JSAUX FlipGo Delivers Two Touch Screens, but Carries 4.18 Pounds

By Nathan Brooks

At $479, the JSAUX FlipGo PM0204 combines two 16-inch 2560 × 1600 touch-sensitive IPS displays with a built-in three-port USB hub, but its 4.18-pound weight makes the “portable” label debatable. The price sits in line with other portable dual-monitor products.

What does the $479 FlipGo include?

The PM0204 uses glossy 16:10 IPS panels, each with a 60 Hz refresh rate, a listed brightness of 500 nits and a typical contrast ratio of 1,200:1. JSAUX says both panels support native 10-point touch in Windows 11; macOS does not support touch, making the cheaper non-touch model the sensible option for Mac buyers.

That 2560 × 1600 resolution exceeds the 1920 × 1080 common on most competing dual-screen portable monitors. Tom’s Hardware senior editor Brandon Hill framed the result: “The FlipGo is an impeccable dual-screen portable monitor.”

The PM0204 is JSAUX’s second portable dual-screen entry, following the more ambitious FlipGo Horizon Pro. Its thick aluminum chassis resists flexing and feels premium, while the hinges have no play and hold a chosen display angle without sagging.

The dual-screen frame measures 14.41 × 9.45 inches and stands 0.7 inches thick. More than half a pound heavier than a 14-inch Apple MacBook Pro, the FlipGo appears destined for a desk or a short move across an office. Travel, meanwhile, becomes a bridge too far.

JSAUX’s stand supports a landscape arrangement, described in the review as one monitor stacked over the other, and a portrait arrangement with both panels upright in a book-style configuration. The review unit instead included only a red faux-leather protective cover.

Without the stand, Hill placed the lower panel flat on the desk and the upper panel vertically, while still using portrait mode in other arrangements. He also confirmed that shipping units from Amazon now include the stand, resolving that complaint for current buyers.

How do the ports and controls work?

The FlipGo places two USB-C ports and two mini-HDMI ports on the left side of its lower panel. On the right, the internal hub supplies two USB-A ports and one USB-C port, while a three-way jog wheel handles on-screen controls beside the power button.

The specifications list no speakers and provide a one-year warranty. JSAUX supplies two USB-C cables, one mini-HDMI-to-HDMI cable and a USB-C wall adapter in the box.

A laptop with USB-C DisplayPort can drive the FlipGo through one cable for power, video and data. The second USB-C connection can supply dedicated power, while the FlipGo provides up to 60 watts of power passthrough to the host laptop.

The on-screen display remains deliberately basic because both panels share the same picture settings. Left and right wheel movements adjust brightness, up and down navigate the menus, and pressing the wheel selects an option. One press of the power button moves back a level, while a long press turns off the monitor.

Available adjustments include brightness, contrast, sharpness, color temperature, saturation and hue. Separate menus allow switching between HDMI and USB-C inputs, though neither panel offers independent picture control.

What do the display tests show?

macOS imposes two limitations: the FlipGo supports only mirrored output, and it requires both USB-C and mini-HDMI-to-HDMI connections to drive the screens. Windows 11 supports mirrored and extended modes. Hill therefore conducted his testing with an HP OmniBook X running Windows 11.

He used the FlipGo mainly in portrait mode, placing two webpages beside the OmniBook X’s internal display. The larger panels also worked well with Microsoft Word and Excel, where the additional vertical resolution reduced repeated scrolling.

Touch input worked on both panels without additional software, and Hill reported flawless operation. The glossy finish remained less troublesome than it might elsewhere because the FlipGo’s panels produced color and brightness close to the OmniBook X display.

JSAUX listed brightness at 500 nits, but the FlipGo delivered 319 nits in testing. That result exceeded the 247.4 nits measured for the FlipGo Horizon Pro, though it remained well short of JSAUX’s figure. The regular FlipGo’s panels also appeared substantially more colorful and vibrant than those in the Horizon Pro.

The color-gamut results were stronger: 97.2 percent of DCI-P3 and 137.2 percent of sRGB. The closest cited rival, the Aura Triple Aero 15.6 Pro Max, managed 85.4 percent and 120.6 percent in the same measurements.

Hill noted that portable monitors often use panels inferior to those in the accompanying laptop, creating an unpleasant shift in color balance. The FlipGo avoided that problem across the two external screens and the OmniBook X’s glossy panel.

What remains unresolved?

Hill found the FlipGo impressive for productivity, citing its aluminum construction, stiff hinges, broad input selection and built-in hub. He concluded: “The FlipGo also tops the charts when it comes to color performance and brightness, more than justifying its $479 street price.”

The stand shortage now appears resolved for Amazon shipments. The 4.18-pound weight remains, along with a lack of touch support and extended output on macOS. At $479, JSAUX must rely on productivity gains, Windows touch and measured color performance to outweigh that carrying penalty, because the FlipGo’s clearest advantage is desk utility rather than mobility.
