Trio Portable Monitors: Touch-Sensitive and IPS Compatible (101-1004P01) Review

I regret this purchase. Too late to return them so I got scammed like so many people in the reviews. I will report this on social networks and try to help others not to become a victim of scammers. Please save your money. I wanted two extra monitors for my work laptop when traveling. About every 3-5 minutes they set my entire system, all 5 monitors and laptops in my home and office to blink, beep which drives me crazy, stay dark for about 30 seconds and then slowly come back. . I let our IT…

This product is essential for obvious reasons. I will divide my review into 3 parts: what you need to know before you buy, the pros and cons. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: The 14-inch screen still works with smaller laptops; Simply position the magnets at the top of the laptop so they grip the bottom. built in trio magnets - your company may not allow you to install software display drivers (or you may run into compatibility issues). However, I can confirm that when using USB-C these monitors connect…

Honestly! When WFH came I didn't bring my docking station or extra monitors as I was already working from home 2 days before my company's massive office shutdown in March 2020. A few months later I returned to collect the items and found that they were gone. My company put the equipment in storage and found it wasn't stolen. But it's 2022, I'm WFH forever and decided to buy this and it's perfect! It doesn't take up much space (I don't have an office size desk anymore) and is sufficient for my…

I bought this product over a year ago and I can't believe how much easier it is now to keep track of, edit and take classes on multiple documents with my 17" Dell laptop. The only issue I had was almost doubling the weight of my laptop and depending on how far I tilted the screen back I had to place the support at an angle to keep it from moving down. I had no issues with monitor or computer performance due to the magnets used to attach the Trio screen. As a writer and educator, it's easy to…

Original Review This is a pretty good solution. The problem is that the glue on the magnets will fail over time. There are extra parts in the box, which is good, and it's the magnets that fail the most, but the square square on the monitor itself will also come loose over time. That's a lot harder to fix. After I posted a review about the faulty magnets, the company contacted me and sent me their new magnet system. This system looks much better than the original. This kind of customer service…

Advantages: 1. Good packaging.2. Fast Shipping Cons: 1. MacBook Pro (2017 15.6 inch) doesn't support use without stand. Pulls the screen back (I was nervous it would damage the hinges)2. When the Trio Max is plugged in, my MacBook gets very hot; even when on the table/knees.3. The Trio Max attaches to the front of your laptop with magnets that permanently attach to the front of your laptop/laptop case.4. The Trio Max's screen quality is significantly inferior to that of the MacBook Pro because:

I bought two of these to set up a triple monitor for working on my laptop when traveling. I initially had issues with the magnetic strips on the back, but customer service was quick to respond and let me exchange the broken one and the new one has been working great ever since. All in all, these monitors have made remote working a real possibility as I often have to have many windows open at the same time. One downside that hasn't been addressed is that they can only work on Linux by plugging…

I am very happy with my monitor and use it all the time. Ideal for traveling or working at home. Amazing customer service and experience

If your laptop has a connector that goes into the back, I suggest placing the magnets a little higher on the lid than the instructions say. The reason for this is that when my laptop is plugged in, the cable pushes one side of the monitor up where the other side stays down, causing the monitor to tilt. This is normal, except that the monitor pulls even more when it's open and it looks like it's about to detach. If I sat at my desk all the time I could probably plug in a small stand and that…

I work from home and now have a 3 monitor system. The wife uses her laptop throughout the house and I felt left out watching her work while comfortably seated on the comfy couch next to the fireplace (or on the patio in summer/spring). So I'm stuck in my stuffy office. Enter Trio Max. I have all 3 screens for the same productivity from anywhere in the house! Not to mention when I travel! Setup is relatively easy. The magnets are surprisingly strong (even on BOTH monitors). The only downside is…

I think I'll have to tweak the settings because the colors seem a little dark, but other than that it's a great second screen for a laptop.

I am writing this review because I am considering returning the product. I have a Lenovo P1 Gen 3. It's not fair to compare my laptop's 4K OLED screen to an IPS screen, but I'd say it's decent. The size is also good and it goes so far that other applications are open for viewing from the side. I also like that you can set it up as a portrait and stand alone on a table. My issue with this product is that the magnetic mount just won't cut. I only use one and maybe two will make up for it but it…

First, the magnets used to attach a monitor to a laptop are useless. This can be overcome with lots of velcro, but you'll have to decide if you want to do this with your laptop. The monitor unexpectedly adds to the weight of the laptop. The arm that the monitor sits on is made of plastic and the monitor hangs slightly at an odd angle when the monitor is fully extended. The mount doesn't feel rigid or strong enough to withstand constant use. The monitor itself is pretty dim and I couldn't make…

Good that there is an additional screen. I bought one that's too big for my 13" MacBook Pro, but as long as it's on a solid surface it's fine. It makes the job a lot easier.

I thought when I bought it it had two screens, especially since the name says "three". I soon became disillusioned. Magnets and tape don't last long. The picture is not bad. The brightness can be regulated well.

The picture quality is really good. Due to the weight of the screen, there needs to be something on the side to give it more leverage and keep it level (which doesn't really matter). You need to install the software and from there connect the device to your computer (with magnets on your computer; bonus, they also add more magnets for other devices) and away you go!

Don't be discouraged if you're having trouble getting your laptop to recognize your new monitor. I spent two days downloading the drivers and restarting my computer to get my laptop to recognize the second screen. I followed the step-by-step instructions in the leaflet that came with it before contacting support. In a nutshell. when you look at your new monitor. You will see that there are TWO plugins. All I had to do was plug the cable into a different port and IT WORKS. Tech support was very…
