> 3 dayI got this partly out of curiosity and was pleasantly surprised that it works really well with my phone, that being said I cant get a picture of it because I usually use my phone for that. There is very little lag between the two and the speakers sound really nice. I did try a little experiment just to see if it would work with my thinkpad and despite my best efforts, it would not, but I have not tried it with my other computers yet, so it might just be this particular one. I also tried it with my Amazon fire tablet, just out of curiosity, and it didnt work. My phone is a huawei mate 20 x and Im probably going to be using this to watch shows on a bigger screen with it, it works great for that. :) This monitor does have some weight to it and feels really solid, all ports and speakers work great, and the overall color of the display is very nice.

> 3 dayI misread the description and didn’t realize I was getting a monitor sized for a small MacBook. I have a 16” Windows based laptop. The good news is that it doesn’t just work on MacBooks. The monitor comes with a base plate that can be attached to the back of your laptop screen so that it becomes part of your laptop. It connects via a USB-C connection and is easy to connect and disconnect. There is a USB-C cord built in so that you don’t have a long cord to worry about when it is installed on your laptop. There is also a magnetic metal cover plate to protect the screen from damage during transport when closed. I didn’t want the screen permanently affixed to my laptop, so I use it as a separate unit. I use a regular USB-C to USB-C cable to connect as I need a little more distance than the built in one provides. This cable came with the monitor as well. I actually use the monitor in a portrait orientation with the baseplate as a base on the table next to my laptop. It works perfectly for my needs. The display size is only 6” x 10.25”, though, because of the size I ordered. Next time I’d get a larger one if possible. The monitor gets its power from the laptop so there are no other power supplies needed. The monitor has a built in speaker that can also be used for your audio output. Now for the display. The monitor has a matte anti-glare display. I’m used to a glossy high-resolution screen, so the matte display is not my favorite. The display colors are not as true either. The gray shows up with a pinkish hue unless you turn the brightness up and then it’s almost blue. There is a single wheel control for all of the settings. If you push it, a menu will come up that lets you adjust brightness, contrast, color, and a myriad of other settings through pushing and scrolling. There is even a low blue light setting, but that makes the display very yellow. I haven’t figured out the best mix of red, green, and blue to give me the white background that I want, but since I only use the monitor for text (mainly spreadsheets) I’m not as worried about the color.

> 3 dayProbably the best investment this year so far. Love this portable monitor so much. Smooth bezel, is lightweight, and fit my Mac. No extra cable hang around my laptop. Easily fit into my handbag and backpack. Come with two screen protectors one made of metal and the other made of leather. Best purchase this year!!!

> 3 dayI got the 16.2 for my 2019 MacBookPro 16. I was excited when it arrived and the packaging seemed like it was good quality. But I never got to use it because it does NOT fit my MacBook. So I will be returning it.

> 3 dayIll start by stating that I do not own a macbook. I got this knowing that it may not fit on my laptop perfectly, but also wanted to use it with my phone. the screen does not work at all with my HP laptop,because no all USB-C ports support video out. This is not the fault of this device, rather that of vague specifications and lack of standards. ive conneted this to several dell laptops at work, as well as my samsung chromebook, all of which seem to work great. i connected it to my phone (Galaxy s21 ultra) and it poped right up. this screen has a short, built in cable at the bottom so that you can use the port on the side for an additional power source. this does not work on my phone. i have to plug the single cable from my phone into the side port. this means that there is no way to charge the phone while using it, which is a shame. the picture quality is good and the screen seems to be responsive. the case itself seems well made. im planning on keeping this in my vehicle, along with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse so that I can use my phone like a pc when i need a little more screen area.
