I kinda like the look of them and often feel myself wanting a second monitor if I’m working on my laptop.

(I’ve come to the conclusion if people think I’m working I won’t look like as much of a massive dork)

Always had the feeling they’d be a bit crap though, like the hinges break or the monitor isn’t too good or it’s big and bulky and you can’t really carry it

Ideally I’d like to find a single fold out side monitor that attaches to my laptop (big chunky ThinkPad) somehow and doesn’t need its own power supply but that may be asking too much

    Portable monitors have been extremely convenient when I used to travel to a client site to program. A cheap one is worth getting.

      Do you use an autotiler out of curiosity? I found since using a tiling wm I don’t use my extra monitors nearly as much
