Very important! the best in my rating

Easy to set up on a Windows machine, ideal for general word processing. Colors and brightness are also very good, and the price is surprisingly good for the quality.

Great mobile monitor

This is a great portable monitor. I use it as a desktop monitor and as a portable monitor. it comes with a cover/stand. It has a great clear picture and I plugged it into the remote HDMI port and it configured automatically. I didn't need to download the driver. I would recommend it.

I like it, but... - my new review

I like the product. I just wish there were a few tweaks I could make to make it better. This will seriously drain your computer's battery when used as a dual monitor. I wish it was better. I hate looking for a plug when trying to use it as a monitor. Another thing is that this is a good monitor. Clear and fast movement. I definitely recommend it.

good monitor Magnetic stand/lid is better than lid.

This 17-inch monitor performed well during the initial setup. Required to use the included external USB-C power adapter when used with ThinkPad. Since I've only used it for PowerPoint presentations, etc., I can't comment on its suitability for photo editing, etc. Arrived on time.

Best value after tons of research!

I like the frameless look and the unbranded screen. Includes everything you need for fast connection and playback. That's my review!

You can't beat the price and how amazing it looks!

It's so easy to travel with because it's so light. It does a great job! I have recommended it to my colleagues. And the price is just as cheap.

Excellent customer service

I needed a monitor to travel with my 17 inch laptop. So far, so good. The only downside is that the lid turned into a stand feels flimsy. She was afraid that if she was hit lightly, she would collapse. The package includes a free update., 1 of 3 offers. I chose the stand and since they were backordered the company let me buy one and paid for it along with the 20.00 credit. The new stand is great.

Kksmart 17.3 inch portable monitor

I've been using this monitor since day 3 and so far so good. The screen is bright and sharp. Plug and play, the laptop automatically found the drivers for the monitor. Uses a USB-C cable for power and video. Supplied with additional cables for various connections and a power supply unit. So far this is a great monitor.

Pretty decent monitor

I bought it as a second monitor for my laptop. I wasn't looking for anything out of the ordinary, just something I could open in another app while I was doing something else. I only use a USB-C to USB-C cable and so far it's been perfect for my needs. I bought a separate monitor stand for it, which I use most of the time because using a protective case to support it takes up desk space. I was thinking of a regular monitor and the more I looked at these portable monitors the more I liked them…

Excellent quality! to my rating.

I am very happy with this monitor! I have compared many 17.3 inch portable monitors and the kksmart monitor had the best reviews and specs at a great price. It was very easy to set up and I'm a bit tech savvy. Also, you have a chance to get 3 different free items and I chose a monitor stand. It came in 2 days. Your customer service is amazing. Very quick response when I emailed them about the extra free 2 year warranty and stand. Great product and great company!

Great quality, ease of use and respect for this monitor.

I was very happy with the features of this monitor and the overall quality! After several weeks of use, I've had no problem connecting external devices to this screen and editing the brightness along with the color variables has been a pleasure. I also really appreciate the build theme and the freesync build that comes with it. No other monitor at this low price offers all these qualities.

Great for the mobile worker

The color is a bit darker, but otherwise everything is fine. Perfect size for my laptop and will use it when traveling. Colleagues have asked me about it. Would recommend if you're on the same budget as me.

So it's worth it for frequent travelers!

For $150, this is a must-have accessory... Especially if you travel a lot. This monitor is lightweight, crystal clear and ultra-thin. Being able to have two monitors anywhere has increased my productivity when traveling. The ability to use a single connector is also very good.

I liked it so much that I immediately bought a SECOND one!

I bought one of these portable screens during Prime Days and wish I had bought two at the promotional price. It is very easy to set up and makes working while traveling much easier. Bought a second one last week. The monitors are very light. This product is highly recommended!

Don't hesitate, buy!

I love this monitor! It was very easy to set up and the picture quality was amazing. The rest of the reviews did not disappoint. It was quite expensive compared to big brand names that had large monitors that started at 21 inches and cost around $179, but I figured I'd like something easily portable so it was worth it! I connect it to my Dell laptop and the screen expansion makes it so handy for multitasking. Haven't tried it with my Macbook yet, hope it works just as well!

Simple build in my opinion

Why didn't I buy this sooner?! I work remotely and sometimes I go somewhere to work and end up bringing all my gear (extra monitor) and taking up a lot of space. It's thin and light and works great so far. I just installed this on my personal laptop to test before setting it up on my work laptop so I know how to set it up. Now my son, a gamer, is planning to buy one too. Great price and even a $30 discount coupon which made it even better.

Monitor above all monitors.

I've been using the screen for a few weeks now and it works great. I travel a lot so it's easier than lugging around a dock and extra screens. It's lightweight and fits on my laptop, and it's as easy to set up as just plugging it in. I would recommend longer cords if you are not plugged into an outlet. Great buy, great price.
