> 3 dayThe screen is exactly what I expected it to be. Great image quality and easy to use. I am using it as a portable second monitor to help while working outside the office.

> 3 dayFull disclosure this is my second monitor from KYY as my first one broke. However, KYY was very generous in helping me resolve my issue and replace the damaged monitor. The monitor visuals are fantastic, and it is an extremely handy option to have as I primarily work remote and need a second monitor for when I am hot-desking around the company sites. Very useful, great picture, very convenient. Extremely useful for co-op video game nights as the monitor can be powered completely by an Xbox or similar, meaning a great small footprint in a couch gaming night. Very impressed by the KYY team in their customer service and product.

> 3 dayI 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.

> 3 dayI bought the monitor in September 2020 but it stopped working last summer, in less than two years. The screen blacked out and shows no signal. I tried a few times to revive it but with no success. I think the USB connector is fine. My laptop does see the monitor when connected and offers display choices, but the monitor screen stays black no matter what I do. I like the monitor a lot but I am hesitant to buy another one. In the meantime, I have an old apple monitor which is 8 years old and still performing perfectly.

> 3 dayI got this today and it was better than expected. Was super easy to set up, worked well and right away and really surprised me when I was able to basically use my phone as a laptop on it. I gave 4 stars for 1 reason only and it really doesnt deserve to lose a star because this isnt something I was particularly looking for when purchasing it but its not touch screen.. there thats it everything else is AMAZING! Hope it last a long time!!

> 3 day22yr+ Sr. System Administrator, and I needed something to be able to work in one screen while using another screen to reference notes or setup instructions...etc. This works great, and I can plug my laptop USB-C power in to one of the ports, then use the USB-C cord to link the screen to my laptop. This allows power to the screen and to my laptop!! Works great. The tri-pod magnetic stand is not my favorite, but it does what its supposed to and protects the screen in transport. I would like to find a hard case style that has a kick-stand in the back... but that would ad bulk to it. Ive used this screen about 10 times so far and Ive yet to find a flaw. The speakers are, well, no better than your iphone or android speakers, its nothing you will rely on for cranking out tunes. I tried it on a call using my laptop as the speaker phone and it was tough to hear at times. I would use the speakers on your laptop, and its better than no sound if youre using another type of device that doesnt have sound. Overall highly recommend this, and I got it for a great deal!

> 3 daySo I was sent a faulty monitor at first, it began blinking out after a month. I contacted KYY and they were so kind, a woman named Daisy helped me and sent me a replacement. I couldnt be happier with it so far. The monitor itself works excellently, it starts up as soon as you plug it in without any additional task, and I even compared it to an asus monitor first and am much happier with KYY. If this review is still here that means that the replacement monitor continued to work without any problems. I am satisfied with both the product and customer service.

> 3 dayThis is 200% better than the one I’m returning from big box store. No yellow glow on screen and crazy easy to set up. (1) Plug into power and (2) plug into source device. The stand/cover is awesome and can be adjusted to several angles. I’m traveling to visit a friend and need to get some 2-screen work done. This will do the trick!!!
