> 24 hourGreat product—great size for travel and relatively good picture. Given the cost, it’s really good overall. It’s nice that it comes with multiple wire options as well for plugging into your laptop or other device. The only issues I have is that there’s no volume control or way to adjust the brightness on the screen that I can find. Additionally, the magnets on the case are pretty weak.

> 24 hourI have been using this for past 3 months and I am very pleased with this monitor. I used it for work to work from my laptop remotely, used it with our church streaming equipment connected to Atem Mini Video switch to monitor all video inputs as a quick temporary setup, and as a permanent install as a 4th display at my job. I think its very versatile and easy to use. Only thing I would suggest improving is the magnet on the cover to make it hold stronger, other than that i love this thing. Wish I would have bought it sooner, but for the price point of this unknown brand, i would not hesitate to buy it instead of one of the big name brands. I hope it lasts though, but for past 3 months its been very solid and not a single glitch.

> 24 hourI bought this for my wife to use when she goes to her WeWork office. Setup is super easy and it comes with everything needed to connect it. As long as your laptop has a thunderbolt connector, you do NOT need to use the included AC adapter. Picture, size, and screen quality are all great for work related tasks. The included cover and light weight make transporting it easy...she can just drop it in her laptop bag along with her other stuff to go from home to office.

> 24 hourThis is a wonderful add on to when i need to work while traveling, or an extra monitor for working from home. The only two things that i dont love is that the screen doesnt pick up colors like my mac does (2021 macbook pro), so everything is a little duller. Still bright, and readable, but its not quite as crisp and clean as the mac. The second thing that i dont love is that the case that also doubles as the screen stand isnt very secure and takes up more space that i want. Its your average ipad-like case/stand, but because the screen is already bigger than your average tablet, the case/stand takes up more room than needed. I wish it came with a kickstand like other portable monitors, but these are the only things i can really complain about. Great price for what it is.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourI bought it mainly to use with the steam deck and act as a double monitor for my laptop when needed. Works great for both!

> 24 hourI just needed something portable with good picture quality to do my design work away from home. Im not a gamer, but this works perfect for what I need. I had another portable monitor for a couple years and it gave me problems from day one, but so far this one is just up and running right away and working great.

> 24 hourI carry this monitor in my laptop bag and barely know that its there except when I need it. No power cable necessary when plugging the Type C cable into my laptop. Picture quality is sufficient for general office work as an architect.
