Pros: -Works well and immediately with modern laptops, for me. I see lots of people here saying they had issues. I am someone who has tons of laptops. I mostly use a MacBook Pro 16 and a Lenovo Yoga Book 9i. It works right away when plugged into both of those, and it stays connected. The only laptop I couldn't get it to work with is an older HP, I think an HP Pavilion 13" that still has USB 2.0 ports and an HDMI port. The HDMI cables included did not get these monitors working. The other laptops have all USB-C ports. Regardless, I literally work all day M-F on the MacBook with one of the two monitors, and then I disconnect it and use it with the Lenovo laptop the rest of the day and on the weekends. I am typing right now using one of the monitors with the Lenovo. During the week, I get more work done faster with these because I no longer have to struggle to find which Window or tab I need. -Personally, I'm pleasantly surprised with the screen quality. I saw the "So Very Bad" review talking about how outdated the quality is, and externally that's probably true (i.e. the huge gray bezel and all that). But I seriously would not and did not expect much from a $300 dual set of external monitors that surely are not made in the US. The price is more than I wanted to pay, for sure, but there are many other more expensive monitors out there with less to offer. And I remind myself that I'm getting two monitors here. All that to say...I stream videos and watch sports games on these, and the quality is HD, the streaming and rendering is actually smoother than watching videos on my Lenovo monitors, and it's just overall better than I anticipated. Yeah, the brightness is not as much as I want, but it's also fairly average once you turn it up to 100 like Windows laptops that came out a couple of years ago. If you're used to MacBook/Apple quality, I can see how you'd be upset. But then, you'd probably hate most Windows laptops and their monitors. It's not specifically these monitors that are "poor quality." The OLED monitors on my Lenovo are literally the best I've ever had, and prior to having jobs that send me MacBooks I was 100% a Windows user. These monitors are like tons of Windows laptop monitors, and MacBook monitors are better than Windows ones, usually. So, something to consider if you care a lot about monitor quality and brightness, especially if you're a MacBook and iPad user only. -I LOVE that these monitors do not have to be placed on the laptop. That means you really can use it with absolutely any laptop. I literally only use these monitors in the arms when I'm at my desk working because I don't have enough space on my desk to sit them down on it. And it's nice that you don't have to use the kickstand to use them and prevent them from falling or sliding like with other monitors I looked at before buying this. I click them in place, arrange the angle and get to work. One monitor literally hangs out in the air and is never in danger of falling. The rest of the time, I sit one monitor on my bed or on a chair and watch videos/sports or read. Cons: -It says it works with tablets and phones but does not include the right cables or adapters for this with Apple products. It mostly includes cables I don't need. I get that they can't really know everyone's setup, but everyone knows that most iPads and iPhones have a different type of USB port than the ones on the MaxFree and many newer laptops. The HDMI adapter I bought that got it to work creates the need for too many cable connections. **I had contacted Support about this, too, before finding an adapter because I was wondering if there was a way to make it work with everything they include, and they never responded.** -The arms that hold the monitors are a bit hard to turn, and you're limited in which arm you can put which monitor into. It cuts down on flexibility in how you can use/turn the monitors. -Sometimes, I can't get the monitors out of the arms without standing up from my desk and pulling upwards (i.e. sitting down and pulling upwards doesn't work a lot of the time). So, the arms and removing the monitors seem to require strength I don't have or I'm just a weakling. -You can't adjust the rotation on the monitor where you adjust the brightness and some other settings, as far as I can tell, or just have it adjust automatically when you turn the monitor in your hands. You have to dig through the display settings on your laptop, which adds work/difficulty to using a monitor with the width going vertically. Really wish the rotation would automatically adjust when you turn the laptop like iPads and now many laptops do. -The kickstands are just not sized right, making them semi-worthless. The ones on the base where you sit your laptop are too small and won't stay up in some cases. Even on my desk, I can't use them and can't get the type of angle I want for my laptop even if I could because they're so small. The ones on the monitors are too thin, making it harder to sit the monitors somewhere like on your bed. My monitors have fallen several times, though luckily back onto a cushioned pillow--I do think it fell on the floor once, though, but luckily it's okay. Very flimsy stands, and I may end up having to buy something to make sitting the monitors down outside of the arms more stable. I guess it's fine on a desk or table, but I don't use these outside of the arms on a desk or table since I don't have the space. It's kind of like they expect a less-than-1"-wide stand to hold up a 14" monitor. This is also connected to my 2nd con, because one of the things I'd do to make up for the stands being crap if I could is put the right monitor in the left arm and stream videos/sports that way after work/on the weekends, since that arm is closer to my bed. Personally Don't Care: -Yeah, yeah, it's kind of heavy to carry. Not an issue for me. And even so, what's really important? Being able to extend the screens and have flexibility or it being 3-6 lbs or whatever it is to carry two screens? And for a lower price than many other dual monitor sets. To me, you really don't even need to take the base and arms with you, if you can find a big enough table/workspace to just sit the monitors on them with stability using the kickstands. I'd just find a way to protect the monitors in the carrying case and keep it moving. Nothing is perfect. As far as taking a laptop, too, I'd just get one of those big backpacks for my back and put everything in it. It takes some thinking/creativity and maybe buying something else, but there are ways to make this work on the go. -Audio quality is low and awful (like, WAY worse than any laptop), but you can just use your laptop's speakers. At least one of my laptops--I think the MacBook--automatically defaults to these speakers, though, when I plug in one of these monitors and I'm not sure why. Need to look into this. Most Wanted -Touch screens -Better kickstands -Easier/better ways to connect to iPads and iPhones that were not released yesterday -Auto rotation Read more

