that might not be exciting to many general consumers but for me personally since I often work on the go and I definitely appreciate the value of multiple monitors I don't know if you guys have ever seen any of the videos where I'm in my office but in my office I have four monitors so one of the major disadvantages to me of working on a laptop is not having dual screens because I can have a mouse I can have an add-on keyboard but well excuse me sorry I can have a mouse and add-on keyboard isn't that easy but I can make myself fairly mobile and fairly comfortable except carding around a monitor usually isn't really an option so here we have a monitor CD users guid and installation files although I definitely recommend downloading the latest from Lenovo uh so yeah this is a Lenovo product I should have mentioned that there's also a bit of quick start guide type thing going on here so we'll go through that when we get a little bit more information about the product itself this looks like some kind of a stand okay so there's a stand it's got some instructions for how it might work don't forget the USB cable it says okay we've also got the aforementioned USB cable so this is a dual USB a to single USB B and there's a good reason for that which I'll cover in a moment or uh rather mini mini mini yeah mini okay and finally we have the monitor itself so aha there we go so what is this for what is a what is a monitor in this particular form factor good for you might ask and I would say that is a very good question let me go ahead and answer it for you so this is a secondary display for your notebook that connects hold on a second now I'm having trouble because I've got so many accessories going on here that connects via USB it is not only USB powered but it is also here you can adjust the uh the angle to be even with that stand on the back to be even with the angle of your notebook but it is also USB a USB display so you don't need any kind of external output on your

they aren't labeled one of them is for power and one of them is for data so I'm going to go ahead and plug this in and plug this in to the monitor itself so that goes in right about there okay actually I should give you guys a closer a closer look at actually give me a sec for convenience sake I actually did use the disc sorry guys uh basically the quick setup guide is probably not even quite as simple as the actual process so you power on your laptop they actually include that as a step you uh put the dis in the thing and then you plug the USB things into the other USB things and

have it not accidentally slip out so it's rubber tipped plus there's a Groove there so it is not going anywhere and I would suggest that it's probably usable even without the actual uh the actual stand one of the other things that I did was I found out the resolution of the display so this is a 1366 by whatever that is so 13 66 X 768 widescreen display the brightness is highly adjustable I apologize Windows is not genuine this is not true it's genuine Windows well it's sort of true because it's genuine Windows but it's um I change my Hardware all the time which is technically not allowed but I'm not going to I mean I just changed the SSD in here and that's why it deactivated so uh keep changes so here we go so we're set up it's pretty much that simple I can show you guys the brightness adjustments obviously something to bear in mind mind about this display so right about here uh obviously something to bear in mind about this display is if you're running it off battery power it's going to significantly impact your battery life because it runs not only the power for the display off USB but also the data check that out you got a wide range of brightness options uh but the increase in productivity is probably going to more than make up for it so in case you guys don't know you can adjust it like this to make sure that your uh here we go just about like that to make sure that your mouse when you move it over between the two displays doesn't take that huge leap of faith so how's the responsiveness of it you can see that frame rate is not as good as it is over here because instead of using the GPU to accelerate the uh Windows effects we're using well just the slow data rate here and uh and a USB Graphics controller so be bear that in mind as well although for
