I originally got this for a super cheap price thanks to an error in Amazon's inventory system, but I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with this monitor.
Pros:
It clips right onto your PS4 and it only increases the bulk by about an inch, which makes this monitor far more portable than a giant bulky Gaems unit.
The screen is clear and the colors are nice.
No real visible lag or latency on the monitor.
Two HDMI slots, so you can easily plug another system into it and continue using the screen. I often plug my Xbox One into this and just swap between the PS4 and the Xbox One when gaming late at night.
Cons:
The monitor requires external power, so instead of needing one outlet plug for the PS4, you'll need two to also use the monitor.
The colors might be a little too warm for the average user, and the user interface on this device is fairly generic, nor does it come with much instruction. I just had to mess around with it until I figured out basic commands, like pressing the UP and Down arrow to switch between HDMI inputs.
The screen seems to burned in, in the middle. This doesn't mean that it is, but you'll notice during black screens that it looks like the center is a square that looks like screen burn in. It doesn't impact performance, but the first time I saw it I was concerned that the monitor was damaged.
All and all, this is a great add-on for your PS4, but not at the $300 price tag. If you travel and take your PS4 places often, it's a great solution but it doesn't have a protective case like the Gaems units do. For $300, you'd think the display would come with a small remote control with better options than the generic little buttons. But hey, at least the little speakers are pretty loud and sound decent.

Now, this is what I call a very nice portable gaming screen for the PS4. I'm a heavy gamer and I know what to look for in the screen quality. Here are some facts gamers will be curious about.
1. LCD type : It's a glare IPS panel. It's not a cheap TN panel. There is no dimming when looking up from the bottom of the screen and the wide angles are top notch.
2. Response Rate : The spec specifies as being 25ms. I ran the screen through CoD Black Ops 3 and Doom. The 25ms spec is dead WRONG! I could not see any tearing or ghosting whatsoever. I mean, these 2 games are pretty fast paced. Excellent response time.
3. Speakers : The on board speakers are OK. It will do it's job when playing alone in a quiet conference room.
4. Connection : Connect it to HDMI port 2 at first because it's configured that way as factory default. I don't know why but that's how mine was.
I'm gonna sit down at Starbucks and finish some single player games that I did not finish yet. LOL
Anyway, glad that I got this over GAEMS products which use cheap TN panels except for the 24 inch.
