The touch function works with a MacBook Pro 2024 with M4 chip, as the monitor supports multi-touch and gesture control under macOS. A USB-C cable is recommended for connecting and using the touch function, as video, touch signals and power supply can be transmitted simultaneously via USB-C. The USB-C cable therefore enables a simple one-cable solution for image, touch and power delivery.

Yes, this is possible with a mobile phone if it supports USB-C with video output. For the touch function, a USB-C connection with DP Alt Mode is generally required; via HDMI alone, only the image is transmitted.

The touch function is particularly useful via USB-C with devices that support video and touch signals via the same connection. Touch does not work with HDMI alone; only the image is displayed.
For your questions, this means:
- Android mobile phone: Yes, if the mobile outputs USB-C with DisplayPort Alt mode and touch support via USB-C.
- iPhone: Not confirmed as a general standard solution; for iPhone it depends heavily on the model and the adapters, and the available information does not provide any certainty.
- PC: Yes, touch is supported with Windows and also macOS, most easily via USB-C.
If you want to control the Android mobile phone "directly as on the mobile phone", this is only possible with this monitor if the mobile phone accepts external touch inputs cleanly via USB-C. The monitor itself does not mirror the mobile phone screen with its own Android interface, but serves as a touch input screen for compatible devices.
With the information available, I cannot confirm with certainty that a monitor that operates an Android mobile phone in this form generally and guaranteed "as if directly on the mobile". I am not entirely sure whether there is a reliable solution for this with all Android mobiles; the information is not sufficient for this.

Yes, this is generally possible as a second monitor, provided the laptop uses Windows or macOS as an extended desktop and the monitor is recognised as an additional display device. The monitor supports Windows 10/11 and macOS, has HDMI and USB-C for image and touch, and can also transmit touch signals with a USB-C cable.
The important thing is:
- For normal use as a second monitor, the laptop must be running in "expand screen" mode so that you can move windows between the displays.
- Touch only works if the touch input is also set up correctly; touch does not work with HDMI alone.
- For a closed laptop, the system must support lid operation with external monitors; this is a function of the laptop or docking, not the monitor.
If you want, I can also briefly tell you how to set it up as an extended touch second screen under Windows or on a Mac.

The Minix offers a 16:10 display with a higher resolution, which gives you a little more working space in height.
The Verbatim is more of a simple standard portable monitor with classic 16:9 Full HD.
According to the manufacturer, no separate transport bag is specified as standard.
Helpful answer
Yes and no. It depends on which device you have.
In the worst case, you watch Netflix on the screen of your device and the monitor just shows the same picture, only bigger.
In the best case (e.g. with my Samsung S24+) you can open the Netflix app in DeX, display it in full screen mode and enjoy Netflix in a nice 16-inch window.

Yes, this works; the monitor supports the Nintendo Switch via its HDMI input or via USB-C (DisplayPort Alt-Mode), depending on the connection options of your Switch dock solution.
The monitor has a full-format HDMI input (TMDS HDMI v1.4) and a USB-C port with DisplayPort Alt mode, both compatible with the Switch.

Normally the touch on mac is not supported as no mac product has the touchscreen. in my tests I noticed that generally if the cursor is placed on the external screen, all in all it works but I have not tested it in depth because I am not interested. some users have found it useful to install external drivers like those provided by touch-base.com

Transmitting but with fewer colours and touchscreen is not possible.
According to the supplier, it is 60 Hz.
Not without an adapter.

Yes, you can use the display with an Android tablet in portrait format. The monitor is Android compatible and offers a USB-C connection that supports transmission of video, audio and touch signals, allowing you to use both devices in portrait mode to view applications with pages on each device. In addition, the monitor has a lightweight design and a foldable stand that allows the angle to be adjusted for more comfortable viewing.

You will need a separate power cable to supply power to the display. The Raspberry Pi 5 cannot supply enough power via its USB or HDMI ports to fully power the display. Therefore, the display should be supplied with power via its own USB-C port or another suitable power supply cable.
You will need an HDMI cable to connect the Raspberry Pi 5 to the display, as the display has an HDMI port.

To operate this monitor with a touch pen, you need a capacitive stylus that is compatible with capacitive touchscreens.

Just recently used it with a much older Pi (can't remember which model). Display worked fine, touch input didn't, but I didn't try to set it up either.

The MINIX SF16T Touch Monitor can also be used as an additional monitor for a desktop PC, but with some restrictions:
- Touch function: the touch function of the SF16T Touch Monitor works best when it is connected via a USB-C port with DP Alt mode, which is not the case with many desktop PCs. Without a USB-C port with DP Alt mode, the touch function cannot be used. An HDMI cable or an adapter such as the H1 would enable image transmission, but not the touch function.
- Connection without touch: If you want to use the version without touch (SF16) or the SF16T without the touch function, you can connect the device to your desktop PC via the full-size HDMI port. This enables image transmission, but not the touch function.
- Additional connections: It is important to note that the device also has USB-C and USB-A ports, which can act as a HUB, but a corresponding USB-C port is required for the touch function.
So overall, it is possible to use the device as an additional monitor for a desktop PC, but the touch function will only work with a corresponding USB-C connection.

The touch function does not work with an HDMI connection
I tried with Samsung's S pen and I couldn't.
I am not sure if other pens with wider pen tip are working.
Helpful answer
