PFU America, Inc., the U.S.-based subsidiary of PFU Limited and the leader in digital transformation solutions, today announced the launch of the RICOH Portable Monitor Series. Designed as an easily accessible, portable extra screen for enhanced creative collaboration, the new RICOH monitors feature vivid picture quality, a touch screen for drawing and writing, and the option of wired or wireless connectivity.

The RICOH Portable Monitor Series is available in two versions - a 150 wired model and the battery-powered 150BW wireless model. These new monitors are the world's lightest compared to other 15.6 inch touchable OLED products currently on the market, with the wired model weighing in at just over one pound - including the integrated stand, and despite having a touch display - with a super-slim bezel of less than one-fifth of an inch. Both monitors feature a 15.6" OLED display with exceptional image quality, including better contrast, higher brightness and rapid response time. Built for portability, two USB-C inputs near the center of the device enable easy connectivity to video display, or so that two devices connected wirelessly, such as a PC and a smartphone, can be connected at the same time, enabling switching between displays at the touch of a button. An integrated stand, cable management, and two integrated speakers make it easy to set up and manage power, input, and speaker controls.

ViewSonic has revealed a new 15.6-inch 4K OLED portable display, model name VX1622-K, to the Chinese public as reported by IT Home last week. This easily movable and convenient monitor is expected to get a global release in the near future - various hardware news outlets have found related documentation on Viewsonic's global site, as well as standard drivers signed for Windows 10 & 11 - so it seems that the VX1622-K is not destined to be a China-exclusive model.

Viewsonic's portable OLED monitor is similar in size to displays featured on industry standard laptops - coming in at 15.6 inches - its main surface is treated with an anti-glare multi-layer film. The panel can support resolutions going up to 4K (3840x2160px) resolution, with an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is capable of displaying a 60 Hz refresh rate, and can reach 440cd/㎡ maximum brightness, alongside a contrast ratio of 1,000,000:1. Screen responsive is really good with a 1 ms measured rating. Visual professionals/creative-types should be happy with the display's 100% Adobe RGB and DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, although there is a "TBD" marker next to this information on the spec sheet. Color depth is rated at 1.07 billion colors (8-bit + FRC) and settings can provide an HDR True Black 500 standard. The VX1622-K can be hooked up to computer hardware via its Mini-HDMI or Type-C connectors.

The new portable monitor Philips 16B1P3302D makes for the perfect travel buddy. The Philips 16B1P3302D will be released as part of the Philips monitors' portable series. The series' design identity of the monitor has won a title from the 2021 iF Product Design Award and was also a winner of the 2021 Red Dot Award. Thanks to its lightweight and portable design, the Philips 16B1P3302D is suitable to fit in a briefcase or a backpack with its 15.6-inch (39.6 cm diagonal) display size. In addition, the portable monitor features two USB-C ports on the side of the monitor and two USB-C cables can be plugged in and used simultaneously. These ports have several functions, such as delivering power to and from the device (USB Power Delivery), mirroring or extending the display for presentations and more (USB-C DisplayPort Alt mode), thus creating a dual-screen setup on the go for increased productivity.

The Philips 16B1P3302D makes the mobile workspace ergonomic and comfortable to use with its multi-angle stand that can tilt from 0 to 90 degrees, while the monitor's 170°/170° viewing angles thanks to the IPS panel technology allows clear viewing from almost any angle. In addition to a more personalised experience offered by its flexible stand, the Philips 16B1P3302D display also aims for high picture quality with its Full HD resolution, 75 Hz refresh rate and SmartImage technology to optimise the viewing experience according to the on-screen imagery by adjusting contrast, saturation, and sharpness.

Nex Computer LLC announced today the launch of NexPad: a portable monitor with built-in magnets that can attach to laptops for vertical dual-screen setup. Research shows that using dual monitors boosts productivity. However, using side-by-side monitors isn't always optimal because of the large gap between the monitors, diminishing the view. The side-by-side setup also spans outside of people's peripheral vision which can lead to neck strain.

NexPad's solution is a second display at an elevated height that can reduce neck strain and help improve posture, boosting productivity and convenience. "We are launching NexPad to enable the modern professional to be more productive in the ever more mobile workplace," said Emre Kosmaz, CEO and founder of Nex Computer. "Professionals in any industry can now enjoy the additional screen space to free themselves from the traditional desk setups by embracing flexibility and efficiency offered by NexPad."

In today's fast-paced world, mobility is a defining feature of everyday life - and greater mobility demands greater flexibility. Whether at home or at the office, with friends or with colleagues, multitasking or relaxing, users need solutions that can keep pace with their dynamic lifestyle. Thus, the Philips 16B1P3302, a brand-new, lightweight 16" (15.6" / 39.6 cm diag.) monitor is introduced. Rich in features yet highly portable for enhanced entertainment and productivity - all in a sleek, slim, multi-award-winning design.

"The Philips 16B1P3302 portable monitor was made for today's active, on-the-go lifestyle. We're past the traditional work environment and work life, welcoming hybrid work and extreme flexibility. This model combines the productivity and performance-boosting features of a fixed monitor with the easy portability of a laptop." - says Carlos Sanchez, Senior Product Manager for Europe at MMD Monitors & Displays.

ASUS today introduced the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH, a 15.6-inch portable monitor, which is a generational update to the ZenScreen MB14AC it launched back in 2020. Unlike its LED-backlit IPS-based predecessor, the MQ16AH uses an OLED panel, with Delta E <2, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 10-bit (1.07 billion colors), HDR-10, 100,000:1 contrast-ratio, and 360 cd/m² brightness, which can peak up to 400 cd/m². The display offers Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) native resolution, with 60 Hz refresh-rate, and 1 ms (GTG) response time. Display inputs include mini-HDMI (with a mini-to-standard HDMI cable), and two USB-C cables. If you use the HDMI, one of these has to be plugged in to a power source (included power brick); or if you use USB-C (with DP passthrough), that meets PD 20 W, a single cable can be used for both power and input. Measuring 358.7 mm x 226.15 mm x 8.95 mm (WxHxD), it weighs 650 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

AOC expands its portfolio of portable monitors with the new I1601P. Portable screens are an easy solution for extending a single monitor set-up to a multi-monitor solution, whether on the go, at work or in the small home office. The 15.6" (39.5 cm) I1601P is compact and similar in size to laptop displays. The I1601P features Full HD resolution and IPS panel technology to produce rich colors and sharpness and wide viewing angles (170/170°). It can be connected via both USB-A and USB-C input, all thanks to the single cable solution (cable included in the box).

Whether working from home or in an office, a second screen boosts productivity by effectively doubling the workable screen real estate. For many it has become obvious that working on a single screen, such as a laptop display impedes workflows by causing a cluttered and overloaded work space. Of course, this also applies when working on the go. Users accustomed to working with two displays at their office desk will demand the same productivity increase also on the road, on the train or an airplane, or in the field.

[Editor's note: The monitor is available for $399 in the USA or equivalent in other regions]
