Laptop Screen Extender Monitor Portable, 15.6'' Dual Screen Monitors for Laptop Plug and Play, FHD 1080P IPS Multi Triple Monitor for 13''-17'' Laptops Compatible with Mac/Wins/Android/Dex

If you are like me and have a lot of multi-tasking responsibilities, or if you're constantly having to bounce between reports and spreadsheets, you know you need either larger or more screens. I have three screens at the office, but if I am remote or at a different location, I am stuck to the one. But not anymore! This is perfect, because it easily connects to my laptop and gives me two extra screens! First, this feels like a premium device. It comes with all the cables you will need for a normal laptop that has sufficient ports. It works on Windows, Mac, and Chromebook (I know, because I tested all three). It also comes with a handy case for it, and it helps prevent the screens from being damaged while you are remote with them. Set up is incredibly easy and depends on the ports for your laptop, but the instructions are very easy to follow. I had it up and running flawlessly on my windows laptop in less than 30 seconds, and it easily formated to my screen and new which was left and which was right. I got this to work easily with my wife's Mac, but we needed a separate adapter so we could plug it up (since the Mac uses one of the ports as a charging port and doesn't push enough juice without also charging--an issue with the Mac and not the S3). I also managed to get it to work for 1 additional screen on an old Surface Pro, but my Pro doesn't have enough USB power to push 2 screens, regardless of charging. I am incredibly happy with this purchase, and if you're needing or contemplating a way to have additional screen space for work or leisure, this is what you need.

This dual portable monitor has been useful and convenient. My son absolutely loves using it with his laptop for gaming. The addition of not just one, but three screens takes his gaming experience to a whole new level. For me, working from home has made this monitor incredibly convenient, as I've needed a larger display for my tasks. I really appreciate my laptop's portability and the fact that it has all my essential programs, so I didn’t want to invest in a new computer just for extra screen real space. This monitor has been the ideal solution for my needs—better than I ever expected. It instantly enhanced my laptop's capabilities and was a breeze to set up—just plug it in and it's ready to go. It connects seamlessly to my laptop, allowing me to extend my display easily in landscape mode. While that’s what I needed, it can also be configured in portrait mode. It's perfect for meetings too, as it can be rotated for others to see. With a rotation capability of up to 235°, I can view the screen directly in front of me while the person across from me has their own view. The screens are lightweight and slim, and even when connected to my laptop, it fits comfortably in my laptop bag. The picture quality is bright and sharp. My youngest has recently discovered that she can use it with her Nintendo Switch, making it the most utilized monitor in our home.

