Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great item. Clear picture and just one cable to connect. Love this!!

After less than two months, the screen is going black and showing 'No Signal.' I have to say the durability is very disappointing.

This monitor simply sucks! The screen quality is super poor and the engineering of how it attaches to the laptop is not convenient at all. For this price, it’s definitely not worth it.

Since covid changed my work routine significantly, I have been trying to improve my setup when I am working remotely. I generally use a 2 screen setup at my main office and split a large 27 inch screen in 2. My single computer there is better than the work one at the house. At my house I'd been using a 3 screen setup. Laptop main screen for the main program, video on another, and 3rd for email and net access. The problem being is my laptop plus a bulky second monitor and a second computer with monitor for the video feed. I loose a lot of desk space So I found this so I can and narrow my footprint on the desk and get rid of the second monitor with this. The computer I use is a 15 inch laptop, so this fits nicely on the back of it, I have it to the right of the main sreen, but it can go left also. I use the hdmi input on my old home work computer, but this does woth with usbc video input as well, which I have used on my personal laptops. This basically doubles my screen size and no further space on the desk itself. It's magnetically held to the back of the laptop. Colors on the screen are good, no flickering and no delay on moving things between screens. Recognition of the monitor was immediate. I did manage to set up a second set of magnets on the other laptop with metaillic pads I had from a batch of magnetic remote control holders bases, it holds on much loke the manufaturer metaloc pads. This only comes with one set of those pads for a laptop. NowI can flip between my home and work units. This unit's price is a bit higher than what you can buy a desk monitor for, but the value comes in the portability. It will drain a batter faster, but I keep my laptop's plugged in while working. I do not see any reason to deduct stars from this. A good product I do reccomend.

It’s been barely 1 month and my monitor stopped working.

Out of the box, this was really easily setup. I have a 16" laptop so it isn't a perfect fit like it woul dbe on a 14" laptop (the minimum size laptop to use the Mobile Pixels Duex Max). Overally, I wish it was a little brighter at maximum brightness but the convenience factor outweighs any concerns or preferences there. It was really easy to setup. It comes with magnets that have adhesive pads to stick to the back of your laptop. You use an included guide to mount them and even then the monitor slides further left and right on the magnets with ease - allowing you to position it exactly where you want it horizontal. It is fixed vertically though so you have to be careful how you position it. But if you do make a mistake, it comes with extra magnets in the box. It also comes with multiple USB cables so you can use it with pretty much any laptop. USB-C to USB-C works great on my Macbook Pro but I also see and HDMI port that I could use with my laptop as well. Overall, it's a great device - I just plugged it in and my computer automatically extended the screen to it and it works like any other external monitor, although much faster. I highly recommend this monitor.

This device resolves an issue that most people that primary use a laptop experience. Laptops provide a convenience over desktops but it is not always easy to connect to an additional monitor or docking station. Installation is very easy. There is an included guide that allows the adhesive backed magnets to be lined up precisely. The adhered very well to my primary gaming laptop. It adds very little bulk to the laptop and only a little extra weight. Connection is via a cable to the laptop HDMI port and power is provided a USB connection. An added benefit is that it has dongle that allows it to connect to a USB-A or USB-C port. This is huge benefit since most newer laptops have a limited number of connection ports. Once is centered and mounted on the laptop cover, you simply slide it open and pull it out to use. The angle can be adjusted and even swing 180 degrees to use in a presentation mode. The screen resolution is very good and effortlessly allows swapping screens. One thing to keep in mind is that the refresh rate is 60mhz so if your primary monitor has a higher refresh rate it will be limited to match the secondary screen. Quality build seems very good and connection is firm and sturdy.

If you're looking for portable display expansion, this is a great option. First, setup is straight forward and easy. I just glanced at the quick install instructions and was able to set it up very quickly. The magnetic mounting is very handy to be able to take off the screen when traveling or not in use. Remains to be seen if the magnets stay attached to the laptop but there are replacement adhesive buttons included. It very stable in that it does not have any play when open and does not weigh down the laptop. Getting it running is as simple as plugging into an HDMI port on the laptop as well as a standard USB. Make sure you have both available on the device you plan to use. There were no drivers or anything to install. Just go into Display settings on the laptop and have it extend displays and you have two displays. The screen is very good at 1080p and 60 hz. Colors are bright. I wasnt sure if this would be useful but now see myself using it quite a bit seeing how mobile it is. I would highly recommend this.

