RedalfPortable Monitor 14.2'' FHD 1080P FHD IPS USB C HDMI Laptop Screen Extender IPS Display Speakers, Plug&Play, External Monitor for Laptop 13-16.1" PC Mac Chrome (14.2 inch)

I was in the market for a screen extender for my husband and me to use while traveling in our travel trailer and for my teaching job the rest of the time, at home. After considering several options, I found this one, and it turned out to be a perfect fit for both a PC and MacBook. It arrived packaged very nicely (think more like the old-school Apple treatment with the protection on the screens and around them, insets for separating the cord configuation options, insets for the 2 basic monitor configuration stabilizers). I've had it a little over a month (using it for long work days) and here's my experience with it, so far:Pros:Easy Setup: The extender is super portable and came with everything I needed to get started. It works great with both my MacBook and my husband’s PC. The setup was a breeze—no IT help required! However, I did check out the customer service, and they seemed professional and ready to assist if needed.Versatile Screen Configurations: Let me just say first, I was pleased with the crispness and color and overall screen quality. The monitors are large enough to allow me to have multiple windows open at once, which is a huge help for virtual classes, grading, Outlook, Microsoft Teams, etc. I was slightly worried when looking at all the options online I wouldn't find a high-quality option and/or I would not find a solution I would find worked great, but I tried a few different configurations over the weeks, including having both monitors vertical, one vertical and one horizontal, and finally settled on having both screens on the right side of my laptop, stacked on top of each other. This is not one that is advertised, but it's what I love most and it does work great. To me, the horizontal setup enables more screen width usage, so everything can be stetched to the largest size and text can be read the easiest without magnifying the screen's contents.Customization: This kit includes various cables and setup options to give you flexibility. Once set up, it was easy to adjust each screen's resolution and color profile through my Mac’s 'display settings' found under 'system settings'. I was able to fine-tune the settings until I had the perfect balance of dark, mid, and bright shades that worked for me. It's bright and cheery and the ability to look at more screens (instead of needing to cycle through tabs all the time) makes my work days a lot easier to get through and makes work actions faster (reading or copying from one screen to the other).Cons:Only really with my laptop setup, as there are Limited Ports on MacBook Pro: My MacBook only has two USB-C ports on the left side, which was a bit of a challenge. However, I'm here to tell you that if you have a macbook pro, it can still work great. I mention this as it might come in handy for some others with the same brand or who also have limited input options for the daisychaining: after some trial and error, we figured out a solution: we plugged the MacBook’s power cord directly into the right-topmost peripheral monitor (the white cord in the image showing the back of the two monitors, one on top of the other), then daisy-chained the two external monitors through the available MacBook ports. This allowed the laptop's regular power supply cord, via the right-side monitor, to supply power to the whole setup, including the laptop. It was a bit of creative thinking, but it works perfectly for me.Final Thoughts:Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. I'm a minimalist and appreciate the simplification this offers for my actual work and also how it looks. The Laptop Screen Extender has been great for work and will also be for travel (there is a carry case that it comes with that I can slip inside my laptop bag). It’s affordable, easy to set up, and provides a flexible, high-quality solution for expanding your laptop’s display. If you're looking for a portable screen extender with two additional monitors, this is an excellent choice, and I’d highly recommend it!

As a middle-school teacher who lives in a swirl of lesson plans, gradebooks, and video calls, I was desperate for more screen real estate than my 14-inch laptop offered, so I took a chance on the Redalf 15.6-inch portable screen extender. Right out of the box, the aluminum build felt reassuringly solid—no flimsy plastic hinges—and the plug-and-play experience was blissfully painless. A single USB-C cable lit up both side panels on my MacBook Pro, while my older Lenovo accepted the HDMI-plus-USB-A combo without a hiccup. Within minutes I had a three-panel workspace that made me feel as if I’d carted my entire desktop setup to the coffee shop.Two weeks later, the extender has transformed my workflow. I keep the gradebook parked on the left, my slide deck or document in the center, and email or Teams chat on the right, which cuts my lesson-prep time in half because nothing hides behind another window. The panels swivel freely, so during student conferences I flip one around so kids can see their own data while my notes stay private. Portrait mode is perfect for reading rubrics or long web pages, and the matte IPS screens stay bright enough to tame the glare of classroom fluorescents. The detachable design also lets me pop off a single panel and hand it to a student for collaborative editing.The trade-offs are real but manageable. At a shade over four pounds, the whole assembly adds noticeable heft to my already stuffed teacher tote, and the tiny cooling fans become audible in a silent library once both screens run at full brightness. The built-in speakers are too tinny for anything but notification pings, and colleagues on base-model M-series MacBooks would need a DisplayLink dongle that negates the no-driver charm. Still, the productivity boost easily outweighs those gripes. For anyone who juggles multiple documents and doesn’t mind carrying a bit of extra hardware, this screen extender turns a laptop into a true mobile command center—and I’m not sure how I ever taught without it.If you live in spreadsheets, code editors, or creative suites and want a road-ready triple-monitor desk, the Redalf 15.6" Screen Extender delivers. It’s bulkier than clamp-on alternatives, yet the freestanding, detachable design means no brackets on your laptop and far more layout freedom. Just be certain you have two DP-capable USB-C ports or HDMI + USB power handy—and avoid it if you’re on Apple’s base M1/M2/M3 silicon.

So far the only 3 downfalls i have are more of a personal preference than how they work.1) id love to have bigger screens2) i had to use all the wires to get it to work so it's a little complicated in that aspect. But it still works3) i wish there were more ways to set up the monitors.However, the pictures are clear, they work well and it's not lagging. I've had them for a few months now. I'm not a techy person but I got it set up pretty easy and its working and haven't had any issues. I dont really travel with it. But I have had to move my office around a few times and it's fairly easy to move and I love that if you wanted to travel with it, it comes with a tote to carry it in.Yes theres alot of wires to get it connected but that's probably how I had to do it with my computer, maybe if I had a newer updated computer I wouldn't have to use all the wires it came with. I've also had to get adapters, again not a big deal I knew I would have to when I bought it because my computer doesn't have the right ports needed. Even using adapters on it though, it's still has a very clear picture and has a steady connection..

One of my most satisfying purchases. Well worth it. Still been using it after many months when I travel and I love all the ways you can customize the positions of the monitor. Really easy to assemble and disassemble.
