Portable monitors solve the productivity problem of trying to work effectively on a laptop’s single screen when you’re away from your desk setup at home or the office. Adding a second display while traveling (or working from coffee shops) dramatically improves multitasking capabilities and lets you reference documents while writing, monitor data dashboards while coding, or keep communication apps visible alongside your main work.
The KYY 15.6-inch portable display delivers Full HD resolution in an ultra-slim package that weighs just 1.7 pounds and slides easily into any laptop bag. The good news is that Amazon has this model at a record low of $66, down from the usual $99, and matches the Black Friday pricing.
Display Quality That Is as Good as Your Main Monitor
The 15.6-inch IPS panel has a 178-degree viewing angle and a resolution of 1920×1080. It keeps colors and contrast accurate even when you look at the screen from an angle. This wide viewing angle is important for portable monitors because you often have to set them up at less-than-ideal angles because of how little desk space you have in small places like airplane tray tables or small cafe tables.
HDR support increases the color range beyond what regular displays can show, making images more colorful and giving them better contrast between dark and light areas. The IPS technology keeps colors the same across the whole screen, unlike cheaper TN panels that have color shifting problems which makes it good for photo editing, graphic design, or any other work where getting the colors right is important.
The blue light filtering and flicker-free technology make it easier on your eyes when you watch for a long time and it is especially important when you work long hours away from your comfortable home office setup. The anti-glare coating on the screen keeps reflections from overhead lights or windows to a minimum which makes it easier to see in different lighting conditions that you might encounter while working in different places. The screen protector that comes with it adds an extra layer of protection against scratches while it’s being moved, which is one of the main concerns with portable displays that are always being put in and taken out of bags.
With two full-function USB-C ports and a Mini-HDMI input, you can connect to almost any device you want. You can get both power and video signal through a single cable when you connect to modern laptops with USB-C outputs that support DisplayPort Alt Mode or Thunderbolt 3/4. This is because there are two USB-C ports. You won’t need to carry around multiple adapters or power supplies with this one-cable solution, which makes your mobile setup much easier. The Mini-HDMI port lets you connect older devices or gaming consoles like the PlayStation and Xbox that need HDMI output which makes the monitor useful for more than just working on a laptop; it can also be used for entertainment.
The monitor has built-in stereo speakers that let you listen to audio without needing extra speakers or headphones: This is useful for video calls, presentations, or just watching videos when you don’t want to deal with extra audio equipment. If you need better sound quality or privacy, you can use the 3.5mm audio jack to connect headphones or external speakers.
The monitor can be used in both portrait and landscape modes which makes it more useful for different tasks. Portrait mode is especially useful for reading long documents, writing code, or keeping an eye on social media feeds and chat apps. The 0.3-inch profile makes the whole thing very small, so it can fit into laptop sleeves or bags without adding much weight. The weight is still light enough at 1.7 pounds that you won’t even notice it in your bag with your laptop and charger.
In a market where similar displays usually cost between $120 and $150, paying $66 for a Full HD portable monitor with IPS panel technology is a great deal. The usual price of $99 made this a good deal, but the 34% discount makes it even better. Now, the price is close to that of a large phone screen, but it still gives you a great desktop-class display experience.
