They are easy to use—just plug and play. They work with multiple devices, including my laptop for work, my Surface Pro, and my Samsung phone. I have had to replace the sticky part for the magnets multiple times.

An actual lifesaver. Would not have survived WFH

I am newly work-from-home and so I went into it not realizing how badly I needed another monitor. Well, not so much another monitor, but I needed another monitor that I could move around easily because of my office/bedroom/kids playroom/office environment.
Ever since getting these monitors I have been able to DESTROY multitasking! Having three monitors all in the same spot has been a game-changer. I literally cannot work without these things. The best part is I can choose to just take one monitor with me to places like airports, vacations, downstairs for a quick meeting, etc.
There is a learning curve for getting used to these. For instance, they do not slide incredibly easily and need to pivot at just the right spot to work well. But once you figure it out and break it in they glide with no issue.
One tip that helped me - raise your computer so that you are looking straight at the monitors to reduce strain and migraines. After I raised it 12' I was able to work for longer periods of time and having way fewer headaches.
Customer service from the manufacturer has been top-notch with any issues/questions I have had! Very responsive

This is an amazing item. It makes life so much better when I am out of the office. The only problem I have encountered is seeing the inside edge of my screens. because of the design, they don't extend out enough to allow you to see the inside edge. see see the edge I have to manually adjust my tab on the screen so it is not blocked by the main screen.

Being able to have 3 monitors while traveling is a game changer. The monitors are super easy to set up and use immediately after opening.

Clunky..Two independent screens you have to brace together, which has to be adjusted to view the complete screen as they overlap. You have to permanently stick these ugly magnets to your laptop for it to work..so if you bought a shiny new laptop for aesthetic reasons, forget about it. Like turning your new Mercedes into a mod car.

Magnet only keeps one screen in place. The other is loose. Good thought. Needs better execution.

They have helped out a lot. I can’t work off one screen any more. The one con is the magnets are not a good ideal. When my computer warmed up the fell off my laptop.

This comes as 2 separate screens with no real instructions on how to make them dual. They are TINY! Took them back because it was NOT worth the money.

These monitors are great. The only thing I found hard to use those tapes to hold the monitors to the laptop because as soon those are attached to the laptop, it is hard to remove them.

I mean build quality wasn’t bad. But the magnets shut my screen off a few different ways and times I tried to make it work. Didn’t even have a chance to use both monitors

The magnets that come with the Monitor are very bad, they wouldn’t stick onto my computer which made working hard since I would need to stop what I was doing to fix and readjust the magnets.
