  • Great Customer Service
Color: Silver
My wife ordered this as a gift for me because I almost always work on two screens at home, she thought this would be convenient for me when I am out of the office. At that time I really didn't need it and didn't try to use it. Well now I am working more out of the office and decided to start using it......it didn't work! I contacted support and they walked me through how to install and connect and everything...still didn't work. I thought that since it had been so long, delivered last March and it is now January of the following year, they would tell me that it was my problem, not theirs. To my surprise, the person I was working with told me that they would send me a return label and all I had to do was drop it off at the shipper, and they would ship me out a new one. Well sure enough I received the label and of course, it took me a couple of days to get it shipped back, I wasn't in any real hurry. To my surprise, the new replacement Side Trak came before I shipped the old one back. I hooked it up per their instructions and it worked flawlessly. Great purchase, a good product that I will get lots of use out of, and the best customer service and support I have experienced in a long time. ... show more

  • Not meant to be used on anything other than a stable surface.
Color: Black
I bought this in mind for working on the go. If this is what you want it for, I suggest you do not purchase it. If you want to work from a desk at a hotel, or some other office/location but on a desk, table or a flat surface then go for it! 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!! ... show more

  • Fantastic product that comes close to perfection
Color: Black
UPDATING 3/8/21 AFTER 2/2021 BELOW - STILL NO RESPONSE FROM SUPPORT 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. ... show more

  • It was Decent just a few things wrong.
Color: Black
I love the idea of this but they can definitely do better with this product. For example, the brightness is so dark, I tried watching movies on it while I was doing other stuff on the main screen. when it hit a dark scene in the movie, you couldn't see anything or could barely make anything out and if you put it in full screen it was like 30 seconds delay between mouth movement and audio. The other issue I had is when I pulled it out then let it sit and rest, it would lean downward on the bottom hinge of the screen which over time would wear out the bottom hinge and break. The other issue is with how heavy it is on the laptop. it puts so much weight on your laptops hinges that weren't designed for that much weight to begin with, which would take a toll on your laptop screen's hinges and make it where the hinges would wear out and your laptop screen won't stay open. they aren't designed for this much weight on the back of the screen especially for long periods of time while working or gaming, etc. The price is a steal for this product but with these few issues, I just couldn't handle using it and had to send back. This is great for mobile work, if you travel, if you are on the go a lot and need to multi task while on the go, but while at home it is best to use an actual computer monitor or tv for your second screen instead of this. ... show more

  • Magnets are not strong
Color: Black
Very easy to use , plug and play for the magnets are not strong enough to hold on to the slider contraption . Always falls off the back of the laptop . Convenient but I wish the side track monitor was a bit more brighter in display . Hard to look at being so dim .

  • Doesn't work consistently
Color: Black
I really love the idea of this solution. My work requires multiple screens when I travel. This mobile monitor is perfect...when it works. The first one I got, I had to return it because it didn't work at all, even after the hassle in install and configuration (be ready for some challenges.) Their support team is fantastic. Got me a new monitor immediately as I was traveling within a couple days and I really needed this thing to work. BUT... when I got it, it worked with the help of support (the drivers and the hoops you need to go through for a Mac, make it almost a hassle to set up without their support... it worked wonderfully for a couple sessions. I loved it. But when auto OS update hit (I'm on the latest and greatest on my MBP) I couldn't get the monitor to work again. I tried to reinstall and go through the same steps the support team had me go through. No dice. It now collects dust. I'm hoping that maybe in my next OS update it will work. Again, great concept, but just not easily compatible with Apple products without jumping through multiple hurdles...and even then, it's iffy on whether it will work consistently. ... show more

  • Finicky about the power supply
Color: Black
This is a pretty cool product, and when it works, it's really nice. I like the way they engineered it so it can slide out from behind your laptop; the magnetic attachment works really well. However, I had a lot of trouble with the thing not being willing to turn on when I first got it. You have to plug in both the signal USB and a second USB for power. It really doesn't like the normal, low-power (slow charging) USB connectors that you find on almost any power strip these days. When I tried to connect it to one of these, it just wouldn't turn on, and it took me a number of frustrating attempts before I realized the power was the problem. At least, I'm pretty sure that's what my initial problem was, but I can't quite tell anymore because... The display has gotten much more finicky over the several months I've owned it, and now it won't reliably turn on, even with a high power USB connector. This means that it's not very useful to me anymore; only half the time does it work, and sometimes it just stops working after I have been using it for a while. This is likely because I dropped it once on a hard floor, so it's probably my fault. (But I haven't yet had a laptop do that after dropping it; laptops seem more hardy.) I've mostly given up on it. ... show more

