    Awesome portable monitor!

    This is my first portable monitor and needed one for traveling. This was packaged so well that even the box is sealed and well cushioned with foam padding. It's so simple to setup and I love how I can just use one USB-C cable to connect it. It looks and feels like a premium monitor and the minimalist design is just perfect. The display is awesome and it can get very bright. 5 stars!

    The monitor is lightweight and slim, so it slips easily into my laptop bag, and the USB-C connectivity makes setup super simple. For the price, the Full HD screen looks sharp and clear, and it’s perfect for everyday tasks like coding, browsing, or watching tutorials.

    Good monitor for the price

    Overall I like this monitor. I purchased it as a secondary monitor when I travel and it hasn't disappointed. I am not playing games, but rather watching movies and doing spreadsheets / web surfing. The speaker is not very loud, but it nice that it has one. I have not noticed any lag. The only thing that took me a few minutes to figure out is the cover. I understand why they did it this way, but it will take some getting used to. I would purchase again!

    Portable Monitor

    Amazing little monitor, the only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the cables they send with it are very short. Other than that its a great portable monitor with HDR to be honest.
