HANNspree has today announced a new range of portable monitors. Ready for work or play on the fly, the new super-slim and lightweight 15.6 inch models need just one cable to create an instant dual-screen display. Choose between a standard (HL161CGB) or multi-touch display (HT161CGB) to extend your mobile workspace and keep you productive where you are.

Amongst the lightest portable monitors on the market, these new HANNspree models make for easy handling and are perfectly proportioned for slipping into a travel bag when you are away from the office or your home. A single Type-C USB 3.1 connector cable makes these monitors plug-and-play with almost any laptop or PC. Transferring data directly from the host and acting as an energy efficient power supply, this simple connection completely eliminates the need for additional media and power cables for optimal portability.





HANNspree's portable monitors feature Full HD panels presenting superb color and contrast for a striking visual display. They also boast 170° viewing angles, ensuring a vivid picture from extreme viewing positions making them ideal for mobile group presentations. Furthermore, each new portable model includes a toughened hard glass cover which is highly durable to withstand the rigors of travelling, as well as protective of dust, dirt, condensation, liquid spills and cleaning solutions.

To unlock the power of today's touch-enabled applications, the new HT161CGB portable monitor features a multi-touch display. Projected Capacitive Touch technology provides a smooth and accurate touch experience, with super-fast, sensitive touch responses and seamless dragging performance. Increasing interactivity, the HT161CGB responds to 10 finger touch points meaning multiple users can collaborate or play at the same time.

HANNspree's new portable monitor series includes an innovative, foldable smart case, which can also transform into a stand. These monitors also have stereo speakers on-board, so no need to lug around external speakers.

HannsG and HANNspree are two of the worst companies I've ever had to deal with. It is the only manufacturer where I've bought hardware (a 28" monitor,) and have had issues with every single replacement I got. After replacement #3 (display #4), I gave up. I will never buy their products again and I'll share this story every time I hear their name mentioned. Do yourself a favor and buy a display from literally any other company.

Well the panels are also completely not competitive. I mean, how hard is it to make a portable display, you take a display, remove the stand, copy/paste a tablet stand, done.

And then... look at those panel specs. 1999 called, it wants its prototype 'TFT' monitor back. WTF?! This is jaw-dropping horrible.

If you buy this, you shouldn't be around money or tech its really that simple. I'm genuinely surprised the production lines even still exist for this junk.

Seems to be par for course for these type of displays. Very few are over 250cd.

Hehe... but this one also has 800:1 static contrast and a whoppin 15ms response time. Might as well go with e-ink.

I bet its TN as well.
