Review: Arguably Essential for Remote Learning - I am not even a week into remote learning and this monitor has become essential for me. I can easily access both class conference calls and any additional materials without constantly switching back and forth or sacrificing screen space. I am giving this product a 5-star review because it works perfectly for me and has even exceeded my expectations. However, I have noticed that occasionally the display freezes or lags behind my inputs (mouse clicks, button presses, etc). I am unsure if this is an issue with the product or my computer, and the issue is not a frequent one, which is why I am deciding not to change my stance. I never knew that I needed a second screen for my laptop, but now that I have it I cannot live without it!
Review: Great Product - This is not for adding a second screen for your home office, with that said this is a great product for people on the move and who need to be mobile and want the ability to work off of a second screen. The resolution is great on this screen. I travel a lot and this has been valuable to my overall productivity. The only downside would be you need to download a program to use it and most companies won't authorize outside downloads to a company laptop. I did download and use this on my personal computer and the process was quick and easy.

### ⭐ “SideTrak: The monitor that doesn’t work, but still manages to waste hours of your life.”
*by F***N on June 21, 2025*

Let’s be clear: I never got far enough to complain about the weak magnets or awkward arm design. That would require the monitor to actually turn on. The Lie: “Plug and play. Simple installation. Get working in minutes.” The Reality: “Please block off your entire afternoon for BIOS tweaks, driver hunting, power cycling, display setting resets, and a growing sense of dread as absolutely nothing happens on the screen.” I was optimistic. I followed the instructions. I updated firmware. I changed BIOS settings. I changed cables. I sacrificed small animals to whatever gods control USB protocols. Nothing. The screen stayed black, the LED blinked mockingly, and I slowly realized I had purchased a glorified laptop appendage that serves only to collect fingerprints. At one point, I found myself staring at this lifeless screen and thinking: “I wish that by shaking this thing, I could either A) get all the hours I wasted on it to fall back out, or B) somehow shake it into working. But no. Only a barbarian would do that.” Instead, I did what most buyers of this product will probably end up doing: Playing Taps from the sole working screen on my laptop while gently laying this dead hunk of plastic back into its box, return label attached. 🔧 Engineering note: When your “portable monitor” requires BIOS changes on a fully modern laptop just to possibly power on, you’ve already lost. Bottom Line: This wasn’t a bad monitor. This was a dead monitor. And it wasted far more of my life than any inanimate object has the right to. P.S.: The links to download the drivers in the included manual? Broken. Enjoy your Easter egg hunt through support forums, dead URLs, and broken downloads, only to discover the electronics were DOA the entire time.
