Great monitor - solid size, well designed, lightweight and easy to maneuver. Powers up via USB-C only, no adaptor needed - a huge plus. Only wish the companied offered a carrying case for this size.

Perfect size and allows me to travel! Would have liked for it to have brought a travel case with it, which has been very hard to find.
