Maxfree T2 Triple Portable Monitor for Laptop, 13.3 1080P FHD Dual Monitor, One Cable Plug and Play Laptop Screen Extender for Mac/Windows, Support M1/M2 Chip MacBook Monitor for 13.3”-17” Laptops

I purchased it for our summer vacation and I needed an extended screen for meetings so that I can present and read at the same time. Before you purchase any extended screen, check your screen size. It fits my hp laptop well and there was a back supporter. It comes with a separate high quality bag so that I can carry it around. It is reasonably light and easy to pack/unpack. I encountered an issue that one of the screens was flickering and I fixed the issue quickly. I had to change the settings to be 60hz to match up with my main laptop screen - in the middle. I read online that you can also switch the main screen. Apparently, it is a common issue for extended screens. The installation is simple. The chip is already in the extended screen, be sure to use the cable that comes with it so that the software can be automatically installed. Mine was up and running within a couple of minutes. With the extended screen, I can work during summer vacation.

This is an amazing product! Especially for someone like me who works from home. Its very convenient for me, both screens are very clear. Setting up is also relatively easy even for someone who is not tech savey. Its a great technology. The seller paid a lot of attention on packing products, each single cord is in an independent package. It can be seen that the seller cares about its product and customer. Very detailed and clear instructions.

If you are a traveler and you take gaming serious, or you are limited with work space? This double monitor will be ideal for you. Instead of having to buy two separate monitors and an arm that extends to each monitor, attach them to your desk or wall? Instead I use these. Easy to install for me, as plug and play was functional almost instantly. Great resolution and very portable. Not too heavy considering you are literally carrying two monitors. I love that they only require one cable plug in, instead of multiple cables for each monitor

This is pretty cool for traveling or even working in the living room. The screens are very heavy and you may need to use the kickstand support that comes with it depending on your laptop. Note, there is a micro SD card that it comes with to install software in order to use the monitors. So if you don’t want to install something then do not get this. Overall, it’s convenient and made well just know you’ll have to download software. I hope this was helpful!

I work from home 50% of the time and I have multiple monitors set up both at the office and at home. I bought this triple portable monitor and then I can use multiple screens anywhere. This allows me to have multiple monitors even when Im traveling or dont want to work at my desk. Its easy to transport and install wherever I need to work. The monitor connects to the laptop using a TYPE-C cable, which also powers the device without the need for an additional charger. This is truly a miracle in my life. Not only a great tool for work, but also the perfect tool for entertainment. I can easily connect it to my laptop or game console for an immersive gaming experience. Meanwhile, I can also play games, watch videos, check stocks, check emails, and shop online at the same time. Overall, with its slim design, lightweight build, and easy connectivity, this product is an excellent choice for anyone who needs to work with multiple monitors or entertain on the go. I love this product and recommend it to my friends.

Having multiple monitors is pretty useful for any kind of multitasking, not just for gamers. This allows you to do that pretty much anywhere you take your laptop. The colors are pretty good and the screens are a decent 1080p 60hz. It takes a minute or two to set up, but it’s nice that you don’t need any external power, just the laptop is enough. They don’t even seem to kill my laptop’s battery that quickly.

For the most part, this is a great unit. The materials are good and everything is robust and strong. The part that attaches to the laptop works very well and the kick stand in the back is also equally as good. Everything is easy to use also, including the OSD menu. The only negative I can see is the brightness. Even with backlight set to 100% you get maybe 200 nits to 250nits max. This is comparing with the 300nit screen my laptop has. Also a a slight aesthetic dislike is the huge max logo on the front. It is huge and I am not a fan of large branding like that. It is a good unit and will satisfy most people needing something like this.

Setup and connection is very easy and straightforward. They worked right out of the box, and use only one cord. I didn’t even bother reading the instructions, and everything works fine. They are adjustable like any external monitor: brightness, contrast, color, etc.. Personally, I would like them to get a little brighter and provide a bit more contrast than they do, but that’s probably a compromise of the single cord functionality. They do not draw power from anything other than the laptop to which they are connected a USB - C in my application. My old eyes can always use more brightness and contrast from a monitor. Anyone younger than 40 probably won’t have any complaints. They’re a bit pricey, but if you need portability with quick and easy connections, this works well. Unit folds on itself, and stores just like a laptop would - same size/ dimensions.

