Exactly what I need!

So happy with my purchase! I've been working from home a lot lately and this monitor has been my lifesaver. So easy to install and great quality. Highly recommended.

Did NOT work with my MacBook Air

Big fat guy. Returned and bought again. None of them worked. I traveled during the missed return window. I can't remove metal magnets from my computer. Great concept, too bad it didn't work.

A must have item for work on the go or at home

Love it! I've had the monitor for 3 months now and have recommended it to everyone I know! This is required for working from home. I didn't want a second bulky monitor, but I can't handle just one. I had some issues with it and the customer support was very responsive and helped me fix the issue quickly and I'm back in business! Literally!

I don't know my rating

I like having an extra monitor. The screen quality is excellent. BUT for being so expensive it seems very cheap. And I'm worried it won't last as long as I need it to, but we'll see.

Savior! good for me

This was one of my Beat purchases. I work remotely and use two monitors in addition to my laptop monitor so I get stuck in my office late at night if I have to work late. Now that I have this portable monitor, I can easily move it to my living room or bedroom when I have to work late. It is also very convenient for travel! My only complaint is how heavy it is, but that's why you need to make sure it's on a flat surface. I think they have newer models now but I highly recommend it!

Great purchase, makes life easier.

Life has become much easier, now I can go on business trips with all my gear. I bought 2, one for each side of my laptop with rounded rubber top pads to prevent the second monitor from overlapping and rubber feet for extra leveling. Great purchase and setup was very easy. If I knew how to upload photos, I would.

Easy to use and a great addition to your portable system.

Was invaluable for my home office work. I'm coordinated and my job requires me to keep track of a virtual queue, email and calendar software at the same time. A dual screen on my laptop saved my life. Easy to set up. Worth the investment.

Early purchase but looks good.

New purchase. I use a stand with a Surface Pro. Very easy to install. I just plugged it in. The picture is good considering the color bar in the middle which I can't get rid of. Would rate it higher if I could fix it.

I don't stand by my opinion

The magnets on the screen aren't strong enough to hold it. Thanks for attention! I wish I had tried it sooner so I could return it.

Bad connection with laptop. Disconnects and reconnects every 5 minutes. Which causes the laptop to reset. More trouble than help. Use a different brand.

Handy extra screen I think

I ordered this through Kickstarter when it was first released. As someone who has been a student for several years, this came in very handy! I no longer need to create small windows on my 13 inch laptop screen! Setup was a bit tricky for me - we had to change some of my settings which was causing the battery to drain quickly, which was remedied by putting my laptop to sleep instead of just closing the top. I wish it had an option other than magnets to keep the second screen on. Yes I have a…

Great idea, bad execution.

I think I should start by saying that I had to return the first one I got because it didn't have software drivers and drivers to download. This in itself was a pain as the company is overseas based. Forget the nice ivy marketing. I really wanted this to work and I'm getting it to work, but it's not what I was hoping for. It's made from very thin materials, but proved too heavy to attach to a laptop. It's just too heavy for loops. It's ok, it comes with a stand! This stand is the thinnest POS…

bad design - my new review

The slip gets stuck in the jacket after less than 2 weeks of use. The most frustrating thing is that I bought this for the performance. Now I'm back to screen 1. Why is this even a problem?

I like my second screen in my review.

Great that you can remove it from the laptop at any time with the help of magnets. It was really easy to get started and use. I like having two screens when needed and then just one when it suits me. It's heavy and you have to put it on the surface to put it on the bottom when the screen is off.

I don't like that it has to be attached to the back of the laptop. That's my review. It would be better if it was a clip instead of a sticker

Makes work on the go so much better

I set up the eight-drive laptop so that I can use the screen on both the left and right sides. Since the display is on a laptop, the drives are not visible. The screen is thin and not too heavy, but that's relative. I haven't traveled much lately because of Ron, but even here at home the screen works great. It's worth it.
