CES 2026: espresso 15 Lite Added to World’s Best Portable Display Range

It’s no secret that we love espresso Displays. They are the best portable monitors in the market in our opinion, but they aren’t cheap. But as they say, “you get what you pay for,” and with this Australian brand, it’s all about quality.

But the wizards at espresso Displays have just announced at CES the espresso Lite 15, an entry-level monitor priced at US$249.

“So many people are now discovering the value of portable monitors, which is why we’re launching Lite 15 to meet the needs of a much broader audience. Lite 15 delivers great value and quality, while adding personality through its bold colour range,” said Will Scuderi, CEO and Co-Founder of espresso Displays. 

“espresso Lite 15 is the perfect entry point for anyone considering a portable monitor that delivers quality, performance, and reliability.”

Lite 15 is lightweight, durable, and simple to ‘plug and play’ with almost any device, from laptops and iPads, through to compatible smartphones. Powered with a single USB-C cable, it delivers 400 nits brightness but is only FHD resolution.

Lite 15 will be positioned at the entry point for the espresso Displays range, followed by the espresso Display 15, Touch 15, and its Pro 15 and 17 models. Each model in the espresso portfolio delivers to different needs of customers seeking additional screen space for work on the go.
