ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and edtech solutions, introduces new display products at the Pepcom Digital Experience, Jan. 6th, 2025, in Las Vegas. The company will debut and showcase the latest line-up of desktop monitors that will be available in the first half of 2025. The new monitors include the ViewSonic VG2748N, a 1080p, 27-inch monitor with wireless casting, and the XG275D-4K, a 4K gaming monitor that offers switchable refresh rates and resolutions settings allowing gamers to play with a variety of gaming devices with a single monitor.

Along with the new VG2748N and XG275D-4K desktop monitors, which offer exceptional functionality and performance, the company will highlight its award-winning line of portable monitors, as well as its latest portable projector. "ViewSonic is excited about its new line of product offerings in 2025," said Jeff Muto, Business Line Director at ViewSonic. "Our new desktop monitors, along with our current slate of portable display devices, showcase how ViewSonic continues to expand its display solutions to offer more choices, features, and functionality to any type of work or play lifestyle."

Tech manufacturer JSAUX announces it will attend CES Las Vegas for the very first time during January 7-10. JSAUX's booth will be located at the LVCC - South Hall 1, booth no. 32344 and it will showcase a line up of new and exciting products from different categories: the FlipGo Horizon, a new entry in its family of portable monitors, and its accessories for iPhone.

Founded in 2016, JSAUX has established itself as a leading name in the gaming accessory market, with products recognized across 100+ countries. The brand's success stems from four key factors:

Portable monitors are undoubtedly a rather niche category of displays, but there sure are people who can greatly benefit from their existence. For such people, the recently announced Minisforum MDSA156 sure does sound like a great product, at least on paper. At a price of $231, the portable monitor is quite affordable too. In fact, the MDSA156 gives buyers not one, but two displays connected with a 315° hinge, with the bottom display having a kick stand built in which allows for multiple setups to fit varying use cases. The product sports dual Type-C ports, as well as an HDMI port for input.

Both the displays sport a 1080p 15.6 inch IPS panel, providing plenty of pixels for all kinds of workloads. Weighing in at just a hair below 1 kg (2.2 lbs), the MDSA156 is commendably portable as well. Minisforum's website has listed out a variety of setups for the product, which have been attached below. However, with a peak brightness of just 250 nits and a mere 45% coverage of the NTSC color gamut (72% of NTSC ≈ 100% sRGB), the MDSA156 is certainly not meant for any kind of professional usage on the go, at least the kinds that depend on color reproduction. For other workflows, however, the product does look enticing for those who can take advantage of the displays.

Display specialist AOC proudly presents the AOC 16T3EA, a versatile portable monitor that combines a bold design with stunning visuals, elevating the mobile computing experience to new heights. With thin bezels and a sleek design, the 15.6" (39.5 cm) AOC 16T3EA is designed to cater to the needs of professional consumers, digital nomads, and hybrid workers seeking a dynamic and reliable tool to enhance productivity and adaptability on the go.

The ease of connectivity and the portability empowers users to extend their screens seamlessly, making the 16T3EA ideal for a wide range of use cases.

Technology manufacturer JSAUX announces that, following the success of their FlipGo Pro, winner of the 2024 iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award, the company has launched a new version, the JSAUX FlipGo Portable Monitor Lite 15.6". This first product in the FlipGo Lite Series sports a market standard size of 15.6" (as compared to the FlipGo Pro models of 13.5 and 16" sizes). The FlipGo Lite will be available on JSAUX's website on early July for $299.

The dual-stacked portable monitor raised more than $1,000,000 in a Kickstarter campaign last February. The FlipGo is a portable monitor for a brave new world, where productivity and efficiency are paramount for digital nomads and remote workers. The new entry in the category, the FlipGo Lite, measures 15.6" and it's especially suitable for Windows computers. Thanks to its UltraView mode, which allows the dual-screen to function as a single monitor, users can grab their hands on a portable monitor that equals a 21" screen.

