    Great purchase, the monitor is clear and small enough to fit on my already cluttered desk. Wonderful value for the price as well!

    Great display. Plugged right into my MacBook Air and came on. Powered via the USB-C port so no power cables. Resolution was great for what I want it to do. The price was reasonable. Great purchase.

    The price for what you get with this product is beyond anything other competition. Its lacking touch functions but makes up for it with material and ease of use. This secoond display is as easy to use as pluggjng it in and getting to work.

    This came in handy for my travel for work. It shows great, connects easily, bc I could not do what I need with just my laptop monitor. Great purchase and coworkers loved it. It works with your phone to stream shows but it drains your phone battery. My purpose was for work and it did the job ;-)

    This monitor was a life saver!!! I work 100% from home and travelled to see my grandsons but had to work while there. This monitor allowed me to seamlessly work while travelling! So worth the cost and so very happy I bought it.

    This is an excellent work portable monitor. Works perfectly with Mac laptop and is very durable. I’ve been using this for about 4 months at work and I just dump it in my backpack at the end of the day. As of today, it has zero scratches and cracks; hence, the durability comment. Only downside is that it uses a lot of power from my laptop. By lunch time my laptop is at 50%, which forces me to charge my laptop while I am out to lunch. This is a perfect product if you are a manager/supervisor/assistant principal that is very mobile and used to working from a portable desk.

    This portable monitor exceeded my expectations. The screen is sharp, colors look great, and it’s incredibly easy to use right out of the box. I love that it works seamlessly over USB-C, making it perfect for travel or a dual-screen setup on the go. Lightweight, solid build quality, and no fuss with setup. Honestly, if I could give it 10 stars, I would. Highly recommend.

    Perfect for remote work on the go, monitor works well and does not take up to much space. I WFH on a small table where a normal sized monitor would be too big, this was perfect solution to enable me to use second screen.

    Bought this in a pinch while traveling and working remotely when my old one that I purchased from YouKnowWhere died one month after the warranty ended. This monitor is already way higher quality. Fingers crossed it lasts longer than the cheapie one, since I only use it when traveling.
