Comparison between different XScreen Portable Monitor
There are different versions of portable screens on the market now. The portable monitor usually is ideal for people to work, study, play, and everyday use. When you are working or studying, you can use the original monitor to have a meeting and use the second monitor to write some documents. When you are playing games like PS4 and Switch in your bedroom, there may not be a large monitor for you to play games. The portable monitor will be more convenient for you to play games in your bedroom. Therefore, portable monitors have become common in our usual life.
Hence, Lexuma launched 5 versions of portable displays - wired 1080p XScreen, wired 1080p XScreen (without built-in battery), wireless 1080p XScreen Air, metallic wired 1080p XScreen Plus, and metallic wired 4K XScreen Plus.

When you use your mobile device in portrait orientation and you are connecting with an external monitor, the screen of the external monitor cannot be fully utilized. There will be some black edge near the screen displayed. It is because those second monitors are in landscape mode and demonstrating a mobile screen which is in portrait mode.
The wireless version of XScreen can be set as the mode of orientation. In its portrait mode, the portable monitor can display the portrait screen of mobile devices and fully utilize the screen to display. You can use this special function to view the document (since most of the document file is portrait layout). It will be convenient for you to read documents when you are studying or working.

As long as the device has Type-C video output, that device can be connected with XScreen via cable and display video and image of the screen of the device.
For the wireless version of portable display, there are two methods for you to choose. You can connect wireless XScreen with the device via Wi-Fi or through the cable. If the device supports Type-C video output, you can connect it with XScreen in both ways. However, if the device does not support Type-C video output, you cannot connect it through cable (but you can still connect it wirelessly).

And the battery capacity of XScreen Plus version is larger than the XScreen version.
If you are connecting to a power bank or power supply, the battery level will depend on the battery level of the power bank or power supply. If you want to function XScreen for a longer time, you can connect it with a power bank with a large battery level.

Wireless 1080p XScreen Air: Allow

Therefore, if you always charge the XScreen by normal power bank, you can consider the XScreen portable monitor in XScreen, XScreen Air series, and Metallic wired 1080p XScreen Plus
However, if you are using Power Delivery power bank, all XScreen can be charged. Therefore, if you really need to charge the Metallic wired 4K XScreen Plus by power bank, you can use the Power Delivery power bank.

(The touch screen function of XScreen is available to Type-C data output. If your devices do not support Type-C data output, you can still activate the touch screen function by using the USB A to Type-C Cable.)
However, even if your device supports touch screen feedback, the wireless version of XScreen cannot provide the touch screen function no matter when connected via cable or wirelessly.
Therefore, if you want to use touch screen function on XScreen, the wired version (XScreen and XScreen Plus series) is the preference.
