Not the brightest screen but works well enough

Bought for my wife for business. She needs multiple screens for accounting and taxes, and she can't take her giant home screens with her on the road. Caveat: Your computer is a 5 year old Dell Latitude 3570 (15 inch screen) without a USB-C port. The good news is that one USB-A port is enough to power both screens. The bad news is that 2 USB-A to USB-C cables broke (more on that later) and every other USB-A to USB-C cable I'm using doesn't fit well as well causes the screens to flicker constantly. . I have contacted the seller and should receive a replacement cable shortly to fix the cable issue. However, as with all other reviews, nothing will make the screens as bright as we would like. They still work quite well when working indoors, but a bit more brightness would be nice. I also tried this setup on a new Dell Vostro 5410 (13 inch screen) with just a USB-C to USB-C cable. Except for the brightness problem, it works great. Setting up screens with Windows 10's display settings takes some practice, but they will eventually appear in the correct positions for the mouse to move normally. Finally, the final issue is that the system's pawl isn't exactly square, at least not on a 15-inch screen. The top is snug, but the bottom rubber bumpers are loose, resulting in the backplate not fitting snugly to the laptop. The whole mechanism falling off the laptop caused 2 USB-A to USB-C cables to break right at the USB-C connector. This is not a problem when using my smaller laptop where everything is nice and secure. Not sure what the solution is other than using a few small pieces of felt on the bottom bumpers to get a firmer grip on the large laptop. The footrest helps too. In general, extended screens are good for travel. I can't compare this item to cheaper models but more often than not you get what you pay for.
