So this works for me. The most important thing is that thick USB C cable, I believe it's a Thunderbolt cable that is cable of power and display port video data. So you must use this cable. Your laptop or iPad must also be capable of receiving video. Otherwise, you get "no signal" displayed on the Acer screen. Otherwise use the HDMI cable that comes in the box. If you use the pass through ppwer feature, make sure you use the original USB C cable and power adaptor from your labtop. What you should do is just connect power to your laptop and use the USB C (thick cable) to connect to your Acer screen. What I didn't like was the cable is too short for my workflow setup because my mouse move to the Acer screen in Extend mode, it moves from left (laptop) to right (Acer). For Samsung S series phones, it will only work if the phone has Samsung Dex.

I initially bought this as a portable second screen for working on the go, but I have also been using it as a third monitor at my home office. It works great! It’s about the same size as my laptop, so super easy to travel with. Text and color are crystal clear! The power cord is just a little short for some situations, but nothing an extension cord can’t fix.

The monitor is mostly fine, and behaves as expected, but the brightness is terrible. I adjusted it from 0 - 100 % and saw no change in the brightness. Compared to my 2011 MacBook, which really doesn't get that bright compared to modern screens, this Acer monitor barely looks like it's on.
If you plan on only working in a dark room then maybe this would work, but in a normal office, home, or school environment this is no where near sufficient. It's to the point of eye strain trying to read stuff on it.

It wasn't clear to me that this would include the required HDMI-to-Mini-HDMI. The Best Buy site even suggests an insignia cable as an add-on. So I bought it, then returned it. This comes with quite a few cables and accessories, including USB-C to USB-C, and HDMI to Mini HDMI.

This monitor has both HDMI and EDP inputs. The pael is very good quality. There is a small speaker for sound (do not expect a full sound system). For the price this is a good deal. I have used it with anXBzoX series S. Works perfectly. You need a USB cable A to C to provide power to the monitor from one of the XBOX USB ports.

Just needed a portable monitor to use with my lap top while on the road for work. This made it easy to hook up and use without having to read difficult instructions. And it fits perfect in my computer bag. Love the ability to have an extra screen and the slim cover fits perfect. I'm loving how it makes my travel time easy to work from with my lap top and an extra screen!!! Definitely 5 stars!!!

I finally gave in and bought this as an extended display, and man am I so glad I did. It has significantly improved my workflow. Only downsides are that if my Macbook Pro isn't plugged into a power source, the Acer monitor dims to about half brightness. Changing the brightness on the monitor doesn't do anything to fix it (although the brightness settings do work when my Macbook is plugged in). It's not a huge deal, since I usually have my Macbook plugged in anyway, but it is slightly annoying. I imagine if you're the type of person who wants to be able to take this thing on the go and you don't have access to an outlet for your computer, it could be a problem. It also takes quite a while to connect to the Macbook - it makes my laptop screen go dark for about 10 seconds and takes a while to boot up on the monitor. Again, not a huge deal, but a bit annoying. All in all, when it's plugged in and going, it works great. Solid monitor for the price.

This works with a 75 ' HDMI cable. Doing with a wireless keyboard and mouse allows me to have a gaming laptop experiance at desktop pc prices. Why spend 3k on a laptop you keep plugged in when you can have the same performance for half the cost.

This option provides the immediate need anyone would have for a 2nd monitor. The HDMI input and provided cable allows for connecting almost any device with an HDMI and no type C I/O option

It's a nice portable laptop for the price. I wish the power cord was longer to make it easier to plug in while using it with my laptop. I currently have to sit close to an outlet or us an extension cord. Manual says if you use the mini HDMI cable then your laptop will power the monitor but my laptop doesn't have a mini HDMI port.

I wanted to have another screen for productivity, and this was marked down to $100, so I thought it looked like a solid deal. Out of the box, my only complaint is that it's a little dark, but the settings were easy to adjust brighter. The folding makes for easy storage.
