★HDMI cannot realize touch function signal transmission, because HDMI only provides video signal transmission, please connect the laptop through a USB-C cable.
Q9. Why can't I adjust the brightness?
When FlipGo is not connected to an external power, due to insufficient power from the laptop power supply port (especially when the battery is low), FlipGo will limit the screen brightness to 10% and disable other functions in order to ensure basic display requirements. For a better experience, we recommend you use an external power supply of 65W or higher to power the FlipGo.
And JSAUX takes customer feedback very seriously. If you would like to be able to adjust the brightness without being connected to external power, please let us know and we will consider a firmware adjustment to suit your needs.
Q10. How to use menu button?
The menu button uses a pulsator button, which needs to be pressed in place to call out the menu.
1-Press the menu dial to open the OSD menu, then press the power/back button briefly to return.
2-Move the dial up and down to adjust the selection box position/adjustment value.

Q13. Does FlipGo support Steam Deck, Switch, iPad, and Samsung Dex?
Our portable screens can support devices equipped with DP Alt Mode (Type-C video output function). However, we do not recommend using it with handheld consoles (such as Steam Deck, Switch), smartphones, tablets, etc. Because these devices may have display limitations (such as the inability to customize the output resolution, the inability to set rotation, and the inability to support MST), compatibility issues may occur during connection (such as abnormal display, distorted images, or even the inability to output the display at all).
