-> Each `mediaQueryString` condition must be wrapped in parentheses, for example: `matchMedia('(min-width: 600px)')` will work, whereas `matchMedia('min-width: 600px')` will not!
+> Just like in CSS, any [media feature](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media#media_features) must be wrapped in parentheses inside the expression. For example: `matchMedia('(max-width: 600px)')` will work, whereas `matchMedia('max-width: 600px')` will not. Keywords for media types (`all`, `print`, `screen`) and logical operators (`and`, `or`, `not`, `only`) do not need to be wrapped in parentheses.
