It's kind of chunky but so am I.
In all fairness I gave this 5 stars for "Gaming" even though I haven't used it it for that.
I'm a field engineer and I needed a mobile monitor for my laptop but also something I could use with SoC devices like a raspberry pi that had an HDMI out and that this had multiple different inputs like HDMI, USB-C, etc.
I've used this to configure not only multiple raspberry pi clusters but also standalone raspberry pi's. Note for the RPi 4 you'll need the micro-HDMI dongle sold seperately but I had one in my cord case so I was able to work around it.
The leather case makes it nice to use during trade shows and during customer presentations. It's especially light enought to pack up and throw in a backpack on a long flight. Just a few weeks ago I needed to work on a rpi docker cluster in flight so it would be ready to go when I landed. I booted this up using a battery bank (which also powered the pi cluster) configured it. booted it back down, and had a nice time watching a movie for the rest of the flight.
Thank you for a great product. I have a brand name product that only does video over USB and it's a pain in the bu## do to the USB bus being saturated with more than 1 other device (I typically have a USB wireless mouse, multiple USB drives, and other devices connected to my laptop at the same time) so this is nice that It doesn't saturate the USB bus but I haven't tested the USB-C interface yet as I don't have the need for it quite yet. However, it'll be nice to have once I do need it.
Cheers lads!
