You can now boost your on-the-road productivity and make your eyes last longer thanks to this USB type-C display; no drivers required. Weighing just under 1Kg, its footprint is slightly bigger than a sheet of A4 paper and a mere 9mm thick. And it is not expensive at only $190 from Gearbest, not bad for a new product line this side of Black Friday 2019.

This model comes with a 3Ah battery, touchscreen capabilities, micro USB, mini HDMI and two type-C connectors, a 72% high-color gamut, a pair of speakers, an 800:1 contrast ratio, a 178-degree viewing angle and a 5mm bezel (at least on three sides).

It’s worth checking the list of supported devices (which also includes the Apple iPad Pro) before you buy. And the good news is that it is also compatible with gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.
