if durability and a professional look matter most, the espresso displays pro 17 is a strong pick. it’s thin, metal-bodied, easy to mount on a stand, and holds up well to frequent travel. pricey, but consistently praised for build quality and reliability at conferences.
fwiw my mate and i recently analyzed reddit discussions on portable monitors over the past year and ranked them by aggregated sentiment. if you google redditrecs, you can filter by size and build quality to see which models people recommend most often. some links are affiliate and help fund the analysis.
i tested both for photo work on mac. the espresso has noticeably better color accuracy out of the box - closer to the ipad pro's p3 coverage. the sotsu is slightly brighter but the coating is more aggressive which makes it look less sharp next to a macbook screen. both beat the cheap amazon ones by a mile though. if screen matching matters most, espresso edges it. asus also makes the zencreen series which sits in between these two price wise and holds up well color wise.
If screen quality matters, Espresso is usually praised for color and build, but you might also want to check options from LG like the StanbyME line, not as ultra-thin, but the display quality and versatility can be surprisingly great for work, media, and travel setups. It's great for working moms like me who needs reliable screen quality on the go,