  • Updated!! Great customer service!! Died in less than 20-30 uses!!! Waste of MONEY
Color: Black
So, while I still think the device is too fragile for use if it’s going to break in less than 20 issues, I am super impressed by their customer service shipping me a new device after I explained how little I had used it. Excellent company! I don't use this device often, but when I need it, I REALLY NEED IT. And it died in less than 30 uses (probably less than 20). I'm furious that I put this much into it thinking it would last longer than the Acer portable monitor I used for 3 years much more frequently until it died. This is TERRIBLE. I've owned it JUST over a year (so outside of any warranty, I'm sure) and it's just kaput. ... show more

  • Good product but needs some minor engineering updates
Color: Silver
Setup was easy, but if you are running a corporate laptop, be prepared to he locked out of the video driver installation (unless you had Windows admin access). The lower hinge has trouble "engaging" so much so that most of the time we give up and just let it hang there. This is very annoying as the monitor then does not sit level. The USB Type C cable supplied, because it must be thick and heavy to provide the necessary power, intermittently disconnects from the monitor port. I suspect this is due to the weight. We are going to try to source a 1.5ft length to see if that would help. The product needs some engineering refinements to make it truly a "wow" product. Right now, with the lower hinge not engaging (it isn't broken, it is just a design flaw), and if you nudge the laptop even a little, the video cuts out. ... show more

  • Decent if a bit flakey
Color: Black
the design of the panel and its harness are great. easy to attach and detach. The design allows it to be placed to the right or left. installing the driver was easy and i was up quickly. One note: figure out if your laptop uses a magnet in the monitor part to know when you close your laptop. If it does DO NOT place the metal squares in that area or the magnets in the harness will cause your built in monitor and keyboard to turn off. Basically your laptop will think its closed. The screen is bright and really crisp. colors are saturated but not out of range. I have noticed that when i am rapidly moving my mouse between windows on the builtin screen and sidetrak, the sidetrack will freeze. Sometimes moving my cursor back to the main monitor and clicking gets the sidetrak to unfreeze, sometimes i have to wait a few seconds until the sidetrak goes blank and flicks back on. I have been trying to figure the issue out based on Sidetrak’s tech doc on the issue without a resolution so far. ... show more

  • If you have a MacbookPro Catalina 10.15.1 there is a security fix
Color: Black
They called back and it was a security issue. It is now working very well. The only reason for 4 star is the issue was not easily found on their site. As many times as I was there I never saw that fix. This is my second one and the first installed easily onto my dell laptop that is why I purchased this one for my Macbook Pro using Catalina 10.15.1 Installed and uninstalled four times and it still doesn’t work. It says the name (Photo 1)and you are to wait 2.5 minutes. After 8 hours it is still blank (photo 2). I have gone to every YouTube or their site troubleshooting to no avail. So I called their customer support during business hours and had to leave a message that they would call back between now and one day. Well I’m trying to use while traveling so it is very frustrating. They should have better tech support for the price. I will gladly write another review if they call me back. I own my business and if I had a message like that for my customers I wouldn’t have been in business for 28 years. ... show more

  • Easy install, Stable, Not wobbly, Clear resolution. Excellent purchase.
Color: Black
I was hesitant to buy this actually. I normally read the bad reviews first to see the potential issues. 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. ... show more

  • I wanted to love....but one year in, frustrated
Color: Black
Let me tell you. I loved this monitor. Love love, we were official. However 6-8 months in it started having connectivity issues. Obviously I thought it was me. I spent hours trying to fix and troubleshoot, and when I finally gave up and reported it to SideTrak, they replace it with no issue (except I had to send it in before they would send a new one, so I was without it for about 1.5 weeks). New love working fine but after 4 months a part in the slide fell out preventing the screen to fully slide back into place. Again, Customer Service was great and they replaced the whole unit. But NOW I've had the replacement of the replacement for 4 months and it is failing again, just like the 1st one. Now I know it's them not me. I'm just super disappointed because I frigging love this thing and can't work without it, but also can't work with it. Maybe the other versions are better, but sadly I feel like I have to report the issues and frustrations with this particular unit. ... show more
