Frequently asked questions
Does this work with Mac and Windows laptops?
Yes. USB-C connections support both macOS and Windows, plus iOS/Android phones, Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, and Steam Deck. The included USB-C cable handles video and power, but the product recommends using the original cable for best results, especially on older machines.
What do I need to carry with it?
The smart cover folds into a stand, so you just need the monitor itself and the included USB-C cable. It weighs under 2 lbs and fits into any laptop bag without adding bulk. The cover doubles as screen protection when folded flat.
Is this good for gaming?
It's fine for casual gaming, streaming, and video calls. At 60Hz refresh rate, it's not ideal for fast-paced competitive games, but it works well on Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and for non-FPS console gaming.
Can it work without the USB-C cable for power?
The monitor has two USB-C ports: one handles both power and video, the other is power-only. There is also a mini-HDMI port for display-only connections, though you would still need to power it separately via USB-C.
