Laptop docking and display specialist UPerfect has launched a new portable monitor which utilizes twin 15.6-inch FHD displays in a clamshell form factor (h/t Liliputing). The firm says its UStation Delta solution is great for expanding the desktop working area of laptops and computers, and its built-in adjustable stand and VESA mounting option supports such use cases.
Portable monitors are great for road warriors. While bigger is better, up to a limit, a folding display like the UPerfect UStation Delta is a good compromise between having extra portable screen area and physical portability. The twin 15.6-inch hinged IPS technology displays each offer 1920 x 1080 pixels to add to your setup. The ‘portability price’ is the size 358 × 221 × 22 mm (14.09 × 8.7 × 0.87 inch) and pretty substantial weight of 1.55 kg (3.42 lbs). We guess one of the contributors to this physical presence is the built-in 10,800 mAh battery, which is claimed to provide a run time of 3-4 hours. The battery takes about 3-4 hours to charge, too, according to the manufacturer.

We have some uncertainties about the above specs, which we gathered from the product pages. UPerfect mentions that the monitors are 300 nits and offer 100% sRGB, but Liliputing says these figures are 250 nits and 72% sRGB. Also keep in mind that the UStation Delta isn’t a touch-screen device, and doesn’t have built-in speaker(s) – quite common features of portable monitors.
UPerfect has the UStation Delta up for pre-order at a hefty $629 with worldwide shipping. Orders will be fulfilled in late June, according to the company. Currently there is a $200 discount code shared on the product page, but we would wait for independent third-party reviews before recommending anyone spends their hard earned cash.
