Tern Setups 16” monitors are very good. I got a 4K one for running IDEs etc with my MacBook Pro. Not cheap but text is really clear and that’s what I need. Esp at my age with my crap eyesight!
It can be fiddly. But there is a sweet spot.
Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a portable monitor. I work as a software developer and often move between different offices and my home, so portability is important. I really like the SOTSU monitor because it can be set up vertically and positioned right behind my MacBook Pro’s screen, aligning perfectly above it. However, it’s quite expensive. Do you know of any alternatives that offer similar features—especially the vertical setup and the ability to stack neatly with a MacBook Pro—without breaking the bank? Also, I would like a similar quality as the integrated monitor. Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
I bought one and then sold it. The problem I had was keeping the monitor level.
I’ve been using Tern OLED with my MacBook Pro M4 for 3 months and I’m quite happy. The screen is nice quality - very similar to Mac’s. Also I like how flexible the setup is.
Recently received one. It's good. Could be better in my opinion(there is no strict control of angles which could be irritating) But I'm still going to buy second one to have my own perfect setup :)
I bought one from Tern Setups, which is a great one
I use Tern Setup monitor. It is lightweight and pretty good quality. Would recommend
