Portable displays are compatible with most laptops or desktop computers, as long as your device has the appropriate interface. Since the monitor itself lacks an internal power source, it operates similarly to a desktop monitor. It relies on an external power supply and an external signal source to function correctly. Therefore, please ensure that your device is powered on and properly connected to a signal source. Make sure to connect an HDMI cable to your phone or other devices for it to work properly.This portable laptop display is specifically designed for larger laptops and is compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, MacOS, Chrome, Linux, Surface, Switch, and PS4. It also supports newer MacBook models, such as the MacBook Air M1 and M2, as well as the MacBook Pro. It is tailored to complement laptops ranging from 13" to 17.3" in size. Laptop monitor extensions allow you to extend or mirror your laptop's display, enabling you to work on multiple tasks simultaneously. This eliminates the need to constantly switch between screens, saving you a lot of time. It doesn't matter which device model you have; as long as the ports are compatible, they can be used without any issues. First Connection Option: Use a single USB-C cable labeled in blue. This method is suitable for laptops equipped with a USB-C port version 3.1 or higher, as it allows the USB-C port to simultaneously transmit video signals and provide power.Second Connection Option: Use two separate cables, one labeled in gray and the other in black.
