Excellent portable monitor. Resolution exceeded my expectations. Nice that it doesn't require a separate power cable.

I’m always multitasking and have different work books and school lessons open. I decided to invest in this screen to help me make my life easier. I couldn’t be happier with it for the price the quality is good it’s light weight and comes with a protective pouch. This screen works with USB I didn’t have to use the CD but they provide one in case a driver is not found. The split USB lets you plug the screen to the power brick that way it doesn’t suck all the battery from your laptop.

I bought this with low expectations and it still disappointed. I had previously purchased a different external monitor for about twice the price, so I will be using that as a baseline.
Pros:
Very cheap. I was legitimately surprised at how cheap this thing was.
Easy to Use. The only thing this really does is plug in and turn on. I didn't see a power button or anything. it just has a stand that kicks out to one position, but you can place the monitor vertically or horizontally.
Cons:
Size: It is a thick, chunky monitor despite it's portability. It makes it a bit unrealistic to toss in a backpack that's already got a big laptop in it.
Build: This is a small one, as the point of a monitor is just to look at, but it just feels really cheap. Hard, glossy plastic back, thick bezels, no buttons, it just does not feel good.
Display Quality: This was the deal breaker for me. Although it is techincally an HD monitor, the poor viewing angles, uneven backlighting, and bad color balancing, this thing just looks like a 2010 android tablet.
It also comes with a CD to install drivers and see the user manual. Lastly, it appears to have been poorly translated in the instructions.
This will work if you desperately need a monitor with a USBA connection, but for me personally I'd rather have no monitor than this monitor.

This is a little more expensive that I wanted to pay it, however, after purchasing it and plugging it in I am very happy I did. It works wonderfully, very lightweight, and easy to transport back-and-forth to meetings. Would highly recommend to anybody who needs multiple monitors for laptop.

WARNING: Not true Plug and Play!

This may be a very small segment to people buying, but heads up just in case. You cannot simply plug this monitor into your computer and it works. It requires you to install a driver before it becomes “plug and play.” For most users, a simple driver install may not be a huge deal. However, I’m travelling for work and decided to give this a try on my work laptop. The problem is, my company’s computer policy does not allower users to install unapproved software onto their laptops. I was not able to get approval to install the driver, making this a very fancy paperweight. I don’t want to give a one star as this probably won’t be an issue for 95% of purchasers, but it is something to be aware of.

As a portable monitor with no frills, this does the job. The image quality is only good for word docs or basic usage. Once you try to use media like videos, photos and etc, the monitor really show its weakness. You have to look directly at the screen. When you look at the screen at an angle, there are blurs around the image and it does not appear focused. Overall as a portable monitor it really fits the bill. I can power the monitor with my laptop battery close to an hour with no power cable to the laptop. There is a newer model with HDMI at 1080p but that monitor requires a power cord which takes away from portability. Installation was difficult on a MAC but PC's is just plug and play.

Got this for work purposes. Needed to have an extra screen while traveling. It's light, cheap, and fits in the backpack with no issues. Doesn't require an extra power supply, so it fits all my requirements.

This product has been a lifesaver for working remote! I use it at home and it’s even small enough that I have brought it with my work laptop when traveling so I can have another screen.
I have tried to get it to work with my personal Mac laptop using cord converters but had no luck. But it works great on my work PC. I just plug it in and go! Didn’t need to download anything.

It is exactly what I needed. Easy to transport; folds up neatly and fits easily in case that comes with it. I can pack it with my laptop in a larger padded case without jeopardy to either the laptop or the monitor. Simple to connect; I just plug it into my laptop USB port. The quality of the picture suits my needs. Great value; you can't beat the price. I am very satisfied.

It took a little to configure for my daughter's Macbook Air, but she uses it on her small desk in college. It has been just right for her needs at school. When she has a Zoom for an online class, she just plugs this in to get two monitors off her little laptop. Not as nice as a full monitor, but portable, small, and just right for a little form desk. Easy to take down and put up, so it maximizes her space.

Works well for a secondary monitor on an as needed basis. No frills, nothing fancy, but an affordable side piece for something not needed daily.

I bought this monitor as something portable that I could use while I work from home and coffee shops and dealing with spreadsheets.
It does it's job as a external monitor, and is easy to use and is pretty plug and play.
There are 2 things to note:
1. It appears a bit dark in certain lighting and angles. I haven't found a way to adjust or brighten it.
2. Be sure to plug in your laptop power supply or you battery life will probably be cut in half.

I use this for work, not gaming, so graphics do not matter to me, and I cannot speak to them. It is very clear for my spreadsheets, email, etc. I am able to use it with single cable, which I love. It is unfortunate that it requires disk installation of drivers. The case could be a little more structured to protect the screen. Other than those 2 things, I like it. Love the stand. For the price, this is a great second screen.

Works great for being able to work from another location. I have used to work in coffee shops, from my back deck on spring/summer/fall days, hotel rooms white traveling, etc. For the price point and only using when I want to be somewhere else besides my normal desk, this is a great option,

As someone who typically has to work some while out of the office, my frustration was being limited to just my laptop screen. Found this bad boy and it was a game changer. Easy plug and play, however, plug in first while laptop is off then power up. Had to adjust settings, but then I was golden. Now if I need to go saddle up at a bar to watch some mid day sporting events, I can maintain productivity.

I am so thankful that I made this purchase. This portable monitor is excellent! The image is great. It is very light. I can use at my home office or take it outside on the deck if the day is nice. I don't miss having a big, heavy monitor that sits in one spot all the time. This is an excellent purchase. If you have a laptop, this is a must have item.
