Plug in Play

This monitor only has two USB-C inputs and works with my HP Pavilion and Note 8 without any drivers. I simply plugged the monitor in and the display fired up in less than 30 seconds the first time and within 5 seconds after. Definitely worth the money.

Works great!

It was super simple to install and turn on. I'm very happy with the monitor because it has increased my productivity and it's portable! The photo attached shows me using it on my lap. I don't recommend doing this too often since it does wobble a bit due to its weight (hard table surfaces work best); but if you must, you can maneuver it to stay still.

More efficient virtual meetings !

My 2 sons both wanted a second monitor to be able to either write papers or work while on a virtual meeting . This is the perfect fit for both ! In addition it can flip around if wanted for presentation. I bought it for one son and am buying for the other , they are both in college . We are very happy with the quality of the screen . The price sure beats having a second computer .

Almost perfect

I am a developer and been working from home for 10+ years. My company issues laptops and 1 screen is just not good enough for coding. I got 2 of these to mimic my desktop setup. They have performed fine so far. They magnets are a little weak so i wound up putting a little piece of wood behind my laptop for support. Other than that, they work great

GREAT monitor! Meets all my needs while teaching high schoolers remotely so that I can multi-task to increase productivity. Don�t know how I survived without it! Excellent choice and actually thinking about purchasing another so I can utilize 3 screens!

Very clever design. I'm glad I have it

Initial Review Jan 19, 2021This is a very clever design. It is flexible and extendable. The target laptop can be used without the portable monitor installed. The laptop can be used with a single portable monitor or two of them for a 3 screen layout. When in single portable use the monitor can easily be switched from side to side.The monitor can be detached from the back of the laptop screen and has an independent kickstand that is also magnetically attached. The way this is accomplished is to slide the monitor all the way out of it's fixture, then swing the monitor around 180 degrees until it fits against the back of the fixture. Now the screen is facing out.The design is interesting. The kickstand works but is "just okay."Construction seems to be good. I'm certain that handling it with care it will last a long time.To make all of this work means I have four flat metal disks permanently (but removable if need be) attached to the closed laptop. In my case my Samsung laptop is almost the same color as the metal disks so it isn't too bad.Installation instructions are repeated a couple of times in the manual and included paperwork. It really is simple though.There is no power brick or power cable. The monitor is powered from the USB-C cable which also carries the audio and video data. So there is only one cable required. I plugged it into my laptop and it turned on.The monitor is sharp and bright. There are controls accessible from the touch sensitive buttons on the bezel. Being a little dark in my livingroom at night I had to use a flashlight to locate the three buttons. I will likely paint a small white dot next to each button so I can use them without an extra light source. It would have been nice if they were lit, perhaps a dim blue or red would be good.The instructions say that the bottom of the frame fixture should rest on the table when the monitor is open and extended. At first I thought that would limit the tilt angle of the laptop screen. However the frame can be repositioned a bit to accommodate different angles.Pros:- Great flexible design- Creates the ability to easily have a second screen without having to carry several multiple components.- The required cable is included.- 12 disks are included so up to 3 laptops can be ready to receive the monitor.- The monitor is bright and crisp with good colors.- The monitor can be useful even if not fully extracted from the frame.- Powered by USB-C, no need for an AC power source or battery.- Low power consumption.Cons:- The instruction booklet neglected to cover the monitor touch sensitive buttons and menu items.- Not too good looking metal disks have to be left on the laptop even when not using the monitor.- It's so tempting to use the laptop touch screen, then expect the monitor to be touch screen as well.- The included kickstand works but can slip or detach.My desktop computer has a 25" screen so I'm spoiled when using that computer. When I switch to using my 13" laptop I'm alway feeling there isn't enough screen space. This flexible extra monitor really solves that issue for me. I can be hosting a Zoom call, displaying a full screen image to the Zoom clients, and still have a full screen for my own use.I could even run a video movie on the monitor for the kids to watch while I continue to have full access to the laptop.I am quite pleased with this setup. I highly recommend this Mobile Pixels 12.5‘’ monitor.

Great splurge for work

Just got my trio monitor today love it. Perfect for the work from home situation when I don�t have room for a large, bulky secondary monitor. Been using it just a few hours and already feel more productive not having to switch between windows every 10 seconds.
