Mind sharing which one you have please? I’d like to drop one in my laptop bag sometimes.

Uperfect makes 4K ones. AFAIK Asus only goes to 1080p.

I'm not the person you're asking but as Asus already make a range of portable monitors you could try one them: https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ZenScreen/ https://www.asus.com/Displays-Desktops/Monitors/ZenScreen/

  I have two Asus ZenScreen Go MB16AHP. Comes with built in battery and a bunch of other great features. For me, both of them stopped charging and refused to work right after warranty ran out. Now they are sitting on my shelf waiting to be cannibalized. I very much enjoyed these screens. They were response, relatively light, fit into the bag, and with their own battery, I could chug along for hours without issue. Oh the joys of getting ready for meetings in airport lounges! So, Asus portable monitors for me were great design, not so good implementation.

Sure, I have an Innocn PU15-PRE. Just to reiterate that a 15.6” 4K is definitely the way to go. I also tried 14” 4K and 1440p panels but - on account of the way scaling and font rendering works in MacOS - they’re a big step down. Even moreso if you’re doing anything graphically intensive - you’ll want to use non-native scaling on a 14” 4K which is expensive for the GPU. The 15.6” panel doesn’t have this problem because the “effective 1080p resolution” divides cleanly into the native 4K panel resolution. I spent ages working through this.

  How do you mount it to a tripod? Also do you know if you can horizontally flip the image so it could be used with a teleprompter?
  - darkteflon 4y ago
    I use [this](https://amzn.asia/d/a74Tepm https://amzn.asia/d/a74Tepm). Not sure about flipping the image but I’ve put the model number here in the thread.

    Thanks! From the manual, it looks like it only has support for rotation and not the flipping.

    You could also move the camera to film the reflection from the 45 degree glass, if you’re looking for a home office teleprompter solution and not a live presentation version.

      Yeah, it's not actually for a teleprompter - I'm using it as my zero-parallax video conferencing solution with a Canon R5 as my webcam. I'm currently using an 11" iPad Pro using the excellent Duet Display software which does the horizontal flip [1] and it works great for that. I'd like the display to be larger though, but that requires upgrading the teleprompter too and I've been toying with that hence my question about monitors that can do the horizontal flip. But I think I'm just going to mirror a 24" monitor underneath my videoconferencing setup so that I can better see presentations during meetings.

        ...you're using a four thousand dollar (not including lens) mirrorless camera as your webcam for videoconferencing services that are typically barely a few megabits per second?

I'm using a very similar setup for when I want to work away from my 27" 4K display but still need a second screen to be productive (e.g. doing almost anything coding-related). Like the previous poster, I set it up with the external screen directly above my laptop screen which for me is much more comfortable than trying to put it beside the laptop, and ends up at a perfect eye level. Bought this LG Gram 16" Portable display (2560x1440): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TS43YMT https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TS43YMT This portable tripod: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LGGXH1J https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08LGGXH1J And this "tablet" mount that gets large enough to fit the 16" display: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z7Z7QZ3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08Z7Z7QZ3 Tripod/tablet mount also double as an iPad stand for video calling, etc. Everything fits easily in my fairly compact backpack along with cables, dongles, mouse, etc.

  It’s great, isn’t it? Can’t imagine working any other way now when I’m away from my desk. I recently added keyboard shortcuts (using BetterTouchTool) on my left hand for moving the mouse cursor up and down between the centre of each display, as vertical mouse movements seem to be more tiresome than horizontal on account of the lie of your arm (less of an issue with the built-in trackpad).

  Interesting that the screen is around the same weight as a macbook pro. Is that right?
  - sgerenser 4y ago
    The screen I use (lg gram 16”) is lighter than even the MacBook Air. Specs say 1.48 lbs (671g) or 2.18 lbs (989g) with the folio cover on.

  This is exactly what I am looking for.
