Doesn't seem to work on laptops?

To be honest it was for my wife's job. We tried to get it working on several different laptops but it just wouldn't let me use a second monitor. I think if it's a Windows issue, that's probably the problem. My review is skewed because I can't honestly use the product.

  • Poor quality built-in speakers.

A great monitor for consultants or business people who work long hours and are not always in the office. It's a good size and fits in a laptop bag with its own pocket for security. It is powered by a USB-C connection to your computer and does not require another power cord. A mouse moving from your laptop to an Acer monitor moves smoothly with no lag. Out of all the great monitors, the only thing that would be nice would be if it was a touchscreen.

Does not work with most mobile phones

When I bought it it was said it would work with cell phones. But now that I have it, it's just some phones (with Type-C port). So I either have to buy a phone or return this product.

Great screen, light weight, feels solid

So far so good, I've been using it for 3 months. Excellent screen, plug and play, light weight, strong stand, durable. I use it to extend my screen when traveling and mirror my screen to show to clients. I have an old briefcase that goes well with a laptop. He's well protected. I returned another cheaper branded screen when it died 3 days later. When I travel light: I throw this Acer and my laptop in my suitcase. If I travel light. I throw it in the Harley saddlebag.

USB-C and HDMI incompatibility…

I could not find a cable that matched my request. The monitors were intended for the video surveillance system. The video signal output is HDMI, the monitor input is USB C. I have a cable with the appropriate connectors, but the signal only goes one way, but I needed it reversed. To return.

The first one they sent me broke because it works like a regular monitor for work, don't try to play on it, the refresh rate was bad. I'm trying it as a big monitor for my Nintendo Switch and it doesn't see it.

Does not work with HDMI USB-C cable.

- Old laptops with HDMI output will not work. There is no HDMI -> USB-C cable. Many cables are connected to HDMI via USB-C and do not work. - landscape monitor only - instruction manual is so perfunctory

As EVERYONE has already said. NOT CONNECTED.

I have an ACER Nitro 5 and you think all the laptops in the world should at least connect to their own laptops. vain. I've tried everything. I'm giving up, won't try any other USB-C monitor again and will stick with HDMI from now on.

Buyer Warning! Not as pictured or described.

This Acer wearable display won't connect or work as described. Tried to connect to Acer Predator Helios laptop failed. I tried to connect to an Android phone, it didn't work. Tried to connect to TV, phone and laptop, keep getting either a message about no input or the device cannot be found by the main unit. Don't waste your money, this item is not plug and play. Also, the materials are flimsy and the cables are junk.

Upgrade from HP EliteDisplay

I like using the USB-C connector, although the cable that comes with it is very short, I have to turn the monitor upside down because of the side where the connector is, but overall it has good brightness and no problems with viewing angles . . This is an improvement in clarity and connectivity over my HP portable monitor.

Does not work with Dell laptop.

I was very happy to get a USB monitor to take with me on frequent business trips. I work in IT and I really need at least 2 screens to work. The instructions are a joke. They basically tell you to connect the cables and turn on. There is no troubleshooting section. I searched YouTube for setup and troubleshooting videos for this monitor. I even checked Acer's website for a graphics driver that I might need to install. There were no videos on YouTube to help, no drivers to install. Unfortunately

Love it! good for me

My wife and I bought a pair of these about a month after we started working from home and now we're freed from our desktops and able to work anywhere in the house we want. The quality is very good, the stand works great, the picture is sharp and clear.

There are many compatibility issues.

Reviews online said it was a really good deal and a good lightweight device. I can confirm that. I was looking for an upgraded 15.6" portable monitor with USB-C connectivity for on the go. I was pleasantly surprised when I unboxed it - it was indeed light, thin and included a protective case, a USB-C to USB-C cable, as well as a USB-A charger and a USB-A to microUSB connector for additional power supply monitor. HOWEVER. couldn't get it to work with any of my devices (brand new Dell XPS 15…

Requires Thunderbolt, not just USB-C.

Just because your laptop or other device has a USB-C port doesn't mean it supports Thunderbolt, which this monitor requires. If you have it, then it's probably the best value for money.

The ease of setup is the best in my rating

I bought it to have a second monitor for my laptop. I'm used to having two screens at work so I have the same setup. It fits easily in my laptop bag and is quick to set up. I'm not very tech savvy, but it's easy. I would buy this again

Perfect for my needs

I really wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this, but I'm very happy with my purchase. First off, this monitor is lightweight and very easy to carry (it comes with a nice little pouch to protect it) and fits perfectly in a laptop bag. Second, I was happy with the fact that all I had to do was plug it in and use it. I set up my laptop to extend my desktop and my work life just got a lot easier. Everything is clear on the screen and there were no problems with it. I haven't used it for…

Read reviews - check compatibility

The screen was just what I needed for working while traveling - luckily I read the reviews and confirmed it would work with my laptop. makes it much easier to work on the go! Fits snugly in my laptop bag so you don't have to carry an extra bag around. great screen quality!

USB-C only: my review

Yes, if you have USB A 2.0 or 3.0 or any other variant of HDMI it will not work. I've tried all kinds of adapters, from Displayport to USB-C and from HDMI to USB-C, you name it. None of them work, the only thing that pops up when using USB-A is an external USB drive calling the device a "billboard", this is very inconvenient for anything other than USB-C. I'm keeping the product as I have a lot of laptops and phones that use USB-C, but I was hoping to use it for desktops as well, so don't buy…

Great monitor - short cable - found a 6ft cable - works fine

I was a bit worried after reading other reviews if this would work with my 2016 MacBook Pro. It works, but strangely only works with the two USB-C ports on the right. Maybe that's just a problem for me. The cable that came with it was only 3 feet long and not flexible so it was right where I wanted to place my monitor. I bought a cable, but it turned out that it does not support video, only power. Then I found a 6 inch cable that works in addition to the 90 degree USB-C connector. The cable…

A very satisfying monitor complement to my laptop.

Not as bright as my laptop screen. White people aren't that white. But the screen is very sharp, with no dead or stuck pixels, and it folds down with a screen protector stand so it fits easily in a laptop bag. and sure. Which is good, because I've found that the screen protector that came with it won't install.
