This screen is designed to provide a practical solution for professionals, designers, and students who need a second interactive screen that can be easily carried. Its features are as follows:

Highly responsive interactive touchscreen (10-point multi-touch)

The standout feature of this screen is its support for multi-touch up to 10 points simultaneously (Projected Capacitive), allowing you to scroll, zoom, and draw smoothly just like you would on your tablet or smartphone. To ensure the screen's durability, the glass interface comes with a strong protective layer (≧6H Hard Coating) that is scratch-resistant and has a special treatment to reduce fingerprints (Anti-fingerprint).

Excellent display quality and lightweight design

The screen is 15.6 inches in size (which is the standard size for most laptops) and relies on anIPSpanel with a resolution ofFHD (1920 x 1080). This ensures wide viewing angles of up to 178 degrees and clear images. Despite these capabilities, the screen is extremely lightweight, weighing less than one kilogram (0.96 kg), and has a very slim profile (less than 1.5 cm), making it easy to fit in a backpack or laptop bag without any extra burden.

Comprehensive connectivity options and dual USB-C ports

The screen offers exceptional flexibility in connectivity; it comes equipped with twoUSB-Cports that support video, data, and power transfer simultaneously (with support for charging up to 60 watts), meaning you can power the screen and transfer the image from your device using just one cable. Additionally, the screen has aMini HDMIport for compatibility with other devices that do not support USB-C, and a 3.5mm audio output.

Built-in ergonomic stand and additional features

You don't need to carry extra stands, as the monitor comes with a strong, foldable built-in stand that allows you to adjust the viewing angle flexibly between 20 to 60 degrees to suit your sitting position. The monitor also features built-in speakers that meet basic audio needs and supports Low Blue Light technology, which is comfortable for the eyes during long periods of use.
