Key Features

Folds Flat, Stands Itself Up

The case that carries it closed is the same case that props it open — one fold, one angle, no separate kickstand to lose in a bag.

A single USB-C cable running between a laptop and the portable monitor

One Cable, Two Jobs

A single USB-C cable carries power and video together from a laptop's own port — no separate charger, no second cable coiled in a pocket.

Why We Chose It

This factory builds one portable-monitor line across sixty-two configurations, and its listing leads with the most heavily specified of them — which would have made this the most expensive object in the shop, for features that add nothing to the laptop it sits beside. We chose the plainer one: a real 1920×1080 IPS panel, described as exactly that, in the same folding case the whole line shares. A second screen for the bag does not need to out-spec the laptop it is helping. It needs to fold flat, weigh next to nothing, and be on the moment one cable is plugged in.

The portable monitor on a desk by a window, one cable running to it

Folded, it's flatter than the laptop beside it. Opened, it's a second screen — one cable, nothing else.

Questions

Everything else worth asking.

Can I run it from a phone?

Yes, from a phone whose USB-C port carries video — one cable for picture and sound. Give the screen its own power; a phone rarely has enough to spare.

Does it need its own power adapter?

No. One USB-C cable to a laptop's own port carries both power and video — nothing extra to pack or plug into the wall.

Can I connect a games console or another device over HDMI?

Yes. The port is mini HDMI and the cable is in the box; it works with anything that outputs HDMI video, independent of the USB-C connection.

Is the screen touch?

No — it works like any standard monitor, controlled from whatever it's plugged into. It is screen space, not a second input surface.

How does the stand work?

The case that protects it closed is the case that props it open — unfold it and the screen stands at one fixed angle, with no separate piece to lose.

Does it need a driver or an app?

No. Plug it in and it behaves like any external monitor — nothing to install first.

How do I clean the screen?

A dry or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Avoid spraying any liquid directly onto the panel.

Monitor recommended

I bought this to use for working from home and it has been excellent so far. I particularly love the stand that came with it, as it saves lots of space on my desk. I have travelled with this monitor already and it travels well in my backpack and is easy to set up anywhere I go.

Game changer for a small workspace

This is a game changer for my digital work and small workspace. So easy to assemble, and I love that it's portable. Screen is the perfect size too. Would, and already have, highly recommend.

Great find

This was simple to connect and use and has been really helpful for me when working at home. The screen is a good size and when it is connected it is nice and bright. It is easy to move around and create the best working environment.

Works just as it should

Excellent product. Easy to set up: literally plug it into the laptop and it instantly works. Good size screen, and the frame is perfect for my relatively small desk, holding the screen above my laptop.

Crisp screen, easy setup

This monitor is such a banger for working on the go. The screen is crisp, plug and play setup was super easy, and it barely adds any bulk to my bag. Really solid quality, works exactly as expected.

A great piece of kit. Good enough for me, and just what I wanted.

Value for money, clear picture

Everything worked out of the box, the stand works and is flexible for your needs. Image is clear and crisp. Overall worth the money.

Perfect second screen

I use two screens at the office and wanted the same at home. This does it, and it puts away when I am done.

One cable and it works

Plugged the USB-C into the laptop and it came straight on. No driver, no settings, nothing to read.

Barely adds bulk

Slides into the laptop compartment of my bag and I hardly notice the extra weight.

Bright and sharp

The picture is bright and sharp, and the size is right for sitting beside a laptop rather than towering over it.

Good for a small desk

My desk is not large and this gives me a second screen without taking the room a monitor arm would.

Travels well

It has been to three cities with me now and sets up on a hotel desk in under a minute.

The cover is the stand

The cover folds into the stand, so there is no separate part to remember or lose.

Works with the console too

Bought it for work but it takes the console over HDMI as well, which was a nice surprise.

Thinner than expected

Thinner than I expected from the photos. It disappears next to the laptop when it is closed.

Doing what I bought it for

I wanted more room for documents side by side and that is exactly what I got.

It comes with its own protective carry case, which also functions as a stand, allowing you to use it comfortably on the go. The monitor is powered entirely via USB-C, eliminating the need for a separate power supply.

The item is of great quality. The controls are straight forward and there was enough charge direct from the laptop.

This monitor is great, so easy to set up. Worked as soon as I plugged the C-C cable in, does not need a power cable as well, will run off the laptop.

So good I bought a second one. Good build quality, good price. All round great addition as 3rd screen for desk!

It's fabulous. It's almost plug and play. Screen is very clear.

It’s a neat product, lightweight, easy to prop up, fold away and carry off.

For the price, this is incredible value. Easy to set up, works immediately, and is very versatile. Also very lightweight. Exactly what I was looking for.

Wonderful screen for my computer, now I can work much better, perfect size for my laptop, incredible price, I will buy it again in the future.

Brilliant - I wanted it to help with my eyesight and not bend over my laptop. This is a brilliant screen.

Absolutely great product, excellent design, very lightweight.

Love my monitor, great quality and very easy to install.

Very good quality, very recommend.
