Magnets aren't strong enough

Magnets are not strong enough to hold the weight of the attachable Trio Max screen. I have them aligned just like the directions stated. The screen its self is good not as bright as my screen. The touch buttons you really can't see (like they show on the box and pictures). Advertising is a little over played and trickery, not cool. It does do it job minus what I have stated above. I'll see if I'll keep it or find a better one.
So I have a Lenovo Yoga laptop and was not aware that there is a sensor that once the screen is installed and up your keyboard will not work. I still gave 4 stars because of the customer service. They responded quickly and am sending me a stand since I have this issue. They also said if I move the laptop around a bit I may not trigger the sensor. They are also looking into a workaround for laptops such as this.
The price was perfect! Took it directly out of the box and plugged it in and it works perfectly. Light weight (2.2lbs) and now I have even more screen space to multi task as home and work. It holds magnetically to the back of my laptop monitor, so, it can be removed with ease and put back on quickly for mobility purposes!! This product is a must have for both PC & MAC computers!!!!!
Great quality screen, but mounting/stand options could be better

Very good quality screen with good portability and compatibility. The mounting system could be more stable, and may be problematic for laptop models where the bottom edge of the laptop screen is more than a centimeter or so off the table.
<>
Pro: Comes with enough metal mounting discs to mount on three laptops/surfaces
Con: The four magnets are not strong enough to hold the screen securely to the monitor without slipping. Larger magnets, or two additional magnets and maybe some anti-slip rubber coating may make a difference.
<>
Pro: Looks great on the back of a laptop, sharp design.
Pro: Screen is good quality, clear and sharp, and good color, and has a great viewing angle.
Con: The unit we received has a dead pixel that is bright green, but I am assuming this is an anomaly.
<>
Pro: The hinges feel nice and firm, so I don’t feel like the screen is going to move without intentionally adjusting it.
Con: The sliding mechanism feels a little loose, and can settle slightly, causing the screen to tilt slightly. Not significant, but might be a problem over time.
Con: The bottom edge of the screen must be resting against a desk or table according to the manufacturer’s instructions. However, most laptops have a 1 to 3 centimeter gap between the bottom edge of the laptop screen and the table. This causes two problems: 1) Often this is where air vents are on the laptop, which can damage the laptop if blocked. 2) Sliding the screen down after opening the laptop screen will cause the magnets to disconnect from the metal plates. The instructions show how to mount the metallic discs while the screen is closed; however it might be better to instruct users to place the metal discs while the laptop screen is open to 90 degrees, and the bottom edge of the portable screen touching the surface the laptop is on.
Con: The requirement that the bottom edge of the laptop screen has to rest on the surface of the table or desk that is being used can be problematic for many models of laptop. More magnetic surface area would have been preferred to keep it stable instead.
Pro: Can sit easily in some cell phone or tablet stands. However, I do wish it had an integrated or magnetic kickstand of some kind.

Pro: The presentation mode is a very useful feature.
Pro: Instructions are clear and easy to follow (though may need to be amended to accommodate laptops with larger distance between the bottom of the screen and the surface the laptop is on).
Pro: Inclusion of USB-C cable with USB-A adaptor is great.
Pro: Includes easy brightness controls and display options
When I travel, my computer setup is always an issue. I'm used to working on multiple monitors in my home and office but when traveling with a laptop my productivity declines since I don't have the screen real estate I'm used to. I've been known to lug around large desktop monitors to supplement my laptop but when I heard about this portable laptop monitor I had to give it a shot. Setup was quick and it attaches to my 17 inch laptop monitor well. I just ordered one to test it out but plan on ordering a second before my next trip. Two of these monitors will give me the screen real estate I've been missing for years while traveling and it fits easily in my laptop case.
This monitor worked as described. It was just too heavy when attached to my laptop. If it had any type of stand I would have kept it. Worked great, just too heavy when attached.
As I am working from home and changes location from time to time this monitor is very helpful. Easy to attach and no need to do any additional setup. Weight is just enough and the quality of picture is good. This is worth my dollar.
