VILVA - Triple Portable Monitor

Don't get it! Edit: To add more context I had one of these or similar. One USB C port is garbage. You can spend another $20 and get one that has two USB C ports and PD so you can charge your deck through the monitor. It's not a great purchase. Edit to edit my edit: I looked on Amazon just to see. Portable monitors with dual USB C range from $65-$90. I think the one I got was like $85 and that was a year or more ago.

VILVA and apparently I got it back in August of 2023 so more like a year and a half ago.

The deck was enough to power the single USB and my dual USB but I prefer to have my deck charging. But my phone wasn't enough to power either screen and would constantly power on and off. But yes I get what you're saying, just in my case that wasn't an issue.

One USB absolutely will work. But it means you can't charge your deck which kinda of defeats the purpose.

You can power a monitor via the decks USB c. The monitor says 5v at 3a which would be 15w, which the deck can easily support. But it drains your battery significantly faster and defeats the purpose.

I wonder if OLED vs LCD makes a big difference in power consumption or draw. Both my LCD monitors could run fine on the decks battery if I needed them to. They didn't like running at full brightness but I usually play in the dark anyways.
