First Impressions - Solid Purchase | After 8 Months, Mini-HDMI port stopped functioning

First Impressions - Solid Purchase | After 8 Months, Mini-HDMI port stopped functioning
Purchased as a third monitor that would fit under the main screens. Initial impressions are goodPros:- Good Picture Quality, Wide Viewing Angle, Responds Well to input when playing games.- Speaker is Fine for Watching TV, however does not get loud enough for use with company over- Headphone Jack, Mini-HDMI- Powered By USB-C, making replacement cables easy to get, and able to power from a laptop or console's USB port (tested both with a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-C to Standard USB 3 cable using my laptop (Acer Nitro 5) and my console (XBOX Series S).Cons:- Cables included are SHORT- Input and power on right side, as such, some set ups may struggle to reach (although this and the previous con can be resolved by simply going and buying longer cables)- Built in stand does slip a bit if does not have something in front holding it from sliding forward. I personally just have it resting against my mousepad, does not take much, but a lip on the end would be a great addition as a redesign (wink MSI wink)Edit: 8 Months Later: mini-HDMI port has fully stopped functioning making it near useless. Was good while it lasted, however the port just will not read anything. I've confirmed cables work with other monitors so it is definitely the port itself on the unit. I guess I can use it as a android screen now but 8 months for the port to go bad doesn't seem 5 star worthy. Reducing to 4 stars as it has shown it will not last.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I needed
Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021
I only wish they had a 17" version! Easy to set up. Decent quality picture - actually better than the MSI gaming laptop I was using this with. Will do portrait but its a little unstable in that orientation. Easily slips into the laptop bag with the rest of my gear.

The included min-HDMI cable is short. So if your HDMI output is in the left side of your laptop and you want to place this monitor on the right you are out of luck. Get an HDMI/Mini-HDMI adapter and bring a longer HDMI cable. I plugged my laptop HDMI into the hotel TV and got a Mini-Display Port adapter to HDMI cable to plug into the mini-HDMI adapter for a three monitor setup. Ultimate road warrior dev environment! You will also need a higher output charger to use the included USB-C cable as a power source. My laptop does not have the right USB-C version so was unable to test single wire power/video from it.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021
Purchased as a third monitor that would fit under the main screens. Initial impressions are good
Pros:
- Good Picture Quality, Wide Viewing Angle, Responds Well to input when playing games.
- Speaker is Fine for Watching TV, however does not get loud enough for use with company over
- Headphone Jack, Mini-HDMI
- Powered By USB-C, making replacement cables easy to get, and able to power from a laptop or console's USB port (tested both with a USB-C to USB-C and a USB-C to Standard USB 3 cable using my laptop (Acer Nitro 5) and my console (XBOX Series S).
Cons:
- Cables included are SHORT
- Input and power on right side, as such, some set ups may struggle to reach (although this and the previous con can be resolved by simply going and buying longer cables)
- Built in stand does slip a bit if does not have something in front holding it from sliding forward. I personally just have it resting against my mousepad, does not take much, but a lip on the end would be a great addition as a redesign (wink MSI wink)
