5.0 out of 5 stars Better Screen makes up for bulk (MacOS M1 user)
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023
I own both this model and the entry-level Asus model that runs around $160. The economical model uses a separated cover that folds into a triangle as a single, angled support for the monitor. It’s very mobile, but it’s my beater - the family mini-van of mobile monitors. It gets the job done, not very well, and I don’t want to be on it for too long. Stacked next to a MacBook, the resolution difference is hard to overlook.

This model is bulkier with the folding stand. Twice the thickness due to the stand, but allows the user to angle it exactly how you want. The HDMI cable did NOT work with my MacBook, but the Type C cable worked fine. Apparently, not all cables work, based on some data that’s exchanged between the monitor and MacBook before it registers a display. Also comes with a USB power adapter, but the MacBook M1 powered it fine.

I’m really happy I paid for this higher model. The resolution and brightness against my 15” M1 is a lot closer than the models with less resolution. It makes working on it way more enjoyable and a more cohesive, visual experience. I’d opt for the better display if you can.

It comes with a soft case. I wish, like the less expensive model, it came with some type of hard protection for the screen. For now, I just put some thick cardboard in the protective pouch. By the time the soft pouch has the monitor, USB adapter, HDMI and USC cables, the pouch is at least an 1.5” thick. So assume when you travel with your laptop/Macbook, stick the accessories in there.

Nevertheless, would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Light and portable. High Q screen. Durable. Good price.
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023
After other failed attempts at finding a good quality and convenient portable screen, this one takes the cake. I warn against the mounting type, especially the double-screen mounting models, for reasons of overly-large bevels and ridiculous weights. This unit is not only sturdy but durable (it recently went through several plane flights in my carry-on) and comes with a (thin but) useful cloth carrier case.
Super user friendly: it was literally plug ‘n play. Zero complaints about latency or lag. Comes with two cables to allow connection via usb c thunderbolts and standard usb C as well. My use was with an M-1 2020 MacBook Air.
Perfect fit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for working in bed or away from home!
Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2022
I bought this before having abdominal surgery, so I could work from home in bed. (Also justified purchasing an adjustable bed, haha!) This helped so much! Because the stand is the width of the monitor, it stands up well on the bed or your lap, even if the surface is uneven or plush, like blankets. Sometimes I set both my laptop and this monitor on a wooden lap table--the table wasn't quite wide enough for both, so I just positioned the portable monitor slightly behind the laptop and used one side of it. And sometimes I used my computer directly on my lap, setting the portable off to the side on the bed next to me. It stands up really well as-is (the optional stand wouldn't work well on uneven surfaces).

I also pack this for long trips sometimes, in case I want to edit the photos and videos I've been taking. It's nice to have the extra monitor for that. It's also good to have the extra monitor in countries where I don't speak the language--that way, I can do stuff on one screen and watch Netflix/Prime/whatever on the other. :-)

The picture quality is good. It's not up there with my expensive laptop, but I don't expect it to be at this price. Colors aren't quite as brilliant and textures aren't quite as sharp. But I have no problem whatsoever using it for gaming, and text looks good on it. I wouldn't even notice the slightly reduced picture quality if it weren't sitting right next to my gaming laptop. I just wouldn't recommend it for high-level graphic designers, obviously.

VERY lightweight and thin! The protective case is like an envelope, so packing it takes about as much room as a paper folder would. I set it against my laptop in the laptop sleeve of my bag. It doesn't weight much.

My favorite part is that this doesn't need a power cord! You just attach it to your laptop with a USB-C, and that's it--no extra cords to mess with or pack.

Very happy with this purchase, and I've recommended this model to several other people. I've also always had great luck with Asus computers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for the price!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2023
I've been using this USB monitor for around 10 months and I love it! I use it with a MacBook Pro 16" and the size of this display is just similar enough to where it looks almost pretty much the same as my primary screen. Granted, the resolution is lower and the only way to control brightness is through the hardware buttons which could be easier to use. The protective outer shell is a bit confusing to figure out at first but once you do it's easy to use.
Pros:
-Nice sturdy outer shell to protect it during travel while also serving as a stand
-Nice hard aluminum frame for a bit of toughness
-Even grabbing it with one hand and putting pressure on the screen doesn't seem to bother it (although probably not a good idea)

Cons:
-Newest MacBook Pro operating system requires a DisplayLink driver to be installed. The monitor will not work without it.
-Resolution could be higher
-It would be nice to control brightness from the computer rather than hardware buttons

Overall a great purchase for the price and I'm considering buying another one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality, easy, portable and convenient
Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2023
This screen is super easy to set up, and once done, you just plug it in anytime. Screen is clear and has great resolution. I watch movies on it all the time, and have never seen any issues.
I've never gotten it to work with my phone before, but I suspect that's more of a power supply issue. It works great with my Surface Pro 9. I travel A LOT, and this screen gets jumbled around in backpacks, planes, motorcycles, and more. It's held up amazingly well without scratches or dents.
It's just the best thing to have for remote work, or when you're away from the office, or if you just want to have a second screen for multi-tasking.
I went and bought the stand for it as well, and it's super easy to disconnect and toss in the bag whenever. 10/10.
