I have been carrying this monitor around for a year at college. I keep it in a thin protective sleeve (some sort of foam) along with books and notepads in my backpack. It looks just as good today as Id did out of the box. I appreciate the magnetic protector that doubles as a stand. A single USB C cable provides power and video (via thunderbolt 4). It works great for zoom, PowerPoint, Excel, etc... I can not speak to its gaming or content creation properties. I am a happy customer and recommend this monitor for the college student needing a second monitor.

I bought this because it was affordable and had good reviews. Is the screen just as good as your laptops? Of course not. Does it get the job done for reading and multitasking? Of course. I had some issues where the connection would be lost if I moved the cable, but I havent tried it with a different cable. Overall an excellent choice if you are on a budget and just need a second screen when youre out of the house.

Awesome monitor. Great for travel and working onsite at customer locations. Ended up breaking my screen though, where could I get a replacement display/screen without buying a whole new monitor?

The display backlight failed on my early 2013 Macbook Pro last week, during law school, and this seemed like a good temporary solution before I could get another computer. I ordered it Tuesday night and received it Thursday afternoon. My laptop only has an HDMI output, so I was glad this screen too that input, not just USB-C. I use this in front of the old display, held up by Velcro dots. Its pretty bright (although not quite so bright as the original screen in full sunlight), and extremely sharp. Did have to do some color calibration and tweaking of settings for optimal display, but thats expected. I also love that it can be powered by the USB port on my laptop. Only real downside (aside from clunkiness) with this setup is the USB power and laptops dedicated GPU mean reduced battery life, but its still cheaper than a new laptop. Also, I have to manually adjust the brightness based on my setting, but thats to be expected. As others have said, this monitor might not be the best for audiovisual work, and I cant speak as to gaming delay (although I notice no input lag in regular use), but for text-based work (in-class notes, and the occasional YouTube video) its more than adequate—actually a bit better than Id hoped for the price. That said, I have noticed only one issue with the monitor itself: At certain low brightness settings (around 1-5 out of 100), a weird quiet buzzing noise comes through the speakers, even when muted (I use the MacBooks built-in speakers, rather than this monitors). This usually goes away with an increase of a brightness point or two, but is a bit weird. Aside from that, a week later of daily portable in-class use, its working well for me.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I travel frequently to my moms to do her taxes and property management and on cruises ships as part of retirement life. I purchased this monitor to make it easier to do paperwork. In fact, I was returning from a cruise and had my backpack hanging on a hook in the restroom stall when the person in the adjacent stall opened and closed her door causing the footing to become loose resulting in a sudden movement of my door in which the backpack containing my portable monitor fell to the floor. Although the backpack was made for computers it still resulted in cracking the screen of my monitor making it unusable on the trip :) When I returned, I contacted customer service to see if they can replace the monitor screen, but they went even further, offering to replace my entire monitor. That is what I call customer service. As a result, I ordered another monitor from them for my husband to also do his work more easily. 6 stars!

This portable screen is great. The visual quality is amazing and love how quickly I can connect it with any of my devices.

