I really like this monitor. Suits my purpose. Works well with my MacBook Pro Laptop. Both have USB C ports. Plug and play. Had another monitor that I bought from Amazon that I had to return as it quit working; no signal. Been using this one for 2 days without ant problems. Hope it continues that way and I’m sure it will. If not, Best Buy has extended its return date due to the coronavirus stay at home order.

I wanted a light weight monitor to use with my MacBook pro when traveling. This monitor scores on compact, lightweight, and resolution, but the folding stand is basically useless. I purchased a Parblo stand that works perfectly with it, but was another $35 investment.

Picture looks great and super thin to match the laptop. Not happy that the price is so high and the stand so cheap. at that price it should have had a better stand or touch screen. still a great option to avoid lugging another full size monitor.

This product is awesome! It's super-slim and with the USB Type C interface keeps my standard USB ports open for other devices. The HD resolution allows a lot of content to be displayed on it also. The monitor just worked when I plugged it in.
I did already have the Display Link driver installed on my Windows 10 laptop from my previous USB monitor though. The magnetic cover doubles as a stand also. I only wish that it had a soft sleeve like their standard USB model did just for extra protection.

I always felt tied to the office because I use a 13" laptop for meetings at client locations but was used to dual monitors for office work. Having this portable monitor has made me so much more mobile. I've also used it in presentations to duplicate my display. I love that it only requires the one usb cable for power and data. The cover/stand works well. The bezel seems a bit flimsy/creaks when handled. And, touch screen would be a cool upgrade. Overall, though, exactly what I wanted and decent for the price point.

Needed an additional monitor for my MacBook Pro for working from home. This product fits the bill perfectly... roughly the same size as the MacBook, easy plug and play with usb-c, and portable. Only downside is it isn’t quite as bright and vivid as the retina on the MacBook.

Works great with my Macbook Pro Retina and hooked up via the included USB-C cable with no problem!
Pros:
• Works right out of the box in both portrait and landscape mode
• Comes with protective sleeve/stand
• Great display quality
• One button for menu/display/contrast/etc
Cons:
• Wish this came with an adapter or additional cables to make this work with my girlfriend's Macbook air
• The frame is rather wide and wish it was a slimmer bezel

I bought this in March when I found out I would be working from home. It has been a great purchase. It connects really easily with only a USB-C cable and doesn't need an additional power source. It can also be transported really easily. The purchase was definitely worth it.

I purchased this as a secondary monitor. I am extremely happy with this purchase. I am enjoying the additional screen real estate and the fact it doesn't need a power cord is an added bonus. Power comes via USB-C so be sure you have this port or an adaptor.

I can't figure out how to adjust the brightness, its a little dull. And I wish I would have looked for a touch screen, miss that feature! But the stand that converts to a cover is great making this super easy to take it with you.

This is a really good portable monitor, and I like it very much. The only thing that could be better is the stand, which is a bit subject to collapsing and isn't as adjustable as it could be.

This monitor exceeded my expectations and has greatly improved my productivity using my laptop. The device is plug and play to USB-C ports. Older laptops without this port need not purchase. The screen is bright and right-sized. Your experience may vary depending on your purpose.

A good little device but the USB c cable will break after a while (probably being twisted too often). Best buy don't have them but you can find second generation replacement audio and video for less that $14
I am happy with mine after 6 month usage (nearly daily)
