Product Snapshot
Overview
The SideTrak Portable Monitor is an affordable, budget monitor released by Stand Steady back in mid-2019. The display is an excellent option for users who want two screens for increased productivity or users who need to have an extra monitor attached to their laptop for seamless use. Weighing only 1.65 pounds, the SideTrak Portable is a lot lighter compared to the Fiodio 15K3F-C at 3.9 pounds, making it much easier to carry around. It also boasts a Full HD resolution, and with seamless compatibility for both Macbook and Chromebook users, it will not require a lengthy setup process to get to work. Sit tight and read through the rest of this SideTrak Portable Monitor review to find out whether it can compete with some of the top computer monitors in the market.
