espresso Display 15" Touch Portable Monitor

In our opinion, if you’re looking for the best image quality for photography and videography work, this falls a little short. But if you’re a digital nomad or a frequent traveler that loves the productivity having a second screen offers, then you cannot beat the Espresso Display as an affordable, quality portable monitor.

The espresso Display is decent for office use. Its portable and lightweight design is good if you need extra screen space next to your laptop or main monitor, and it delivers sharp text clarity. It also has a few useful features like a touchscreen and an auto-rotate mode if you want to use it vertically. It gets bright enough to fight glare if there are a few lights around, but reflections from strong light sources are distracting. It also has limited viewing angles, so it's disappointing if you need to share your screen with someone next to you.

The Espresso Display 15 Touch is a great portable monitor, thanks to its incredibly thin design and lightweight portability. There is companion software, but you can equally easily just plug and play for a colourful display with responsive low latency. You will want to position the 15 Touch head on to avoid reflections, and don’t expect much out of the onboard speakers. It’s a pricey portable monitor whose full versatility costs more than the starting price, but the 15 Touch does make a strong argument for a higher RRP.

The espresso Display 15 Touch distinguishes itself as a highly portable, premium-priced monitor that enhances productivity for Apple users with its sleek design, USB-C connectivity, and innovative features like touch gestures and optional accessories, despite some limitations in audio quality and brightness under direct sunlight.

While the monitor does have its quirks, and pales in screen quality when compared to sharper modern displays, its convenience, lightweight nature, and portability remain key to its appeal. With a simple set up and low power consumption, it’s a very handy companion for those with flexible monitor needs.

The 15-inch espresso Display looks gorgeous and has exceptional color coverage for a portable display. You'll have to pay extra for its stand and the stylus for its touch screen, though.
