3.2 Connecting to Devices

The BIGASUO portable monitor offers versatile connectivity options. Ensure your device has sufficient power or connect the included AC adapter to the monitor's DC-5V port for stable operation.

3.2.1 Single Cable Connection (Type-C)

For devices with a full-featured Type-C port (supporting DP protocol), a single Type-C to Type-C cable can provide both power and video signal.

Note: When powered solely by the Type-C cable, the screen brightness may be reduced by half. For optimal brightness, connect the AC adapter.

3.2.2 Two Cable Connection (Mini-HDMI + USB)

For devices using Mini-HDMI, you will need to connect both the Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for video and a Type-C to USB cable (or AC adapter) for power.

Note: The HDMI port does not supply power. The portable monitor requires an external power supply (via the DC-5V port or a Type-C power delivery port) when using HDMI.

3.2.3 Phone Connection

Connect your smartphone to the monitor for an expanded view. For phones with a Type-C port, use a Type-C to Type-C cable. Older iPhones (before iPhone 15) require a Lightning to HDMI adapter (not included).
