The Good:It actually works! The quality is very crisp and you can have a very nice second monitor that you can take with you.You need Drivers for the Mac OS but once you have that, it works flawlessly. So far, I love it.The Not So Good:It's a little bulky, and at first when closing the screen, it wants to fall off the back of your computer instead (see video). That will probably get better with more use. It's just a little clunky.Magnets:I'm not sure how magnets on the back of the screen will impact the OEM display, but this is a work laptop so that's inconsequential to me luckily. I think it'll be fine though. The magnets aren't crazy strong. It's just to balance it. The weight of the screen goes directly onto the tabletop surface below your laptop.
I just got it, and let me tell you that I am in love!!!! make my job much easier I�ll update later on if I have any problems with it.....so far great investment
I really like the larger, 14� screens and that I can easily use two at once. My only concern is every time I slip the screen out I see lines where the screen rubs the back of its diamond patterned case. I�m afraid that a few months down the road I will have permanent marks. We shall see.
Love its compact, mobile style, general utility, and screen quality. However, it constantly disconnects from my laptop causing workflow disruption, and no amount of following online instructions to fix this issue has worked so far.
Amazing screen. Love the design and look. Also, the size of the MAX! Very happy with customer support. Screen works perfectly. Make sure to use the THUNDERBOLT usb.
Cool idea, overall decent product, not sturdy enough for mobility.

Product is not a sturdy, screens slide around when you move your laptop, have to be really careful pulling the screens out and bringing them out towards you or away from you, broke one swivel 10mins out of the box... Also the cables are just long enough on one side but could be an inch or so longer for comfort. Screen quality is good, improved my working from home experience but pricey for how delicate they are.
Pretty happy with this monitor. I really wanted to be able to work with my laptop sitting in my lap, but this monitor is clearly not made for that. I don't think they do a good enough job in their marketing explaining that. It is VERY clear in their setup instructions. My solution to that was a lap desk so the monitor has a hard surface to set on. The magnets aren't strong enough (or designed) to hold the monitor on by themselves. As it turned out my ASUS laptop had just enough of a ledge behind the screen it allowed the pixels monitor a place to rest. So I don't really need the lap desk, but I like the setup so much that I'm keeping it anyway. I hope the next iteration of this monitor includes a little better wire management. It would be nice if the design includes a small channel to tuck the wires into. In my case specifically I will never be able to add the third monitor--but that's because of the design of my laptop. The ledge on the back is filled up by one so a second one would be too thick. Maybe someday they'll come up with a design where the base fits over the existing screen.Messy cables aside, this is a great little monitor and a fantastic productivity booster. I have owned other portable monitors but the setup for this one makes it far more useful than the standalone monitors. I'm very happy with my purchase.