I’m here reviewing the S3 Laptop Screen Extender, 14'' Triple Portable Monitor for Laptop Plug and Play, 1080P FHD IPS Laptop Monitor Extender for 13’’-17'' Let’s quickly go over all of that tech babble. First, I have to slightly disagree with the wording of the title. It is NOT a Triple Monitor - it only has 2 monitors, and of course, counting your laptop screen, you get the full 3 screens. Secondly, the 1080p FHD, stands for Full High Definition. This means the aspect ratio is 16:9, which is a really nice format to work with. At this size monitor, the resolution remains tight, and images sharp. There are a full 3 resolutions each monitor wing is capable of: The highest resolution is 1920x 1080p, followed by 1600x900, then 1344x756. If your eyesight is aging, you might want to try the smaller resolutions as this will “magnify” the elements you are seeing. Finally, I’ve used it with my 2020 13” MacBook Pro. My setup uses the USB C cables that came with the product - they have multiple cable variations for most setups one can imagine. And all the cables seem to be of good quality. The right angle USB C’s are a great idea and helps keep the setup nice and compact. If anything, the cables are *too* long, but better to have length and not need it than to need it and not have it. Also included in the package is the extender itself. It looks to be of carbon fiber make, but I’m thinking that’s just a plastic pattern effect they’ve achieved in the making of the product. Despite that, it seems to be really sturdy and well made, with some definite heft to it. It just feels solid. The extender seems to have plenty of travel going from a closed position 11” to a full 14.5”, so this should be able to accommodate most 13” laptops. In fact, it almost seems custom made for MacBooks like mine. Read the instructions carefully to make sure you extend, and collapse the “wings” smoothly. If you push the top part faster than the bottom, because of sheer engineering principles, you may damage the extender. On the left and right edges of the extender, there are small nubs of plastic that serve as grippers to grab onto and hold the laptop. As I say above, my MacBooks’s monitor fits perfectly underneath these plastic nibs, so when you close the extender fully seated against the monitor sides, it literally turns the extender into a “piggy-back”. By doing it properly, now, when you raise and lower the monitor, the side monitors moves with the laptop. I’m wondering how this will hold up over time, but for now, the effect is very good. I used the two USB C -> USB C cables (1 is right angle), and then turned the laptop on. Instantly, the monitors were recognized by the MacBook, and I was off and running. Of course, you have to go in and setup the monitors in whatever way you want. I wanted the left monitor to literally be to the left of the MacBook monitor and the right to the right, with the mouse extending into either monitor from the center. I have to say, and this is to complement the monitors, they look really good for 1080p monitors. From the view, they almost look like they are more in a higher resolution with same aspect 16:9 ratio range. The colors look to be very similar to the Retina colors on my MacBook, not that that is even expected. I’m guessing most users will be business users and not photographers or videographers, but it’s good to know their colors look good. I’ll leave the color experts to test these out, but these are rated as IPS (In-Plane Switching) and the colors look great. How they compare, again, with reference images will require a fully, highly technical review with tools beyond those I have here. If you are interested in photography, I would use the jogwheel to go into the monitor settings and choose sRGB. By going into USER, you can set each individual value of Red Green or Blue and so can use it to match your center monitor to a high degree of accuracy. In my side by side comparisons, comparing photos of my daughter on the Retina and the extended monitor, the colors came close, after some finagling with the color settings. Each screen has a thumbwheel on the top of the monitor where the user can access the brightness, contrast, and other settings found in most monitors. I wouldn’t go too vivid, but a Natural setting will do good for business graphics and family pictures. So how is the sound? Well, these clearly don’t have the engineering team of Apple, and so it lacks a bit. I have intention of using the side monitors for sound output, so this is a moot point, but it’s interesting to know it is there for people who need. On the back of each monitor are 3 USB-C plugs. 2 are straight out USB-C’s and the 3rd is for running it to HDMI. Note that these are not pass-through charging ports and so you can’t plug in your iPhone and expect it to be charged. Which makes me wonder why they have a full 3 outputs for video. I suppose you could have two laptops hooked up to this setup, with only 1 using the extender? An odd, rare setup but who knows. It takes a couple trial setups, but eventually, one can put this together and have it ready to go in under a minute. The more I worked with it, the more I liked it, and this is coming from a user who runs a M2 Mac Studio with 2 large full monitors - 1) 34” (3440x1440) and 27” (2560x1440). It’s not quite wraparound like, but you’re almost enveloped in screens and with the right angle, this would really boost my productivity. I’m already thinking of additional ways to put this product’s strength’s to good use. All in all, I’m quite impressed with the quality, portability and expandability of this excellent screen extender. And it will most likely prove to be a VERY low cost way to boost one’s productivity and overall comfort level. 5 out of 5 stars. My overall summary This is a Great laptop Screen extender and with the right laptop, it becomes a seamless whole. The two wings that hold the 2 monitors are sturdy and well constructed with good quality materials. This is important because the extender has the important role to play of the “framing” behind the setup. In particular, it works extremely well with the 13” line of MacBooks (newer, thinner models). It almost seems to have been designed for it. The color is decent, the device instantly recognized, and it works perfectly with Apple desktops, or what they are calling “Spaces”. WIth these extra monitors, and using multiple spaces, the possibilities are endless and especially benefit users like myself. I love working on multiple projects at once and being able to quickly toggle back and forth makes this laptop extender the icing on the cake. I give it, 5 out of+ 5 stars.

Not sure where to begin. First I bought the S2 model, followed instructions, used the cords it came with and had no choice to choose option 2, since my laptop doesn’t have two type C ports. Only got one screen to work, then switched methods to try the other screen. Both screens works but however they don’t function at the same time. So, apparently I can ONLY used left side or the right side but, NOT both. I even tried settings but only two screens showed but not the 3rd one. Tried restarting my laptop, checked connections but still no luck on making both extended screens to work. Then I bought the S3 model’ because of only needed one cord to work. Guess what! same issue. I tried also using type c-2 hdmi splitter to see. Granted My laptop is about 3-4 years now and doesn’t have DP ports nor 2 type c ports. So, IF your laptop is old and doesn’t have Two fully functioning type C ports. DON’T BUY. Oh, another thing. BEWARE the S2 monitors will fit 17.3” However, S3 monitors will NOT fit 17.3” the fittings are about 1/4inch off. I had to take off the S2 monitors from the supporting frame and take off the S3 monitors from the supporting frame and switch frames Just to make the S3 model to fit my 17.3” gaming laptop. Maybe after I buy a new laptop with two fully functioning type c ports, then I’ll update this complaint. Hopefully this helps you.

