I bought this to replace a LePow portable monitor purchased two years ago which finally became too undependable. This one was around the same price, so I expected the quality and lifespan to be comparable. PRO: - Skinny, and easily portable -- I have not used it for travel, so do not know how it holds up when jostled, but the slim design is at least convenient if one is inclined to try. CONS: - Ridiculously short cords -- Im using this as a third monitor to extend displays, and need it to sit in the far right position with my laptop in the middle. This cord scarcely reaches from the right side of this monitor to the left-side port on my laptop. The stretch is so tight the slightest shift of the laptop will pull on this monitor and send it toppling over. And forget plugging it in, unless your outlet is located at desk-level on the wall behind the monitor. - Poor screen quality - Its not overly bright, but I can deal with that. What I cant deal with is that the text in Excel looks fragile and undefined. The picture is not clear and crisp at ALL, even after adjusting the display settings. (This is surprising, as the similarly priced LePow had problems, but screen quality wasnt one.) The screen quality might improve when the monitor is plugged into an outlet, but I will never know, because the cord isnt long enough to reach the outlet-access in my desk, much less the surge protector beneath. Overall, this will do in moments of desperation, but otherwise its infuriatingly impractical. Ive had it 8 days and am already back here at Amazon looking for something else--because this just isnt going to work.

Much better than ASUS monitor. Has speakers

Set this up for a test run to try it out before I travelled and it worked great. Just had to make an easy adjustment in my monitor settings to not have the laptop and this screen mirror each other. If I can do that, anyone can! They send you a follow-up email after you receive the product that has links to YouTube videos and I found those extremely helpful. I had a warranty question and they replied very quickly. Try it out. Worst case is it doesn’t work and you can send it back within thirty days. You’ll Most likely keep it!

Needed a compact second monitor for travel and this is great. Screen/image quality is very good and cords are just long enough to set up on either side of my laptop.

Im using this monitor for a home security system. The picture quality is great. Its basically plug it up, connect your device and turn it on. Super easy. There is a nice cover, but it does come off. You can get a bracket to attach it to the wall, but I have it sitting on the counter in my kitchen and it has no where to go. There are little feet on the bottom to help keep it from slipping, and with a slight tilt, it is stable. I got an extra cable because I needed a longer length, but there is a smaller micro hdmi cable included for hook up. Customer service replied very quickly to a question I had about the warranty and also extended it for me. Great purchase over all, I would definitely recommend it!

Pretty good monitor when you need one on the go. My laptop wont power it but it comes with a power brick and it also works off a small battery bank. If you must power it off your laptop I would make sure it has the power output to do it via USB.

Powered-up and connected immediately right out of the box for my Microsoft Surface Laptop. Just need to give the unit power and USB-C data connections via the provided cables and power adapter. The image looks great and bright. Using the provided cover as a stand took me a bit to get used to and it works okay. Great for my application. Given the price point, I may buy another one as a spare.

Ive loved using the monitor so far and its been a great thing to have as a hybrid worker and when I travel. The only thing stopping me from giving this 5 stars is the short power cord. Its frustratingly short which can create some issues. Outside of the short power cord, Ive loved this purchase.

It’s exactly what I needed when I traveled!

Update from earlier review: I will stay with the 5 stars. Why? Because at the end of the day, an already good or great product is only as good as its support. The support is superb! I had an issue with the monitor, which was to no fault of the product, but my own fault as I used an inappropriate power adaptor. The problem was immediately identified, and the manufacturer solved it and helped me out. Great company. This is what I wrote when receiving the product: Easy set up. Great quality and it came with a super case of good quality. I use it with a mini desktop and it is in keeping with the need for space saving. Dont think I will be going back to the lap top.
