I picked one of these up a few weeks ago. Overall pretty good based on my use. Screen is decent for what it is. I have been using mine hooked up from my Mini PC. The USB C cable both powers and provided the video. The entire cover comes off easily as it's attached via small magnets. The speakers are not very good, but they are only 1 watt each so that's kind of expected. Overall great deal for $50 and under.
Stupid question... do these things have their own internal battery or does it draw from the USB C port of the device plugged in? I'm thinking of using this for pixel desktop mode with a bluetooth keyboard, but I can't figure out if this will work. Or should I just get a Nexdock 6, for example?

No internal battery; it's USB-C powered, so the Pixel would supply the power. One owner above ran both on one cable.

Echoing the same sentiments. Bought it during the last sale and it works as advertised. If you need a second monitor that is portable, getting this is a no brainer. Is it 4k Ultra HDR Dolby Vision OLED, nope. But for $50, its a steal.

The monitor has two usb-c inputs. It doesn't have its own battery, so your device will give it power if you just use a single cable. But if you plug your phone into one of the monitor's usb-c ports, and a usb charger into the other, then it will continue to work as a display for the phone while also sending power to actively charge the phone.