It is a good display, worth its price. Few things to consider before buying: it is pretty large and heavy so if your laptop screen opens very easy it will not handle it, as the weight will cause it to fall back. It is not designed to stand alone, if you want to put it next to the laptop not on it it will be gymnastics and folding mechanism tends to stuck pretty much every time you want to fold it.

I do some of my work on the road and have tried various attachment and standalone Mobile monitors over the last several years. This unit attaches to your laptop monitor back with four round magnets, which would stay on the back of your laptop built-in screen even when the unit is not in use. When I am not in a remote location, I prefer to remove the portable laptop monitor as it alters the weight of the built-in screen and puts at least some stress on the hinges of the laptop. Typically I am plugged into a docking station if at my main work location And my desktop monitors are fairly high-quality professional monitors. The image quality is fair to good but not better than you would get on a quite an expensive desktop monitor. I wish the vertical resolution was 1200. The brightness rating is 300 but the highest I was able to test was about 257. It is not uncommon for peak brightness to be somewhat high in uncalibrated panels. The monitor was able to calibrate with a less than 3% variance at certain color levels. If your laptop has a USB-C port, it must have display port function built-in to use the single cable (power and video signal). If you do not have a single cable and additional cable is included which connects to a laptop, HDMI, port, and a mini HDMI port on the side of the portable monitor. Has this configuration does not provide power you must use the Included USB a or USB-C cord to power the monitor. Some modern laptop screens have a curved back surface and even if slight this can distort attaching portable monitor holder. The magnetic circles on the back of your monitor connect to oval elongated plates on the frame of the portable monitor, and then the actual monitor slides out to the right or left. When removing the portable monitor, one of the oval metal contacts on the frame, detached from the frame itself. In my opinion, the build quality could be improved by having these metal plates, be integrated or somewhat attached to the plastic rather than merely glued to the frame. In my experience, it is much better to have a portable monitor that attaches to your frame as if you are in a small desk or airport or using your lap to hold your laptop. There’s also provide support for the portable monitor. The freestanding, portable monitors that do not attach to the actual laptop in a firm fashion can be quite awkward unless you have a large desk available to you.

I find multiple screens indispensable for productivity. The ability to read a document or website on one screen while editing content on another, or to keep content on one screen while using a second screen for videoconferencing, is a huge boost to my ability to get things done. For me, three screens are ideal, but two is a vast improvement over a single one. Of course, this is great when I’m home, but it has always been difficult when traveling. Enter the Mobile Pixels DUEX Max DS. The Mobile Pixels DUEX Max DS 14.1” monitor is a great, largely portable, screen for when you need a second screen on the go. Connectivity is simple, with a USB-C DVI-compatible port all you really need to get started. With its relatively light weight, it’s easy to slip into your bag and carry with you. The images are sharp and refresh rate is fast. With a wider screen format, it’s perfect for watching movies. The drawback is the way this screen mounts to your laptop. Rather than rely on clips to hold it in place, the DUEX uses magnets. These magnets are glued to the back of your laptop screen (they are removable) using sticky pads (included). It’s a relatively simple process, as the included template allows you to line up the magnets and place them properly on your laptop. The screen slides into a case, which has metal bars aligned with the magnet placement. It holds the DUEX in place firmly, but at a cost. These magnets are relatively thick, making your laptop suddenly much larger and less portable, even when you’re not traveling with the DUEX. When you are traveling with the DUEX, between the magnets and the case you should be prepared to more than double the thickness of your laptop. Still, I found a way to make the DUEX Max very useful without sacrificing the portability of my laptop, and as a result I have been traveling with it. I didn’t end up leaving it attached to my laptop, instead slipping the screen and case into my bag separately. The case can be used as a stand for the screen, either in horizontal mode (you’ll need a pen to level the screen) or vertical (great for viewing or editing documents). I’m using it as an additional screen in my office as well. Because it doesn’t have a stand, it takes up very little space, and I’ve found it fits nicely beneath and in front of my 32” monitor or vertically beside it. If you travel a lot and miss having a second screen, then this could work for you. But you need to think hard about whether it’s worth actually mounting it to your laptop, as this comes with the significant tradeoff of reduced portability.

