Monitor works great Magnets don't
on August 3, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
So I bought this monitor and I was skeptical. Turns out that the Monitor it's self is great, I have a 17" HP laptop windows 10. I did not have to install any drivers. The power cord for it is a little stiff and you have to push it in a little hard. As far as the magnets they are not strong enough to hold the monitor. I even tried to double up the magnets, so I took them off. I used Alien Tape (it's a "industrial grade" double sided tape). I put 4 small pieces on where the magnets would go and it is holding great. The Kickstand for this monitor is too short. I really do not need it but I would be nice to have for extra support. I did give a 4 stars because the monitor itself is great.

Didn't work, security concerns, and more...

I'm very technically inclined, have written software, and worked in the tech world for over 25 years. I spent the morning working on this and couldn't get it to work on my Macbook. I might have kept after it and eventually got it working but gave up on it for two reasons:
1). For the mac, you have to grant it special permissions to do screen recording regardless of whether the app is running or not. You read that right. That means you are granting a non-US, third party company to record your screen activity and it is all dictated by the privacy terms and conditions they stipulate and you have to jump through hoops with the mac system preferences to bypass the built-in OS security before the screen could work. Think about that. Why would you ever grant something like that? You don't have to grant those kinds of permissions to hook up to an external monitor so why would you allow this?
2). It is held on by magnets that aren't powerful enough to support the weight of the monitor itself. They include a stand to support the underneath side it but that requires you to have your laptop on a hard flat surface in order to make it work.
Others seem to like the device but for me it is a hard pass.

Cord is broken that attaches to the monitor and the laptop after 3 months of use.

I purchased this item hoping it would last me a long time. It's been 3 months of using this product and after a couple uses, the cord that plugs into laptop got stuck in my laptop port and broke off. This is close to a 400 dollar product and didn't even last me 6 months. I would not recommend!

These things are great! Wife works from home with a 3-screen monitor setup for her PC. We bought a couple of these to keep at our Daughter's house so that she can still work to the same capacity from her Chromebook when visiting our Granddaughter! Very easy to setup and use.

Good addition for remote computer work
on May 23, 2021

Very interesting design and concept. It is a a two part setup that attached to your laptop with magnets. And then it will slide out and be the second monitor as shown. Worked right out tic the box and no need to download any drivers or software for my HP. It is connected through USB C and no driver is needed but there is a USB adapter to the cord and that will require a driver down load.
The screen slides out nicely and then it pivots as well to help add visual adjustments based on the laptop set up.
Is a great addition to have for working remote and having a small simple second screen to become more productive and navigate faster.

Increase productivity

A friend told me about this monitor and I knew I had to get it. Luckily for me, it was the lightning deal and I don’t think I’ve ever press so fast other than when I got a PS5 for my daughter. The portability of this monitor is what sold me. I like that it can be attached to your laptop and they provide 3 sets of magnets for attachment of up to 3 laptops. Unfortunately, I have a XPS3 so the screen hangs over all sides of my laptop. Therefore, I won’t be attaching it directly to my laptop but placing it as a notebook for travels. I can now be very productive around the house. I can lay on the floor and get work done and don’t necessarily need to be at my desk. I use this without my laptop being connected to power and I haven’t seen my laptop battery drain faster than normal. My new favorite place is to sit on the floor while my toddler plays around me and get work done.
The screen isn’t as bright as my laptop but it still doesn’t take away from its functionality. It’s not as pixelated but the picture quality isn’t diminished. The screen itself seems durable and the housing of the monitor seems to provide good protection for the monitor so it will not crack. The monitor can be used in landscape or portrait mode to mirror or extend. It was plug & play. I simply plugged it in and Windows installed the drivers needed to get it to work. I was up & running in less than 30 seconds. Unplugging & plugging it in is no problem as it connects within seconds. However, placing the monitor in portrait mode is always a slight challenge as I don’t want to break the hinge and you have to push both sides out completely before rotating. One side always seems to cooperate perfectly while the other needs a little finessing.
This little monitor has increased my productivity while working at home because when I need to step away from my desk, I now still have dual monitor and no longer need to work off my laptop screen.

High price for what you get

Magnets were not strong enough to hold screen up in a straight manner. Screen easily scratches. Does it work, yes. But you may need adjust the set up.

Good monitor with creative mounting solution
on January 20, 2021
Posted by: Anonymous
This monitor tackles the problem of convenience through creative use of magnets that mount to the back side of your laptop. While other screens require standing mechanisms of their own, this one slides behind your laptop and to the side. I can see this feature being loved or hated, but you can choose to not use the magnets if you do not like it. It is a creative and convenient solution in my opinion. The screen resolution and brightness is pretty good too.
