Trio Chromebook 12.5" Portable Monitor with 1920X1080 Resolution - Lightweight and Convenient Review

UPDATE: I've now been contacted multiple times by someone associated with this manufacturer, asking them to remove my review in exchange for a $50 AWS gift card. I'm not sure if this is a scam, but if not, this behavior bothers me and defeats the purpose of an honest review. Careful. I liked it, I really tried. The idea is great, the implementation so-so. I'm really starting to question reviews on Amazon now. Pros: Pretty decent backlighting, pretty damn comparable to my laptop (if not…

I like that it's easy to install and easy to connect to any laptop running Windows 10. It drains the laptop's battery, but it takes a while. The magnet is strong and the box comes with some magnets if you want to use it with another device that has a USB-C port. I highly recommend it as I have a 15 inch laptop, it greatly improves the display performance. It also has a flare on the back of the monitor to warn others to stay away from your extended monitor and the LED backlight looks fantastic.

I've been using mobile pixels for a few years now and I honestly don't understand how I used to work without them. I work a lot on my laptop, and to be honest, a second screen has at least doubled or even tripled my workload. First, the screen is very easy to install with step-by-step instructions. Secondly, it is very easy to take it anywhere. I travel a lot as I'm a digital nomad which means I'm constantly moving and traveling to different countries around the world. I can easily take my…

That works great. A few cons. I need to place my laptop at eye level so I had to use drawers to support the second screen. I like that it's portable and I can take it with me or leave it on my desk. I laughed a lot trying to touch the screen to open the window. LOL, it's not a touchscreen. We're used to anything with a touchscreen. I love this product that helps me prepare for an online course. I am very satisfied with this product.

Overall a good investment if it lasts. Pros: Simple plug and play with 1 cable per monitor that can be connected to USB or USB-C. A decently sized, crisp screen that boosts productivity on the go or in tight spaces. Versatility is also a plus. Vertical/vertical view is useful in some applications. Cons: The construction could be stronger. The hinges should feel less brittle and I'm concerned about durability. The weight of the screen puts stress on the hinges when they are extended as shown in…

It looks good and works like a second screen and the picture quality is pretty good too. One problem I had is that it's very difficult to get the screen out. I hope mine is just bad but I have to remove the screen from my laptop, pull it out of the case and then put it back on when I want to use it.

The Trio monitor is a great addition to my work computer. This allows me to open multiple applications and improve my productivity.

The monitor is high quality and easy to set up. HOWEVER, I removed it from my laptop and placed it on the table in front of me, magnets facing up. Without thinking, I put my laptop on it and the magnets wiped my hard drive clean. Gone, dead, irrevocable. So a $250 monitor cost me $1,000 to replace my laptop.

I got a laptop for work from home and the monitor they gave me is too big. I have a very small house and little space to work. With this monitor I can now work in a small space and still have two monitors. While I still prefer working in an office, working from home suits my needs.

I need an extra monitor for my laptop and the trio did the job. I like the idea and the delivered product. However, I just couldn't fix my screen with magnets. it seems to be slowly sliding down because it is too heavy.

Very happy with my second screen. Excellent quality HD picture. So easy to install. Good for on the go. Now I can't imagine how I could work on my laptop without a second screen. Simple instant connection, use. Delivered on time and in good condition. I actually bought two and have recommended this product to several of my colleagues.

I bought this screen to be able to work remotely, with the same layout as on my desk (2 screens). It was a great investment as I can easily move documents between my laptop screen and this one. I just want to buy the larger version.

The product worked for the first month and then stopped working. There is no way to contact the manufacturer. Terrible experience.

Definitely overpriced. But I love how you can attach it to your laptop with magnets and pull out anything in your laptop bag. Very comfortable but seems easy to break. overpriced.

Customer service is terrible. AD says it works with Chromebook. It is not. It's only after you've bought drivers for Chrome OS and tried to download them that you'll find that there are no drivers for Chromebook. When I contacted customer service it took 3 days to answer the question which monitor I bought. I replied that I had never heard from them again. If you have a non-USB Chromebook, don't buy it

It was great but it got stuck when I tried to close it and now it's torn and I can't open it. Glad it's exactly a year old. Too expensive for a year.

It only comes with 1 display, although it mentions "Trio Portable Monitor for Laptop, Mobile12.5 Dual & Triple Screen". Don't be an idiot :) .

I don't know how they did it; but they managed to allow the usbc port to receive video signals, which (as far as i know) is not possible with a simple adapter. For all other options, you either used a USB port or a mix of USB and HDMI ports. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to reserve their USB ports for something else.

I like the product but the monitor doesn't last. Sticks on very securely. Slim and lightweight. Good picture quality.. Monitor seems too heavy for stickers.
