GAEMS Vanguard Personal Gaming Environment for PS4, XBOX ONE, PS3, Xbox 360 (consoles not included)

This is my first ever review on Amazon!!! I've been shopping on this website since 2 years and go through other reviews and product info for about 2-3 weeks before buying anything And I did the same with this product the "Gaems Vanguard". Exterior First of the Build quality is amazing! Although it's made of some durable plastic exterior it can definitely take a beating on the road, I've used it for 2 weeks now gaming in my bedroom and at my workplace. The latches are not the best in the world but looks to me like they will hold their ground for a long time. The colour is a nice matte black with the log in the center, I feel it looks awesome and well done. Interior The only drawback I found is having to power the screen with a power supply. If they had used the technology like the other Gaems screen which needs only USB power this would have been amazing. The console will need to be powered as well. And the 2 soft carrying pouches I don't use or load anything in them although you can stuff a controller and cables, however cause of previous reviews from ppl saying it can damage the screen, don't want to take that chance. I carry a backpack with my controllers, wires and games etc. Coming to the screen, it's not Full HD 1080p I'm assuming it's 720p, and I say this because my PS4 didn't work the first time with the screen so I had to connect back to my TV screen and change the settings to 720p and walla!! It worked The screen is still High res and crisp and bright and does do games with awesome in game graphics really proud. I've tried the last of us, mortal kombat x and Call of duty and they look beautiful, except sometimes you can notice the flickering pixels in call of duty. Looking forward to black ops 3! The speakers on the unit are good for what they are in a portable unit, I use headphones so it doesn't really matter, however if your gaming with friends there's an extra headphone output. And yeah again the speakers will do the job in any average size room with about 5-6 ppl making all the noise they want. They don't sound like HiFi Bose or Sonys but they do have some clarity for gaming. for what it is and for the price I think it's an excellent product and let's me game conveniently at any place with a power outlet and at the same time i don't have to worry about using up a TV at home. Plus I can travel with it on my next trip to Thailand if there's something I'd like to see from Gaems in the future is maybe a lightweight Aluminium enclosed unit with a Full HD 1080 screen about the same size and USB powered or an added powerbank/battery which can be charged and used to power the Screen and console for atleast about 4-5 hours. I know it's a tough ask but hey everyone breaks the rules at some point. Overall I'm having an awesome time with my Vanguard! Thank you Gaems!!

*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.

The case is awesome, just what I was looking for to take my Xbox One on the road with me. It arrived well ahead of the estimated delivery date. The strap had a small tear/manufacturing defect, I contacted the company and they had me a new strap within a few days. Great customer service. The case fits the Xbox One just fine, you can still fit items to the sides with no issues. There was a notice stuck to the screen and a sheet of paper stating to carrying extra items outside of the case when using it with the Xbox One, because it is bigger than the other consoles. Basically carry extra items in the case with the console at your own risk. Like others have stated, the screen looks great and the speakers are loud and get the job done nicely. It seems pretty sturdy when latched, and the d-rings clip on to the sides for the strap. They also seem sturdy, unless your really swinging this thing around I don't see them failing. Not a single complaint so far. Also, the power supply for the screen is dual voltage for anyone looking to take this overseas. That's one less thing to plug into a power converter or worry about frying in a 220 wall socket.

