Doesn't Work with Tablet Kickstand
on November 22, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
Since the screen has to attach in four spots, it doesn't work with a tablet kickstand. So I wound up having to buy the MP kickstand, attach the magnets to the back of my Surface (the magnets rise above the tablet about a half inch because they have to line up with the screen magnets), attach the screen, open the screen, and attach the kickstand to the inside of the screen sleeve. So the kickstand is not directly magnetized to the screen sleeve; it's weakly attached to the magnets on the front-facing side of the screen sleeve. As a result, any slight touch pops off the kickstand and the whole setup falls down.

Great for zoom meetings

This screen was great. Made zoom meetings much better as I could always see the faces of all the meeting members. Great build quality and easy to set up.

Increased productivity on the go!

Working from home now I have a 3 monitor system. The wife uses her laptop around the house and I felt left out seeing her work serenely from the comfort of the comfy couch next to the fireplace (or out on the deck in the summer/spring). Here I am stuck in my stuffy office. Enter the Trio Max..... I've got all 3 screens which equals the same level of productivity from anywhere in the house! Not to mention when I'm traveling! Setup is relatively simple. The magnets are surprisingly strong (even with BOTH monitors attached). The only downside is that you have to move the screens to where they stick out a bit on the right (or left alternatively) for them to be able to slide out and fold in. This causes an issues on the left (or right alternatively) as the other monitor is then shifted which pulls it IN and doesn't allow it to be seen completely. I got around that by moving the clips a bit they don't hold as well, but if you're relatively careful it works. That's the only suggestion I would have. Allow the clips to slide the monitors themselves as well. So create clips that slide the monitors and of course the screens themselves already slide. Hope that makes sense. Other than that.... GREAT product!

Keeps cutting in and out
on November 16, 2020

After about a week, every computer I hook it up to keeps cutting in and out. Plus the magnets are not strong enough and it just feels flimsy. Good concept, bad in practice. Ended up getting a different screen and a stand to put it on and much happier.

So much room for activities!

I love all the extra desktop space the 2nd monitor provides. I can work on so many things without having to context switch as much. I can't wait for the 2nd monitor to come so I can have 3 screens to work on!I wish I had this screen in grad school! That would have helped my studying so much!

Much better than expected
on November 14, 2020

I had a lot of skepticism even when ordering this product and compared to other similar products that are available right now or coming soon (which aren't many).Overall design concept and build: 4 starsOverall concept is actually well thought out. I admit that the plastic backpanel on which magnets are attached to feels a bit flimsy. But it does the job, and argument can be made that it's for reducing weight. Minus one star for the cheap feel.The steel discs and magnets might feel like a joke, but actually it works better than expected for a few reasons. Two Trios weigh as much as a laptop itself, and putting that much weight on the laptop screen housing will either damage the hinges down the road or make the laptop do a backflip. The magnets attach to the discs but they have some wiggle room so that it slides down to the desk surface and puts Trio's weight on the desk instead of the laptop screen. The wiggle room between the magnet and discs actually allows you tilt the laptop backwards more for better viewing angle, and keep the Trio's weight on the desk surface. A lot of similar product's solutions like hanging the portable monitors on the edge of laptop screen puts a lot of weight on the hinge. My bet is that your viewing angle will be very limited, almost 90 degrees upright. Tilt the screen back, and most laptop hinges won't be able to hold up the weight of two extra screens.**I have a windows laptop and attached a thin cut-to-order polycarbonate sheet matching my laptop size, used Velcro fasteners to attach the polycarbonate sheet to behind the laptop screen. The velcro stickers will be much easier to remove down the road than metal discs without getting some scuffs. For Macbook users, I strongly suggest using a hard case.***Connectivity:I wish it had a mini HDMI like other portable monitors. USB-C input is fine, buttery smooth. But using USB-A input makes it laggy, feels like a remote desktop or the Duet app on the iPad (since it uses the same DisplayLink technology over USB A). My laptop only has one USB-C so I have to live with the laggy screen on one side. It's okay for static screens, but lag is noticeable when you play a video, and forget gaming with USB-A connection.Other notes:When you attach two 14 inch Trios to a 15inch laptop, the width of a triple monitor setup is similar to a 43 inch monitor when toed in, and wider when not toed in. You're not going to be able to pull out both at most cafe's or any public space. A single unit should suffice for most users. It's lighter as well. If you do decide to get two Trios, make sure you have two USB C ports or be ready to live with a lag on one of them.

Bad product - does not represent the price paid
on November 13, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
The idea is good and defintly ther is nothig like it in the market. Nevertheless the product is bad and a total wast of mony. The quality of the materials are cheep and does not reflect the price you pay for, it doesn't work in all laptops as it say, it only works if your screen is thick enoght to prevent to be damage by the magnets. I had a big disulition when I recibed the product. For the same price you can buy a tradicional portable screen of lenovo o acer, that will work much better, and which was built with durable materiales. This product is so bad and useless that I actually bought a lenovo portable screen, for the same prince, and it is thousen times better than this one. If you don't want to lose your money please don't buy this product.I hope this honest review will prevent someone from commenting on the same mistake I made.
