Greater than one weekI purchased this as an add-on display to use with my Steam Deck for when I have some downtime in a hotel while on a trip and I want to play games on a bigger, but still portable display. I owned the device for just under two months and with only light usage it eventually just refused to power on. I have requested a refund on that ground, since the product appears defective. My overall experience with using the device while it was working was mixed. When it worked, it worked as I would expect. The picture was fine and it handled 1080p just fine and was responsive. Getting it connected over the HDMI connection proved to be a trial and error process when using the Steam Decks dock. The instructions indicated that I had to connect everything up with it all being powered off, and so doing that seemed to have a higher success rate of working. Some of that compatibility might be on Valves end, but I also had trouble connective it to other devices via USB-C. I also found it annoying that the on-screen controls refused to function without any working input source, so there was no real troubleshooting I could do until the device was working, which, by that time was unnecessary. While my unit might be defective, I was not overly impressed with the user experience of this device. I think I might try another brand and see if I have better luck.

> 3 dayI was not real sure at first if this screen was going to be something I liked or not. When I received it however, it changed my mind. I feel the build quality is pretty good. I was expecting it to be kind of flimsy, but with the metal casing it gives it a feel of rigidity that I didnt expect to see. Powering it on and seeing how it looked was as expected from a 1080p screen. The picture is clear and although not the brightest screen on the market, it was brighter than I expected it to be. I have to say, I bought it with lower expectations, but was pleasantly surprised by the quality. The only issue I have is purely cosmetic and preference, however the inner part of the bezel has this metallic metal that shines and it is a little distracting from the screen. These are my initial thoughts, well see how it stands up to the test of time.

> 3 dayIve only used it for a few hours, but Ive used it with several devices and it doesnt run hot at all. When I hook it up to power and an android device with the full function usb-C cable it even charges the android device. I was able to take it out and plug it in and just worked, clean and simple. Small, lightweight, good quality picture for its size, and good color.

> 3 dayMediocre screen, with absolutely terrible sound. If you are not two feet away from it, you cant hear anything. If you dont need it for sound, then itll get the job done as a budget level screen. Menu functions also not very user friendly, and the volume buttons on the side have a tendency to be resigned upon entry and exit of the menu. Powering down the screen seems to correct this, but I find it quite tedious. One pro, its relatively slim, and the included magnetic cover is a plus.

> 3 dayI bought a portable monitor at a local office store, couldnt play video on it. Couldnt size it so that it matched my laptop screen. Based on reviews I have since read, there are technical reasons for this that I am not knowledgeable enough to articulate. I ordered this, and it works beautifully. It was easy to set up, it plays videos, and the spreadsheet on my laptop and the one on this screen can be sized the same. Love it.

Greater than one week**Update**I loved how it got power and display by just one type c cable. Picture was really good and had no noticable delay. The case it came with is not very sturdy and will not protect the screen...I literally used this screen once and the screen cracked while in my backpack. *The company reached out to me and offered to replace the monitor at no cost. I was very happy with the outcome. Id probably recommend a case to keep this in.

Greater than one weekThe monitor has two USB-C ports, and a mini-HDMI port. The HDMI cable connects to the HDMI on my laptop. The monitor can be powered by the USB port on the laptop without using the USB power adaptor that came with the monitor. Monitor quality is good - clear with matte surface. The speakers on the monitor are a bit weak; I just have the audio come from the laptop. The case feels metallic and solid. The cover that came with the monitor is flexible and functional for both screen protection and as a monitor stand. Overall, a great portable monitor especially at the price point.

20-11-2024the monitor itself is fine but the only way i could make it work with a nintendo switch was to have the nintendo power adapter plugged into a wall. it doesn’t work with a high power battery pack (more than the 2.5A the manual suggested). the speakers aren’t very good, very tinny, but i’d expect that from a monitor. especially at this price wish it worked for me :(
