MNN 2.5K Portable Monitor 13.3" 2560x1600P UHD USB-C HDMI Laptop Monitor, 100% sRGB IPS Computer Gaming Display HDR Travel Monitor w/Speakers & Smart Cover for Laptop Xbox PS5 Switch PC Phone

This monitor "just works". It has worked with every device I have thrown at it: Mac (M processors), MS Surface, portable media player, Android tablet, and Android phone. I haven't pushed it for time (ie: no long sessions "on the road"), so I cannot comment on how it affects battery life, but I have used it both at home and on the road (for short periods of time). For productivity it is great. It is amazing how much more you can get done with a 2nd monitor. Having one that is light and fits in your backpack is awesome. It also works great when you are meeting with someone and need to show them what you are seeing on the screen, but there is no (comfortable) way to have them sit to see the actual laptop. You simply hand them the portable monitor (or turn it around on the table), and mirror your screen. Lots of pros: * light * good clarity * simple (ie: just works with everything so far) * very useful in a lot of situations * uses laptop power, so no extra cables required and no power brick * OPTION to use a power supply to save laptop power Cons: * the stand is basically a fold of the protective case. It is highly annoying. It doesn't seem to fold properly and when you do get it right, it still doesn't "feel" right. The case/stand is annoying, but I would buy this device again. Highly recommended.

I have been looking for a travel external screen that I can use not only when I travel for work, but when I working from the dining room table or other stable surface other than at my office desk. This external monitor is just what I was looking for. It comes with a USB-C video/charging cable the connects to your MacBook usb-c connector and then it comes with a HDMI to mini-HDMI cable and a regular charging usb-c cable and charging brick. I only need the "thunderbolt" cable then I connect my MacBook cable into the monitor and it powers the monitor and charges the MacBook Air at the same time. The screen resolution is a perfect match 2560 × 1600 to the MacBook native resolution. I am not a monitor expert, but the quality of this external monitor is very close to the quality of my MacBook Air screen. It works perfect for using Microsoft Desktop to connect to my Work laptop that sits in a cradle on my desk. The external monitor make it feel like I have two laptops with one keyboard and mouse, my MacBook Air and my work laptop which is Windows 10. Yes it comes with speakers, but they aren't as quality as the MacBook Air so I don't have them on. I played "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" and the display kept up with the action and the blacks look inky and the color in HD looks good. Black Panther in 4k and IMAX enhanced looks great. The monitor cover doubles as the required stand as this external monitor doesn't physically hook onto the MacBook at all so you cannot perch this in your lap, you must have a stable surface to place it on. It is light-weight and the cover/stand protects the screen when stored. I feel this external monitor exceeds my expectations for the price.

I thought it was just ok, then after 6 months a green vertical line appears on the monitor, cutting the monitor in half. Common issue when cheap ribbon used internally. Not recommended!

Supports passthrough charging of Surface Pro 11. I didn't see any mentions of passthrough charging. I haven't tried with higher wattage devices. The manual doesn't even mention passthrough charging. Working great so far. Love the size, big enough for my desk but ultra portable along with a Surface Pro. The high resolution combined with small physical size means crisp text. It's also very bright... lots of these portable monitors mention HDR support but this is the first one where I believe it, maybe HDR400. Also has Freesync support, for anyone using it with a gaming device that might not quite hit 60fps. Super light, both USB-C ports can be input/output. Has a single button for power (although it powers on when it detects input over USB-C), and a rocker for quick setting selection and navigating through the OSD. Can be set to sRGB. HDR was locked to Auto most of the time, maybe because of the USB-C connection. The stand is flimsy but really didn't suck. It's hard to tell how it works from pictures, but you just flip the front cover over to the back... the top of the front cover sticks to the back with (weak) magnets, then the bottom 2/3rd's hinges out as the stand. The small rectangular cut out is for stability. It won't stay on your lap, but a stable desk is no problem. It's not SUPER adjustable, but I got lots of viewing angles whether it was 1 foot or 3 feet away from me.

This was awesome until it wasn't. All of the sudden after using it for 8 months, it just quit working. My computer doesn't recognize that it's plugged in and the monitor won't stay on long enough for me to do any troubleshooting with it. Other monitors work fine w/my computer, so I know it's not a computer issue. For such an expensive product, I expect it to last longer than it has.

It took me quite a while to figure out the best resolution to match my 2019 Macbook Pro. The preset resolution made everything VERY tiny on screen, but after getting that set it works great.

Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! This screen is perfect for travel or home office, given how slim, compact and light weight it is. I am quite impressed with the panel and the color quality and brightness it produces, as well as the clarity. Small text is crisp and readable. Another neat feature, if your computer supports it, is it only needs to be connected to your laptop with 1 cable (USB-C to USB-C) which makes it so fast to hook up, and the screen turns on almost immediately when connected. My work requires two screens to be fully productive, so I will definitely be bringing this screen with me on future work trips - game changer. Highly recommend.