This extended screen setup offers a convenient way to extend your screen real estate, but there are a few things to consider. Firstly, its worth noting that this monitor is quite heavy, making it more suitable for production or gaming setups rather than casual portability. The added weight puts strain on the laptop screen, and while the manufacturer includes a foldable leg for support, there is still a risk of potential damage to the screen or hinge when moving the computer. To address this, I personally built a dedicated stand to hold the monitor at a secure angle. In terms of image quality, it is average overall. It tends to look best when paired with a 13 screen with a similar resolution. I tested it with my 15 HP gaming laptop, and the stark contrast in display quality between the high-resolution main screen and the two lower-quality external screens felt a bit odd. One issue I encountered is related to connectivity. Since it connects via USB-C, I experienced some challenges with SWRE (Simple Windows Runtime Editor) in adjusting windows across multiple screens, as well as with NVIDIA surround. Im not a Windows expert, so there might be solutions available that Im not aware of. However, its important to note these compatibility limitations. I have a point of criticism regarding the included supporting software. Instead of providing a direct download link, the software comes on a mini SD card that mounts when connecting to the computer. This unexpected approach could be improved for user convenience. Another aspect I didnt appreciate is the bright white logo printed prominently on both screens. Its not only visually displeasing but also distracting. I mitigated this issue by covering the logo with black Gaffa tape. Taking all these factors into account, I would rate the riple Portable Monitor for Laptop four stars. It would greatly benefit from a better design to support the screen, the inclusion of an HDMI input, and the repositioning of the plugs away from the bottom. However, despite these limitations, its truly remarkable to have the convenience of three portable screens that can be easily transported in a case. I hope this review provides valuable insights to help you make an informed decision

Short version: this does work on macOS over a single cable, it uses Silicon Motions Instant View (its basically display output over USB, and is similar to DisplayLink) so it does need a driver for it to work. I was able to test this with a 2016 Macbook Pro 15 and a 2016 Dell XPS 13; this thing is too large for 13in laptops, but 14in should be okay. It includes a microSD card reader that out of the box comes with a small microSD card that contains the Instant View drivers. The display themselves are okay for 1080p60hz, just keep in mind the angles I have in the picture is as far as they will go towards the keyboard. I wouldnt call this thing portable however, it takes some time to deploy and honestly just get a larger (16in 4k) portable monitor and save yourself some money while youre at it Long version: I got this since I was expecting to be more on-the-go for work, and I always need extra screen space. I was aware that it would use Silicon Motions Instant View for macOS compatibility over a single cable (macOS doesnt support Displayport MST, which means that it needs software solutions to support 2 displays over a single cable; in this case, Instant View is a competing implementation similar to how DisplayLink works, which is display output over USB). The build quality is good. The whole thing comes with a faux leather wrap, and the plastic itself despite feeling a bit light, doesnt feel too flimsy with a pretty durable ratchet to adjust width. This thing is too big for a 13in laptop like the 2016 Dell XPS 13 I tested this with, but for 14in laptops and larger it should have no problems; the 2016 15in Macbook Pro has no problems. Theres a small stand that leans on the back because otherwise any laptop (except something like a super heavy mobile workstation/gaming laptop) would tip over from the weight. The viewing angles actually work okay, but doesnt lean together towards the keyboard too much. In terms of practical use, it aint good. Its very cumbersome to deploy, and youre only getting 2 small 1080p displays. In comparison, you can just get a 15in or 16in portable monitor and just have an easier time; this is actually what I was using before (I have a 16in 16:10 4k portable monitor), and in fact it is far more easier to use and is far more portable than this thing. Maybe say if youre always going to different places but sit at a single spot in the place for an extended period of time, maybe this will work, because setting it up and then packing it up is quite the task. It does come with 2 USB-C to USB-C (one end is 90-degree angled) cable, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and a 5V3A charger; this is for if youre connecting to a laptop over the USB-A cable, or if the USB-C port on the host laptop doesnt provide enough power for the 2 displays. Because this uses Instant View, it doesnt count towards a GPUs supported number of displays count. So say if youre connecting this to a M1 Macbook Air thats normally limited to a single display output, you can use this, and then still have that 1 display output for something else. This also means that for Macbooks with dGPUs, because the display output is over USB instead of DisplayPort, it doesnt activate the dGPU (which might have some power savings advantages despite having to run the Instant View drivers) The price of this is quite an issue. At the time of this review, its $600 with a $100 discount. A 16in 4k monitor can be had for around $200 to $250; you can get 2 of those for the price of this thing. Its not very easy to pack/unpack, its quite heavy, the size is awkward to carry around in a backpack (its very square). However by using Instant View, you can use this in macOS with a single cable. If I remember these dual-monitor laptop things are subject to some lawsuits on the original manufacturer that created the design, so to some extent I also doubt the legitimacy of this product. At the end of the day, it has its flaws, but it does work. Just keep in mind of your use case, a portable monitor is probably 99% of the time a superior solution and a better use for your money.