This Mobile Pixels Duex Max DS monitor attachment is an excellent addition to your laptop as a second screen for gaming, work, design and many other things. It is well built and sturdy and looks great! Out of the box, which is nice and well designed, the monitor is easy to set up and add to your laptop. Having at least a 15" screen is what you will need for this setup. There is a template that is included that you lay on the lid of the screen with your laptop closed. And then using the double sided tape, attaching the magnets to the open holes in the template. The magnets do not effect the laptop screen. I was worried it would but its ok. After attaching the magnets to the laptop screen lid, you just simply attach the monitor panel to the screen. The whole panel is meant to slide on its magnet rails to tuck behind the laptop screen, and slide out to the side when getting ready to use the monitor. Then you simply grab the edge of the monitor and pull it out from the sleeve. It has a pretty good motion to it and is really secure. The monitor does not droop or sag when extended and can be angled in or out once fully extended. There are 2 cables included for a couple of options to hook up the display to your laptop. On mine I was able to use the thunderbolt usb port to get power and signal from the laptop. It turned on right away and automatically funtioned as an extended screen. You can go into the screen options on the laptop and change what the monitor does. One downside is that with the extra monitor attached, The laptop becomes super heavy. If you are going to take it anywhere, you can just take the panel off and carry it separate or leave it attached and it is still slim enough to fit in most laptop sleeves, it is just heavy. The monitor resolution is 1080p so the color and clarity is really clear and the motion rate is pretty decent. It really is a fantastic second screen. Overall it is well built, sturdy, easy to install and use, and functions well. I highly recommend this panel setup.

This 14.1" display is running at 1920x1080 resolution. The screen displays crystal clear images on par with my main display. The portable monitor is attached via magnets on the back of your standard laptop display. There is a template used for placement of the magnets. You can use the display on either side of your laptop or free standing in portrait or landscape. Landscape is not as stable as portrait, the base in portrait mode is long enough to keep the monitor balanced. The base attaches, as mentioned, via magnets to the back of your current display. It slides out in one direction but can be removed from the magnets and flipped so it will slide out the other side. The monitor will auto adjust/flip to the side it is on. You can also rotate the monitor around to face away from the main display if you are doing a presentation on it. Power is supplied via USB type C cable. Output can be over the USB type C cable or an included HDMI cable. I have tried this with a Chromebook. The Chromebook worked without issue over USB type C. There are directions to use this with a Nintendo Switch or a Android device, I did not attempt either of these configurations. The images were not very clear on eithers connection and setup. Included in the box are the USB Type C (seems to be proprietary?), an HDMI cable, magnets (one set), a alcohol wipe and additional adhesive strips for the magnets. After having this second monitor on my laptop, I wonder why laptop makers do not add this as an option to the standard build. I would not mind having a slightly thicker laptop if it included two monitors. It would be ideal if it could slide out either direction or up. Hoping future monitors will have a USB type C passthrough so you don't lose a port that are fewer and further between on the modern laptops. I highly recommend this monitor. The screen is top notch and the images are crisp. My son has started calling my laptop a transformer. I have a feeling one of these will be on his Christmas list.

If you are like me and like having a second screen when you are working at your computer then this is a must have accessory for you laptop. Setup consists of sticking four very strong magnets to your laptop screen lid. Then attaching the monitor cable to your computer (USB-C to HDMI inmy case). That's it. You now have a second, portable, screen for your laptop. First off, know this screen "feels" heavy on youn laptop lid. I'm using it with my 14 inch MacBook Pro which has a fairly strong and robust screen hinge but I could see this being an issue for less sturdy laptops. The screen is designed to slide out from its housing when attached to you laptop so when nit in use it's tucked out of your way. It does add some significant width to your machine that is impossible to notice. That being said it does detach easily enough from the attached magnets so if you are not you are not going to using for any length of time it can easily be removed restoring you computer to it's normal sleek appearence. If you are like me and work with several programs open at a time you already know how handy a second screen can be. The nice thing about this one is that it can easily travel with you on the road. Power or the display is provided via the USB-C to HDMI cable so nom extra cables to lug around with you. The display is only 1080P which isn't too bad in my opinion. Like I said earlier for me this is primarily a work display to have maybe a Word document on while us the primary dispklay for other things, Or maybe have a browser opened and running Sling to have the news on while workimg on the primary display. Colors are decent, not the kind of display to do color corretions for photos or videos. Over all this is worth the extra space in my backpack.

