Working from your laptop can be a nightmare. Especially if it’s really small (they call them ultra-portable!) – you can’t even split a screen properly without wanting to head to the eye doctor for new glasses! And switching between desktops and tabs? Don't get me started. So, if you are frustrated working on the go (like me) then you are in for a treat.

I have spent a few (or more) hours looking for the best portable monitors to make your life and work on the go oh so much easier. First, I'll show you what makes a good portable monitor, and then we’ll check out the best ones that are currently available (in 2018). There are a few things that you want to have in a really good portable monitor. So, let's break it down to help you make the best buying decision. Size (Well, duh!) First of all, it needs to be large enough so that you can work properly.

Especially if you own a 11” or a 13” laptop – you will want to get a monitor that is larger than that. Otherwise, what’s the point, right? Keep in mind that although bigger is better, it also needs to still be portable. So have a think about what kind of bag, purse or backpack you are going to be carrying it around in. What size laptop can that fit for example? Check out the product page from the manufacturer and look for the internal length/width or any mention of laptop sizes. Worst case, send them an email.

Weight (Do You Want To Carry That Much Weight?) It needs to be lightweight, of course! If you’re dragging around a 10lb monitor, you might as take your desktop computer with you, right? A really good travel monitor should weigh less than 3lbs.

That way, it will be easy to carry around, and it won’t add too much weight to your luggage, which is quite important for air travel. Especially if you want to avoid any overweight baggage fees. Even if you are never going on a plane with it, imagine adding a large rock to your bag every time you head out the door to work!

The lighter that rock (your new portable monitor) is the better, right? But if you're looking to get a really large monitor, you will have to compromise on its weight. On top of that, you will struggle to find a true 'portable' monitor that is 20' or bigger. It kind of defeats the purpose.

To share a USB drive between a Mac and a Windows PC, there are two disk formats to choose from: exFAT and FAT32. The other formats -- Microsoft's NTFS and Apple's Mac OS Extended -- don't work well on the other operating system.

But you can find a regular monitor that is extremely slim and lightweight. Connections (Does It Work With Your Gear?) It should also be easy to connect to your laptop, preferably with a regular USB port. That will allow you to pack lighter, since you won’t have to take five different cables that your ‘portable’ monitor requires. I’m mostly talking about HDMI cables – because they’re long, bulky and not at all practical. If you own a MacBook Air, you don’t even have an HDMI port and getting a monitor with one would be a waste of money. However, there are certain advantages to a monitor with HDMI input, for one there is no need for drivers. So this one is up to you - you might want a monitor that can work with just one cable, but it's a bit more difficult to set up, or a monitor that requires a few more cables, but requires nothing other than them.
