Minisforum unveils innovative portable monitor with dual 1080p screens for $231

Something to Look Forward To: A Portable Dual-Screen Monitor

The MDSA156 from Minisforum is a unique portable monitor that unfolds to reveal two 15.6-inch 1080p IPS displays connected by a 315-degree hinge. The bottom screen includes a built-in kickstand, allowing for various orientations and angles to suit your needs.

Weighing just 2.2 pounds, this dual-screen setup is impressively lightweight. With dual USB-C ports and an HDMI input, the MDSA156 easily connects to laptops, tablets, or smartphones, providing a quick and convenient way to expand your screen real estate on the go.

The monitor also features stereo speakers and consumes up to 30 watts of power. It is designed for various use cases, including office work, business meetings, gaming, travel, and online courses. The promotional graphics showcase versatile configurations to enhance productivity and multitasking.

While the monitor offers a unique dual-screen form factor at an affordable price point of $231, it may not be suitable for professional photo or video editing due to its 250-nit peak brightness and limited color gamut. For color-critical work, alternatives like the Edge 4K OLED Ultralight Portable Magnetic Monitor may be more suitable.

Overall, the MDSA156 is a fantastic solution for digital nomads looking to enhance their productivity without adding significant bulk to their gear. Consider your workflow needs and preferences to determine if this portable dual-screen monitor is the right fit for you.
