The Plugable Portable Display Provides Portable Productivity

Here’s something you’ll never say: “This laptop is nice, but I wish it didn’t have so much screen real estate.” Multitasking like a pro or trying to catch up on your favorite show during a lunch break, extra screen space is always better. And now, with Plugable’s USB-C Portable Monitor (USBC-PDMON), you can have extra screen space wherever you go.

More Than Just a Pretty Screen

Sure, the Plugable USB-C Portable Monitor makes a handsome display, but don’t let all those pretty pixels distract you. There are quite a few other fine features to focus on—like the fact that this premium screen doubles as a hub. That’s pretty handy.

It isn’t just for laptops, either. Equipped with a USB-C host port and 2x USB-C ports (10Gbps), this plug-and-play monitor lets you connect with most video-capable USB-C devices—even phones and tablets. Plus, with 100W pass-through charging (85W to your device), this monitor keeps your laptop juiced while you work. If you don’t need to charge, the monitor can operate under bus power (bus-powered, by the way, just means your laptop powers it).

Brighter ’en You’d Expect

Sure, this might sound biased—because it clearly is—but the USBC-PDMON’s 15.6” 1920x1080 Full HD IPS display with its 60Hz refresh rate and 300 nits of brightness is just stunning. (Nits, if you didn’t gather from context is a unit to measure the brightness of a screen. And on a screen this size, partner, 300 nits looks real nice.)

It delivers sharp visuals and vibrant colors that’ll make you wonder how you ever thought you could work on a boring little laptop screen. Heck, you probably don’t even know how many nits that laptop screen has! The USBC-PDMON, on the other hand, is perfect for designers, content creators, or anyone who values vivid visuals. Even if those visuals are just an inbox that never gets to zero. Seriously, where are all of those emails coming from?

With its protective cover that doubles as a stand, you can stand this monitor up at multiple viewing angles, giving you the flexibility to work (or relax) from just about anywhere. Plus, the cover makes sure your monitor stays protected while you're out and about—not that you would ever toss it in a bag a little too carelessly.

It Doesn’t Just Stand Up, It Stands Out

There are a lot of portable monitors on the market. Like, a lot. And some of them are pretty cheap, too! Of course, “cheap” isn’t just describing the price. When considering a portable monitor, consider what you’re really paying for.

Look for these features when comparing different models. How are you connecting? A surprising number of portable displays rely on cheaper or outdated connection methods. HDMI, for example, is great if you’re connecting to a docking station, but when you’re on the go, stick with USB-C—it’s smaller, it delivers exceptional picture and sound, doesn’t need an adapter or special cord, and the best part, it can also deliver data and power.

Speaking of power delivery, what’s powering that cheaper display? It probably needs its own dedicated power supply (so that’ll be fun to carry around). Although you won’t want to carry it around too often. A lot of portable monitors cut costs by using cheaper displays and skimping on travel covers.

Who made that thing anyway? If the brand name consists of a collection of consonants crammed together, consider the consequences of contacting customer service (assuming they have customer service). With Plugable, you get a dedicated support staff based out of North America—a real nice group of folks, too. Of course, the USBC-PDMON is solidly built and incredibly intuitive, so you probably won’t need to contact them, but it’s nice to know they're available if you do.

Universally Compatible

Full disclosure, when we say “universally compatible”, we aren’t saying you can plug this display into just anything. Obviously, it won’t work with that old Amiga you’re reluctant to get rid of (It’s a collector’s item!). But if you’re on Mac, Windows, or Chrome—or perhaps you prefer to get things done on a phone or tablet—the Plugable USB-C Portable Monitor plays nice with most video-capable USB-C devices.

Now you can pick a spot, pull out your portable picture player, and dedicate a screen to email (Or maybe something better than email. Hopefully something better than email.). It’s perfect for working from a café, an airport lounge, the couch, or the supply closet you're hiding in because Barry in marketing won’t stop talking about his fishing trip to Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik Lake.

Why Settle for One Screen?

If you’re ready to take your productivity, creativity, and binge-watching to the next level, it’s time to meet your new sidekick. The Plugable USB-C Portable Monitor is here to offer the perfect blend of portability, performance, and cool.

After all, why settle for just one screen when you can have two? (And yes, that’s a rhetorical question.)
