About this deal

If you’ll be using a portable monitor with your laptop computer, for the best experience, choose a monitor size that’s about the same as your laptop’s display and then position the two monitors side-by-side at the same height. If you’re using a three display portable monitor setup, or a specialty portable monitor, this suggestion does not apply. I had two more issues with the Xebec Tri-Screen 2, and while neither are dealbreakers, they’re worth noting. Impressively, the Tri-Screen 2 only weighs 900g. I tested the device on two laptops, a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro and a Lenovo ThinkPad X1. It worked well with both. Xebec’s Tri-Screen 2 expands your laptop from a single display to a triple-display setup. The main drawcard here is its portability. You can slide the screens inwards and then leave them attached to the laptop – it adds a bit of bulk to the width of your laptop, but it’s still slim enough to fit into a laptop bag. The monitor comes with a cover that doubles as a four-position stand. This allows you to position the monitor in landscape or portrait mode (optional desktop tripod mount sold separately). Thanks to its ultra-thin design and light weight, this monitor is easy to transport. If you plan to use the monitor in a brightly lit space, the box it comes in can works as a monitor hood to protect the display from glare.

The Lenovo ThinkVision M14d features a compact, 14-inch 2.2K display that delivers sharp text and images. It has a 16:10 aspect ratio, 60Hz refresh rate and a 178-degree field of view. The monitor uses an adjustable hinged stand, which folds inward to makes it super easy to transport—especially since the display weighs just 1.3 pounds. The display has up to 300 nits brightness and a high contrast ratio (1,500:1), which together help make content look good on the screen—even in a brightly lit areas. Screen size: 15.6-inch | Screen type: LCD | Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080 pixels | Ports: USB Type-C, HDMI | Weight: 2 pounds | Dimensions: 14 x 8.9 x .5 inches | Speakers: Dual stereo It’s important to know that both displays must be independently plugged into the laptop. There are multiple ways you can do this.

If you are having audio issues or no longer hearing any sound from your laptop speakers after installing the Xebec Tri-Screen, have no fear - this is a super simple adjustment!.

It works with Mac, Windows, Linux, Chromebook and any device with a video out source. Below we will take a deep dive for those who have specific compataiblity questions. If you too are curious, read on!

I’ve given the Xebec Tri Screen 2 a 7/10 for ease of use because I found it pretty confusing to set up, but it’s super easy once you get it going. The Tri-Screen is compatible with the Microsoft Surface Pro (versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X). However, adjustments will be needed: If you are using a USB splitter or USB-Hub try plugging the cables directly into the laptop ports instead of the hub or splitter and see if that fixes the problem. Most splitters and hubs split the power from a single USB port thus restricting the required power supply to each screen. Also while traveling through airports, space is often limited and I find it easiest to work with my laptop just sitting in my lap. Or I work on the plane with my laptop on the tray table.The Arzopa E1 Extreme goes the distance, delivering a 4K display with a 178-degree field of view. It offers excellent colors, with support for HDR imaging, 100% of Adobe RGB spectrum and a 1500:1 contrast ratio. At 400 nits peak brightness, this model is bright enough to use in bright environments. It also comes with a magnetic Smart Cover that doubles as a stand. Thanks to its high resolution, the Arzopa E1 Extreme is ideal for creators engaging in photo and video editing or live streaming. If you don't have an available HDMI port then you can use any other video out port shown above, along with a simple HDMI adapter for video and the USB-A to USB-C cable for power. As I mentioned, I do often use the Xebec Tri Screen 2 when I’m working at home on my kitchen table. If you notice that the Tri-Screen monitors appear faded or washed out, this may be the result of your laptop automatically turning on an HDR (High Dynamic Range) setting after plugging in the Tri-Screen. This will cause the color washout because the Tri-Screen monitors are not HDR compatible. How to adjust the brightness of the screens. Basic brightness adjustments can be made via the '+' and '-' buttons located at the top of each screen. The screens are independent of each other, so the brightness of each screen can be adjusted separatel How do I use pass-through charging on the Tri-Screen 2?

Screen size: 15.6-inch | Screen type: IPS | Resolution: 3,840 x 2,160 pixels | Ports: USB Type-C, Mini HDMI | Weight: 1.4 pounds | Dimensions: 14 x 8.7 x 0.4 inches | Speakers: Dual stereo The only problem with this design was each time I moved, I had to take all the cables out. This can get a bit tedious, but it’s a lot better than carrying an extra monitor around. I also didn’t have anywhere to put them. It meant they would have to sit free in my bag, which wasn’t ideal.

The Verdict: A Must-Own for Traveling Workaholics

So I love using the Xebec Tri Screen 2 at home. But I don’t love using it for traveling by air, especially when you only have limited space in a carry-on and limited space to work on the go. With the proper drivers installed, almost any portable monitor will work with almost any Windows PC or MacBook laptop computer. For the best user experience, position the additional monitor directly to the side of your laptop computer’s existing monitor, making sure they’re both at the same height. Or, choose a vertical portrait orientation, so you can see a document in a longer length, just as you can on a tablet. Please note that this is different from the "Power Only" port, despite the fact that they are the same shape. The "Power Only" port is indicated with a battery symbol.

So I love using the Xebec at home, but I don’t take it with me during air travel because I find it too bulky and it needs a wide, flat surface. If you’re mainly traveling on land, then you won’t have bags with a weight limit and it’s easier to find a table to work on. In that case, you should have no problem taking the Xebec Tri Screen 2 around with you. To help with battery usage, you can independently adjust the brightness levels on each display. There are dedicated buttons on top of each for this, but even at lower levels, the battery went down fast. Verdict After a number of years in the corporate consulting world, the original Tri-Screen (or “The Xebec” as we called it then) was born out of the need to have multiple screens while we were working on the road. Once we built it, we knew we were on to more than just a product but a new way to live and work.

Select the box representing the screen with the washed out color. This box should have a ‘2’ or ‘3’ inside of it
