Great addition WFH!

This portable monitor was SO easy to set up and use and gives me extra screen real estate to keep track of my work without having to switch windows. Work, and I connected HDMI from my work laptop to HDMI 2 on my regular PC monitor so I could switch back and forth. Adding a UPERFECT monitor was as simple as attaching the VESA plate that came with the laptop and monitor mount to the back of the UPERFECT monitor (using some protective foam that came with the UPERFECT to fit between the monitor to fit) and the VESA plate - The screws that come with the VESA mount are quite long! Attach the VESA plate to the monitor arm as usual. Connect the supplied USB-C cable from the UPERFECT monitor to the port on the laptop labeled Thunderbolt (this is also where the docking station is located). station, to the left of the USB charging port. The laptop recognized the monitor immediately and now I can place MS Teams with chat and daily calendar on top of the UPERFECT monitor, Outlook email on the laptop screen and "real productivity" to mine regular monitor (HDMI 2 connects to laptop, HDMI 1 connects to my personal gaming machine) NOTE: since such a small monitor AND 4k, Windows defaults to 300% scaling in the display settings. There's no reason to do this. If you want LARGE icons and text, get the 1080p version. In the end I settled on 200% scaling in the display settings after trying 100% (damn everything is so tiny! but COOL), 200/225/250/300 percent for about 20 minutes each. 200% gives you a lot of screen real estate (you can see your entire day on Teams calendar), but it's not so small that you can see your entire day but not read any of it. =) I can deduct 2/100 stars because you cannot operate a UPERFECT monitor with 100% brightness if you only supply it via USB-C. It turns off if you set the brightness above 98 - so I set the brightness to 97 and subtract 2/100 of the stars. :-) 4.98 out of 5 stars!
