Improve your productivity while on the go with one of these portable monitors perfect for work or play.
If you're someone who often works on the go, you're probably no stranger to the portable office: a laptop, tablet, and wireless keyboard are likely all part of your arsenal. But sometimes, one screen just isn't enough. Or the screen you're working with isn't large enough to accommodate the work you're doing. Luckily, there's an easy solution: a portable monitor.
Portable monitors can be invaluable additions to any mobile workspace, whether you need more screen real estate or just want a more ergonomic setup than what a laptop or tablet can offer. You can set up a portable monitor as your main display or you can use it as a secondary screen to improve productivity. Plus, if you tend to work from a phone or other mobile device often, you can use the larger screen to help you see everything better.
No matter what you use it for, a portable monitor can be a game-changer for work or play on the go. But as with most tech on the market now, there are tons of different models to choose from. We've rounded up some of our favorite models from brands like Asus, Lenovo, ViewSonic, and more to help you pick the right one for you.
