It ticks all the boxes I want (your wants might be different but these are mine) from my travel monitor:
- Between 19" and 20". Smaller is too small, larger doesn't fit into a carry on backpack.
- Digital input. (DP, HDMI, DVI at this res is the same and I have ultra thin HDMI cables and the adapters to DP and DVI both so I really don't care which.)
- Full HD. At this size, this is extremely rare.
- VESA mount. Not common for cheap monitors these days.
- Not-TN panel. Yuck @ TN.
Before this monitor, only the graphics tablet monitors at ten times the price ticked all of them. Two problems exist but they are easy to fix:
- The stand is not good for travel. Hey, it's VESA so just steal the graphics tablet stand and that's fixed.
- The power supply is internal so you can't just swap to any random 12V adapter with a two prong plug, you either need a PC power cable with the right plug (CEE 7/7, NEMA 5-15 are the most common but there are too many) wherever you travel or the Skross 3 Pole travel adapter. There are no other three prong adapters. And while the size is just gigantic compared to the Wonpro Nano or the so-small-it-fits-in-the-Schuko-outlet MOGICS, it's nowhere near as bad if it goes with the already big monitor. Currently, the Canadian Amazon sells this for cheaper than Amazon USA. I plan to carry my MOGICS Bagel for normal needs and the Skross solely for the monitor.
Even putting these all together, you will end up with a much travel cheaper monitor than a graphics tablet monitor not to mention that if the monitor breaks the two fix-up items can be transferred to the next monitor. I was always scared when checking in the Sharp LL-201A that was 400 USD and that was only because I got lucky, it retails for 600 USD. I will be sleeping much more soundly up front (hey, it's Flyertalk, we are not flying transatlantic on economy
) knowing that if the airline breaks the monitor I am only out of a 50 bucks monitor.
