Are Portable Monitors Worth It? | Espresso 17 Pro Hands-on Review!

Is this monitor for movies or office productivity? Red I p s panels have better text legibility than oled

Sadly,..you don't mention how miserable the pen is for anyone wanting this for art or design. It uses the horrific Microsoft Pen Protocol which introduces the jagged and wobbly lines without even trying. What a DEAL KILLER!!!! If they would have used the Wacom tech in the stylus then this thing would be INCREDIBLE!

I dont like its 60hz i think 120hz should be the standard

Does it have an HDMI port? If I could connect gaming consoles to it on the go then it’d be worth it

is it compatible with mac mini or studio?

🐬

The value, to me, hinges on how good that pen input is. Nobody seems to be focussing on that, and the espresso website mentions no specs for it. Which leads me to suspect that it's not very good, or at least not good enough to be a legitimate competitor to the current offerings from Apple, Wacom, Huion, etc that particularly focus on that aspect.
If it's got pen input that rivals Wacom, then the espresso pro is very well priced, and even offers a significant advantage with the single USB-C connection. If it's just a capacitive pen with no pressure sensitivity, then it's grossly OVER-priced.

Does anyone know if Jot works with Zoom’s Whiteboard?

Great review. Especially highlighting the charge pass through capability

What’s the large monitor behind you? Looks nice!

If you had this in your laptop bag and the magnet from the stand, couldn't the magnet wipe out all your memory?

1000 Euro !!!
Wtf is wrong with you !!!!!!

$999? just buy an ipad pro and use it as an external display,

$1,000? Heeeeell nah.

what is the name of the stand you used on your MacBook

lol just buy another Mac

🐬

That magnetic stand should be on the ipad years ago!! Thats a cool feature!

🐬

Does touch screen work with IPad Pro M1?

🐬x 1000

For a 1080 299$ 👍🏻 however a 4K portable monitor for 999$ that ain’t a deal 👎🏻

Looks nice but 1k ? you can get an Oled one for way lower price

Will it work with the MacBook Air in clamshell mode? Does the MacBook Air need to be plugged in?

This looks SO promising! But how do we get external power to this? Can we just use our iPad charger for example?
And what about the scaling? Does it scale 2x retina resolution like the built in display? 🐬

Look nice but it is too small size with Streep price!

That chin and the price is...

😂😂😂 $999??? No WAY JOSE! I mean, Fernando!

Has anyone else noticed that the volume has been quite low on the last 2 or 3 videos?

i think the Monduo monitors look way better than this

🐬

It looks reasonably nice but it is bit pity they were not able to fully remove the chin to have symmetrical bezels on all 4 sides (and keep it a bit slimmer around 7mm).

Although the folding stand looks awesome, the most disappointing thing is that there isn’t an integrated USB4 plug at the back of it (and maybe neat pogo-pins on the top part in a circle) to be able to transfer data and power the display through the stand : it would be very handy, as one of the folding stand could stay at home « permanently » and have a 2nd one on the go. It would also ease the process when back home : get out the display from the bag, and magnetically attach it to the stand and « voila » (no more cable to plug)

So expensive…

🐬 waiting for mine to deliver in the next week or two.
Thanks for this, Fernando! You should ask Espresso to send the rest of the "Studio Bundle" pieces. The Charge won’t ship until January but maybe you can get a test unit to tell us what you experience. And I’m curious to see how "paper"like the Creator is (matte screen protector). As a 3D model software user, and live event production guy, I’m excited for what this can do for my world.

The Espresso 17 inch is the new one, and I have the OG 15 inch touch and it's a beast. The only beef I have about this is the cable port placement. It's perfect to use as a laptop companion, but it's also underrated for plugging in a Switch or an X-Box. But even better is the functionality with my iPad Pro. But sadly, this sits at home collecting dust because I work hybrid and there's no reason for me to use this anymore. And honestly, it's pretty overpriced. I paid about $500 for mine almost 2 years ago and I think it was a waste because you'll need the magnetic stand and the pencil to get full functionality for it, and at that point you're looking at $650.

Looks nice but 1k for a 17" monitor? No way.

What does “protable” mean? Even autocorrect wouldn’t let me type it…

We don't get this in South Africa, only a 15.6" Asus one.

Long story short M3 iMac is better value

Hi, here 👋🏻 🐬

£1000? No way
