Consensus

our Verdict

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.

Reason 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
