Question: Is It comparable with windows 8?
Document: This is a nice sidepiece. The screen and clear and bright. It weighs almost nothing, and sit quite nicely on my desk.However, if you use Windows 8 and upgrade to 8.1, there is currently NO driver support from HP. Don't even think about it. The thing will NOT run if you upgrade OS.
anytime I open the lid that isn't a fresh start. From what I have read, this seems to be more on Cypress's end than HPs--I found other allusions to this with different monitor makes. Currently there is no resolution to this conflict. Having said that, it really isn't that big of deal. Simply drag the windows down to the bottom until they are off the screen. Then forget about them. Alternatively, you can destroy them with the Esc.
I wouldn't rule out storage issues but I honestly believe its a manufacturing issue coupled with poor quality control.The defects I describe do not hinder the functionality of the display, just the appearance. So if you don't care about weird splatter marks on your desktop and file windows, you should be fine.Apart from the defects I'm happy with the 7 that don't look like crap.
Don't believe the product description if it still shows 1920x1080.I purchased this monitor mid-March, 2013. Shipping was fast and arrived earlier than expected.Opened the box, plugged in the monitor using the included USB cable (it is a short cable, which may limit your options where to place the monitor depending on your computer's USB ports). After a few minutes, Windows was able to automatically load the drivers and the screen came on.
Concept is good, and works really well but the monitor keeps blacking out. I have to reboot to get it back on. I've tried working with customer service (horrible) and they keep running me around in circles. It took me two days just to get them to realize that this is a portable monitor and  not a normal monitor.It would be nice if it had a better resolution or adjustable.I have windows 7, 64 bit operating, very powerful laptop. Not sure if that's causing an issue.
new consulting job, this monitor provides me with flexibility to travel and have optimum Monitor viewing...I Recommend this product highly.
love love love it. Makes travelling and doing work easy wish I could hook more than one to my laptop. Will buy many more for office.
[Note: I purchased this for personal use, not for business use; my expectations may differ severely from yours]I recently ordered this monitor on the HP website directly (it included a warranty there at the time). When I received it, it was just plug and go (disclaimer: I already had the DisplayLink driver installed for my other monitor).
Would definitely help to improve productivity especially with a Wacom tablet
With the large percent of bad displays we've received I'm rather shocked no one has said anything yet.
Answer: If you mean compatible --- then yes. It works on my computer, running Win 8.1. You must install the driver first.
