[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was reluctant to have this as I thought it was too fragile to be of any use, however this is not correct. The screen is a good size, very sturdy and i can use it as a stand alone (with origami stand) or attached to my laptop. I am very happy with this purchase
Great item but disappointed by one aspect of the new model

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the mobile pixel duo since 2020 and upgraded to the Duex Plus this year.
Cons: I love the monitor itself but was very disappoint to see video is no longer possible from a single USB-C to USB-A cord. Your options are to run it using USB-C to USB-C or use two cables to connect via usb-a and hdmi. This feels like a huge downgrade to me. This isnt an issue of the technology not being able to do it, because the previous model worked just fine on USB-A. The cord that comes with it is way too long. So now my choice is to buy a new shorter coiled cord that is USB-C or stick with the ridiculously long cord.
Pros: The monitor itself is great. I am loving the slightly bigger screen and the new magnets. I also love the auto shutoff when you slide the extra monitor closed. The hinge seems a bit sturdier than the previous model but only time will tell on that.
Overall I am happy but still very disappointed I have to replace my existing coiled cable I've been using for years.
