I got a zenscreen from asus. They have many sizes, plug and play 1 usb-C to usb-c cable.
r/laptops • A portable monitor to "reportabilize" a headless laptop? ->I use a 15" portable Asus USB monitor on my Studio as the third monitor. Run FCP in the 2 desktop monitors. The USB for anything else. Works great.
r/MacStudio • Mac Studio with a portable monitor ->It's a 4 year old Asus USB A. The cable came with it and it's not HDMI at the other end (Or it is HDMI, just with different interface. ) It was not expensive and it super versatile. I also use it on MacBook Pro and a HP Windows laptop. Great investment as it still fits is a backpack along with whatever laptop. It's probably not what you want for gaming. But it's a GREAT accessory monitor. Unfortunately I can't give you exact model number today as I just moved yesterday and it's packed away at the moment. Also it's old enough I'm sure that exact model number isn't the same anymore. But don't overthink it. Just find one that says "works on Mac". The Studio will handle it just fine.
r/MacStudio • Mac Studio with a portable monitor ->Follow up. ASUS no longer makes a USB A to micro HDMI. They use USB C with Display capability to their Micro HDMI port. The Mac Studio's USB C on the back handle this fine. They are display port capable. So yes, Asus Zenscreen Portable should be fine on your Studio. (Note it's now a touch screen as well. So undoubtedly more money than non-touch monitor) But shop around. It's not rare or complicated.
r/MacStudio • Mac Studio with a portable monitor ->Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".
r/digitalnomad • [REQUEST] Portable Monitor - Slim/Light, Single-Cable USB-C Power/Video from Laptop ->I love mine, but recently I found out it won't play full HD content from one particular platform because it isn't HDCP compliant. A big blow. There is no HDMI, just a USB Micro B. Fine for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon but for this one platform - Stan (in Australia) - it just won't. I have an Asus ZenScreen but not a high-end one, and I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). Perfect for everything else, just not this. So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI. I've gone for an ARZOPA A1. Arrives tomorrow. Just something to consider when checking the specs..
r/Workspaces • For the people who have a portable monitor as a second monitor, was it helpful? ->I used to use a ZenScreen but somewhere along the way I stopped using it. Don't know why to be honest
r/productivity • Are portable monitors still seen as a gimmick ->I used an ASUS ZenScreen for two years until it got broken thanks to the dumb security checks at a Vietnamese airport. Very good screen, recommend it, got a newer model after this one.
r/digitalnomad • Portable monitors ->+1 love my Zenscreen
r/digitalnomad • What portable monitor do you use? ->what is your budget? i use asus zenscreen, can be connected via usb-c to ThinkPad, though it may be on the pricier side.
r/askSingapore • Portable monitor reccomendations? ->I have one of these. 100% recommend. Great viewing angles and no fuss. If I bought it again I would try to get one 16:10. Didn’t realize how much 16:9 bothers me. But I use it vertically anyway.
r/biglaw • Best portable travel monitor? ->I’ve had good luck with the Asus ZenScreen. It’s light, durable, and the image quality is great for work on the road. Worth the investment, in my opinion.
r/digitalnomad • What portable monitor do you use? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