Anyone who has multi-monitor setup at home or at an office can extoll the benefits of displaying more content simultaneously which can provide better focus. But when you're out and about with a laptop, you end up missing the productivity boost of having a multi-monitor setup. I was very excited to get this Mobile Pixels DUEX Max DS monitor and set it up on my ASUS Tuf Dash laptop. The DUEX Max DS is a 14.1 inch monitor housed underneath a sliding cover. Also in the box, there is a USB-C to USB-C cable with an adapter on one end to convert to USB-A. There is an HDMI to mini-HDMI cable. Also included is an alcohol wipe, 4 strong magnets with double sided tape on the back and several more double sided tape rounds in case you need to re-apply for whatever reason. I followed the directions to use the included paper template, which made installation very easy. After using the alcohol wipe on my laptop lid, I installed the magnets in the proper places. I was a little worried about magnets and my computer, but a quick test and I didn't see any adverse effects on my system. The easiest way to connect the DUEX Max DS screen is through the included USB-C to USB-C cable. This will provide power and video connection. You really do need to use their included cable as a generic USB-C data cable will not be enough to provide the DisplayPort protocol. If your laptop does not provide the required DisplayPort protocol over USB-C, you still need the USB-C cable for power and utilize the HDMI to mini-HDMI cable to provide the video output. My preference was to set up the DUEX Max DS to slide out of the right hand side of my ASUS laptop, but unfortunately, the included cable just isn't long enough to stretch from the left side USB-C ports. If I could have redesigned this screen, I would have set up the ports on the opposite of the screen to keep the ports closer to the center of the laptop. In the end, I had to settle for the DUEX Max DS sliding out the left side of my laptop to easily reach the left hand side ports. I was a little concerned I would have to go into the settings of the DUEX Max DS monitor to flip the display, but there is a built in sensor that takes care of this seamlessly. The design is well thought out. The magnets hold onto the DUEX Max DS screen using the metal grooves on the cover of the screen. When the screen is centered upon installation, the grooves allow you to shift the entire setup to one side in order to clear your laptop monitor. The DUEX Max DS screen can also pivot on its hinge to give you a little more immersive angle to your monitors. The display is bright and vivid. There are 3 buttons on the back of the display, up, down and enter. Getting into the menu and navigating was pretty easy. I didn't need to change any display settings. The DUEX Max DS screen weighs just under 2 pounds. While it is stowed, it doesn't make my laptop too bulky. However, I'm not very pleased with the double sided adhesive on the back of the magnets. I think the problem is that the ASUS Tuf Dash lid texture does not give the double sided tape the ideal surface to adhere to. When I have the DUEX Max DS screen extended, a few minutes later and the adhesive failed. I replaced the tape on two of the magnets already and it still hasn't improved. I even tried with some nano-grip tape and it had trouble keeping the magnets attached to my monitor. This leads me to my second desired improvement, a built in stand when in landscape position. (Mobile Pixels does sell an origami stand, but a built in stand would be preferable.) My last complaint is about compatibility. On the box itself, the DUEX Max DS is compatible with macOS and Windows. The literature in the box also includes Android phones and Nintendo Switch. I quickly connected it to my phone, a Google Pixel 6A. I was surprised that the DUEX Max DS powered up. However, it did not display my phone screen. I've experienced Samsung DeX on a previous Samsung phone and after looking at the Mobile Pixels site, it does specify Samsung DeX. So I was disappointed with that. However, I also connected it to my Switch and again, no display. My experience with the Mobile Pixels DUEX Max DS Portable monitor has me quite disappointed. The display itself is great. But the attachment to my monitor is poor and the advertised compatibility did not prove true.

This works really well with my laptop I work remote and don’t always like to work from home but like having dual monitors
