    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!

    Solid pick and value for extra screen real estate

    Has a great picture and does everything I need it to do. Excellent brightness, light and portable. Makes doing coding projects significantly easier without having to switch back and forth between windows.
