How to use XScreen portable monitor for the dual-screen setup?
In recent years, dual monitor settings have become ubiquitous in the office. Many offices advocate equipping employees with dual monitors to improve work efficiency. Use one monitor for searching, one monitor for typing, and two monitors will be useful to the staff.
Even if your office does not maintain a dual-screen setting, in this severe coronavirus situation, you may want to maintain an office environment at home to enhance the performance of your home and home office.
In addition, if we are not talking about home office, sometimes you may want to use a larger monitor to display your phone screen, laptop screen, switch screen, etc. At that time, you might want to have a portable screen. There is an excellent portable display-I suggest you use XScreen with touch screen capabilities.
When you have XScreen, you may be confused about how to use XScreen. So this is a text version guide on how to use our XScreen portable display. If you want to watch the video version of the XScreen portable display guide, you can still read the following.
About charging
There are ports on the side of the XScreen portable display for different functions. When talking about charging, you can see the Type-C power charging port according to the picture above. Some X-type cables in the package can charge XScreen.
The package content contains:
Type-C to Type-C cable x1
USB-A to Type C cable x1
Both of them can be used for charging XScreen portable screen. Mobile won't be able to charge XScreen. XScreen will charge mobile instead. However, if connected to the laptop via type C, can charge XScreen instead.
Connecting your device to XScreen portable monitor
To achieve dual-screen for the purpose of the home office, you need to connect your device to the XScreen portable monitor first. If you want to know how to connect your computer, mobile phone(HTC and Samsung), and gaming device to XScreen, please refer to this XScreen review. There are some videos to you for reference in the review.
Many people may use Apple products in their home office. If your device is an Apple product (except Macbook, because Macbook has a Type-C port), you need to use another lightning adapter to convert the plug. If the plug is converted to Type-C, we are not sure whether the adapter supports data transmission. Most of them only support charging, but not data transmission. Therefore, if you want to use XScreen portable displays for Apple products, it would be better to convert the adapter. (The adapter needs to be connected to a power source.) If you don't want to use an adapter, you can use the wireless version of XScreen.
Not all USB-C ports support video output. If you want to check whether your device is compatible with XScreen portable monitor, you can refer to the list HERE to see whether it supports video output over Type-C cable. If you still confuse about it, you can contact us for further inquiries.
If you find that your device does not support USB-C video output, the wireless version of XScreen may be more suitable for you.
For Windows 10, if they are connected, they can also enable the touch screen function. You can add USB A to the Type-C cable.
