This Dual Monitor Laptop Screen Extender Is Now on Sale for 35% Off.
Laptop screen extenders allow you to increase your display area without costing more than two separate monitors. They’re also more compact, integrated, and portable, making them ideal for remote workers or students who need a mobile workstation with the largest possible workspace. The KYY 15.6-inch Laptop Screen Extender with a triple configuration (one screen on each side of the laptop display) is an excellent choice for those looking to maximize their laptop’s workspace. It’s currently 35% off, reducing the price to $227.99 (originally $349.99).
This portable monitor features a single-cable USB-C to USB-C connection for easy setup. Each screen features 1080p resolution, a matte finish, and up to 300 nits of brightness. They rotate 360 degrees and have a built-in stand for added flexibility.
Although this screen extender works with macOS, ChromeOS, and Android, you must first download the drivers rather than rely solely on a USB connection. One user noted that the included USB flash drive wasn’t readable on his MacBook Pro, so downloading the drivers is necessary to configure the monitors as extenders. Furthermore, setting these resolutions can be a challenge if you’re using a work laptop with limited permissions. Overall, these displays rely on software rather than a pure connection and video signal.
The monitor weighs 7.7 pounds (about 3.5 kg), making it fairly portable, but it’s not exactly an ultra-light monitor for the daily commute. And if you’re accustomed to ultra-sharp images, the 1080p resolution on the side screens may make text and fine details less sharp. It’s also worth noting that with a 60Hz refresh rate, this monitor is best suited for work and everyday use, not for lag-sensitive gaming or anyone requiring a high refresh rate.
Ultimately, if you don’t mind installing a driver—or using an adapter if your laptop doesn’t have a USB-C port— the KYY 15.6-inch Laptop Screen Extender is worth a look.
