Greater than one weekI use this display as a second monitor and it is true that the screen size is a little more narrower that a 16:10 but then it has more vertical resolution which suits me fine for the work I do which is mostly editing documents of different types. I made a frame for it so I could mount it on my VESA monitor arm, but for most the included foldable cover and stand will likely work alright. The screen is clear and nice to work with, I see that some people were complaining about having to turn off HDS mode to make the picture brighter; however, on the one I received HDR was off by default and in fact I did not have to change any settings. I plugged it in and it worked right out of the box on my Windows 10 machine. For me this was a good purchase and good value.

18-12-2024I bought this on sale and am using it as an external display for an iPad 11 Pro M2. Id say the image quality is very close to what Im getting on the iPad display! I didnt think 2.5k would be all that much noticeably better than 1080 on a 16in display, but its so good that Id trust it for photo and video editing as the main display. Ive only had it a couple weeks, so I cant comment on longevity, but so far... highly recommended!

> 3 dayIm using this with my laptop as a third monitor for my office setup so no gaming or or any high demand activity. overall it is a great monitor for my purposes. I really like that you can use usb-c for both video input and power.

> 3 dayEstoy muy sorprendo por la calidad de imagen (trabajo en esta área) y como pueden ver en las imágenes al compararlas con un MacBook Pro de 16 (2019) se ven muy similares, incluso en brillo (Macbook al 90% de brillo y pantalla al 100%) Sorprende la fidelidad del color y el contraste y profundidad de los negros, si bien la pantalla del Macbook se ve algo mejor, no hay que olvidar que hablamos de una pantalla de U$140. Lo malo son los controles, poder subir el brillo de 5 (defecto) a 10 fue algo difícil. En cuanto a la resolución es efectivamente 2520 x 1680, y se ve muy bien. La pantalla demoro 7 días en llegar a Santiago de Chile.

> 3 dayPicture quality is actually great. For MacOS I HIGHLY recommend installing BetterDisplay, go to settings, enable the Set up native smooth resolution scaling and fix the native panel resolution to the actual native resolution of 2520x1680, and then use the resolution slider for something you like. Also you can power and send video signal through a single usb-c cable which is nice. The biggest, and probably only, problem the monitor has is the audio. And I dont mean the internal speakers, which understandably sound horrible, but also the sound through the headphone jack is complete trash for whatever reason. It sounds thin, like EQd for the internal speakers, and theres no way to fix this, so if you intend to use this as a portable gaming monitor for a console, make sure you can extract the audio with something else than the headphone jack because it really is unusable. I was not expecting this to be the case but there we are.

> 3 dayGot this 2.5K Portable Monitor, picture is beautiful and this is the thinnest monitor I have ever seen, it is literally as thin as the modern cell phone (that iPhone you are reading this review on), the bottom part thickens out a bit to accommodate connection jacks. But one problem, for me at least as some may not care for this and use it as portable, because it is so thin it cannot accommodate VESA mount. I have reached out to the seller and to my surprise the seller worked with me to resolve the issue, exchanging it for 1200P. Please note their 1200P and 17 models do have VESA mounts. 1200P brightness is 500 nits brightness which is also respectable. So to sum up I think MagicRaven makes great monitors and stands by their product.
