This portable OLED monitor for laptops is shockingly cheap

OLED monitors are all the rage for desktop PCs, and you can find them for less than you might think. But what if you want something on the go, or just want to add a little extra space to your primary setup? Then check out this OLED portable monitor, just $109.99 on Amazon.
The Vilva 13.3-inch portable monitor is pretty typical of these white-box designs, and you can certainly find a 13-inch 1080p portable monitor for less. But with a vibrant OLED panel giving much better colors and perfect contrast, I think it’s worth a little extra for this, especially if you’re using it next to an OLED monitor or laptop. A similar design from a name brand costs about three times as much, if you were wondering.
This design includes double USB-C ports for pass-through charging (meaning it’s a great companion to phones, tablets, and handheld PCs), plus a Mini HDMI port for connecting to older devices. I also like the magnetic kickstand. I wouldn’t suggest this one if you work outside frequently—OLED panels are typically lacking in brightness versus LCD—and I don’t know if I would trust its “waterproof” claim.
Amazon is showing it on sale down from $120, which is already a pretty good price for a portable OLED monitor. If it’s not to your liking, check out PCWorld’s picks for the best monitors on the market right now.
