> 3 dayThe device is easy to use and set up. HDR works really well as well and can run games like Minecraft and COD on my Xbox without an issue. Only reason not 5 stars is it has a slight discoloration on the bottom left corner. I’m guessing from being dropped when shipped.

> 3 dayI have tried several monitors including one 4K touch monitor. This one is a great monitor for a very reasonable price. One issue I have faced - either from KYY OR from Amazon fulfillment - I ordered a black monitor but received a grey one. I ordered it again and received another grey instead of a black. This is however a fulfillment issue, so I cannot penalize the KYY team OR the monitor for it. I highly recommend this monitor to anyone looking for one.

> 3 dayLike everyone else who works remotely at times, I end up with countless windows open and find it difficult to do my work on one small 14 laptop screen (not to mention aging and my eyes). I got this because I was traveling and didnt want to take the whole week for vacation. I got EXACTLY what I wanted out of this product. Let me cover the good and the things you should know. All the cords you need to hook this monitor up come with it. I would love to connect it to my computer via USB4 port, but my I use my USB4 port to charge my computer when I travel because the charger is so light and small. So I fell back on the HDMI cord. Came in the package. Boom! Power supply was also included. I connected mine to my computers USB 3.0 port and ran the USB-C cable into the monitor. Power on! Lots bad has been said about the case. I found it very functional. It may not have your ideal viewing angle, but it worked fine for me using the case. It wouldnt fail to capsize in the event of a 7.0 earthquake, but it worked fine in my week-long use. So what do I not like? Well, the monitor is not a high-end one with mind-numbing resolution and clarity. Its good. Plenty good for work on websites, documents, spreadsheets and the like, but if I were a traveling videographer or photographer, Id want something more high end. For me? Worked fine. So for the price I paid, I cant be more satisfied. Sure, Id love one that was larger, but this one fits in my laptop bag no problem. Id love one with a built-in battery so I wouldnt have to plug in the bulky HDMI cord. Id love a better case/stand. But really, this is a solid device, and if you shop for bargains, youre going to have to accept some compromises. With that in mind, I can wholeheartedly recommend this monitor to anyone needing some visual real estate for work, especially while traveling. Its thin, light, functional and it wont break the bank. Thats a lot of winning for such a small screen.

> 3 dayIve only had my new portable monitor for a few days, but so far Im extremely pleased with the device. It is exactly what I was hoping for. It is an extended display for my Windows 11 Dell laptop that only requires one cable (USB C for signal and power). The picture quality is as good as my laptop. The brightness is as good as my laptop. The colors are certainly satisfactory, but Im an business user, so I cant speak to the color quality for graphic design and photo editing. My only minor complaint is that case/stand. As a case, it is OK, but certainly doesnt provide any drop protection. All it is protecting against is scratches and dents while its in my laptop bag. Is that so bad, however? Because my laptop doesnt have any drop protection when it is out of the bag either. The case doubles as the stand and it is OK at best. It does hold up the monitor, using magnets and friction, but it would take much of a bump to send it flying or falling. Reading the instructions is helpful, as many people probably dont realize the bottom flap flips over for extra holding power. The weird thing is that it seems the magnet has reverse polarity from what it should. The top of the back of the case, if aligned with the top of the back of the monitor, actually repels instead of attracts. It still seems to work ok, but I do flip the screen around backward when I put it away, otherwise the case would be held about 1/2 from the screen due to magnet forces, instead of pulling tight. I think almost all of these monitors (other brands as well) have a bunch of negative reviews from people who didnt understand what they were doing. Many of them dont have a fully featured USB C cable capable of providing power and picture on a single cable. These folks will need two cables, one for HDMI and one for power. The monitor does come with both cables, just in case. I get the impression everyone expected single-cable operation, despite not knowing what their device (laptop, phone, etc.) would support. Some people even complained that a special cable was required for using it with an IPad or iPhone. Understand, this isnt the monitor manufacturers fault. It is the device manufacturer... or the user knowledge. Furthermore, USB-C just doesnt have very clear designations and specifications for everyday users. Lastly, some bad reviews are from people who purchased this for use sitting at their desk. Know what youre buying! There are better and cheaper options if all someone wants to do is use this at their desk. This is a great option for portability, but not what youd choose to buy if it is always going to sit on your desk and never move.

> 3 dayOnly had this about 12 hours now, and I am extremely happy with it. I only bought it for my XBox One S, my Switch, and the XBox Series X I am getting in a few days. This monitor pretty much does everything as advertised, except regardless of what it says ob Amazon, you will need headphones or an external speaker, which I already was prepared for. Picture quality is excellent, I am loving the 1080p, so much better than the GAEMS monitor (housed inside a big bulky case). My only real complaint is there is NO REMOTE CONTROL IR functionality, which the GAEMS device did have. Id have been willing to pay a little extra for one, but this is really a small gripe compared to how excellent the picture looks. Also, I absolutely love the fact that I dont need the HDMI port to connect my Switch, it has full function USB-C (unlike any of my phones or tablets, however I think my iPad might actually work, Ill have to check it out). VERY HAPPY with this purchase so far. AND the price was very reasonable.

> 3 dayUPDATE: Kathy was extremely helpful in getting the issue resolved. She made this customer extremely appreciative and happy! 5-Stars on customer service. I travel a lot for work, so I needed something light and easy to carry. This fits the size and weight requirements. The picture quality is good, the unit is easy to put in a laptop bag, and the single USB-C cable was a plus for data and power. However, no matter what I tried, the phone will not see this as an external display. I have a Google Pixel 5a, maybe the phone is the issue, but I cant find how the phone is the issue. Recently, the USB-C ports stopped working. I have replaced the cable, and still no luck in getting it to work. I am now connected via the HDMI cable with the power cord to get it to work. Summary. Until this issue has been rectified, I cant recommend this to any one. I will reach out to the seller to see if they can replace the unit. I will update this review once I have more information.

> 3 dayI bought this monitor for my frequent trips, but it worked so well that it’s become my primary monitor at home, and when I travel.
