Setup
Connecting Your Device
The Dopesplay portable monitor offers flexible connectivity options to suit various devices. Ensure your device's USB-C port supports full functionality (DisplayPort Alternate Mode and Power Delivery) for single-cable connection.
Option 1: Single USB-C Cable Connection (for compatible devices)
If your laptop or device has a full-featured USB-C port, you can connect the monitor using a single USB-C to USB-C cable. This cable will transmit both video signal and power to the monitor.
Figure 2: Connection options for the portable monitor. The top diagram illustrates a single USB-C connection, while the bottom shows HDMI and USB-A connections with external power.
Option 2: HDMI and USB-A Connection (for devices without full-featured USB-C)
For devices that do not support video output over USB-C or require separate power, use the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable for video signal and a USB-A to USB-C cable for power. An external power adapter (5V/3A or higher) may be required, especially if adjusting brightness above 80% or if the connected device cannot supply sufficient power.
Monitor Ports and Buttons
Familiarize yourself with the ports and buttons on the side of the monitor for optimal use.
- Mini HDMI Input: For video input from devices with HDMI output.
- USB-C Input (x2): For video, data, and power input from compatible devices.
- Headphone Jack: For connecting external audio devices.
- Rotate Button: To adjust screen orientation.
- Power On/Off / Back Button: Controls power and navigates menus.
Note: If you wish to adjust the brightness above 80%, an external power supply of 5V/3A or higher is required.

Operating Instructions
Display Modes (Mac & Windows)

Gaming Console Connection (e.g., Nintendo Switch)
Connect your gaming console directly to the monitor using a single USB-C cable (if supported by the console) or HDMI for video and a USB-C cable for power. The monitor can power both itself and the console simultaneously, eliminating the need for a separate dock.
