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: “SideTrak: The monitor that doesn’t work, but still manages to waste hours of your life.” - 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.

**Q: Anybody had any experience using this with a 17 inch monitor? wouldn't the placement of the magnets need to be off-center?**
A: Don't have any experience with 17'', however based on my experience in using with 15'', the sidetrack screen may appear somewhat smaller. Works great with 15'' though.

**Q: Is this compatible with Apple Silicon Macbooks?**

### ⭐ “SideTrak: The monitor that doesn’t work, but still manages to waste hours of your life.”

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic product that comes close to perfection
*by C***E on February 27, 2021*

UPDATING 3/8/21 AFTER 2/2021 BELOW - STILL NO RESPONSE FROM SUPPORT I LOVE this device. I work from home but on times when I'm in the office, having dual monitors will be fantastic. Also, with my freestanding dual monitors and laptop monitor, this gives me four working screens on my desk. The setup was very easy, and after a few minutes, it was working great. Now the less than perfect stuff. Tech support was an answering machine. There's no email address, there's no chat. Both are shown on the card that came in the box, but no email and no chat on their website. No one answers the phone line during business hours. So hope it works or you're out of luck. Second, why I was calling ... my monitor starting blanking in and out 3-4 times a minute. Sometimes it would take all my monitors down and sometimes just the SideTrak would go down. It was annoying. The instructions said the driver needed 2 minutes and it was much longer so I called. After about 10 minutes, the issue resolved itself. Maybe if I ever get that tech support callback, I can let them know. And lastly, the screen is clear, but it's not bright and there's no way to adjust it. If you go through Windows and try, the laptop monitor gets dim/bright, but the SideTrak doesn't change. So as much as I love this, it could be even better.
