Customer Ratings & Reviews

This monitor is fine when it works properly. I have to unplug/plug it in over and over again each morning to try to get it to be recognized/stay connected. It's irritating and a time killer. Downloading the drivers did nothing to improve this, and my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so can't use the included CD. Best Buy has such a short return period and there's nothing else available immediately to replace it because of the influx of people working from home, so I am stuck with it.

Overall I'm pleased with the monitor. It serves its purpose. The picture is decent and it's easy to transport. Annoyances include the angle of the screen (the support has one position only) and the length of the cord. It's only practical if you're working at a small desk, and of course, those stupid cords are another $10-30. People on laptops don't work at desks in my experience. We're working in a chair or on the couch. Where it's comfortable. Aggravations: if I leave the monitor plugged in and let the computer go to sleep, or even just unplug and then plug it back in, I have to unplug and replug the monitor, often several times, to get it to wake up. Also, there desperately needs to be a no-slip pad on the stand. The monitor slides across the table every time I accidentally move the cord.

Not plug-and-play. I had to download the drivers for it to display with my Dell laptop. Overall this works okay for spreadsheet and document tasks. The display is just not quite sharp enough to do any kind of graphic or video work. If I had to it over, I would have forked over more money for a higher resolution monitor.

The resolution is not as good as I’d hoped for. As a second screen to pair with my laptop it didn’t work out because of that issue. It’s back in the box for now and I’ll see if it has some use in the future. It was inexpensive, so I guess I got what I paid for. The product itself functions as advertised.

Love the design of it. It has a built-in stand just like an old-style picture frame that you can stand on a desk or table. It also has a little carrying case. Doesn't seem to work with my older MacBook for which I really need an extra monitor. That part is disappointing as it seems I'll have to get tech assistance to see if it's possible to get it working.If I can't get it to work I'll have to return it. Bummer as I like the style of it's design & portability. So much larger screen to view than using phone or tablet. Hence the not so great rating. Could they not design monitors that will operate easily with most computers? Even older ones?

This may be a very small segment to people buying, but heads up just in case. You cannot simply plug this monitor into your computer and it works. It requires you to install a driver before it becomes “plug and play.” For most users, a simple driver install may not be a huge deal. However, I’m travelling for work and decided to give this a try on my work laptop. The problem is, my company’s computer policy does not allower users to install unapproved software onto their laptops. I was not able to get approval to install the driver, making this a very fancy paperweight. I don’t want to give a one star as this probably won’t be an issue for 95% of purchasers, but it is something to be aware of.

I have an MSI 2022 laptop that I occasionally use for work and wanted a second monitor for when I work somewhere that isn't home. This does the job, but is not a quality product that I would say go buy you can't live without it. Problems: The graphic is bad, and somehow the company cannot effectively assist me in adjusting the brightness or the gamma. The stand is awkward, the monitor stands up like a landscape view picture frame, with the kickstand reaching a distance in back so this monitor takes up some room. There are no adjustment features on the monitor. If it's plugged in, it goes, if it is not, it stops, that's it. There is software to download but it does nothing. It will bearly fit with my laptop while using it say on an ottoman. Trying to communicate with support is not efficient. It does not make my laptop overheat, which was a concern. It does work, it's not a total waste of money, but don't expect a lot.

Fits my need for a small footprint, price conscious second monitor I wanted for teaching on a makeshift desk. It’s super portable and even includes a case. But it’s barebones, a USB connector and nothing else, ports or otherwise. The picture is nice but the viewing angle is not great and the refresh rate is relatively slow. But as a second for portability or in a tight space, if you are editing documents or browsing basic web sites, I would recommend it.

It’s a great monitor for the price. It just doesn’t connect with every computer. Picture quality is great, it’s packable and travels well!

