I can't adjust the brightness on the MacBook Pro but got 4 stars

UPDATED: Considering the price, I overlook some of the mentioned cons and give it 4 stars. Go: 1. Beautiful, lightweight design2. Protective case/stand included3. Works with Mountain Lion after disc install (MacBooks without an optical drive will have to search the web to download a driver) - other reviewers say it works with Mavericks4. Good prices No-Go1. Cannot increase brightness using adjustment buttons on monitor (Mac monitor max; and no, ASUS rep, this is not a power management issue on…

Better than expected.

I've used this for a few weeks while traveling and working remotely and haven't had any issues. It has survived several car and plane rides well and has also been carried in a backpack. Setup is relatively easy and offers enough settings for a comfortable viewing experience. The lid/stand isn't very strong, but it works.

Works but difficult to set up

The default screen setting is too bright. I need to find a way to adjust it so my eyes don't hurt. I followed the instructions to install the software used to configure the settings. It worked; However, this messed up my laptop screen setup and disabled my laptop screen setup software. And the software I installed for it doesn't adjust my laptop's screen. So I got a nice extra screen and a very bright original laptop screen (now I can hardly use my original monitor because it stings my eyes). I

When you need a second screen for your laptop

The quality of this portable monitor is fantastic. Colors are crisp, the screen is very light and portable, and setup is almost zero, just plug and play. The lid/stand is a bit awkward at first, but once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder why other portable monitors don't have the same design.

Good for a second screen, but picture quality isn't the best

It works like a second screen for your laptop and I use it all the time. I'm happy with the use, but the image quality is a little worse than I expected. You have to resize the windows you drag on them and Excel spreadsheets are a little fuzzy. It's bright enough, but there's no way to adjust it. For the price, however, it's a good deal. Just don't expect the same crisp images as your laptop screen. Runs on your laptop battery but drains your battery. I always try to plug in my laptop when…

Portable screen is good for me

Nice pic. Flicker-Free! The monitor had trouble connecting to the Mac Book Lab, but worked well with HP and Chromebooks.

Ideal for people who are traveling for work

If you're traveling for work and need a second screen, this is a great buy. My only complaint is that trying to fold down the holder to hold the monitor is a pain in the ass. I suggest watching the video until you memorize it.

Until now; so good. - my new rating

I like to work a lot on the computer and sit on the floor with the dogs (see picture). This monitor is great for that. Lightweight, no power cord. I like that the carry case can be used as a stand. The black flap on the front makes you want to keep trying to move the mouse with the trackpad (as if there were a keyboard there). I noticed that some reviewers say it's fragile. Which is a big problem when dealing with three stubborn dogs. But I use it on a soft palette, so when the dogs knock it…

On the fence above

When I first bought the screen I was very excited! It worked fine for the first 2-3 months, now the screen keeps getting darker, basically turning off and on again, sometimes not. It's very frustrating as it happens every few minutes, I teach online and occasionally record lectures and it's difficult when the screen keeps turning on and off. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I'm not overly excited about it, although when it works it's great!

Impressive screen in my review.

Excellent screen resolution and the ability to work from a single USB-C connection is great. Small criticism of the stand: The screen slips off the stand cover quite easily.
