> 3 dayIve had this screen for about 3 weeks and it works great! The cable packages come well labeled, so hooking it up to my laptop was simple. The sound will default to the screen but is easy to switch back to the laptop. Sound and screen work as expected and the color difference wasnt noticeable between screens for me. Literally its a plug and play device - I have used it for both my asus personal laptop and my dell work laptop with no issues. The screen is a great size, the case it comes in easily converts to a stand, and the settings are simple to use. For the price, this has exceeded my expectations.

Greater than one weekIm really happy with the fact that I only need to use a single USB-C cable for most of my needs (this is usually a 2nd monitor for laptop when Im mobile). I was pleasantly surprised to learn how useful it is for many other things; Raspberry Pis, ODROID, but most of all, its an EXCELLENT when plugged into my phone because I get to use Samsung Dex and its nearly as good as a laptop.

> 3 dayI have been working from home since March 2020 and waiting to receive a 2nd monitor from my job to use along with the laptop they gave me. When you are working on a 15.6 screen laptop, used to having 2 monitors in the office, and having many windows view work for different tasks is not easy. This monitor is a life-saver. It was easy to set up as the directions give clear instruction on how to do it. The screen quality is great. After speaking with my jobs Tech department, making sure I could toggle program windows back and forth between my laptop and this monitor - I was good to go. I sent my Amazon order # to the support email provided to activate my 2 year warranty and theforhelp support team responded right away confirming. I like the fact the company that made this laptop offers great customer service (per the other reviews). I am recommending this monitor to others I know who need a 2nd monitor or just a portable one. Also, the price is reasonable and I loved the packaging of the monitor. It is really a great buy. Thank you to this company for providing a great product.

> 3 dayI work from home and use a 24 inch stationary monitor along with my 13 inch work laptop at home. I was looking for a portable monitor to pair with my work laptop for travel and be able to work from essentially anywhere. This monitor fits the bill perfectly. I mainly work with data so picture quality wasnt a top priority for me. As long as the characters are clear and the screen is bright enough thats all I need. This monitor far exceeds those requirements. The picture quality is excellent. I plan to request they send me the lightening adapter (which they say they will send for free) so I can use it with my iphone to mirror whats on my phone to a larger screen. Ill then use it on long haul flights to watch movies or shows Ive downloaded and will not have to travel with an Ipad in order to watch movies on a larger screen. For what I paid ($79) this was a great investment. Most of the similar monitors i saw on Amazon were at least $100. Three things Id wish for in this monitor: 1) I wish they supplied a storage bag for the cords. Each cord comes in a ziplock style plastic bag that you can use for a while but would be nicer if they had a dedicated bag or pouch that stored all the cords together for easy travel. 2) The case is a bit flimsy. It is magnetic so the magnet holds it firmly to the back of the monitor which is metal, but the screen is not magnetized so the flap that folds over the screen can easily come off. The edges of the screen are metal so the edges of the screen are held on to the case but its not firm and I could see the case becoming dislodged during travel. The case is also relatively soft, so Id be careful with putting it in a bag with other devices or hard items without padding because the screen could easily get cracked. I wish the case had some sort of a clasp or elastic cord that fits around a button to make it more secure. 3) I wish the entire unit were a bit lighter. I havent traveled with it yet but it seems like it will add at least a couple of pounds to my carry-on. This point isnt a dealbreaker for me because I think its a substantial well made monitor but it would be icing on the cake.

> 3 dayThis screen is exactly what my wife needed. It lets her carry her laptop and screen anywhere! She uses it for work and loved it! She does need to have two monitors and loves how easy it is to set up and pack away in a hurry. Came with all the chords we needed! Excellent! Does not draw too much power and is bright even outside in the patio where she lives to sit and work. She loves it!

