Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update 11/28/2021: The monitor mysteriously stopped working when my Mac updated to OS Catalina. At first, I thought it was an OS compatibility issue. The problem is the USB C cable. The new OS requires a Thunderbolt 3 cable for the monitor to work. I swapped out the cable with a Thunderbolt 3 cable and we're back in business! I suspect upgrading the USB C cable will resolve the Windows issue too. ------ Previous Review ----- I've been using this monitor for the past few days. Initial impression: very happy with this monitor. A little background. I'm a software designer working from the road (random AirBNB's, hotels, public spaces & co-working spaces). My regular work setup consists of a powered standing desk, two 24in external monitors in addition to the 3rd monitor from my 15in MBP. I find that losing the additional monitors significantly lowered my productivity. My requirements for a portable monitor were: 1) Portability. I carry a 20L backpack by Peak Design. My whole workstation setup needed to fit in that pack. 2) Minimal additional gear. I didn't want to carry more stuff with me. I already had too much as it. 3) Seamless performance. The monitor needed to make my user experience better; not detract from it. In the past, I've tried using my iPad Pro as a second monitor. Even with a wired connection, it had too much lag. Pros: 1) Portability: It's very light with a footprint that is slightly larger than my 15in MBP. It fit snugly into the laptop slot of my pack. Barely notice the addition. 2) Minimal additional gear: The only cable needed for this monitor is a USB-C cable. Power and video flow through this one cable. 3) Ease of setup: For my MBP, it was plug and play. No dongle. No additional software to install. Super simple. 4) Excellent design: The cover/stand is ingenious. The cover becomes the stand (one less thing to carry) and attaches to the monitor magnetically producing flexible viewing angle choices. 5) Performance: No lag. Good picture (I'm comparing it to the retina screen on MBP). The color reproduction is acceptable. I plan to use it as my secondary monitor. Cons: None yet. Final verdict: I would buy again.
