I think this is an older model. Title description now says 7ms, it used to say 5ms in an recent post.

No VESA mounts (correct me if I am wrong).

Does this new model also have mini-HDMI? The old one pictured was USB-C alt mode only, while the newer model I believe indeed has mini HDMI.

Mine just showed up a day or two ago from the last post. Mine has mini-HDMI and also came with the cord. Sadly no stand on the back to prop it up. It has a cover that folds underneath it (like a tablet does), where the rubber feet on the bottom of the screen keep it in place.

Well, that's a much better one than that is pictured in the eBay page. Lucky you!

I also ordered last week, but the one in Amazon listing is not what I received. What I received has 2 usb c ports and one mini hdmi. Has a cover and vesa mounts. Doesn't have speakers like the one on Amazon does. So it's some other version that's different from eBay and Amazon listings.

FWIW, I ordered this and received a UM.ZP1AA.C02. It has micro HDMi, two USB-C, speakers and a VESA mount.

I got the same one. I plan on using it this week and 3d printed a small stand for it. If you have access to a printer, this one is small and works well. https://makerworld.com/en/models/...Id-2229264

I ended up buying one of these, and they're indeed the newer generation from Acer, not the one shown in the pictures. It has a mini-HDMI and comes with the cable, along with a USB-C cable that's capable of doing USB-C DP Alt mode to power and provide picture from the laptop on a single cable. Mine also came with another USC-C to USB-A cable to power the monitor in situations where HDMI must be used. I tested this and it worked well once again.

I don't think the version I received has speakers, but I'll check on that again. Mine is different from the one some others have received, as it has VESA mounts built into the back. It seems Acer is selling a variety of portable monitors with this listing. It's possible the first batch indeed included the older USB-C only models, and they're now sending out later models.

Overall, a great value for ~$35 after tax. I'll be using this as my new backpack portable monitor for work, and put the old one into secondary service.

These portable displays are absolutely horrible. Colors are washed out and very low nits. The $30 price is right, buts it's a bad display. Pretty much a waste of money.
