When it comes to monitors, I believe that everyone will not be unfamiliar. Now the display technology has been very mature, whether it is color, resolution, or what kind of strange shape, you can find the most suitable for your own one.
But when it comes to portable displays, many people may be blindfolded, and this thing?
Of course there is, and it is not the one you imagine, to remove the stand of an ordinary monitor.
It is a standalone product.
Portable display
Portable displays can already achieve 4K resolution, 100% P3 full color gamut, 100,000 contrast and 10bit color display, and even HDR, in terms of display and performance is basically no different from ordinary monitors.
But in some aspects, portable displays are still very different from ordinary displays, mainly the following three points.
Volume and weight
It can be seen literally that since it is a portable display, the weight is definitely much lighter than that of ordinary monitors. Most of the portable displays on the market are within 1 kilogram, and some can even reach about 500 grams.
In addition to the weight, the body of the portable display is also very thin. Take the EHOMEWEI O8 in my hand as an example, the thickness of its display has reached 4 milliseconds, even if the base bracket is closed, it is less than 10 mm, which is thinner than the notebook.
Put it in a bag and a little girl can easily carry it away with one hand.
Comparison of normal monitors with portable displays
OLED touchscreen technology
Portable displays For ordinary displays, the range of options for technical extension is wider.
Just like touch screen technology, portable displays are more suitable for adding touch functions than ordinary displays, because portable displays can be upright, can be placed obliquely, or can lie flat, and the screen size is also appropriate. So it's rare to see a normal display with touch, but it's very common on portable displays.
Touch technology
Some also come with an active stylus function, which is comparable to a pen tablet.
And now some portable displays use OLED screen technology, which is a step higher in display.

Interface aspect
On the interface, portable displays are also different from ordinary displays.
Limited by the body and product positioning, ordinary displays are usually only used as host displays, while portable displays are more used as second screens or mobile devices for mobile phones, tablets, notebooks.
Notebook second screen
Therefore, portable displays will generally be equipped with multiple Type-C interfaces, power supply ports and HDMI interfaces to facilitate docking of notebooks.
Portable display interface
After all, in order to thin the fuselage, the interface of today's notebooks has been replaced by Thunderbolt or Type-C.
Type-C has more obvious advantages than HDMI interface, only need a Type-C line, you can transmit the picture, in the case of split screen or the same screen, you can also touch the counter-control notebook through the portable display, without returning to the notebook to operate.
Touch technology
There are some other differences between portable displays and ordinary displays, such as portable monitors that can be powered by a charging treasure, have 3.5 audio output, and so on, but these are secondary.
So the above is the difference between portable displays and ordinary monitors.