VAIO Corporation has introduced the "world's lightest" mobile display, the VAIO Vision+ 14", available for personal and corporate use. Weighing just 325 g, this device is designed for those who travel a lot, however, it can be a tempting companion at home and at the office. The VAIO Vision+ features a 14.0-inch wide LCD panel with a 16:10 aspect ratio and 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. Despite its large screen, it's thin at just 3.9 mm at its slimmest point. The display offers high brightness (400cd/m², 1200:1 contrast ratio), wide viewing angles (178° up/down/left/right), and a broad color gamut (sRGB 100%), with anti-glare treatment to reduce eye strain during extended use.

The VAIO Vision+ portable monitor can be connected and powered using a single USB Type-C cable, supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode and bus power operation (2x USB Type-C ports are included on the side). It can be positioned horizontally or vertically using the included cover stand, which protects the unit during transport. VAIO is also offering an optional privacy filter to prevent visual hacking in public spaces. The VAIO Vision+ is available at around $340.

PFU America, Inc., the U.S.-based subsidiary of PFU Limited and the leader in digital transformation solutions, today announced the launch of the RICOH Portable Monitor Series. Designed as an easily accessible, portable extra screen for enhanced creative collaboration, the new RICOH monitors feature vivid picture quality, a touch screen for drawing and writing, and the option of wired or wireless connectivity.

The RICOH Portable Monitor Series is available in two versions - a 150 wired model and the battery-powered 150BW wireless model. These new monitors are the world's lightest compared to other 15.6 inch touchable OLED products currently on the market, with the wired model weighing in at just over one pound - including the integrated stand, and despite having a touch display - with a super-slim bezel of less than one-fifth of an inch. Both monitors feature a 15.6" OLED display with exceptional image quality, including better contrast, higher brightness and rapid response time. Built for portability, two USB-C inputs near the center of the device enable easy connectivity to video display, or so that two devices connected wirelessly, such as a PC and a smartphone, can be connected at the same time, enabling switching between displays at the touch of a button. An integrated stand, cable management, and two integrated speakers make it easy to set up and manage power, input, and speaker controls.

ViewSonic has revealed a new 15.6-inch 4K OLED portable display, model name VX1622-K, to the Chinese public as reported by IT Home last week. This easily movable and convenient monitor is expected to get a global release in the near future - various hardware news outlets have found related documentation on Viewsonic's global site, as well as standard drivers signed for Windows 10 & 11 - so it seems that the VX1622-K is not destined to be a China-exclusive model.

Viewsonic's portable OLED monitor is similar in size to displays featured on industry standard laptops - coming in at 15.6 inches - its main surface is treated with an anti-glare multi-layer film. The panel can support resolutions going up to 4K (3840x2160px) resolution, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is capable of displaying a 60 Hz refresh rate, and can reach 440cd/㎡ maximum brightness, alongside a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Screen responsive is really good with a 1 ms measured rating. Visual professionals/creative-types should be happy with the display's 100% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, although there is a "TBD" marker next to this information on the spec sheet. Color depth is rated at 1.07 billion colors (8-bit + FRC) and settings can provide an HDR True Black 500 standard. The VX1622-K can be hooked up to computer hardware via its Mini-HDMI or Type-C connectors.

The new portable monitor Philips 16B1P3302D makes for the perfect travel buddy. The Philips 16B1P3302D will be released as part of the Philips monitors' portable series. The series' design identity of the monitor has won a title from the 2021 iF Product Design Award and was also a winner of the 2021 Red Dot Award. Thanks to its lightweight and portable design, the Philips 16B1P3302D is suitable to fit in a briefcase or a backpack with its 15.6-inch (39.6 cm diagonal) display size. In addition, the portable monitor features two USB-C ports on the side of the monitor and two USB-C cables can be plugged in and used simultaneously. These ports have several functions, such as delivering power to and from the device (USB Power Delivery), mirroring or extending the display for presentations and more (USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode), thus creating a dual-screen setup on the go for increased productivity.

