Should have placed the magnets higher than it suggests
on February 15, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
if your laptop has a plug that inserts into the back of it, then I suggest placing the magnets a little higher on your lid than the instructions dictate. The reason is that when my laptop is plugged in, the cord pushes that side of the monitor up where the other side stays down creating a slant in the monitor. That's okay except that when it's open, it makes the monitor tend to pull down even more and feel like it's about to come off. If I were sitting at a desk full time, I could probably hook up the little kickstand and that may make a difference but, I am usually sitting on my couch and there's nowhere for the kickstand to rest.

A portable workstation finally

�As an avid laptop user, i always find that i could do with an extra screen, however with a laptop the only way i knew of doing this was to have a setup at home on my desk with cables everywhere and a hub to share the image across one or more extra screens, most of the time this means that the extra monitors are oversized and you don't use your laptop monitor...such an annoying mess around and a waste.This setup however suits me down to a T, i now have an extra monitor that is attached to my laptop that i can use if and when i want to, If i need a quick job done, i open the laptop as normal, if i need a larger project that would be better on multiple screens, i pop the second monitor open and i'm away. The ability to just switch between one and the other is amazing.I do have to point out, you'll need to buy another one if you want the 3 screen setup as i think i'll be doing that soon myself hopefully. Although 2 screens is still a massive improvement.Usability wise, the setup is reasonably straight forward, you get a bundle of magnets so it can be installed on multiple laptops, these magnets fix to the back of your laptop screen and allows the mechanism to sit securely in place, yes this thickens the laptop, but it's a worthwhile trade off. There's also a clip included, this is for when i get my third screen...coming soon... It also has the cables you need to connect them up, although i may try and get a shorter version specifically for my laptop to try and tidy it up a little bit moreAll in however, it's a nice stylish setup that gives me more visibility when out and about without the hassle of a full desk setup.

Great second monitor

Really like the Mobile Pixels Trio Max Portable Monitor. Easy to set up and use. Only thing I was real please with is the magnets to to hold it to back of laptop. They work but in my opinion could be a little stronger to hold it in place.

Improved my efficiency

I've been working from home since March and use lots of different screens at once. This has helped so much in having two screens at home. I wish it was as large as my laptop screen but still works great for what I need. This item is great and I have no complaints about it except for the magnetic connection to the laptop. The magnets they give you aren't the same shape as the ones on the screen and they aren't strong. I've used all the ones that they gave me and every time I need to slide the screen in and out the entire thing moves along the back of the laptop. it also slides off easily so if I pick up the laptop I have to hold onto the screen pretty tightly.

Set up and tear down in seconds!

It's obvious that the Mobile Pixel Trio is a well-constructed, and thoughtfully designed product. I was up and running within 3 minutes of opening the box. Simple, intuitive set up with one-cable connection, and a sleek look that doesn't add any significant bulk. I am constantly on the move at work, so the ability to quickly pack up and re-establish at a different location is key. 5 seconds of setup/teardown for a 2nd screen is incredible. Kudos to the team at Mobile Pixel!One quick note on size: the Trio reaches side to side and top to bottom on my 14" Levono. Although the product is described as being for 12-14" screens, I don't think I would like it as much if it were larger than my laptop. Any users with screens smaller than 14" may want to consider a smaller model.(Full disclosure: I was compensated for this review, but I would've given 5-stars even without the compensation)

It keeps freezing.

I don't know if it's the driver you have to install or the connection, but it keeps freezing and flickering.

Excellent quality, elegant, simple to set up, ergonomic, and great for productivity on the go.Still figuring out if Trio can also be the 4th display to my existing 2 desk monitors (via dock), looking forward to customer service reply (fingers crossed).

Wish I known IOS not supported

Monitor would not rotate correctly. Mobile Pixels uses third-party APP, “DisplayLink”. DisplayLink bulletin reads, doesn’t support IOS currently. I don’t want upside-down monitors. Returning the Trio,
