Is anyone using a second display for a laptop? If you are, what are the make and model if you know, and how do you like it?

I need a somewhat larger and better laptop display, and I am curious about the experiences of others with these - thanks!

I need a small, high res display that is USB and portable.

At work I have my laptop hooked up to two Dell 22 inch monitors using Display port cables. . I think they work just fine.

Thanks for the MHO.

re Update: Dell makes a good monitor with both USB C and displayport ports.

[msc545]

sadly my laptop only has USB B ports.

I don't think USB B will support graphics

HP 27q27. Great monitor. Have had 2 of them for almost 3 years. Has both display port and HDMI connection.

Thank you for MHO!

Responding to your update: five of my colleagues use this monitor: www.amazon.com/.../B091GFZNJ5 They swear by how awesome it is. I've seen it and it is both hi res and sharp.

Very nice - thanks I may buy this!

You can just use a standard TV, son. Get yourself a docking station, though

You only need a specialist monitor if you're going to be needing the fine detail.

I use 3 TV's and 3 monitors for my NOC centre. The three TV's are 43" UHD but not used for much data work. The three monitors are a BenQ PD3200U and 2 standard LG 32 monitors. 90% of people need nothing close to that.

Thank you for helping, but it needs to be portable... and I do need the detail...

I use a couple of Dell 26" monitors, they seem to work pretty well.

I don't use a laptop 😔

[On_cloud_wine]

@normalice you play video games right? When I was hunting for a laptop you helped me oh well

[normalice]

I play them on a PC and built my own. I have not built my own laptop, however. I don't even know if one could 🤷

[msc545]

@normalice it is possible no to pretty much build your own laptop to a large extent. Ha ve a look here at the framework laptop:
