Who needs fancy dual-screen laptops like the Lenovo ThinkBook Plus G3 or Asus ZenBook Duo when you can just connect a super lightweight external monitor to almost any PC? Amazon is running a sale on three 15.6-inch Lepow portable monitors lasting until October 2. The models are as follows:
- Lepow 2022 C2 Series
- Original price: $199
- Final price: $129
- Lepow standard series
- Original price: $199
- Final price: $149
- Lepow Z1 series
- Original price: $219
- Final price: $175
The C2 series is the standard 15.6-inch FHD IPS display with support for Type-C, mini DP, and HDMI video. Its wide range of ports allows for compatibility with PCs, Macs, gaming consoles, and more. Color is limited to just ~60 percent of sRGB, however, meaning that the C2 is unfit for most graphics editing.
The second series is the standard series which is essentially the same as the C2 in terms of image quality but with no mini-DisplayPort or hinged stand to prop up the screen. Instead, the model comes with a protective foldable smart cover that frequent travelers might appreciate. Note that the cover isn't as sturdy as the hinge on the C2 for propping up the screen and so we recommend the C2 over the standard series for easier usability.
The last model is the Z1 with >90 percent sRGB coverage and a higher contrast ratio for a much better picture than the C2 or standard series. It's a bit more expensive, however, and its folding smart cover stand is again not as reliable as the hinges on the C2 series.
There are pros and cons to each model to fit different usage scenarios. If you plan on using the portable monitor frequently, then the Z1 may be the better investment solely for its higher picture quality.
