Nice Extra Monitor for my laptop

The Dues Max Ds monitor is great for those who need an additional monitor for laptops.
The unit snaps on to the back of your laptop lid via adhesive magnets. Then when needed you can slide the unit out and plug the monitor in. The monitor can be detached and using the kickstand can be utilized in portrait mode. This is great for those who intend on using the extra monitor at a desk, or workstation. For me I usually take my laptop to different rooms and have to remember to shut the lid before moving as this Dues adds more weight to the lid and may make it swing wide open. The Dues will not fall off, the magnets are strong and outward facing, so no magnetic interference to your laptop (so far).
I have found that in my situation, the best solution is to leave it at my workstation or desk and should the need arise for another monitor I can just hook it up either landscape or portrait with the kick stand.
The slide out/kickstand is plastic and feels like it could snap if stressed.
I was able to match the same resolution with my laptop, move pages back and forth, mirror and separate the screens very easily. The monitor to me seemed a little dark even after adjusting the level to 100% but not a deal breaker.
I was able to cast my phone (Galaxy S22) to the Dues with no issue. I was pleased with the results. The phone when hooked up acted as a touch pad.
I feel the Dues has great potential. I wish the frame was aluminum or more sturdy. I feel with extended use the frame may become more apt to breakage.
If you plan to use this at a desk or workstation and need the additional monitor this unit is right for you.
But if you are mobile and on the move constantly I’m not sure I would use this until frame is strengthened.

It was very easy to set up and is very convenient. I find the portable monitor stands inconvenient because you need to find more table space and they are often not easy to fold to get to stand correctly but this is much easier. The draw backs are that it's heavier than other monitors and if you're using on your lap (vs a table) it leans quite a bit to that side. The far left portion of the screen is also cut off. It won't extend far enough out to see that edge so I can't view "full screen" on that size. I have to just resize so it doesn't extend all the way left.

I have been in the market for a portable extra monitor for my laptop for months and couldn’t wrap my mind around having to tote around a separate device I would have to prop up when I needed more screen. That’s when I came across the new Mobile Pixels DUEX MAX DS 14.1-inch portable laptop monitor. This thing is more packed with features than any other portable screen I had been looking at to fulfill my needs. Perhaps the best innovation is the magnetic feature that attaches the monitor to the back side of my laptop’s monitor making it portably convenient. Once attached, you simply plug it into a USB-C or HDMI output from your laptop, slide the screen out to the side to open it when needed and slide closed when not in use. Being that it’s magnetic, you are able to remove it completely and have the option to stand it up separately in kickstand mode either in landscape or portrait mode which makes it much easier to view full documents as a side screen which is a must have in my line of work. I also love the magnetic feature because I can move it to my other laptop if needed and it comes with additional sticky pads for the magnets in the event you need to switch/upgrade laptops. The screen, although small in comparison to most computer/laptop screens, is still very brilliant and clear. Overall, I couldn’t ask for more from the monitor for what I was looking for and this one fulfilled all my needs and then some and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a portable monitor.
Perfect addition to add more screen to your laptop

The Mobile Pixels - DUEX Max DS 14.1" IPS LCD Monitor - Black, helped me take my favorite laptop up to another level! I really liked the smaller form factor of my 15" laptop, but found myself using one of my larger heavier laptops more often because I liked the bigger screen. Now I don't have to! The Mobile Pixels - DUEX Max DS 14.1" IPS LCD Monitor - Black took less than 10 minutes to install it and have it up and running on my laptop. There are 4 little removable adhesive magnets that stick to the back of the laptop screen. Using the included template and following along with the simple instructions I had the magnets installed in no time. After the magnets install, the screen clips right to the back of the screen nice and tidy. The whole set up still fits into my laptop bag protection slot with no problems. To use I simply have to open the laptop screen, slide the Mobile Pixels - DUEX Max DS 14.1" IPS LCD Monitor - Black off to the side, and plug in the included data usb cable to my laptops display port usb C connection. Once connected the screen powered on and a simple set up in windows to extend my screen, and finally I can have the screen real estate that I've been wishing for! Overall it's easy to install, has a great picture, works perfectly, and does what I was hoping it would do. Easily recommended 5 out of 5 stars all day!

This portable monitor is awesome! I work from home some days and am usually at my desk with a dock and monitors. However I love taking my laptop to my patio and even on vacation to work remotely. I already have an Asus Portable monitor that has to be packed separately and used with a stand. This monitor Mounts to your laptop lid and changes the game!
All you have to do is install 3 magnets using the provided template. Be sure to check that it will sit to your liking. Then you snap on the monitor, that's it. You open the lid and then slide out the monitor and angle it slightly. It's pretty seamless. You then connect the monitor with either a USB C to USB C cable or a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, all of which are included. If your computer is not capable of video output via USB, then you will have to use the HDMI cable plus the USB cable for power to the monitor.
Once it is up and running, it is plug and play. The resolution is very good with no complaints at all. Your computer will recognize it like a normal monitor and it will behave as such. I even connected my asus usb monitor and they both worked.
From this point forward, i have an awesome portable setup when working remote and on the go. I highly recommend this monitor and is a must have if you travel and take your laptop.

I did some research on Mobile Pixels and they are original designers of the portable monitors that attach to the laptop. I saw a bunch of knockoff brands but I didn't trust them and this product look like the highest quality with a warranty. So pulled the trigger on getting this model since it was the largest size screen you can get at 14.1" . I first got the another side by side portable LCD but I didn't like that I need equal desk space to place a stand alone portable LCD. I needed something that can be easy to use and quick to setup. The Duex Max DS fits the bill perfectly when I'm out traveling. I just keep it attached to my laptop slide out the screen when I setup my computer. At work the slide out screen also acts as a 4th screen for my desktop setup. I think the screen quality is perfect for my needs and the one cable solution using USB Type C is perfect. When I use excel it makes copy/pasting data is very convenient instead of hitting ALT + Tab to swithc screens. I give this 5 stars because it has uses in and outside of the office.

The DUEX Max has been an excellent addition to my work setup. The 14.1" IPS display is crisp, bright, and perfect for multitasking, whether I’m coding, reviewing documents, or working on presentations. The sliding magnetic design is very smooth and makes it feel like a natural extension of my laptop.
Setup was extremely easy — it connected instantly and required almost no configuration. The build quality feels premium, and despite being portable, it is sturdy and reliable during travel. I especially like how slim it is when closed, and it doesn’t noticeably add bulk to my laptop bag.
For anyone who works on the go or wants a cleaner dual-screen experience without carrying a full monitor, this is one of the best options available. Highly recommended.

I never write reviews like these, but I've been so impressed with this product. Traveling for work a lot and this has been a life saver. Easy to use, quick, simple, light weight, and with a very clear screen. This is worth the investment!
