There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
There were complaints about the magnet wouldn’t stay in place. So I was pretty hesitant.
Before I bought this, I bought an 98$ dual monitor just like this in Cottageder website, it came up from facebook ads, I thought it was valid, so my order never arrived. Im pretty pissed of why Facebook would allow fraudulant ads in there.
anyway, so i bought this our of desperation.
I had very low expectation obviously. But shipment came just after a day (i have to mention it since amazon have pretty great shipment.
When I opened it, it was very easy to setup. You have to follow the instruction how to attach it to the back of your computer, there is a reason why you had to stick magnets from your computers back and stick it to the sticky magnet of the monitor, this makes the adhesive work better, with magnets on both sides, it makes it very stable and not wobbly at all like what others complained.
Resolution of the monitor is so good, even better than my laptop.
Only negative is, the mouse movement is intermittently slow, which means rendering is felt, its not seamless. not sure if its bec of my specs? but I have 8cpu, and pretty reasonable space, so not sure.
but overall, it is an excellent purchase. super happy with it. i will recommend this product.
putting 5 star rating.
If you want reliability, this is not the product. The screen resolution was poor. The sliding mechanism feels weak and scary it'll break something. Set up was extremely easy.
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.
It is not very sturdy. Like at all.
I tried using it on the road from my lap desk, but it kept flickering. (as the passenger obviously) I would have to disconnect and reconnect. If it was a bumpy road, it would fall off. One of those times, it bent the cable piece that attaches to the monitor so I have already had to replace it.
I tried using it from my lap on my couch (or any couch) and anytime I go to set it down (off my lap) the screen will fall off. Haha I just moved my legs and it fell off as I tried to type this review! Didn't even try to set it down. Which brings me to my next point, sometimes when it disconnects from falling off or what have you, it takes several tries of unplugging, plugging back in, and jiggling the cord to get the screen to come back on.
However, when I use it from a desk, where it does not get moved at all - it works just fine.
If I could figure out a way to make this sturdier, I would absolutely recommend this 100%. I have done some research on how to rig it, but haven't been able to find a non permanent solution. I don't always work away from my home office and don't want it to be permanently attached to my laptop.
I hope this review helps!
***********************************************************************************
I experienced some trouble with the monitor powering on, but no screen displaying. I reached out to the seller and they sent me a shipping label to return it and upon receipt they sent me a free replacement! That is what I call excellent customer service. I will be shopping from them again!!

Dissapointed with the Sidetrak, and furious about what it's done to my Lenovo.
