I purchased this Sidetrack screen for my Hewlett-Packard laptop in April hoping that it would improve my productivity. I figured two screens are better than one. It was a big mistake and a waste of money.
Some days it works and some days it doesn't work. When it does not work I get a blank screen. I have a degree in physics from an Ivy League school and I cannot get this product to function.
I installed it on my computer, downloaded the appropriate software and have contacted the company at least twice in an attempt to get the screen to work. I paid $299 for this product which is little more than a black screen attached to my computer.
All this product did was "sidetrack" me from getting my work done. I spent too much time trying to get it to work.
Do not buy this rubbish.
The motion of pulling out the monitor is by no means smooth, with the monitor constantly catching on the track. In addition if not pulled out correctly the monitor tends to sag at an angle instead of hanging straight out.
Pulling the monitor out hard until you hear a click signifies the locking mechanism has worked and should solve the sagging issue but again the motion is nowhere near as smooth or as simple as advertised.
This problems with the locking mechanism and slidetrack are made worse by the fact that the magnets are not strong so you are likely pull the frame off the magnets altogether.
Will also add the screen is noticeably darker and there is no ability to change it.
