*Update*
After a week using this screen/case every day I'm much more pleased with the image quality and sound. The speakers aren't going to impress anyone but they're more than adequate for games and the screen's contrast ratio isn't as lackluster as I originally thought. This is, after all, a 720p screen with tiny speakers, and for what it is it works really well. The case alone isn't really heavy, and with an Xbox One it's perfectly reasonable to travel with. I'm really happy with it. The fact remains that the hinge isn't super sturdy, and doesn't self support, so if anything fails I feel like the hinge will be the first thing to go. But all in all I highly recommend it if you want to game during while traveling.
*Original review*
This is something you either need or you don't, it's not gonna work as a permanent gaming station for your home. If you have $350 to spend you're much better off getting an HD tv with better resolution, refresh rate, and contrast ratio. But, if you travel a lot and want to bring your console with you, this is basically your best option. My screen works fine, but the contrast and brightness leave something to be desired. Also, it's a matte finish, thankfully, so no blinding glare from all nearby light sources. It's not bad by any means, but it's about on par with computer monitors from 5-6 years ago. Some people have experienced dead pixels and other aberrations but I bought mine used from Amazon warehouse and it worked fine right out of the box! And even came with the Xbox one pad rather than the 360 pad.
The speakers can get loud, but you'll wanna keep them under 50, max. Above that and they distort so much as to be pointless. Of course, the two headphone jacks in the monitor, or the one in your controller, are probably a better option for quality sound. The speakers are passable, nothing more.
I appreciate that Gaems offers a portable gaming solution and I hope that future iterations will be more robust and considered. I have faith that they can do better as each version of their gaming case has improved upon the last.
All in all this is the best option for gaming on the road, protecting your console and screen while you travel, and while I don't see it surviving baggage handlers at the airport, if you don't toss it around like a duffle bag, it should last you for a while. Treat it like you treat a 19in monitor in a plastic case and you'll be fine.

For a few people this is a priceless purchase
The picture I posted is just to give an idea of how big the screen is for those of you without a reference or a measuring tape. Now to start, i wouldn't consider this in itself an all in one case , as i don't keep everything it says you can carry in it all at once, the packing time would be way too tedious, plus you need somewhere to put games, granted you CAN carry just one game(in the case of course) on top of the system between that and the screen . it doesn't make me nervous to do so. But getting back to carrying accessories and cords I would pair this with a backpack no problem. Also, this mother weighs a wholloping 30 lbs with everything included. Unless you think your shoulders are in good enough shape I might not consider actually carrying it for lang walks. The shoulder strap I cannot vouch for as it makes me nervous to even look at. Will not use I don't think. I will suffer the combined weight to ensure the safety of 500+ dollars worth of equipment and electronics before I trust a (well constructed, gaems, im sure) plastic hook do that for me. But in summation, besides everything that ive listed thus far, its a banger product :) beautiful graphics and sound. Im old school and have been playing on a tube (that's a glass screen/non led HD tv those of you that don't know) for as long as I can remember. This 19" has better definition than even the biggest glass screen TV I've ever owned. The plug for the controller is a little bit of a tight fit under the lip of the case but I do not think is at risk to damage the cable. ItsThe headphone jack makes this a considerable use for playing privately or at 3 oclick in the morning if your old TV didn't take headphones or blutooth. not the MOST convenient thing in the world but if your like me and move often and don't feel like lugging or buying a new TV for wherever life may take you, I just considered this. You cannot get a product like this at the price it is right now. One of a kind and will most likely be that way for a while great buy. Take care of it if you do buy. I have been taking considerably good care of mine for the few months I've owned it and no problems yet. Ask me if you have any questions , I'd be glad to give you an answer asap.

Vanguard is awesome
Style: BlackVerified Purchase
So i had toyed with the idea of buying one of these for a while and being away a lot for work and having to leave my Xbox at home meant i spent alot of time in hotel rooms bored, so i took the plunge and i havent been disappointed its very well made the way its been designed to fit multiple different consoles and still having room for leads etc is great, the screen is only 720 but if im honest it is still a great picture on the 19in screen. Alot of websites states a con is the weight but i dont think it weighs to much with console installed. Cant believe i went this long without itJaYVanguard is awesome