I like that it is “plug and play” so I can connect it to my work laptop to work from home while I’m on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy. The image is good. It took a little to figure out how to plug it in and I’m happy I had an extra usb hub or else I wouldn’t be able to charge the laptop while the extender was fully connected. Biggest complaint is that, when the screens are open, they are too front-heavy, even with my work laptop trying to prop it back. It starts falling forward and my laptop screen goes forward with it. I wish there were some sort of stands to hook to the bottom of each of the extender monitors to keep them propped back so they couldn’t fall forward. It’s also a bit pricey but everything is stupid pricey now so I guess it’s normal.

This is AMAZING! Initially bought it for an upcoming work travel but got postponed. So far, I’ve primarily used the unit as additional screens at home and in office. First off, weight wise, this is pretty easy to carry around. Decent enough to bring during travels since it isn’t too heavy. Has multiple cables for different types of pc connection that fits your needs. And yes, the bag/carrier can fit ALL of it. If your laptop doesn’t have that much ports available, try it on a docking station. Still works! If you don’t have 2 usb-c ports available, you’d need to utilise a usb A and HDMI port. Got confused with it at first since I thought I only needed 1 connection. But you actually need both of them simultaneously (if only I took the time to actually read through the manual lol). One to provide power and another for display. But other than that, this was very easy to setup. Screen resolution is crisp and clear. Nearly at par with a standalone home monitor. Both screens have speakers but can only be so loud. The video attached is the speaker at its loudest setting. This is a good additional feature but not something I foresee using when traveling. What I love most about this is the versatility on screen orientations. There would be instances where I’d have to look at continuous pdf pages and wide excel workbooks at the same time. These screens can perfectly do that for me. I can have one in portrait and the other in landscape, without disrupting the rest of my displays. Won’t really worry too much about it wobbling since the plate and attachment stabilises it and can accommodate whatever orientation I prefer. One potential feature they can possibly add on this is a touch screen function. But I think that’ll drive the price high. Overall, definitely worth it for the price you pay.

I don’t write many product reviews (<10) but I had to review this one. This Extended Screen product works perfectly. Although I’ve only had it a week so I can’t relay any information about its longevity, I can tell you that after setup it works exactly as it should. Packed as well as any piece of computer hardware I have ever received, and I mean 40 years worth. Perfectly arranged box – each of five included cables in its own little cubby. Hard foam protecting the outside and inside of the folded screens. Screen apparatus in a very sturdy fake-leather carrying case with one hard side. It’s pretty heavy and very hard so you know it won’t suffer from any bending problem. It unfolds easily but the hinges are very firm. The screens separate right-left easily but firmly. The kickstand is well-positioned and again folds and unfolds firmly. After connecting all the cables (directions are on a one-page guide) I was unable to generate power to the left screen. I reread the specs and discovered my quite old laptop did not have the required full-function USB-C port. I emailed the company and received a quick reply that I needed a special cable which I bought from Amazon. After using this cable ($25) instead of the included USB-C to USB-C cable, it setup easily and my Windows 11 laptop addressed each of the screens immediately. I use it in extended mode and the mouse moves easily between the three screens (middle one my laptop screen). I have been using it for about a week and it responds immediately to normal computer work and plays videos without any noticeable lag. All in all, I don’t think you can buy a better laptop screen-extender.

I purchased this to be able to multitask my work flow better. I like that it comes in a little travel case for ease of movement, unfortunately it feels heavier than my laptop alone though so it’s like carrying around 2 bricks. The screens however work great and have great clarity but the main issue I had is this didn’t work for all of my laptops, the first one I tried it on only worked with one screen even with using the additional cables included but then my other gaming laptop was able to experience the whole setup with just usb c to the monitors and is pleasant to use and provides a lot more real estate for multitasking. Play games on one screen, have twitch or YouTube on the other and lastly a screen for chat or browser. The flaw in the design is how it attaches to your laptop screen, there isn’t a mechanism to latch the screens in a fixed position on the laptop, you can push the screens towards the main screen and it will stay put because their are catches but due to how heavy the screens are it doesn’t always want to stay put. This isn’t an issue if you’re using on a table or stationary but I am versatile where I use my laptop and I can tell you now that if you are someone that uses this in your bed on your lap then it may not be for you, however, if you have it stationary it’s outstanding and definitely worth it, especially for the price it’s cheaper than buying 2 separate screens.
