Review: Arguably Essential for Remote Learning - I am not even a week into remote learning and this monitor has become essential for me. I can easily access both class conference calls and any additional materials without constantly switching back and forth or sacrificing screen space. I am giving this product a 5-star review because it works perfectly for me and has even exceeded my expectations. However, I have noticed that occasionally the display freezes or lags behind my inputs (mouse clicks, button presses, etc). I am unsure if this is an issue with the product or my computer, and the issue is not a frequent one, which is why I am deciding not to change my stance. I never knew that I needed a second screen for my laptop, but now that I have it I cannot live without it!
Review: Not what I had hoped for - As someone who has been using multiple screens for a long time, I was excited to buy this product. The packaging was nice, and everything deemed to be very nice quality. After installing the software and following all the instructions, I mounted the screen to my laptop and plugged it in as per the instructions. I downloaded the Beta 2 software version for Mac. After the computer restarted and was plugged in, the screen lit up briefly with the logo and then went black. I noticed that my laptop didn't recognize that the screen was plugged in. I double checked all the permissions, ensured I had done all the right steps, and even uninstalled the program and did the process again. With the same results, in addition to some other product findings I decided to return the item as it wouldn't work properly. I reconnected my other external monitors, and they worked fine as always. The general manufacturing quality is very sturdy. The added weight is to be expected, so keep in mind the screen will add the stress of additional weight to your laptop and may cause unwanted closing or backward leaning. The snugness of the screen in the frame when extended is loose. There is some noticeable tilt due to slack in the rails and articulating screen. This is not bad per se, just not expected, and would have been overlooked if the product did in fact operate. I didn't see anything wrong with the magnetic attachment points, but think the screen may come ajar should turbulent conditions occur, which would also cause the laptop screen to fall due to the additional weight of the Sidetrak screen on the back of the monitor. If a few glitches were addressed, this has potential to be a great product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Customer Service
*by T***J on January 25, 2023*

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.