I wish it was compatible with my Lenovo Thinkpad but sadly no. Here's the real issue. I bought two items online (cartridge and this monitor) was promised delivery next day or two and only one made it. Added another $25 to get it moved to next day so that was money thrown right in the trash. Next, and this really got me upset, shopping online I put a laser cartridge in my cart and then this monitor. Obviously I needed to return the monitor. Looked real simple. Go BB!! Wrong, their online return only recognizes that you want to return only the FIRST item you put in your cart! Even their online "help" couldn't understand. I gave up after about 30 minutes and just drove to my local BB to physically return it. So, buying online, smooth transaction, smooth delivery and smooth return? Yes, okay, No & No! From now on I will make one transaction per item and I really believe they owe me the $25 I shelled out for "quicker" delivery but somehow I don't think that's going to happen.

It serves its purpose. For the price, you get an extended desktop in a small package for improved productivity. I use this when editing photos and videos when on the road. It’s great to run a web browser or file managers to move those functions from my main screen. Not as bright as I’d like and the resolution different compared to my MacBook Pro’s Retina display is dramatic. It’s ok as I did not expect it to be comparable, but this could be distracting to some. I’m very happy with this display for the price.

It does what it says, and many other reviews are correct about the flaws. For a quick break down: its light, simple, easy to store in a computer bag, plug and play. Cons: dim, i cant get usbc to usba to work, expensive, a bit cheap. Because its very lack luster in quality and brightness, it would be much better to either, buy a knock off for 80.00 or step up and get a 200 plus hmdi one. So it works but not the greatest.

I was happy with the monitor when I tested it on my personal computer with Windows 11. As soon as I connected it to my only 2 year old work computer what I needed it for, it didn't work. Should offer USB and HDMI option. Even after I installed the driver's it wouldn't work. Perhaps it doesn't work with Windows Enterprise... Very unfortunate as I was looking at using it.

This screen does exactly what I wanted it to. I was able to hook it up to my laptop foe another screen and my desk top as well.

Monitor itself is fine- does the job not the highest resolution and you kind of have to deal with it as-is. The biggest annoyance I find is trying to get it work on my windows 10 hp laptop. I had it running- installed a driver from some link but took me a while to find that info online and figure it out from trial and error- had it working for 4 solid mos- no problems, but now my system updates seem to have caused the former driver to be outdated and i am once again on the hunt for the right download(s)... the AOC site download for this product isn't cutting it. The down time trying to find the right driver stinks! Would much prefer to plug and play. Not thrilled.

The screen is adequate, but there are a few important flaws to consider. First is the resolution, which some may not mind. I am spoiled by sharper displays and did not like the blockiness of this one. This is a subjective observation, and one that may not bother most people. More importantly is that there are not a physical buttons for brightness adjustments. This would not be terrible if the software under Windows 10 worked correctly, which after a week I could not get it to work. This means the monitor is stuck at a default brightness lever that is less than ideal for any room that has lights on. The integrated stand is great and allows the monitor to be used in portrait or landscape mode. The drawback is that in its' current implementation there was a lot of added thickness to the monitor. I can see this stand working exactly the same in a slimmer case, and maybe a future refresh of this monitor might do that. I also like the placement of the USB port as it allow you to hide the wire regardless of monitor orientation.

I’ve had several over the years and this one has definitely been improved. It’s not for everyday use but good for when I travel. It’s about the same size as a typical laptop and fits into my bag with the laptop.

Screen was made very well and looked nice.very hard to get both screen to work seperate. Price is great

It is good for how much it cost, it get the job done. What I don’t like, it is bulky and low brightness. Even after increasing brightness it is still dim.

Not sure if the product itself is worth it for the money, if you’re looking for a decent picture quality ( that doesn’t look faded or blurred) don’t bother: this is a very basic second monitor that is extremely portable and allows me to use two screens for reading/admin type work. Not recommended for those needing a media type secondary. Value for money, C- Took a long time to ship after going to the store with none in stock, then more delays in shipping. Definitely cheap, better price might be $50.
