Excellent image quality, easy setup and light weight

This monitor has really good picture quality and is easy to set up. The sound is not loud enough for my purposes (measurements), but it is enough to expand my laptop. It's very thin and light which makes it perfect for what I use it for. The magnetic cover is a nice touch to protect it in transit.

Excellent tool! to my rating.

Update: I've been using my new monitor on an unplugged laptop for almost 3 hours; stayed bright and drained the battery no more than a laptop normally does. This kid is a game changer. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. Shown here with accessory stand. Original Review: This is a gem of a product. Simple plug and play. Great colors and graphics. This makes me much more productive without having to carry around an actual monitor. When I go on long trips, I take one of my monitors with me. Enough, this monitor…

Seems like a sure bet!

I wish I'd known this sooner when I was lugging around a full monitor and my Mac Mini. Now I have a MacBook and I need an extra screen. It's easy to carry, is powered by my Macbook and the picture is good! I've only used it once so I'll let you know if I run into any problems. I doubt I'll have any problems since he looks like a tank! Featured!

Excellent monitor, the best in my rating

Bought with a monitor as an extra monitor for my laptop when traveling. The quality of the monitor seems really great and it is very easy to set up. Instructions are clear and customer service was very helpful whenever I had a question. I'll use it even when I'm not traveling.

Exactly what I needed - my new review

I needed a portable monitor to work from my couch due to surgery and this is what I needed. So far, so good. They also offer an extra year of warranty if you email them.

Excellent product in my review.

There are many different cables that come with the monitor, but I have a Surface Pro and the mini-DP cable is not one of them. The instructions provided made it clear to me what I needed. The required cable was sent to me free of charge within 2-3 days. Excellent customer care.

Better than expected.

After learning how to use the settings button, I was able to set up the screen perfectly. Totally versatile when I need a second screen for my laptop or when I want to view pictures from my Samsung phone. The monitor is lightweight and the same size as my laptop, so I can use the same carrying cases for both. There are so many monitors on the market that its features and additional discounts make this monitor a steal.

Problems are resolved and customer service is fast and very helpful

In response to my previous complaint about distortion and blurring, customer service was quick to chime in and offer help. They fixed the problem by changing the upscaled resolution to 1080p, and they offered a free Lightning cable to connect to the iPhone. I am now very satisfied with the product and the service.

Great portable monitor.

The monitor works exactly as described. I just plugged it into my Windows 10 computer and it was recognized immediately. It looks bigger than in the picture. The speakers sound a little tinny, but that's easily remedied with the headphone jack. I have a feeling the brightness could be a bit brighter, but that's not a problem, especially for a portable monitor.

Complicated USB-C connection

It worked fine for a couple of weeks when connected via USB-C. Then one day the screen just went black. After some fiddling, I find that it turns itself off when my computers are asleep. The solution is to turn it off every night or unplug it from my laptop as soon as it shuts down. For the price it's a decent second monitor and I can travel with it which is very handy.

Great product, great company!

Bought this monitor for traveling. I like the quality of the product and the fact that it comes with a protective magnetic cover that doubles as a stand. The company is SUPER responsive, with excellent communication. I'm really satisfied!

My rating is impressive.

So far, so good. When I took it out of the packaging for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised. There was no shipping damage and it was literally "plug and play". (I use exclusively for work). It took me a few tries to figure out the most effective way to connect it to my work laptop and docking station, but so far I haven't had any issues other than the Lenovo battery draining quickly. I bought this to go home to the opposite coast, I will buy a quality case for it and I am optimistic…

Good buy but I don't like one thing

All is well. Vesa mount and everything works as advertised. Screen quality is pretty good for what it is. For me it's just for browsing the web while having CAD and Excel open on my ultrawide. The speakers are ok but don't expect much. I would prefer it just had no speakers. This is comparable to a high-end cell phone. My only problem is that it doesn't rotate automatically. So when I flip it over to the Vesa mount I have to go into the display settings to fix it. Otherwise I am satisfied and…

I ordered this to have a second monitor when I'm not at my desk. It's just amazingly easy to install and very functional. Definitely recommend to anyone who travels a lot or just wants a second screen without wires and hassles.

A friend told me about this monitor so I bought it earlier this month. I am impressed with the quality and portability of this monitor, it will help me a lot when traveling as I will still have a dual monitor setup. The resolution is crisp and clear - I like that.

Good, bright portable monitor.

I bought a monitor for convenience when traveling for business. The brightness and clarity of the screen are excellent. All the cables needed to connect to the Dell Latitude worked great. As a dual monitor it's great and the same size as my laptop screen. Thanks to the included flip cover/stand, the monitor sits at the same height as my laptop's screen when placed on a desk or desk, making it a little easier to bounce around. The only downside is that the monitor needs to be plugged in - my…

Great for remote work when traveling internationally!

As I travel a lot around the world I decided to buy a second monitor for my laptop as my desktop at home has two monitors. This portable monitor will not disappoint you! Comes with the necessary cables and the screen is bright and adjustable. I mainly chose this monitor for its ability to connect to VESA based stands, but the flip cover that comes with the monitor, which doubles as a stand, is very handy. The lightweight and slim design is perfect for stowing in the same computer/courier bag…

Quality and simplicity suit me

I am very impressed with this external monitor. It was very easy to set up and the resolution is excellent. I have previously bought a side rail that cost twice as much but the resolution and quality is not comparable to this type. This one is larger and comes with a speaker. My only suggestion is that the volume should be higher on this monitor.

Outstanding product quality and customer service

The monitor met all my expectations! The screen image quality is clear. The matte screen and blue light filter protect your eyes from glare. I've had this monitor for less than a week, but I've already increased my productivity with this gadget! I took it on a family trip and used it to Dex edit some videos from my phone (video demo below).
