Type of review

I bought this monitor in August 2020 for a third screen on my development system. I'm limited by desktop space, so a 4K screen in a small package was very appealing. I still use this screen every day, but I wouldn't recommend it until the screen issues are resolved. As mentioned in other reviews, the screen flickering issue is systemic. This device. I would return or exchange this screen if I had the time. Summary: Given the price, find another option. The screen is naughty at times as…

The mobility you need during this time

I absolutely loved this portable monitor. I'm not the biggest gamer but I have this monitor to use when everyone is working from home due to what's going on in this world. I find this extremely useful when I want to sit on the couch and work (and have a second monitor) or whatever. This gives me the opportunity to work from anywhere in the house. With all modern laptops that have USB-C, this is very convenient. I even hooked it up to my iPad to watch videos and just got a bigger iPad display…

Pretty good screen for the price!

It worked great as a portable secondary display for my 2015 Macbook Pro. I just plugged in the USB-C cable and it recognizes the screen with no issues. The colors rendered are accurate enough for my MBP screen, so I have complete confidence in video editing on this display. It should be noted that the default display brightness level is 10 and always resets to 10 after the monitor is turned off. So I have to change the brightness to my liking every time, which is a bit cumbersome. Touchscreen…

Ideal for working or playing on PC or Mac

I bought this portable monitor to use at home to work in different rooms throughout the day, but I also wanted to use it in my music studio with my Mac. It works seamlessly on an HP laptop and uses an HDMI input with USB-c for power at a brightness of 90. Be sure to use a Thunderbolt cable on a Mac and it does everything. I was able to run the monitor and the Thunderbolt audio interface at the same time. Even worked on battery power. I'm not a big photo/video/game lover so I can't comment on…

Great monitor for the price

I needed a monitor that I could take with me to see clients and also use as a second monitor. That helped. You'll never need 4K if you're using it as a second monitor, but the resolution is excellent. I have three problems with the monitor. The case (similar to an iPad case, foldable, magnetic) doesn't offer many angle options. I would have liked better brightness. It also seems that every time my laptop wakes up (connected via USB-c), the brightness resets to default. Easy setup to tweak, just
