5.0 out of 5 stars Works great with 2022 Macbook Air M2
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I bought this because it was recommended by the New York Times Wirecutters. I had some concerns about my 2022 Macbook Air M2 not displaying correctly on this portable display, because of Apple's Retina display scaling that can render text and images fuzzy on non-Apple displays, but I am beyond impressed with the picture quality on this display using my M2 Air with the default USB C cable the display came with. The color and clarity are fantastic. (Check out the Wirecutters article "The Best Portable Monitor," By Dave Gershgorn, Updated May 12, 2023, for more details about Mac fuzziness and a possible fix if you have this experience.)The resolution settings defaulted to 1280x800 (image/text were still nice at crisp at this resolution) but that was easy enough to change in my display settings. I just had to go into Display settings, select the external monitor, turn on the "See All Resolutions" settings to show all possible resolutions. The text is a little too small when the display is set to 2000x1600, but it's just right for my eyes on 1920x1200. Putting this here in case it's helpful to someone else. Annoyingly, the resolution seems to reset whenever I reboot my laptop... but that's a Mac issue, not a problem with the monitor.Setting the display to portrait (vertical) orientation using a Mac was super easy. Just go into the Display settings, click on the external display, and look for the Rotation setting. Set this to 90° and you're done.I was also concerned about my M2 Air not powering this portable display adequately, but digging around for the wattage requirements gave me hope. (This display requires USB PD with 7.5W.) I plugged the display into my Air and it powered up flawlessly, though that's using the burly USB C cable the display came with. Not sure if it will work with a different USB C cable... that's a test for another day.Not a super fan of the weird magnetic stand/cover hybrid, which does not feel terribly stable, but the display is so lightweight it doesn't stress the magnet at all. Still, I'll potentially hang it on the wall over my laptop instead.I do appreciate the two USB C ports and the brightness button. Would be nice if the button also controlled contrast, color, etc, as it seems that you need special Windows software to control all of that. Womp womp.But other than this one caveat, I've very happy with my purchase. It's a pretty sweet display. It's much more expensive than the others I considered, such as the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV, which was also mentioned in Wirecutters. If you're looking for a cheaper option, check that one out... but I couldn't find any clear details on how well it would work with a Mac, which is why I ended up buying this LG model.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beaitifull and work with any device
I bought this for my Chromebook to have two monitors, and it was plug-and-play. It also works with my MS Surface and MacBook! It has amazing clarity and size with great detail, and it is perfect for working remotely in my RV and vacation hotel rooms. I bought a second one for my partner because he had to have one for working remotely as well. I also can't believe how light this is! It added almost no more weight to my computer carry bag.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great item!
This LG monitor is as described. It is light weight and it has a great resolution. I think it is a bit expensive even with the discount that I got, for it was on sale; however, one gets what one pays for, and in this case, one gets a great quality monitor. I would definitely buy it again and highly recommend it to friends and family. By the way, delivery was as scheduled and it came well packaged in its own box. One could also have it pack in an Bolo’s box if one wants the item’s identity hidden. For me, it is definitely 5 stars (*****).
1.0 out of 5 stars Broke after 3 weeks - LG won't help - DO NOT purchase
First off, I never write customer reviews, but this experience was this product was so terrible, I want to warn other customers to steer clear.This monitor was great for about 3 weeks. Great display and compatible with MacBook Pro.I went to plug it in to work one morning and the screen was an array of bright colors.I called LG and shared photo's of the problem, assuming a replacement or refund would be offered for such an expensive purchase that isn't delivering on it's value.I was told it wasn't covered under warranty and that I must have damaged it by dropping it or sitting on it.My monitor sits on my desk so I was very frustrated to hear that this was being blamed on user error.I could not get them to help me other than offering me an out of pocket $580 replacement option.The other thing to note is the cord to work with this monitor is not a regular type-c to type-. It's an LG specific assembly cable. Purchasing an extra will cost you $78.Will never purchase another product from LG. $352 was wasted and then blamed on user damage.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great MacBook second monitor for travel
I travel quite a bit, both for business, and working remotely (while my wife lies on the beach!). I wanted a second monitor for my M2 MacBook Pro that I can bring along with me. This serves me well, the picture is sharp and the monitor seems to be of high quality.I dinged it one star, because the folding stand really doesn't work very well. I currently have it sitting on a folding laptop stand with the folding stand to prop it forward, which is better but not great. I wish LG had a solution. I've ordered a FeeLazy Portable Monitor Stand with a tripod base and will report back if that is a good solution.
5.0 out of 5 stars Really fun to use
This monitor looks great, and it's weirdly fun to pick up due to the super light weight. I placed below my Dell ultrawide monitor, and the screen coverage is awesome for work.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great 2nd Monitor for Travel/Remote use
This monitor is lightweight (less than two pounds) plugs into laptop with USB-C cable (no other power needed). It has brilliant picture quality and brightness (It appears to be on par with LG's OLED TV screens). However you would carry your laptop, the monitor would just slide right in with the laptop. Makes it easy to have two screens to work with wherever you are. I cannot recommend it more highly. It is DEFINITELY worth the money!!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect mobile monitor!
I have been using this for the last few months with my Apple laptop. It works flawlessly. It fits perfectly in my backpack. It is such a joy to use and the resolution is excellent. Excellent product.
