17.3" Portable Monitor 144Hz FHD 1080P IPS HDR Display with USB-C & HDMI Inputs - Ultra Slim Second Screen for Laptop, PC, Gaming (PS5, Switch), Mobile Work & Entertainment

I have used a Geekom mini PC as my desktop for two years, and it drives the two large monitors on my desk and even the 55-inch TV on the wall, and I have gotten used to that amount of workspace, especially for programming and other data analytic work. So we are traveling, and my old laptop does not cut it any longer and has only one screen. I like a two+ monitor setup and I like the two monitors to be the same size (call it a symmetry issue). I decided that my Mini IT11 Geekom would do the traveling, but it has no screen at all. After searching all portable monitors on Amazon, I centered on the ALOLG 17.3 inch monitors and bought TWO of them. I was attracted by the features, looks, and price.I am thrilled so far. They work out of the box (one connected USB-C and the other connected by HDMI. The Geekom powered the USB-C connection, but not the HDMI. No matter, I have both connected to the USB-A to USB-C power supply brick that came in the box. All the connections I needed are in the box and I was glad there was both a 'C' and 'HDMI' cable since my older Geekom (can drive 4 monitors, but all connected differently) - (newer Geekoms have dual HDMI and ... well go look that up yourself.Not a negative for me, but HDR did not work on both monitors at the same time, but I don't care about that. Also, I was able to up one and then both refresh rates to 144Mhz, although not until I plugged them into the power supply.Speaking of which, some description of the power consumption of the included brick and whether it is safe to use a higher wattage would have been nice for me since I am not conversant with that kind of tech detail.I still distrust the covers (which are nice) to hold the monitor steady, but so far so good. The angle is perfect for me. I do like that the cover is not one of those wrap-around and under covers that take up valuable space. They have a very clean appearance, as seen in the picture.BTW, I am working just as I would on my home setup; my travel productivity just increased.i now know I can use it with my TAB (in Dex), my phone, and even my ancient laptop. I have high confidence that they will work simply because of how smooth this beginning is. If not, I will come back and modify this review.My only issue is that I wish that ALOLG had discussed the durability of the screen more in their advertisement. Exactly how resistant are they to accidental scratches? My worry is that they come with a relatively thick screen protector fixed to the top edge. Do I need to leave it in place because the screen surface is delicate? Or should I remove it and take my chances? I wish they told more about this. BTW I can lift up the clear sheet covering the screen and the matte finish on the screens are excellent. Again, I am just wondering how important it is to affix a screen protector, either the one included or an aftermarket tablet screen protector.Finally, I can get the Geekom, my Logi wireless keyboard and mouse, and both monitors in my travel case. They are so thin and protected by the cover that they take up minimal room in my bag. No longer will I have to haul my "monitor box" to have a larger and second monitor when I travel.By the way, the footprint of my setup up as you can see includes the d the monitors measures a eekom and wires that are behind it measure 32" x 18" so this set up would comfortable fit on any small hotel desk (or MIL's dining table).Bottom line, I am thrilled.
