Australian global success story espresso Displays has just released a new ‘entry level’ portable monitor for less than A$500. This is a non-touch screen, enabling the cheaper price. It also comes with Stand+, a newly designed magnetic stand that will enable the monitor to sit behind-and-above a laptop.
“We believe ergonomics and productivity shouldn’t have to be jeopardised by travel, which is why we created Stand+, a breakthrough for achieving more natural viewing angles that we know our customers are seeking in their portable workstations,” said espresso Displays CEO and cofounder, Will Scuderi.
espresso Display 15, like the company’s other monitors, offers a simple plug-and-play setup through a single USB-C cable connection to a laptop or other compatible device. When attached to the magnetic Stand+ users can comfortably view content without a large footprint.
Stand+ is backwards compatible with all existing espresso Display 13-inch and 15-inch models. It’s made from durable aerospace aluminium with durable rubber pads to create a secure setup on any table or desk. It weighs 865g (2lbs) and it’s just 5.3mm (0.2-inches) thick, making it one of the world’s thinnest, lightest, and toughest displays on the market.
“espressoDisplay 15 is designed to the highest standards by our in-house engineers and represents our firm commitment to making the best portable monitors on the market at every possible price point,” added Scuderi.
“Every espresso Displays product is designed to be a category leader and deliver the best portable monitor experience for professionals that work on the go or travel frequently.”
espresso Display 15 is also colour calibrated from the factory line.
A new software feature called ‘Glide’ will be added to espresso’s multi-screen management software, espresso Flow. Glide offers a new, seamless setup experience by removing the need for users to manually arrange their displays in their laptop settings.
Glide adjusts a user’s digital display arrangement to match the physical location of their monitor to the left, right, above, or below their laptop screen. The user simply pushes their cursor the side of their screen to adjust their display arrangement.
