Makes me much more productive

Pretty happy with this monitor. I really wanted to be able to work with my laptop sitting in my lap, but this monitor is clearly not made for that. I don't think they do a good enough job in their marketing explaining that. It is VERY clear in their setup instructions. My solution to that was a lap desk so the monitor has a hard surface to set on. The magnets aren't strong enough (or designed) to hold the monitor on by themselves. As it turned out my ASUS laptop had just enough of a ledge behind the screen it allowed the pixels monitor a place to rest. So I don't really need the lap desk, but I like the setup so much that I'm keeping it anyway. I hope the next iteration of this monitor includes a little better wire management. It would be nice if the design includes a small channel to tuck the wires into. In my case specifically I will never be able to add the third monitor--but that's because of the design of my laptop. The ledge on the back is filled up by one so a second one would be too thick. Maybe someday they'll come up with a design where the base fits over the existing screen.Messy cables aside, this is a great little monitor and a fantastic productivity booster. I have owned other portable monitors but the setup for this one makes it far more useful than the standalone monitors. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Wish they connected without magnets by an attachment. But they get the job done! Good image quality.

Good image quality and mobile. I wish that they didn�t connect via magnets to the iPad. Maybe a solid frame that goes around the iPad. Like the hypothetical Slidenjoy product. Overall good product!
I bought two of this and for less than a year, the slide clip broke. It's plastic and the screw fell apart. The slide cover just ripped apart and the screw isn't connected anymore anymore to the panel. I'm hoping they can replace it. See picture.
A great product, absolutely perfect for my remote working needs

I work off a triple monitor setup at home and have to say I have became almost fully dependant on my three monitors. Doing my job from a single monitor is painstaking and extremely inefficient and as someone who frequently travels and stays in hotels I find myself really demotivated towards work when I am travelling and when I do work I find my self extremely unproductive. I purchased a portable gaming monitor before but because it has a separate stand and sits at a different angle from my laptop screen I have never really managed to become productive with it.When I seen this I knew is was the solution. I bought one trio display to try it out and I have to save I'm hugely impressed. The monitor could be thinner in all honesty and the frame is a little plasticky, but in terms of functionality and multi-tasking it's fantastic. The unit fits onto my MacBook with the magnets no problem, the magnets are very strong and hold it in place without issue, the screen is easy to pull out and stow away and the quality of the image is good too.It took me a while to realised I could charge the macbook and monitor by connecting the power cable into the side of the trio monitor, at first I thought I could only run it off battery, when I found out this I was relieved as I sometimes work for 10 hours straight and my battery only lasts a few hours.I'm not sure this unit is for everyone and it is expensive, however for someone like me who is dependant on a triple monitor setup for productivity, this is an excellent purchase that's worth every penny. Buying a second trio soon to get the triple display.
For the price of this printable screen add-on, save your money! Overpriced! It lags when you are typing over in that portion of the screen. I noticed that the color isn�t as clear and it displays more of a fuzzy image. Additionally, it slows my computer down. If time had not run out on returning this screen, I certainly would have.
Built well but slow response to clicking and scrolling

The concept of this product is amazing and the physical components are structurally strong and work extremely well. The device is compact and easy to manipulate around. However, I do have a bit of an older Mac book pro and had some difficulty connecting to the device. After I was able to connect, the monitor was very slow and delayed. It would be several seconds behind when I clicked or scrolled on something. Perhaps with a faster computer this wouldn’t be an issue but I decided to return my product as a result of this.
Purchased for sharing a presentation in "Presentation Mode" and the upper hinge stuck and started to lift the bezel from the display panel. Didn't plan on attaching it to my ThinkPad so it can be used in its present orientation, but have put it in a protective case. This was a "re-conditioned" model so stuck with it. For the same price I could have purchased new just a panel. Seems like a good concept, but its awkward operational design should give one pause. YMMV
The case is fine for a single monitor but 2 screens is a pain... The rear screen mounting option (for the second or (third) screen) is seriously flawed. To spend 600 on two screens you expect a better mounting hardware for the rear screen. The flimsy plastic allows the rear screen to tilt badly.
