Fantastic
I was tempted with the JSAUX FLIPGO LITE as it was on offer. Sadly you need to upgrade to the pro version to get two extended screens on a Mac rather than 1 big one. This screen whilst it doesn't come all of the extended USB ports as the other; does have the usb drivers to drive the monitor on Mac in a dispalylink fashion so I can 2 extended screens. I can confirm it works on mac air m1, it needs enough power to the monitor and then the correct usb c to the mac. Put monitor in mac extend mode, install drivers reboot and allow the driver to access the screen.. Again just like display link.. I'm very pleased with the display. It's built well and the 315 degree flip over could be useful. Definitely recommended for additional screens. If you need something with gaming or photo editing then pay some more. Otherwise it'll be great for work.

Quite handy for gaming.
On the second screen I will have screen capture software and the VC open too. While there are many screens with the similar specs (1440p, 144hz), I got this also for the touchscreen (can annotate screenshots and scroll with finger). Works with no issue with windows 11 and no set up required (as previous issues with multiple displays with one being touch seems to be fixed), but only over USB C, as hdmi cannot transfer touch signals.Accessories included are very handy. Has usb c power supply, usb c data transfer cable (as your own usb c charging cable is not sufficient), and hdmi to mini hdmi.Has a very nice feeling metal construction and beautiful bright crisp picture. Easy to navigate screen menu too.The anime girl was not on the box, very sad.Edit: You might get better results with HDR using HDMI. But because HDMI cannot transfer touchscreen signal, I found a solution that is plugging second cable (also included) usb c from the screen to regular usb (type a) into the computer. This second cable brings back touch functionality and simultaneously powers it. Seems like my usb-a port gives enough power.

Beware of downloading a manual
The screens worked fine connected up to a PC and an Apple laptop. There are a number of settings to configure the two screens so went to the manufavturer’s website to download a manual. Two options available: a paid and free one. Selected the free one and the site promptly downloaded a virus on to the laptop!

Decent for home office, 60Hz monitors.
So I've been using this portable dual screen monitor (MDSA156) for a bit now, both at work and at home and it's interesting - it's basically two 15.6-inch screens connected by a hinge, kind of like a laptop but without the keyboard. The screens themselves are decent – 1080p, which is fine for most tasks (especially office tasks), its good enough for spreadsheets and browsing, but not ideal for photo or video editing. Setting it up is pretty easy - its just a single USB-C cable for both power and video if your laptop supports it, which is handy. There's also an HDMI port if you need it (see attached photos - my nano-PC is plugged via HDMI so it has a power adapter plugged in in this case). I like that the screens can be arranged in different ways – side-by-side, stacked or technically even tent-style for sharing with someone. Useful for presentations or showing the kids a movie. One thing to keep in mind is the build quality. It's mostly metal, which feels sturdy, but it's not exactly premium and it's a little heavier than I expected (talking portability). Not a deal-breaker of course but definitely something to consider if you're planning to carry it around all day. There are built-in speakers which is very convenient for me but the sound quality is just okay, fine for casual listening, but I wouldn't rely on them for anything serious. All I can say, it works fine for me, it's a decent portable monitor, especially for the price. It's not perfect – the screen quality could be better and its 60Hz max and it's a bit heavier than I'd like. But for increasing productivity on the go or having extra screen space at home, especially for office related stuff it does the job perfectly. I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars and I think its a fair rating. Good for daily use, but don't expect it to blow you away.

Beautiful 2k portable monitor
This is a beautiful monitor, the 2k resolution, 144hz and Freesync combination at this size is stunning. It is on the heavier side and is noticeable when added into the backpack when travelling. That said, the weight does bring with it a sense of quality other brands can't achieve. The screen gets plenty bright enough to counter the glossy screen. Touch controls appear to work well when used as the only monitor. Currently windows 11 doesn't work with mix and matched Touch and non touch screens in extended desktop modes (not an issue with the monitor).
