MAGICRAVEN M18501 18.5" Portable Monitor, Full HD 1080P IPS Laptop Monitor, 2nd Monitor Dual USB C HDMI for PC Gaming Monitor with Speakers and Smart Cover, Travel Monitor for PC PS4/5 Xbox Switch Phone
Mine arrived in perfect condition. No dead or stuck pixels. Picture quality is good, better than most monitors I've used in this price range, but not quite as good as the 16-inch MacBook Pro. But I only bought it for the image and pixel quality.
At full resolution, the text is so small that I almost need a magnifying glass to read it. I found that I could easily use it by zooming in to about 125%, and at that size I could see a fair amount of code on the screen at once. It's not as good as a 32-inch 4K device, but it makes remote work weeks about 10 times more efficient. I ended up with enough screen real estate to capture all of my thoughts on one screen, albeit with a bit of strain on my eyes.
When I run at 200% everything seems fine, but 100% seems to be wrong. It could be a non-standard sub-pixel layout, inconsistent pixel size, or just an issue with the way the MacBook Pro displays text, but something is causing it to appear compressed at full resolution, eg because every third or every third of the A pixels are missing, making up Four-line pixel path. I bought the jewelry magnifying glass just to check, but even at 50x magnification I can't see the sub pixels! Having said that, it's something I've just gotten used to and it doesn't affect my use, just a visual annoyance.
As others have said, the magnet in the case is a week old, so I'd recommend buying a different mount. Placing at eye level is more comfortable than at a desk.
