2.5K Portable Monitor, MagicRaven 16 2520x1680, 1500:1 IPS Laptop Monitor, Slim Lightweight USB C HDMI Computer Display, Gaming Screen with Speakers, Travel Monitor for Mac PC Phone PS4/5 Xbox Switch

I am working from home so needed another monitor that can bring along while I am out or traveling. This is life changing. All I need is a laptop and a monitor and I can work everywhere. Or if you want you can watch movies in the car with this guy and it is so convenient since it is very lightweight. The packaging is nice too so it makes a perfect gife as well.

its good for the price

Know what youre getting. This isnt for gaming or graphic design, but it works great as a second monitor for work or web-based stuff, and its extrememly thin and light if you want to travel with it. It will work fine for watching movies, but its not a portable cinema. The picture is very good and the high resolution is nice to have. Looks noticeably sharper than similar 1080 models. It comes with all the wires you might need, but is used best with a USB-C cable that sends power and signal. You might need to install DisplayLink drivers.

Crashed my windows PC with a bluescreen (note I followed the directions emailed to me to only use the supplied cables.) when connected via usb-C. Worked for about 20 minutes via HDMI (looked good when it worked) but then died. Power light still comes on but it just says no source Poor experience cannot recommend.

Gift for my grandson.

I bought the 1200P version of the same brand and I was super satisfied with that monitor. I thought the 2.5K version would be another step up but I was wrong. Basically if you like a mirror to be your monitor and your eyes are strain tolerant, this monitor is for you. Pros: 1. Super thin and super light 2. Has multiple connection options 3. Cons: 1. The biggest con is that this monitor for some weird reason uses a mirror alike material. You will be staring at a mirror as your monitor. You can see everything behind you above you around you, the lighting reflection from above or from the window is so intensive that it could blind you. It hurts so bad after just stared at it for 15 mins. I wish this was a matte finish material . To me, this is a DEAL KILLER. 2. It shows as FHD resolution on my Dell laptop and doesnt display so called 2.5K at all. Changed to another Lenovo laptop, it still only display FHD 1080P resolution. it never worked. Hugely disappointed. Returning... Disclaimer: If you are graphic designer or video editor, you may like this monitor because it is very glossy which could provide better color rendering. If you are an average joe and road warrior on the go like me, matte screen monitor is much easier on your eyes if you need to stare at it for hours. This is just a personal opinion so I only give it 3 stars. The workmanship is good. +++ Update on the resolution part, this monitor has two USB C ports. When I use the USB C port in the middle, it only output 1080P and show so on Windows Screen settings. Wen I use the USB C port at the bottom, then it correctly show the 2.5k resolution.

This little monitor has a thin profile and works well for a video game system. The mini HDMI cable is included but I purchased a shorter thinner cable for portability. The cover is magnetic and holds the screen in place well while doubling as a stand.

Were these available 5 years ago? When using my personal laptop, I had to suffer with a single, low resolution display. My new personal laptop can support an external monitor and saw other units like this for much more $$. This model is particularly thin, but sturdy. I have no problem fitting it into my laptop bag along with all my accessories and cords. And the price was right! I love it! The unit came with a ton of cords, but the single USB-C to USB-C connector is all Ive needed to power and show content on the external monitor. I dont do gaming, so I cant rate this for that purpose. But I *do* watch movies and sometime tennis on my laptop and that seems to be just fine. For all I *do* use it for, Im all smiles!

Item as expected

perfect monitör , it have hdr display , amd freesync also brightness level is enough. the best part is that when you connect it to the mac mini with the type-c cable coming out of it, it doesnt need extra power to work directly.
