How to choose a portable monitor on Black Friday

Picking the right portable monitor for you isn’t quite as simple as picking one of the best monitors. A portable monitor is rarely as high-end as the best screens around, but the advantage here is to check how they work on the move. The best portable monitors are easy to carry around either through USB-C power or even an internal battery.

It’s rare to come across a portable monitor with good speakers, and some monitors don’t even offer any, so keep an eye out if that’s important to you. Size is also important, although the standard portable monitor size tends to be 15.6-inch. Don’t forget about what screen resolution you need either. Most people will be happy with full HD/1080p, but there are 4K solutions out there if you need all the pixels possible. Bear in mind you’ll be paying substantially for that privilege so most people simply don’t need that.