I had been eyeing this model for a while, and found it greatly discounted on Prime Day (I subbed to Prime to just to get this deal). The packaging was very nice and protective. Also included were 3 cables, a power brick (similar in size to what youd have for a cellphone), the folding carry case/stand, and even a screen protector. You have to install the screen protector yourself, but it was nice to have it included. The monitor itself is very slim and easily fits into my laptop case. I dont even need to carry the power brick that came with it, because the screen powers on via my PCs USB-C port. Very convenient! The screen is as vibrant as my newer Dell laptops screen (Inspiron). I ran a few dead or stuck pixel tests found on YouTube and it passed with no problems. The controls include a multifunction rocker and button switch which makes it easy to make screen adjustments, such as brightness. The on-board speakers are decent, but not as good as those in my 17 laptop. If you have a very compact laptop, the speakers in the KYY may actually be better. The included headphone jack is appreciated, although most laptops still have such a jack. If you have a newer Samsung phone this will be important to know. Im not a big gamer, but I tries just a little FPS gaming to check the response rate and to see if there was any ghosting. It looked very good. My main use is for productivity. Just having another screen to open up a web browser or office document does wonders for getting work done. You cant connect a full-size HDMI connector, Thats the only downside, but thats understandable due to the frames thinness. Just use the included HDM-to mini-HDMI cable. I will update this review if needed in the future, and I hope that I wont need to use the 12 month warranty. So far, this has been a great purchase for my needs. UPDATED October 7, 2021 After several months of usage and frustration due to one major flaw, I decided to return and provide an update to my initial review. I bought this unit to take with me on the road, which means that Im setting it up and packing it in my computer case quite often. I think thats a normal use-case for something called a Portable Monitor. I find that the screen is fairly dim, but thats not the source of my frustration, because turning up the brightness usually makes it useable. The problem is that every time you remove power (like each time youre packing up), the monitor loses all of its settings. This means you have to tweak the settings (like the brightness) each and every time you set it up. A monitor that is marketed as Portable should retain all of its settings upon removal from the power source. Disappointing! NOVEMBER 6, 2021 UPDATE============================ KYY customer service reached out to me and is truly top notch! Thank you KYY. If you want to be sure to get a unit that remembers your settings upon power-down, check out KYY model K3-1.

Lovely monitor. Unfortunately I’ve only had mine for 16 days and now screen just color cycles through red, blue and green. When it was working, it was more than enough to get the job done! Oh well. UPDATED: After speaking with the company, it seemed the first one I received was experiencing a defect. The replacement one however, works as I had hoped. No issues to report and seems to be functioning well. Very quick response time when booting up/detecting the input. HDR is decent and functions well as well. Have used with both MacOS and Windows. Great addition to the setup.

I am greatly impressed by KYYs commitment to customer service. My experience with the original monitors power-up issue occurred just after the 1 year warranty had expired, so I had not contacted KYY directly about a replacement. Upon seeing my review they reached out, and once it was clear that the monitor was having problems receiving power (NOT a cable issue), they offered to send me a new monitor! It came so quickly that I was not back yet from a vacation, so I was only able today to plug in the new monitor and it was a seamless plug and play. I love my HP Spectre laptop, but it is a more compact size, and when I work in my outside office in the summer I really need the extra screen real estate that the KYY monitor provides. Since the HP Spectre has thunder ports (Type C - full function ports) I am able to use that quickest and easiest method to both power and send signal to the KYY external monitor. I have attached pictures showing the KYY Type C full function port with connector (provided by KYY) and a picture of that cable plugged into my computer. As soon as the connection was complete the KYY logo came up and then immediately my main computer screen was mirrored. My final picture shows both simultaneously with the KYY Monitor as a second screen. Based on the customer service follow-up I would definitely recommend this monitor, and the company that makes it. ------------------------------------- First Review: This was my first (and perhaps only!) portable monitor Ive ever purchased and I was pleased by the plug-and-play set up and picture quality. After a few months however the HDMI connector into the monitor, which was a common USB socket, became loose and it was difficult to keep the connection. Any slight motion that moved the cord and the connection was lost. But later that year I bought a new computer with a thunder-port and this summer when I needed the external monitor I plugged it in that way and everything worked great! Unfortunately the next day when I plugged my computer in the exact same way the monitor was not showing the signal, and instead gave me a power saving error message before it shut down. After extensive troubleshooting and referencing the manual and user questions on Amazon I concluded that it was a power issue - the monitor was not getting power through the thunderport. I tried various methods, from using the separate power cable plugged into my computer, to plugging into an outlet directly. When nothing worked, I used the tech support email listed in the manual (and here on Amazon) [email protected], and send a description of my problem, asking for any assistance they could offer on a solution. Over two weeks later and I havent received any response. Not even a were busy and will get back to you later automatic email. So. Anybody want a nice looking doorstop in the original packaging? selling it cheap.

This just arrived and I immediately tested my Nintendo Switch in dock mode. Works fine. Then I moved on to my Xbox series S. Works fine, 1080p. No issues with screen resolution. Case is nice and is functional. Removed one star because the speakers are quiet.
