Greater than one weekUsed this product as a second monitor for work, while traveling. Had some issues after the first use and customer service promptly took care of the problem. I recommend it.

> 3 dayUpdate 7/21/22: Still 5 stars. Working perfectly and durable. Carry it around in my pack with 2 PCs (work and personal). Packaging this comes in is so nice and durable that I hated to throw it out - but did, yesterday. The box almost seemed like I should use it for something but resisting my hoarding temptations, got rid of it. Someone mentioned it in a review as being fragile. I do not get that feeling but I suppose if you damaged it, then you might think that. But they still gave it 5-stars, anyway. The tech still seems like magic that video and power can both go in that usb-c cable (if you have a video capable USB-C port which you likely do not, if not having a newer and better computer but still great with the provided HDMI mini connector). ------ I took this out of the box and plugged it into my work PC with the USB-C to USB-C connector that came with the monitor. It came right to life perfectly. Thats it - connected with one cable and it was on. The settings to extend the monitor, duplicate the screen, etc. worked exactly like any second monitor and was super simple (these are settings on your computer - not the monitor). There is sound from a built in speaker which might work if you need sound in a pinch but ANY computer or phone speakers will be much better (my phone speakers blow this monitors speakers away). With my older but still pretty modern Acer notebook the USB-C is not apparently the newest and will only provide power and will not feed the video like my newer Dell work notebook. It still works well, however, by using the USB-C for power and the provided HDMI to mini-HDMI connector. So it just needed 2 cables instead of 1 and it worked perfectly (have it on right this second). It is amazing (to me, anyway) how well this works with just power from the USB-C cable. The quality of the display seems comparable to my desktop external monitor or any screen on a notebook computer. The cover/stand took me a minute to figure out but it is very simple. Just took a minute to see how they meant for it to work but then, super simple. I hope the screen is durable as I plan to carry it around in my backpack with my 2 PCs when I work outside the house.

> 3 dayHappy with purchase. Ordered and received same day. Did not include the stand, however, if you email KYY directly requesting the stand (so that it can be mounted landscape vs portrait), they will send it out free of charge. Customer service is quick to respond and received the stand in a day or two via FedEx Ground. The stand could be slightly taller to accommodate cabling a bit better or possibly an adjustable height stand. Not a deal breaker though. Good color and refresh times. All cabling included to setup with virtually any configuration. Especially like the USB C Thunderbolt setup as it is less cabling.

> 3 daythis is a great piece of technology, very handy and useful. ive been looking for a way to game in bed for a long time lol and even got an overbed table before but this is so much better. unfortunately none of the tablets they make come with video in so portable monitor is the solution. the screen is pretty light, so holding it on your body is pretty comfortable. sound volume on maximum is good enough for me. (but maybe they will make improved models later) it doesn’t overheat or make noise. no dead pixels or discoloring. the magnetic stand is very handy and helpful. now, im a gamer. i read some reviews that people had trouble with a grainy image. this is because monitor original setting is low resolution. and i want to note that in order to have good quality image on Xbox Series S you need to go connect monitor via hdmi cable, and then go to Settings on your xbox dashboard and change display resolution. the monitor also has controls button on the left side, but its to select other options like HDR mode etc. im impressed at convenience of this device. despite it not being wireless this is like having your own very first portable Xbox console. i got it primary for gaming, but it comes with 2 connectors so im sure you can use it with other devices. hope this was helpful to someone. and that in the future it comes in different colors and gets thinner and more advanced. thanks KYY, good company.

> 3 dayI’ve purchased and used a number or portable monitors. I primarily use mine for business. This monitor is a good choice and an excellent value. First impressions were based on the packaging. Very well package with every component sealed. The box includes everything needed to get connected and running. My laptop has a fully functional UCB-C. When connected, the PC recognized the monitor and the monitor display immediately came up. No external power was needed. If using the mini HDMI connection, you will need to connect the included power source to one of the two USB-C ports on the monitor. The monitor has a very nice and slim profile. The screen displayed pictures and text very well. The colors were good however, they appear muted when compared to a higher end 4K OLED screen. The screen is bright enough to work efficiently in a lit room and the screen appears to brighten further when the power supply is used as opposed to only using the USB-C power from the PC. The onboard speakers are functional but as is the case with any of these portable monitors, you will find them lacking as the primary sound media output. The included magnetic cover functions as a stand with two viewing positions and does a good job protecting the screen when stored. In addition to my PC, i was able to connect an android device with no issue. An iPhone requires a special adapter however, an iPad Pro will function with only the USB-C cable. Overall, this is a very good portable monitor and will serve you well without breaking the bank.

Greater than one weekI plugged it up and worked right away!! i love it. I am using it with PC. I wanted a small second screen because I dont have much more room on my desk. The only problem is that I had to order another connector to use it with my video card. That wasnt much of a hassle though. Great price!

Greater than one weekThis works well, thats about what I can say about it. It is not spectacular, it is not fantastic, it is not stupendous. It just overall works for a portable monitor. Ive seen plenty with more bells and whistles than this thing but they are also usually priced higher. The HDR is straight hot garbage so dont use it. But for average browsing and occasional gaming ... it definitely displays its qualities

> 3 dayI can’t believe i have been looking at a big ugly monitor in my home office for years when this exists. The quality and function is as good as a traditional second screen but it folds away when not in use AND is easily portable. What a great little product. Hopefully it lasts but even if i have to replace in a year it would be worth it IMO.

> 3 dayI’m not sure if it’s because of my MacBook M but I need the same link box with this portable monitor as for my home monitors. It would be better if I could plug it directly into my laptop and not need additional equipment. The screen quality it great. Additionally, I couldn’t get the sound to come through the monitor as it states. Ideally, to get four stars, it would need to be wireless for the cost.

> 3 dayClear, well lit screen. Same 1920x1080 resolution as my laptop, so dragging windows from laptop screen to this screen doesn’t have that annoying resolution switch. I can carry this around with me to coffee shops, airport lounges, hotels, etc, and always have 2 screens available—powered from the USB port, no wall brick required. This is extremely useful for a traveling professional.
