It comes with all the necessary cables and works well as a second monitor for a laptop, as it has the same screen size as most laptops. The image quality is very good and better than the monitor on my ThinkBook, and there are some nice brightness options provided by the side buttons. It's pretty easy to set up (just plug in the two cables, then press the little button). It also comes with a protective case that fits my laptop, making it a nice little freebie It's worth noting, however, that you may need to change your audio settings as it likes to change those when plugged in The stand seems very durable, and it's nice to have the option to change it to vertical display when I'm reading All things considered, the extra £10 this costs compared to other, similar products is definitely worth it, and I would encourage you to buy this if you are a laptop user and you regularly use your laptop to work or study

(£78.95 Dec 2024) Incredibly light, good stand on the back, good connectivity and good enough sound for this form factor. Multi-inputs are brilliant. 2x Usb-c, 1x mini-hdmi, you get a right angled Usb-C with it. It works as a second screen for my laptop and one cable for power and sound/video is awesome - obviously, your laptop MUST have the support for this, not all laptops do. It's also connected via the mini-Hdmi to my desktop, so you can have a second screen option without having to swap cables around or use a switch. The carry case is lovely. You might need to get some extra Usb C cables, definitely worth going for good quality ones. A mini Hdmi adapter is a better shout than a Usb C to mini Hdmi cable, you are for more likely to have a spare Hdmi cable, than a Usb C to mini Hdmi cable lying around, just in case you lose or forget the cable or if the cable fails. Also, U-shaped adapters are the best choice, you can safely route them from the back and that is far better than having 2 or 3 unsightly cables trailing from the side of the screen where they will constantly figure in your peripheral vision. If you need one and can get it for less, just get it. There are lots of cheaper options from stupidly named companies to choose from, don't bother - get one from a trusted brand that has been in the game for a very, very long time. MSI are one of my goto choices for pc hardware, along with Gigabyte, you know what comes out of the box is more likely to last for a long time at a high standard. Being portable, you can take it on your travels with you and you won't notice the weight. Great piece of kit.

Was a bargain at £59.99, finding a great little boost as a second screen for team messaging apps, terminal windows etc. The fact it's incredibly light, portable and comes with a handy sleeve for travel is a lovely bonus

Definitely worth buying very light colors are also good you can change the brightness from buttons speackee is acceptable very helpfull very easy to change the stand position

Perfecto para tener una segunda pantalla y distribuir tus herramientas de edición o ver el resultado de lo que vas editando. No necesita pie ya que lo tiene y sirve en las dos posiciones, horizontal y vertical. Super útil la rosca que trae detrás para que lo puedas montar por ejemplo en un magic arm y en un trípode y así usarlo como segundo monitor conectado a tu monitor de campo en tus rodajes. La calidad no se ve muy buena, es todo plástico, no es aluminio. Pero por el precio no se puede pedir más.

Works great !

Simply the best monitor I've bought so far.

It is perfect for me .
