Love these extra screens

I used to have to search for something on my iPad and use that as a secondary monitor. The two monitors that I bought give me everything that I truly needed in my iPad.
I've been very happy with this product overall. It definitely takes care of my need to have a second monitor that is easy to pack up and carry on my travels. It fits easily into my laptop case, with my laptop, so that all I have to do is slide it in and shut my laptop at the end of each day.
One downside is that it's a bit heavy. I'm not sure how the weight will wear on my laptop hinges long-term. Also, when I slide it out and angle it towards me, it slips off the track and sits crooked.
These are minor things for me but things I would love to see improvement on in the future because I love the overall idea and functionality of this product. I would recommend it to a friend.
This is a very unstable and cheap feeling piece. Especially for the price tag, I was hoping for something that glided out seamlessly, didn’t make my computer monitor wobble, and was easy to use.
This seems like it is still in testing phase and not ready for mass purchase/production
I’ve just received my replacement trio max in the mail. The one I originally ordered cropped a good portion of the screen off on all sides. When I got on the phone with mobile pixels support they informed me that a batch of trio max monitors went out that had a bug that would do this for Apple computers. Today I’ve received my replacement and it has the same problem:(
We ordered two of the Trio Max for one laptop and the magnets are barely strong enough to hold one, let alone two. And just opening the screen pulls it off the magnets. We re very disappointed. Two screens slide right off. They need to be powerful earth magnets with a shield on the back side so they wont interfere with the screen but strong enough to hold two of your screens. Clearly, these arent and should never be advertised as such. Double sided tape is the only solution which just renders your solution useless.
I was so excited to get my trio but unfortunately they did not live up to the hype! They are really heavy which is my biggest complaint. The cords to attach them are obnoxiously in the way when traveling. Certain programs don’t understand the monitors. For instance my snipping tool changes the size of the screen and so far I cannot find a way around it so I have to close the monitors and go back to a single screen in order to use a function that I use constantly throughout the day. It is still nice to have three screens when I’m traveling and not have to carry around monitors. But in hindsight I would not of spent the money on these again. I’m sure eventually they will be worth the investment but I would return these if I could.
I am very happy with the additional two screens added to my computer. The 12.5" MP Trio screens fit well with my 13" laptop. I was concerned with the connection setup not having any USB-C ports but these work great via my built-in USB-A ports. The monitors don't have a full swivel compared to another brand but do allow for a slight vertical adjustment. The kickstand is not standard either but I haven't felt the need to purchase them separately. The monitors are stable as long as the base attached to the back of the laptop sits firmly on the desk/table. Overall great price and value for the increased productivity.
Says compatible with android smartphones. But I just get a flashing screen. And no info from mobile pixels. Why sell a product and advertise compatibility with android smartphones? With no troubleshooting support anywhere. None in user manual. None on website... please stop advertising that feature unless there's something showing how to set that up.. I guess I ordered something that I can not use. I have one of the newer Samsung galaxy phone... and that's not working

Hi Chris, please email contact@mobilepixels.us. You need to connect the charger for the Samsung Phone to the monitor first, then connect the monitor to the phone with the supplied cable.
