Great Productivity Tool

Since Covid I have been working alot at home and I didn't want to have to keep bringing my monitors back and forth from the office to the house. This product saved me! It is so useful and I love that I can sit on the couch and still be able to use two screens for work! Its a great tool for you if you need a second monitor but only have a laptop
Adding a second screen really boosted my productivity! Installation was easy and it worked on my Mac without needing to install drivers using a USB-C port. (Note: if you don't use USB-C on a Mac, then you must install drivers for this.)
I'm constantly moving in my job. Each day I can be at the office, at home, or in my car working. I didn't want a big set up at my house for work, but it's so conveniet to work on multiple screens. This portable monitor is perfect for me because I can have a second screen with me whenever I need it. It works just the way it is advertised. It fits perfectly in my laptop bag. It makes work on-the-go that much easier.
Fantastic once you've figured out how to install it

I found the instructions rather confusing... they supply 12 magnets, however, you only need 4 to install, which really threw me. They also supply a clip, with no mention of it in the instructions. I had to watch a Youtube video of someone else to see how to install.... turns out it's easy when you know how. The extra magnets are for other laptops, if you wish to share the screen and the clip is for the trio screen.Once installed, this is a fantastic product. The screen is great for spreadsheet work. Not sure it would be good for a film or detailed graphics work though. However, it does what I need it to, so I'm very pleased.
Works well, quality screen, but a bit overpriced for the case quality.

The good: Works great and it’s fairly bright. The 12” model doesn’t seem to drain batteries of larger laptops that much.The bad: The build quality of the case on the other hand is marginal at best.How to correct issues: You might find the screen resetting itself constantly. If this happens, try switching USB ports on the screen side (mine was labeled opposite of what it should have been), check that you’re plugged into a powered port or make sure the drivers are installed or manually install them, then restart the computer and login. It doesn’t initially display anything in the login screen but works well thereafter, at least in Windows. Other OS’s may be different.What makes it a good deal anyways: Nothing else like it seems to exist for the money. I will buy it again if the case quality is made better.
I bought this a few months ago because I travel a lot. I waited to review it until I had used it for a few months to make sure it didn't act up after I posted a postive review. But, nope! All good!When I travel and I'm only working off of my 1 laptop screen my productivity plummets because I always work off of multiple spreadsheets on multiple monitors. I've taken it on a couple trips now, and it has been extremely convenient. I even had family members seeing me use it that stopped to ask me about it. No complaints! It connects well, stays in place, and installation was extremely easy. I did not have to download any drivers or install anything either. Very Happy!Side Note- I actually have used this as a screen for my Nintendo Switch, too, while on my treadmill. I thought that was a useless application, but I ended up using it and it works well for that too!
I had the screen hooked up to my 2012 MBP and it was good, but it really looks great on my new MBP 2019. I didn't even need to download the DisplayLink software- it hooked up automatically on the Big Sur OS. I bought 2 and gave one to my son for his PC laptop. He is thrilled. Great job Mobile Pixels!