> 3 dayI have to admit, I was a bit hesitant to take a chance on an unknown company without much of an Amazon footprint. However, Im glad I did! The monitor has exceeded my expectations, and I wouldnt hesitate to purchase from this company again. I emailed the company to register my product and found they were prompt, friendly, and highly professional in their response. This service level only adds to my satisfaction with the monitor itself. Though a newer model is available, this model was perfect for my needs, especially at its sub $100 price point. I primarily use it as an extra monitor for emails, messages, and general text, and it performs flawlessly. The monitor is super lightweight, and with the free gift you can request when registering the product, you get an additional case that seems to protect the monitor even more. It runs on USB-C, so there are no proprietary cables, and it has worked for me both angled and in line with my laptop, depending on the desk space. No issues working off my Mac (2016 MBP), and it powers directly without needing the extra charge cable. One important thing to remember is to ensure youre using the included cables or ones that meet at least USB 3.1 standards. As other reviewers have mentioned, I initially tried using a different cable from a reputable company, only to find that the monitor didnt work. After reading the reviews, I switched to the cable in the package, and the monitor worked seamlessly. This is a critical piece of advice that can save you time, frustration, and a trip to Best Buy.

> 3 dayMy husband does a lot of remote work although he has a home office he doesn’t always want to be cooped up in there by himself. This portable monitor allows him to work from the breakfast table and engage in conversation. The monitor comes with various adapters so you don’t have to make an additional purchase also the monitor has a magnetic cover!! This comes in handy for when he has to travel he can just put it in his backpack along with his laptop. The fact that you can register it for warranty makes it that much better. Not to mention the monitor is 15.6 inch amazing!!!

Greater than one weekThe monitor works as advertised. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality. The case is apple-esque and protects the monitor well. This monitors comes with: usb-a to usb-c usb-c to usb-c HDMI to mini hdmi And there was an offer for.a free accessory if you sent email with Amazon order number. They responded within hours with a tutorial video and offered additional assistance if needed. Amazing customer support. Now more on the product. I bought primarily as a monitor for my OLED Nintendo switch. (Alongside a case that contains the dock and all switch accessories.) this works flawlessly with 2 cables. Option 1. with dock: A. provided usb-a to usb-c from front of dock to monitor (for power) B. HDMI to hdmi-mini from dock to monitor C. Nintendo switch power supply to dock (This charges the switch while you play) Or without dock: A. use the usb-c to usb-c from switch to monitor. B. Separate power source for monitor, I’ve tested battery banks, and various usb plugs. All have worked great. This gives tons of flexibility. I’ll probably get another monitor to mount alongside my dedicated racing sim just to run a playlist via Spotify. 10/10, will buy again.

> 3 dayShort summary: This product seems okay for use while traveling IF you’re CAREFUL with it. It’s also good if you don’t have other options. I can’t honestly recommend it for any other scenario. Explanation: The title of this product says “USB-C HDMI Second External Monitor for Laptop…” and “Premium Smart Cover” and I think that’s a little bit misleading. In the product description, you’ll notice that the screen itself has a mini HDMI port, which is different from regular HDMI. The HDMI in the product title is referring to the port you need on YOUR device. On the plus side, they offer to send you an adapter for free if you need one for mini DisplayPort or Lightning connections. I’ve reached out for mini DP and I’m waiting to hear back. I also wouldn’t describe the cover as “premium” or “smart” in any way. It’s magnetic and just fine. As for the actual device, I feel like I have to handle it the same way as I would a raw egg—it feels delicate and as if it could break very easily. They packaged it well and included a warning to be careful with it, too. I definitely wouldn’t feel comfortable tossing it in a backpack or carry-on bag unless it’s in a hard, solid case. The “premium smart cover” does not qualify for this whatsoever. I tested the display using a different computer than the one I got it for (one that has an HDMI port) and it works fine. If you’re on a budget and need the bare minimum fast, this will work for you. If you’re looking for something more long-term, definitely splurge on something more quality.

> 3 dayThis portable external monitor is a game changer! Ive always had the huge/clunky/heavy/awkward external monitors, so when my recent external monitor broke I was reluctant to try one of the smaller, portable external monitors. Fortunately, I did try this monitor, which is not only a lot less expensive but COMES WITH ALL OF THE NECESSARY WIRES...no trips to an office supply store for me! Im never going back to the traditional external monitor!!
