Taipei –According to consumer tech rules, every pedestrian type product eventually erupts more and more specializing, in which every micro -nach is served, which the market can consider. Take a portable monitor. For the past few years, these easy panels have been gaining popularity, especially with the adoption of display port on the USB-C in modern laptops. The thin USB-C enables beautiful, easy contacts between laptops and monitors, often carrying electricity to run the display.
But standard 14- and 15 inches, single display IPS portable monitor looks like they are getting a beautiful pass nowadays. Just before the inauguration of the computer from Acer 2025 in Taipei, we met the former on the heels of some recent cool innovations in the portable display with the choice of ASUS and MSI. Zen screen pair We just experienced and later with a Nifty 23.4 -inch production capacity panel Pro MP242e E10That we saw in CES 2025. Acer increased them all and reacted to a large player-AR, a panel that was bothering in some envelopes. Or two
Multi -display portable monitors are now ‘a thing’: Acer’s PD243y E and PD163qt
Start with Acer PD243y E, first shown in computer. This twin panel reminds the portable monitor Zen screen pair, but is widely pumped. You find two 1080p display at the Lost 23.5 inches, decorated on top of each other, with the upper panel being positioned as four hollows. Acer notes that you can bend it through a range of 0 to 310 degrees.

I looked at these hits with curiosity – four, why? But in retreat, in opening and closing the panel, it has perfect meaning. Mainly to suspend the top 24 -inch monitor One more A 24 -inch monitor without a traditional monitor stand or arm, nor does it wander, this is an unusual thing. The hollows are tight and helps help. PD243y e seemed to be stable in our short manipulation.
You can argue that 1080p in 24 inches is just a slightly acceptable resolution at that day and age. But the use of basic productivity is in fact a quite serving. When you are trying to track your eyes from the screen to the screen fast, the big characters screen is an honor, which transmits the attention between the laptop screen and these two other panels. We are watching the 1440p and even attacking more and more screens on the 4K laptop, and trying to make this level description on three different display is not always easy or desired.

Now, of course, calling it a “portable” monitor may increase slightly according to the standard of joint models today. If you need to break from the room to another room, a kick stand on the back of PD243y E can also work as a handle for this device, and if you want to mount the wall or arm, Acer has designed the growing holes on the back. If you turn it off (it turns off, a clam shell laptop style), you can also take it under the arm. Transportation is huge in the way you may be a laptop and its matching portable monitors, but it is fine to change the place around the house.

I can look at such a stacked panel with a thrilling panel from a thrilling panel, pulling information from a number of sources to day traders, work -home multi -toasers, and knowledge workers. Stand it with a 16 -inch or more laptop, and you have a very attractive multi -display work station that you can remove by adding to a moment’s notice. (Kitchen table workers have never had that good.) Besides, PD243y ESB-C and Mini-HDMI support both input, so it is flexible if none of what you want to connect to the display port on the USB-C.

Eser also showed another twin screener, which included Zen screen pair, PD163QT, a pair of 15.6 inch 1080p panel. Like its big relatives, PD163QT steaks two panels on its long edges and can be used in landscape or portrait orientation. It has a handle -shaped kick stand like the above model, and you can turn it off.

It is a “simple” pair of 1080p panels, but this unit has a headphone jack and will support the USB-C or HDMI. And if you are inclined to use them, it has a bullet in speaker.
If 1080p is not enough, PE160WU also engulfed our eye. It is a single 16 -inch OLED panel containing WQXGA+ Resolution (2,880 by 1,800). According to Esar, it covers 100 % DCI-P3 gamit, and it should showcase less than 2-color-colored sincere reading. It also has a clean peak refresh rate of 120 herts, which makes it not only appeals to traditional content workers but also to gamers and game Davis. Certainly, this is not unique. Asus, for one, has for some time for this crowd, OLED portables in the line of offering. But in this category, unity is clearly starting.

Get your big screen game: Acer Nitro PG271k
Another Acer display in which I saw, indicated another direction whether portable, or semi -portable, were running display. You can call the Nitro PG271K another leagues on the portable monitor, but it is a single panel that has a more specific load out of the usual lightweight production capacity. Really, she reminded me a little like a pc HP jealousy move. This large panel enables one household to make a slight uproar from one room to another, or wall mount.

These days, any gaming monitor is appreciated at a maximum of 60 herits refresh rate, and it is a 144hz panel using routine IPS tech. (Well, it’s technically in 72Hz Max 4K; 144Hz applies to only 1080p.) This is not a top space model like 500 Herz Monsters, more than 500 hits of arms race created for the Sports elite, but a very capable service panel for everyday game, and then something.
The fact is, gaming -based portable monitors are already there, but Nitro PG 271 has some special discriminations apart from being so large: as a leapable model, 27 inches and with 4K resolution (3,840 by 2,160), it is a small TV or everyday Gaming Monitor. Or A desktop) for a darker room or a baby’s bedroom. And you can move it wherever you want to play or watch. This game can work well along with a good size display to connect the game console ad hoc, especially like the Nintendo Switch, itself is used flexible in different places at different times. (This is not just a USB-C/Display port but also HDMI- capable.)
