Let me start by saying this monitor is a game-changer for on-the-go gaming and work. The 16.1-inch screen with 144Hz refresh rate makes fast-paced games like Call of Duty buttery smooth. I was skeptical about portable monitors, but the clarity and color vibrancy blew me away when playing HDR-supported games.
The ultra-slim design (just 0.2 inches!) makes it perfect for my backpack. I've used it in coffee shops for spreadsheet work and at friends' places for impromptu gaming sessions with my PS5. The dual-screen capability is fantastic - I can have Slack on one screen while working on documents on the other.
However, I did experience some frustrating flickering issues initially, especially when waking my laptop from sleep. After some cable-swapping and firmware updates (which weren't clearly documented), the problems mostly disappeared. The built-in speakers are terrible as expected, but that's what headphones are for.
The plug-and-play functionality works great with my MacBook, though I did need to purchase a separate USB-C cable as the included one was flimsy. When it works properly, the FreeSync technology eliminates screen tearing beautifully in supported games.
Would I recommend it? Yes, with caveats. If you get a good unit and have patience for minor setup quirks, it's an amazing value portable monitor. But be prepared to possibly deal with some quality control issues - maybe buy from somewhere with easy returns.
