My only complaint is the instructions are a little confusing, in fact I gave up with them and just figured it out. Also the cables they provided are good but I needed an mini hdmi to mini hdmi to get it working which I had to purchase separately. I havent used it long enough top commnet on the reliability. Aprt fomr that it seems very good and sturday love the case

Awesome screen just be aware not all cables are created equal. It wont work with any old cable only high quality cables or the ones it comes with. The one it comes with can transmit data AND power, but old cables will make it automatically default to sleep mode.

This monitor is fantastic for software development and educational purposes. I have not used it for playing video games, but the color is vibrant and the brightness is great. The pixel density if just as good.

The picture quality is very good it does the basic job I intended it for. However, I cannot get it to work with a USB-C to USB-C connection. Running HDMI to Mini-HDMI is great but that requires using the ARZOPA external power supply which I hoped to avoid (and theres not supplied USB-B to USB-C cable to go from the supplied charger to the device. Fortunately I had one laying around.) The attached stand is a little flaky but works fine when you figure it out. Except if youre on a slick surface, you need to be careful. Their online help site, a few generic FAQs and email support only is pretty weak. The bottom line is that I gave it four stars instead of three because once I got past these issues, its a good very portable second monitor which should travel well.

Unbeatable for the price. Perfect for a portable or small monitor.

Great monitor. It was super easy to install. Because I have a MacBook Pro, I was expecting to having to buy adapters to connect the monitor—but no! All connectors needed were in the box. The monitor is super easy to use. The quality of the display is fantastic, particularly considering the price of this monitor relative to competitors’.

This screen does its job. But being in creative field its hard to ignore the quality of the picture, its definitely lower quality, so I wouldnt pull up a photo or any design on it to work from that screen. Also when I first plugged it in the screen type and everything was extremely small - shrank! Impossible to read! I was quite disappointed ... I figured you can sort of adjust the screen size to match different screen type. It is not perfect as it distorted everything a bit. But for that price and being able to use secondary screen which is very light and thin while traveling I cant complain that much! If you do some remote work from time to time while traveling, this little external monitor is great and wont take much space in your laptop case! I can fit my 16 laptop, this external monitor, mouse pad all in one laptop sleeve without any issue!

Crisp clear screen with small bezels. Uses USB for power and USB or mini HDMI for video. An excellent monitor in general, and even more so, considering the price.

This was a top ten purchase for me. I had been using a larger monitor in my home office, but had to look around my laptop to see it, and then not very well with my vision. This monitor allows me to have the second screen right next to my laptop (Surface 8). The time it saves in copying and pasting, keeping track of emails while conducting a class and anything else a second monitor is good for is significant. I wanted this smaller monitor as it is the same size as the laptop and fits all of my travel bags. The cover is nice and can be used for a stand, but I purchased a small foldable stand to give more stability. Key points about his monitor: it is powered by a USB C cable from the laptop; it does not have a battery; this is not a problem as this only serves as a second monitor and has no other capabilities (WIFI/BT). A higher level USB C cable must be used (3.1). I tried other cables I had, but it only worked with the included USB C cable until I bought some higher level cables. Settings: I was playing with the settings and made this discovery. When the monitor has the HDR setting set to AUTO, it will deactivate come other settings. I went back and forth with their support until this was determined. At first, I though there was a problem with the setting menu button. I may but another to keep on the home desk and not to unpack after each trip.

After two months traveling with this monitor in my backpack I will answer the two questions I had the day I purchased it. Durability: Though your level of wear & tear will vary. This monitor has held up well traveling next to my laptop in a backpack Image quality: my primary use for this is as a travel monitor for my Xbox and Nintendo. What I have found is the overall refresh rate and image quality is good, but the aspect ratio is ever so slightly off. The result is a slight vertical stretch.