Expensive, but worth it. I bought this for those quiet nights at work. After all, my PS3 Super Slim is at home, all alone, being ignored by my wife who is not a gamer, while I am at work...so, this was a natural choice. After oogling at it for quite some time, I pulled the trigger and bought it for myself. First things first, this thing is heavy. When loaded with a PS3, two controllers, the small HDMI cable and the power brick, the case can feel heavy - not enough to break your back, but enough that you won't want to carry it for extended periods of time. I would recommend that you take it and put it on your backseat, flat down, with the two side latches against the back of the front seat and the backrest of the backseat - that way, it's not going anywhere if you hit the brakes all of a sudden. Inside, the screen is 19 inches on the diagonal. I have read reviews where they said that the screen is really 720p, but when I use the autodetect feature on the PS3 to configure it, the PS3 says that it is a 1080p screen. Oh well. The case is pretty well-designed, but was designed for an xBox 360, a PS3 original or the PS3 Slim - NOT the Super Slim. With every console except for the super slim, the disk slides in through the front, but the super slim loads like a PS2 - slide the top to the left, fit the disk on the center piece and slide the door back into place. This is not a big deal, until you realise that the velcro straps fit across the top of the console, preventing you from loading or removing a disk. So, you have to remove or just slacken the straps in order to load or remove disks every time. The supplied HDMI cable is about 6 inches long, but it is rather stiff, and its orientation is off, because you have to twist it to fit between the console and the input on the screen, which is right behind the console, when mounted. As a result, the loop sometimes gets in the way if you don't put it right - recommend getting a different cable, or cut a longer one and use it, like I do. When transporting it, make sure to pack it properly, otherwise the side latches don't close properly. Also, even though it is not written, there is actually a top and a bottom - this is to prevent damage to your game console, which can damage the drive assembly if transported upside down, and to prevent the console from leaning against the screen, possibly damaging it. While the velcro does hold it in place, better safe than sorry. An Xbox One is HUGE and barely fits inside. There is a removable padded base for the console, which sits on the inside of the base of the unit. There are ridges inside, presumably from the molding process, or for reinforcement. The padded base serves to protect the console from these ridges and to help the console sit properly inside. The Xbox One sits EXACTLY between two of these ridges, with about a millimeter of space on either side. Then, if you pack that console's power BRICK inside the case, along with the screen's own power adapter, there is no space inside the case to carry a controller, which kind of defeats the purpose of the entire case in the first place. Picture quality is great. There are settings for "Game", "Movie" and so on, like with any actual TV. There is even a TINY remote control, like what you might get with a car stereo. When the screen is on, there are two blue lighting accents on either side of the monitor. Some people might find them distracting, but I find that it adds to the overall esthetic of the unit. But then again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are built in speakers, which are surprisingly loud. They don't provide immersive gameplay like a surround sound system, or even headphones, but they are good in a pinch. No real bass, but speech is clearly discernible, music is clear and loud and movies are good, without having to turn up the volume too high. What really surprised me were the 2 headphone ports. General thinking would be to put one port, but they were thinking about sharing audio with a friend without disturbing others. The case itself does take a little abuse, but it scratches somewhat easily. One time I had to put in my car's trunk and it bruised its handle against the inside of the latch assembly of the trunk (was doing repairs to the car and the upholstery was missing). Quite frankly, I would recommend this more for the portability, rather than the "protection" that the company is selling in the commercials and reviews. Overall, I like it. It is expensive, but worth it. Will update and put up some pictures when I can.

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.

I bought this on a whim but honestly it's the best piece of gaming equipment I've bought since I bought the PS4 that I now use this for. I took a new job where I travel way more frequently and have to live in hotel rooms. Besides dealing with crappy hotel internet, this thing makes gaming so easy! You just pop it open, plug the screen in, plug the console in, and you're ready to go! It even comes with an HDMI cable so you don't have a long one from home curled up to span a 6 inch gap. If you're worried about sound quality or color quality, don't be. There's dual speakers, two headphone jacks and it even comes with a remote which I would compare to an aftermarket car stereo. The screen's 19", 60hz, and full 1080p. Honestly between traveling and toting this to my girlfriend's place, I use it more than I use my home tv. And let's face it, this is way cheaper than a home tv! If you're on the fence about dropping $300, it's literally worth it just to be able to move the console around without awkwardly wrapping up the console in all of it's cords and cramming controllers and games in a bag. If you just sit at home to game and never move your consoles, then keep scrolling. Overall, this is a 10/10 easy.

How to fix the TV screen when it's completely flushed out and not displaying. This happens VERY often when you turn it on IF your PS4/Xbox is already turned on. If you turn the screen on first, wait for it to display, then flash black, then display again -- and THEN you turn on your PS4 it will NOT have this happen anymore. If you turn your PS4/Xbox on at roughly the same time as when you turn on the screen it will often times force you to turn off/on the screen multiple times. I thought my screen was broken when I bought it and was completely disappointed. Luckily through testing and messing with it I've figured this out. Also, if you have to have your game system on when you're about to turn on the screen, just unplug the HDMI cable and wait for the screen to load before plugging the HDMI cable back in. That's another workaround. As for the product itself -- I'm a big fan. I think the screen is an appropriate size to be engaging enough without making this thing ludicrous to carry around. It's fairly heavy (especially with a PS4 in it) but that's because you wanted the big screen right? The screen is also pretty good -- it will allow you to play in HD which is all that really matters. The sound with headphones plugged in won't play all of the game sounds. When I play sports games all that plays is the crowd noise/gameplay noise. Announcers will not make any noise and some of the other game noises will not play either if I have headphones plugged in. The sound otherwise is a bit cheap but it's not too detracting. I bought this for my deployment and it's allowed me to play in my room and I'm happy with it overall. I feel like it's durable (it's lasted me 6 months so far) and I like that I can use it as a case for my PS4 as well and not have to worry too much about it. It's pricey but you're getting what you pay for. Hope this review helps.

