find any clear details on how well it would work with a Mac, which is why I ended up buying this LG model.
Review: Buy it if you realllly need it when you work outside of your office or home. - This portable monitor works really well overall. Connectivity is quick and responsive with true plug-and-play, and it’s great as an extra screen for working on the go. The brightness is solid, and I like that it runs directly from USB-C without needing another power source. It is a bit expensive, but the sleek design and size balance that out. The only drawback is the 60Hz refresh rate — not ideal for gaming, though perfectly fine for office work.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the battery life?**
A: The LG Gram 16MQ70 portable monitor does not have a battery. To use it, you must plug it into your laptop or PC. ^Jennifer

**Q: There are 2 usb-c ports ..can i run one cable from a usb wall outlet to monitor (for power) and one cable from lg gram laptop to monitor (for signal)?**
A: I've seen 3-5 related questions that can be summed up in 1: how is it possible for an lg gram 2022 with 2x usb-c ports to drive 2x +view monitors while powering the laptop. 2022 Lg grams require 1x of the usb-c ports for power. The remaining usb-c port would be connected to the 1st +view. Although the +view itself has 2x usb-c ports, the other port CANNOT be used to power the laptop via passthrough. I have tried it with all the appropriate cables. Also, +view monitors cannot be "daisy chained". I have tried that as well. The +views DP alt mode does not allow daisy chaining of multiple monitors. The only option appears to be an external usb-c hub that splits and outputs 2 independent DP alt mode signals. I have yet to find one. Jennifer's answers are inaccurate or misleading, so I hope someone else can step in with informed advice. I hope this helps others who are in the same boat and have been given inaccurate information. Thank you communithy.

**Q: I bought 2 of these, and i am not able to make both work. i am using the original cables.   how do i get 2 working? what is exact config needed?**
A: Your PC or Laptop you're connecting to should have USB 3.1 Type C which supports DP ALT-MODE. I have same problem. My old PC doesn't work but my new LG Gram laptop works.

**Q: Does it have touchscreen?**
A: No, the 16MQ70 is a portable monitor only, and does not have touchscreen. ^Jennifer

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely amazing for travel. Gorgeous display.
*by D***S on July 30, 2024*

Bought this to take with me when I work and travel and it is incredible. It was a bit trick to figure out the stand, but once you get it, it's easy. Tip: see where the magnet connects to the back of the display on the side and the bottom, and then you'll get a feel for it. Only took a couple tries and now I get it propped up seamlessly. It's super light and the display is really crisp. The only thing that would make it better is if it supported a higher refresh rate than 60hz, but that wasn't my intended use, so I'm happy with it.
