After having tried smaller - lighter dual screens that attach to each side of my laptop - I found the quality was just not there - seemed a bit of a light weight - even a bit cheap. This unit is SOLID and the picture quality is just as good as my standard 24 monitor(s) I use on my tower system. The downside is the weight of the unit (Portable Monitor M156F01); however, both my 15 Lenovo laptop and this monitor fit in my backpack - just a bit heavier - yet still manageable. Overall - If the screen is as good as I think it is - I will probably sell my tower and 2 standard monitors and use my laptop and this screen as both my primary and portable system. Overall - my initial impression is very positive with the quality and the price, which was over $100 less than comparable screens.

As an editor, I need a close approximation of picture quality and colors (even though Im not color grading with it)... and everyone needs it bright enough or whats the point? Out of the box and after initial settings, I didnt think it was bright enough and was ALMOST GOING TO RETURN IT ... BUT AFTER TESTING other settings I discovered these settings made all the difference: select BRIGHTNESS ->ECO -> MOVIE MODE. With MOVIE MODE and USER color settings (instead of cool or warm) the MNN best replicates my MACBOOK PRO M1 display. The other modes/configurations were simply not bright enough even though at 100%. So NOW I I can say that it seems fantastic. I purchased at 42% off - $116 - so a huge value for the price. I am considering getting another but I dont really need another - but thats how much I like it. I got the monitor stand Amazon said others were buying with it - and its great. Its the TriPro Tablet Stand -Portable Monitor Stand,4.72 for $24.99. THE ONLY ISSUE SO FAR: Turning it vertically with the TriPro stand (that the MNN recommends as well) means that the USB C cord barely clears the surface - which means the cord could push the monitor out of the stand. To avoid that, I am limited on the tilting. I want to have it more upright but have to have it at about a 20(?) degree angle in order for the cord to not get stuck. BUT I WILL RESEARCH a different USB C cord that doesnt protrude vertically. UPDATE: I got a new cord for $11 to clear the bottom when monitor is displayed vertically on lowest level of stand. (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FY32M1Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details) HOWEVER, I did not realize this stand slides upward so a new cord wasnt entirely necessary but still good to have for this lowest display.

Ive had this for a couple weeks now - and used it for an impromptu business pitch... plugged it into my laptop - got my stuff open - turned the monitor to face the other person and went through the slide deck... Fantastic! Sooo much easier than dealing with a projector! And, having a 2nd monitor while traveling makes my productivity improve as well!

Just purchase this portable extended monitor for my laptop and it works great. Easy to setup, UI did even have to ready the manual in-depth to set it up. I had two 17 monitor that I was using for work but had to had return them to my job since I was not going be working for again. I got this monitor which is a smaller screen but is portable. I can it with me where I want to work from and not have worry about struggling to take the the big 17 inc monitor with me.

Incredibly high quality monitor to compliment a laptop. Ive become accustom to working with two screens at my hone desk, but as travel is coming back into my work week, I was going crazy trying to work off just my work-issued laptop. I needed something compact, travel friendly, and high-functioning. This monitor is all that and more. No thicker than an ipad, this monitor easily fits in my backpack and is basically a plug-and-play; all the possible wire needs come included in the box, as well as a protective covering that doubles as a monitor stand. the color, brightness and function is all top quality - there is no mouse lagging, no pixelated windows, or disconnect between the monitors, which i use as one large continuous desktop. The one area for improvement is the cover; while great for protection, its not the strongest stand on its own, i will likely purchase a supplemental stand that is slightly more sturdy to keep the monitor upright while in use. Highly recommend this product for those office workers who are remote and on the go.

Only issue is that I can’t seem to get the case to work as a stand. That’s minor esp. for the price.

I purchased this to use while traveling. It works great attached to my laptop so that I have two monitors. The colors are amazing. My son connected it to his Switch and was very impressed with it that he ordered one for himself. I also connected it to my Samsung phone and it worked great with DEX. I believe I will get a lot of use from the monitor.

This produce has been a real game changer for me. I travel for work quite extensively and spend a great amount of time away from my desk, this portable monitor allows me to be as productive as I am at my desk by allowing me to have dual monitors. I just spent a week in a conference room with my co-workers and by the end of the first day all of them placed Amazon orders for the same monitor. It’s light weight and fits in my backpack, the cover/ stand is great as well. You receive all the different cables and connections you need to begin using the monitor immediately. The packaging of this item is almost as impressive as the product itself, I almost felt bad throwing away the box. Overall, this monitor is amazing and I cannot see myself living without it.

Bought this because I was going to be traveling for a month and working the whole time. Usually need many windows open at once, so having a second monitor separate from laptop screen is crucial. This monitor is much cheaper than most popular options on the market and I wasn’t too concerned with picture quality so chose to go with this. It does the job perfectly for my needs. If you’re just looking for extra screen space and not concerned about having the highest quality picture this is a perfect choice

I purchased this monitor to use as a portable second monitor for my MacBook Pro. I was happy that it came with a short connector that did not need extra power or a dongle to make the cables work with my Mac. I wanted this monitor for traveling and for working away from my desk space. So far, its been nice. The only minor irritation is that the cover/stand it comes with isnt very sturdy. The monitor sometimes slips when standing up. If traveling, it also needs to be in some sort of a travel case for extra protection. Since I work outside, I also need to brighten the screen, but once I do, it works pretty well, even outdoors. Overall, its a nice monitor for the price!
