Fantastic. in my view

I bought a couple of Xebec monitors and have been using them for a couple of weeks. The display's brightness and size weren't very good, and tying it to a monitor was impractical. I tried this monitor, just one, and the jump in size and display quality was noticeably better. It could be a bit brighter, but still better than the Xebec. The magnetic mount is durable and can withstand weeks of continuous use. Folding it to the side is much easier, and detaching it is also very easy. Highly…

Love it. Exactly what I need

Easy connection. There is a QR code with video instructions. I was looking for an extra screen when traveling or staying at home. I'm happy with the quality of the screen output and the overall purchase.

Watch at an angle

Attaching this to your laptop and sliding your laptop (above) backwards at an angle will put the monitor at an odd angle. So when you look at the monitor, it's not straight. It's such a simple solution but completely ignored. If you slide the top of your laptop back and this monitor can be straight I would give it 5 stars.

Pretty good portable monitor

The monitor looks great on a flat, hard surface. He leans forward as he's on my lap, and I find myself pushing him back down to the same height with my left hand (I'm holding the monitor on the right). It has definitely enabled me to be more productive when I just want to sit in my living room in front of the TV and work as well. Like others, the main USB-C cable didn't last a few months, which was disappointing but not the end of the world.

A must for every street fighter!

It has completely transformed the way I work from home, and now that travel is gaining momentum it continues to save lives. And it's becoming a trend in my company, everyone asks "what is this!?" and goes and buys for themselves. (And now that we've converted a few executives, we're hoping to make them a permanent part of IT close :))

A complete game changer!

I bought a Sidetrak 14 inch swivel because I work full time from home and also travel and need more monitor space. It improves my productivity and was so easy to set up!

Portable - easy to travel

This monitor was easy to set up, no additional adapter required for a Microsoft computer! The screen is not bright, it would be better to turn up the brightness! But it does what I need as I work with multiple databases at the same time! If you need a cable, fold and twist it behind your laptop to protect your screen while traveling! Costs money!

Generally very helpful! Takes up many ports

It says if you have a new iMac it only needs to be plugged in/charged with one cable but it requires two which uses more ports than I would like. Otherwise very practical for on the go!

This is overpriced for what you get.

The price is too high and the wires are a headache. A solo USB-C connection doesn't work on its own, so you'll need to use an HDMI cable.

LOVE THIS MONITOR in my opinion

I like the comfort of this monitor. This makes my screen heavier so I have to be a bit careful, but now I can work from anywhere and have two screens! LOVE IT!

Great additional monitor for on the go

Excellent monitor, light weight, excellent quality. If you travel and miss the screen space you have in the office, this is a game changer. Easy to carry in a laptop bag.

Doesn't work well for me

I bought this product very excited because I had a lot to learn at a crucial moment. Well, it came very quickly (ordered in the morning and delivered in the evening). Then I plugged it in, nothing. HDMI didn't work. General. The C-Type/USB cable did for a second. The screen would turn on, the (inverted) SideTrak logo would light up, then no signal, then sleep mode and nothing. I've tried everything. I downloaded the DisplayLink Manager (as recommended on the SideTrak website), updated Windows…

It's ok - nothing special

For the price, this monitor is mediocre at best. You're paying for the convenience and ability to connect it to your laptop, not the quality or resolution. The screen is very dim, the colors are not vivid and it is very noticeable and distracting when working on a high-resolution laptop. I would not recommend using this monitor for design projects as the colors are off and the screen size does not offer the best screen resolution.

I love it. This is one of my favorite buys of the year. It fits my computer perfectly and works great. Seamless installation

Light, well attached. Text is a bit blurry compared to Retina

The monitor is very light. This means the mount works well on my MacBook Pro even when I'm using the laptop tray, so the stand can't be used as extra support. Although the resolution could be better, especially for the price. Text definitely looks blurry, especially next to my Retina display. Overall a good side monitor.

Great screen, crappy cable, no response from online support

To be honest I love this product and use it every day. I love how easy it is to set up and use, and I travel with it everywhere. But I can't give it 5 stars for two reasons. 1. The USB-C cable broke in just a few seconds after trying to use it. The top of the connector just fell apart when plugged into the USB-C.2 port. I have not contacted anyone through their support line even after 2 days of trying. It would be much better if they just sent a decent cable along. Otherwise an excellent…

Good but a little heavy and the magnet comes off too easily.

I like the simple setup. It's plug and go with my MacBook Pro. The picture is pretty good. My only issues are that it detaches from the magnet too easily if I shift in my seat at all, and the weight causes my MacBook to tip over a bit. I probably should have taken a little less.

Great product!: my review

When I travel and am not in the home office, I use them. I'm much more efficient with a second monitor. It's easy to use. I had an issue with my cable and connection and they replaced it with no questions asked. Excellent customer service.

Overall great product - magnetic mount could be improved

The 14" SideTrak Swivel works well. The screen is sharp, bright, and truly plug-n-play. The only downside would be that I wish the magnet/mount was stronger. It stays attached with no issues unless you have to be careful be. when the screen rotates. or it could fall off. The manufacturer's suggestion would be to "snap" it to a magnet. Also, I think the price is a bit high - but given the quality and convenience, it has to I don't. I'm lugging around a full size monitor but I'm still glad I…
