What works. What doesn't.
Connection and power
espresso says it runs at its full 550 nits from a single USB-C cable when the device supports it. Its second USB-C port passes power through.
Panel
RTINGS names it the best portable monitor it has tested, with very sharp text and high brightness, but strong mirror-like reflections and oversaturated colors in sRGB.
Mounting and portability
RTINGS says the included stand can place it beside or above a laptop screen, which the Lenovo M14t Gen2 cannot do without an extra mount.
Drivers and software
No software is needed for basic use. espresso Flow adds touch gestures on macOS and auto-rotation.