Updated review (December 5th, 2014): I received a replacement for my defective unit on November 22nd, 2014, and have been able to use it for the last couple of weeks, so I'm updating my original review from a 1 star to a 4 star. Overall, I'm much happier with the unit now that I've gotten a working unit and happy Amazon was able to do 2-day shipping with Saturday delivery for the replacement. What I like about the unit: - Display looks really nice. It's a good quality display, no stuck or dead pixels. No ghosting of the image and overall things look really good. - The speakers are quite good as well. I'm definitely not an audiophile, but I've been impressed with the sound it does produce (I can play just fine at 15% volume). - The unit came with the updated insert designed to fit the Xbox One (which is the console I'm using with it) The reason I'm giving this a 4 star rating instead of 5 stars is: - The shoulder strap provided seems like the hooks are a little too flimsy for me to trust the weight of the case with a console in (Xbox One plus this is a good $700 investment, and interconnected plastic fittings seem like they could break fairly easily under the weight). Metal hooks would have been much better (and I'm considering finding some or just using some carabiners instead to hook into the metal D-rings on the case) - When set up, between the power cables for the Gaems unit, the console, the HDMI cable, etc, it gets a little crammed for space on a desk (make sure you bring a power strip as well, so you can plug it all in). This isn't really a fault of the design, it just takes up a bit more space than I expected when open and fully plugged in. - The provided documentation in the package just said that no additional power cords should be packed in the Gaems case if you're using an Xbox One, to avoid the screen breaking. However, there were no recommendations for how to pack things in if you use another console (and I'm honestly afraid to, since nothing holds the additional bags of cords in place, so they could shift around). It would be nice if on either side of the console, there were smaller velcro straps to secure the bags of cords for non-Xbox One consoles. ********* Original review written on November 20th, 2014: Not happy with original product that was delivered. I've already filled out for a replacement with Amazon and will update this review when I receive the replacement, but my initial impression isn't great. I'll start with what I did like: - The case feels solid, and like it will do a good job protecting the contents. The handle also felt sturdy. What I don't like: - I received a broken unit. I've worked in consumer electronics before, and my display looked similar to what I've seen before when the display cable is broken or not properly inserted (pictures below). Instead of a the blue power on screen, I was treated to a bright green power on screen, that then started washing into other messed up graphics, before the system would turn itself off after a couple of minutes. I got the same results regardless of whether something was plugged in to HDMI or not. Additionally, the speakers didn't appear to be working either, as when I plugged my Xbox in and turned it on, I never once heard any audio from it's boot up. - The straps are extremely hard to get back through the right side of the case. I pulled the straps out to help with putting the foam in and my Xbox (prior to turning it on and finding out the display was bad), and tried for 10 minutes to get the straps to go through the holes on the right side again to secure the console before finally giving up. Make sure you don't fully pull the straps out, and just slide the console in underneath loosened straps, or you'll be at it for hours. - My last irk is not to do with the product, but Amazon. I paid for shipping on this to get it in time before Thanksgiving so I could travel with it. When I filled out the replacement, the shipping they were giving me would take longer than the original shipping method I paid for, and was going to arrive after Thanksgiving. If a customer pays for expedited shipping on the original product, it should be automatic on the replacement when they receive a defective one, don't ship it slower than they paid for it. First picture is when the display turned on, 2nd picture is what it washed out into after 5-10 seconds.

Tiene un sonido sorpréndete que si te deja sordo si le subes al máximo, al ser buen pequeñas pero de buena calidad, la pantalla led HD de 19pulg suficiente para mí miopía jejeje, excelente pantalla a corta y larga distancia, fidelidad en imagen, tiene luz al lado de la pantalla y luz en los botones, control remoto pequeño y fácil de manejar, correa y su eliminador de corriente es para 120 y 240v. Incluye su corto cable HDMI. En fin un buen Gadget y poder llevar tu consola contigo a donde vayas, ten cuidado al guardar tu xbox360, ps3 y ps4, porque para la Xbox one debes meter los accesorios en otro maleta que tengas porque puedes romper la pantalla. Según Gaems vende o da ese kit para la consola Xbox one.

I purchased this just shortly after Christmas as a gift for myself. I'm in the older crowd but been playing video games all my life. My wife wasn't happy that I would disappear into another room in the house to play my games and leave her alone watching TV. So the initial reason for purchase was that I could be in the same room as her when I wanted to game on one of the consoles. I was initially just looking for a monitor that I could attach to my systems but came across this item and after reading the reviews decided to purchase it. So far so good, I have not used the sound on the monitor that often just one time and as the other reviews stated it is slightly tinny but nothing that you wouldn't expect. It was a little bit bigger than I thought it was going to be, but I am alright with that the portability of it is great, now I will have no issues with taking my gaming with me when we travel. I've had it now 3 days and I am extremely satisfied with this product, I would recommend it for anyone who is looking for a way to travel with your gaming, or even someone who lives in a small space and doesn't want to argue with the wife over playing your games while she wants to watch TV.

Wahou avec Xbox one jai pris ce truc pour laisser la TV à madame en jouant et en restant quand même avec elle ! J'étais loin de m'attendre à un truc pareil cest juste trop bien il faut faire attention avec Xbox il y a un "coussin" à plat et sous la console fournit avec ! La.qualité de limage et du son est bonne vous en aurez pour votre argent vraiment extra comme objet.

اسطورية وفخمه لو خفضوا السعر شوي بتطلع اسطوريه وتاخذها معك اي مكان ملاحظه : تجي مع الشنطه كيستين مو كيسه كيسه ، كيسه كويسه تحط الاسلاك والقيور فيها .

Ok
