This 15.6-inch Full HD portable monitor weighs just 1.6 pounds, and it's selling for a new record low.
Trying to work from a coffee shop with nothing but your laptop screen gets cramped if you need to reference multiple documents or spreadsheets at once. And gaming on the go means squinting at a small built-in screen instead of really experiencing your games properly. Arzopa's 15.6-inch portable monitor fixes these and many other scenarios by offering a second Full HD display for just 1.6 pounds and fitting in your backpack. Amazon has cut the price to $79 for this early Black Friday deal from the normal $104. This is an all-time low for this portable display and makes it one of the best options to increase screen real estate without adding the bulk of traditional monitors.

The 1920 x 1080 IPS panel provides clear text and true colors at 178-degree viewing angles so you have considerable latitude in positioning the monitor without color shift or brightness loss. This wide-angle viewing is helpful when sharing the screen with co-workers during a meeting, or when you need to place the monitor at an unconventional angle simply because you have only a sliver of desk space available. The IPS technology guarantees consistent image quality regardless of where you sit in relation to the screen, a factor more important than you think, especially if you are working a lot in temporary spaces like hotel rooms or coworking areas.
Arzopa built this monitor out of metal materials, instead of cheap plastic, so it has a solid feel that inspires confidence when tossing it into a bag. A built-in kickstand adjusts to multiple angles, letting you find the best viewing position based on your current setup. This kickstand folds flush against the back of the monitor when not in use, keeping the overall thickness to just 0.35 inches.
Connectivity options include most devices via USB-C and HDMI for plug-and-play operations across laptops, desktop computers, Macs, smartphones, and gaming consoles like Xbox, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. Without needing any drivers or apps, setting up really doesn't get any easier: you hook up the cable, and the monitor turns on.
The monitor has three different display modes which adapt to various types of workflows. Duplicate mode mirrors your main screen and works great for presentations, when you want the audience to see precisely what's on your laptop. Extend mode allows you to treat the portable monitor as extra desktop space, where you could drag windows between screens and effectively double your workspace. Meanwhile, second screen mode lets your smartphone work on the bigger display as either a desktop-style interface or a phone interface.
At 1.6 pounds, this monitor adds minimal weight to your travel kit compared with lugging around a full-size display. The light weight becomes meaningful when you are already carrying a laptop, charger, mouse, and other work essentials. Every pound counts in your bag, and this monitor keeps the weight penalty low while delivering the productivity benefits of dual screens.
The screen size of 15.6 inches is big enough to show full documents, spreadsheets, or web pages with minimal scrolling but still compact enough to fit on cramped airplane tray tables or small coffee shop counters. This hits a sweet spot between usability and portability that larger portable monitors miss. You get legitimate productivity gains without the awkwardness of trying to set up an 18-inch or larger screen in confined spaces.
At $79, this portable monitor certainly costs less than many people will pay for dinner for two and yet manages to deliver value every day thanks to gains in productivity and flexibility. The early Black Friday pricing is a great time to add a second screen to your mobile setup, especially given the fact that this matches the lowest price Amazon has previously offered on this model.
