This external monitor is excellent and at a very reasonable price. A work colleague had this model and I was surprised at its quality and price. I had been looking for one for some time and at a much higher price. This is a must buy at its price. Easy to set up and fits within my laptop bag easily.It does come with a series of cables allowing connection to a laptop (or another device) by USB or by HDMI.Very light and portable, it has also a protective carrying sleeve, that doubles-up as a monitor stand.The colours are bright and luminous and I had no problems at all using it with my laptop.