Adding screens to either side of my laptop (MacBook Pro, 2019, 16") is a GAME CHANGER! What I Like/Love about this product: A) The unit is SOLID - heavy components, well designed, everything perfected fitted both in use and in its storage base. (Not cheap feeling in any way.) B) The screens are fully supported by the base (or stood on their own kickstands). My laptop is NOT supporting the weight of any element of the screens or their arms. C) The base is handy for heat dissipation. (My laptop runs cooler given their airflow through the screen's base.) D) The base has various extensions for adjusting the angle (on the back) or supporting the keyboard (on the front). Nice touches! E) Setup is easy and sold. Just slide the screens into the arms and "lock" into position. F) Use the screens in either landscape or portrait orientation. I like one of each, thank you. G) So easy to control/configure/arrange through the Mac Settings! I have each of my "3 screens" (laptop + these two extensions) at different resolutions for different reasons -- easy, breezy! I love that, through the Mac Settings, either of the monitors may act either as Window Extension or as Window Mirror. And my Mac can run virtual desktops on each monitor! I have sooooo many new workspaces. -- yippie! H) The screens can be individually angled towards/away from the screen as well as leaned forward/back. I use these adjustments to avoid glare, to share content in collaboration (great! I can collaborate w/out someone breathing down my neck to look over my shoulder -- awesome!!) and more. In short, this is the tool I've long needed. I'm thrilled!! One thing I'd like to request for future consideration: Add a pocket to the carrying case for the cables, please. Thank you!! Read more

I have been using this product about a month, I had no issues with it. Screen is good and light weight you can carry that easily. Product comes with a bag and it's quality is great.

Appearance is good thin and sleek and it fit comfortable to the stand. Display quality is good and it improved my productivity Read more

Everything was good and the product seems sturdy except both of the mini-hdmi ports on both displays didn't work. The screen remains black when plugged in. I tried multiple computers. I also tried swapping to other cables (brand new cables) and that didn't work either. I have a microsoft surface, which cannot handle two USB-C inputs for display, which is why one of them had to be an hdmi connection, and it's a shame that it doesn't work and I can only use one screen at a time, plugged only into the USB-C. I originally thought it was my computer, but after trying multiple computers and multiple cables (the cables work with other monitors), I realized it was the mini-hdmi ports that didn't work on both displays. Has anyone gotten the mini-hdmi ports to work? Do I just have two defective displays? I mean, if one display doesn't work it's the display. If both displays' mini-hdmi ports don't work, it just seems like too much of a coincidence. So I'm not sure what's going on there. Other than that, the product seems to be of good quality. I like the bag that comes with it for carrying, wish it had a place to store cables though. The screens are quite heavy to carry around. The display qualities are decent. I wish there was a touchscreen option. It was easy to set up and I like the fact that the screens are detachable and can be either standalones or rotated to the vertical orientation, this is the one feature that really made it stand out from all the competitors.

Good product, it comes with a leather like sleeve and a retractable metal casing that doubles up as a Laptop stand. The laptop stand also comes with a swiveling frame to hold this monitor which makes the screen viewing angle highly adjustable. The set up was easy and the picture and audio quality is good too. Connecting to a computer or laptop was very simple. It comes with a HDMI to mini HDMI cable, A USB to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-C cable. With two USB-C ports and one mini HDMI port, This device is highly versatile and can connect to many compatible device. Using the USB-C to USB-C connector, it was convenient to connect an iPhone 15 and mirror the display. However, the same could not be achieved using an iPhone 14 and a lightning to USB-C connector. Also, there is no setting facility available on the device itself to change the orientation of the display. The Setting must be made from the source device only. While the display size is 14” the product itself is a little bigger than that at 15”. Also the frame and sleeve are even bigger at 17”. It may be slightly bulky while carrying it around. Read more
