Same JSHIX sells the monitor on Aliexpress for $108 (see the 4th, "touch" item) at https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...77745.html
Comes in very generic, unbranded "Portable monitor" box. Nice brightness (though listings vary - Amazon says 250nits, Aliexpress 300nits)

IMO this is a $150+ value for those that need it, compare to prior deal https://slickdeals.net/f/17414070

My only issue with it is that the OSD menus are in Chinese, so when i want to adjust brightness/contrast/volume with the side button, i have to reach for my phone to translate what the menu text is. I could not find a way to switch the language, don't think there is one.

Strange - where are you located?
I have seen occasionally such silliness on other listings (I am in California) but not on this one.

Doesn't California have some sort of recycling fee, payable up front?

Is there any way to get the touchscreen working when connected to a phone?

Scary bad rating (3.6). Ordered one anyway. If it sucks, I'm sure I'm going to have a bunch of other holiday Amazon returns so NBD.

Hard to tell, i feel the situation with phones is murky since they differ a lot - check what your maker say about that.
FWIW, the Aliexpress listing says (and btw while it looks identical, there's no guarantee they sell exactly the same model):
Quote :
Remarks for touch function:
  • Laptop/PC touch: only supports Windows system.
  • Phone Touch: Only Thunderbolts Type C phones are supported.
  • Some models do not support touch function, such as LG/OnePlus/ASUS/Razer phones do not support touch function.
  • The touch function depends on the phone model, if you need to use the touch function, please contact our service center before purchasing. Thanks.
  • If the screen cannot be turned on, additional power is required for the screen. Use a 5V-3A adapter to connect to the Type-C port on the bottom of the monitor with a USB A-to-C cable.
So they say TouchScreen is known not to work with LG/OnePlus/Asus/Razer (Android?) phones. Presumably only video output works with those

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking a touchscreen might work with a Samsung phone in DEX mode when connected to this monitor.

maybe. One of the reviewers on Amazon says:
Quote :
With my Samsung, it connects via 3-way C-type cord and then using the DEX option in the pull down quick menu. This allows me to connect via phone. However, the speakers on the monitor do not work when I connect. only the speakers on my phone. I was unable to connect using my fire tablet. [...] All and all, I do not feel this monitor is worth $300, Maybe more around $120ish.
... but seems they were reviewing the non-touchscreen version of the product

I figure there are couple fo reasons that people may be returning this in droves
  1. The Chinese settings menu is a definite put off.
  2. The manual does not mention touchscreen anywhere in the glorious passport-sized 6 pages, so i imagine many that only connected HDMI cable to it were disappointed touch screen does not work.
Having discovered the touchscreen works over USB though - and connected it to both PC (USB-A) and Mac (USB-C), and seeing it work - i think i can live with the gibberish menus

PS. and price raised from $90 to $110! i suspect we killed it, posting the deal here. Wonder if that's a bot or a human that saw the spike at Amazon

Kinda regret not getting 2 at this price point. If it didn't meet expectations, could always return it.
