our Verdict
![](https://www.gadgetreview.com/wp-content/uploads/robot-1-60x60.png)
The Espresso Display is a great FHD portable display with an impressive design and good performance. It has an IPS panel and a wide sRGB color gamut, plus a touch screen display to help you get more done at work and home. It’s slim and lightweight, so you can easily take it with you wherever you go. You may need to pay extra for the Mount Go and other stand accessories, but it’s still a great choice for those who need a portable monitor. Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for fast-paced games due to its limited refresh rate and lack of Freesync or G-Sync compatibility. Plus, you’ll need to pay extra for touch screen accessibility on Mac.
ReasonS to Buy
- Extremely thin and lightweight
- Excellent color gamut with sRGB coverage
- Touch screen display
- Mount Go stand compatible
Reason to Avoid
- Mounting stand accessories need to be bought separately
- Touchscreen accessibility for Mac needs extra payment.
- Screen is reflective
