An additional monitor to help you be more productive

If your device supports DisplayPort Alternate Mode over USB-C, you’ll need only a single cable connection for video and charging. If your laptop doesn’t support video transmission through its USB-C port, use the mini-HDMI port for video and another USB-C port for power from either a wall outlet or a battery pack. KYY supplies both cables and a wall adapter, so you’ll have everything you need to start immediately.

A matte finish greatly reduces glare compared to glossy finishes because it absorbs overhead lighting and window reflections better. Second screens are often used at angles rather than viewed head-on. As long as you’re within the monitor’s 178-degree viewing area, the IPS panel’s consistent colors help ensure your content looks excellent no matter where you sit.

Second screens are particularly effective when they’re configured in portrait mode. For example, reading long documents or writing code are tasks best done in portrait mode. Compared with rotating your screen into portrait mode, the wider horizontal layout gives you fewer vertical lines. The monitor’s included smart cover also provides support in either landscape or portrait orientation.

The KYY 15.6-inch Portable Monitor works with laptops, desktops, mobile phones, Apple MacBook models, and even gaming systems like the PS5, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch, making it a solid travel companion for both work and gaming. The two USB-C connectors on the sides of the monitor offer greater versatility in how many devices you can connect simultaneously.

The monitor includes a protective PU leather case for travel, and you can also prop it up on your desk once you arrive at your destination. The case is designed to fold into a stand and will allow the monitor to sit comfortably at a desired viewing angle, landscape or portrait, without requiring you to lean it against something like a book. The built-in speakers provide all the audio you need when you don’t have access to headphones. If you prefer a private listening experience, a 3.5mm headphone jack is also on the side of the monitor. At $59, down from $70, setup takes a couple of minutes after you unbox everything, and it requires no software or drivers on your computer.