The Philips 16B1P3302D makes the mobile workspace ergonomic and comfortable to use with its multi-angle stand that can tilt from 0 to 90 degrees, while the monitor's 170°/170° viewing angles thanks to the IPS panel technology allows clear viewing from almost any angle. In addition to a more personalised experience offered by its flexible stand, the Philips 16B1P3302D display also aims for high picture quality with its Full HD resolution, 75 Hz refresh rate and SmartImage technology to optimise the viewing experience according to the on-screen imagery by adjusting contrast, saturation, and sharpness.

Nex Computer LLC announced today the launch of NexPad: a portable monitor with built-in magnets that can attach to laptops for vertical dual-screen setup. Research shows that using dual monitors boosts productivity. However, using side-by-side monitors isn't always optimal because of the large gap between the monitors, diminishing the view. The side-by-side setup also spans outside of people's peripheral vision which can lead to neck strain.

NexPad's solution is a second display at an elevated height that can reduce neck strain and help improve posture, boosting productivity and convenience. "We are launching NexPad to enable the modern professional to be more productive in the ever more mobile workplace," said Emre Kosmaz, CEO and founder of Nex Computer. "Professionals in any industry can now enjoy the additional screen space to free themselves from the traditional desk setups by embracing flexibility and efficiency offered by NexPad."

In today's fast-paced world, mobility is a defining feature of everyday life - and greater mobility demands greater flexibility. Whether at home or at the office, with friends or with colleagues, multitasking or relaxing, users need solutions that can keep pace with their dynamic lifestyle. Thus, the Philips 16B1P3302, a brand-new, lightweight 16" (15.6" / 39.6 cm diag.) monitor is introduced. Rich in features yet highly portable for enhanced entertainment and productivity - all in a sleek, slim, multi-award-winning design.

"The Philips 16B1P3302 portable monitor was made for today's active, on-the-go lifestyle. We're past the traditional work environment and work life, welcoming hybrid work and extreme flexibility. This model combines the productivity and performance-boosting features of a fixed monitor with the easy portability of a laptop." - says Carlos Sanchez, Senior Product Manager for Europe at MMD Monitors & Displays.

ASUS today introduced the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH, a 15.6-inch portable monitor, which is a generational update to the ZenScreen MB14AC it launched back in 2020. Unlike its LED-backlit IPS-based predecessor, the MQ16AH uses an OLED panel, with Delta E <2, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 10-bit (1.07 billion colors), HDR-10, 100,000:1 contrast-ratio, and 360 cd/m² brightness, which can peak up to 400 cd/m². The display offers Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) native resolution, with 60 Hz refresh-rate, and 1 ms (GTG) response time. Display inputs include mini-HDMI (with a mini-to-standard HDMI cable), and two USB-C cables. If you use the HDMI, one of these has to be plugged in to a power source (included power brick); or if you use USB-C (with DP passthrough), that meets PD 20 W, a single cable can be used for both power and input. Measuring 358.7 mm x 226.15 mm x 8.95 mm (WxHxD), it weighs 650 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AOC expands its portfolio of portable monitors with the new I1601P. Portable screens are an easy solution for extending a single monitor set-up to a multi-monitor solution, whether on the go, at work or in the small home office. The 15.6" (39.5 cm) I1601P is compact and similar in size to laptop displays. The I1601P features Full HD resolution and IPS panel technology to produce rich colors and sharpness and wide viewing angles (170/170°). It can be connected via both USB-A and USB-C input, all thanks to the single cable solution (cable included in the box).

Whether working from home or in an office, a second screen boosts productivity by effectively doubling the workable screen real estate. For many it has become obvious that working on a single screen, such as a laptop display impedes workflows by causing a cluttered and overloaded work space. Of course, this also applies when working on the go. Users accustomed to working with two displays at their office desk will demand the same productivity increase also on the road, on the train or an airplane, or in the field.

[Editor's note: The monitor is available for $399 in the USA or equivalent in other regions]

The company didn't mention pricing.
