Mobile Pixels Duex Plus Portable Monitor for Laptops, USB C/USB A Plug and Play 13.3" Laptop Screen Extender

allright, so i don't review stuff much, but anyone who has doubt should read this review. i initially got this monitor because i needed two screen for notes. the thing with power point is that it is reallly a good dictation software. however, when the professor is dictating, i give him the mic and powerpoint does a good job in transcribing. near perfect. however while it's dictating, i don't have the function to write on the slides because dictation will stop. i was looking for a solution, and I emailed the customer service person, and he got back to me real fast. so what i did was extend the screen (you could also mirror the screen). i extended the screen, and then i had two inputs for pointers(one a tablet-xp tablet) and one the mouse. Hence i didn't think this would solve my problem. However i had downloaded the program plural input or something let's me have two mouse. weird, right? That's what i thought. so i extended the screen and somehow windows is smart enough to let me duplicate the environment in the extended screen aka the duex pro. Really smart for windows. so i extend my powerpoint on that screen, and on my original screen, i have the pdf file, and i am writing on. This took a complex scenario to solve, but the solution came not intuitively but with just dumb luck. However let me review the monitor. It is bright, good quality, and the resolution is much better than my dell xps 13 montior which shocked me. the screen also folds nicely inside thus when i am not using it, i can fold it up. I have used the mirror mode, but i like the extend mode a lot better. Realistically i am not lying, it's lying having two computers in one, if you extend the screen, and get the software plural input (free by the way). I must say, this thing i was surprised. It exceeded my expectations. the price---ok...well a little high, but i guess what beats anything is the convenience that comes with this. One of the best things ever made, really. I felt like this thing needed a long review so other customers may benefit from an honest reviewer. I get nothing from this review, but just knowing that somehow i solved my problem which saved me hundreds of hours over the semester.

I have had this additional screen for my laptop for a couple of months now. Works great! Comes with two cords to connect to a USB port and also to connect to a type C port (like the new Samsung Galaxy S10). Comes with 12 circle-shaped magnets that have adhesive on one side to stick to the back of your laptop monitor. You need to use 4 of them, so there are 8 extra. The directions say that these magnets can be removed from your laptop by heating them to loosen the adhesive. I have two laptops, one for travel and one that stays at home, so I have used 8 of the magnets so far, 4 on each laptop. Horizontal Placement: When you follow the directions to place the magnets on the back of your laptop monitor, it says to place them so that this extra monitor will be offset about an inch to the right of your screen--but I would recommend to err on the side of a little too much rather than not enough. Since once the screen is opened it has a hinge that allows the monitor to be angled backwards and forwards. On one of my laptops I placed it sufficiently to where the it is very easy to angle the screen forwards (I haven't really tried backwards), but on the other laptop I underestimated slightly and I have to offset it just a bit off of the magnets to get it to angle forward the way that I need it to. I recommend that you hold it on the back of your laptop with one hand while you slide out the screen and angle it backward and forward to confirm the motion and the correct placement before deciding exactly where you would like to place the magnets. Other than that, the directions for putting the magnets on are pretty foolproof and went very well. Vertical Placement: One other consideration is to make sure that the bottom of the screen will be supported by the surface your laptop is on by opening the laptop and setting the screen behind it, making sure it touches the surface the laptop is on before making your decision about where to place the magnets. It's a great screen. I'm glad that I bought it because it helps me to be more productive since I can see two screens at once.
