With remote work becoming more and more mainstream as the world adjusts to living with COVID-19, the need for extra peripheral devices has grown exponentially. Items like webcams, headsets, and other standard peripherals we used to take for granted are either hard to obtain due to product shortages, or are going for double their standard price, or higher. Not everyone is going to have a dedicated workspace that can be their permanent home for work, and that is where the Zissu’s 15.6″ portable monitor can help. This thin and light screen takes up little space, and can easily be re-positioned to accommodate an evolving workspace. We have spent some time with this external monitor, using it as a secondary display for our work-at-home setup, so follow along to see how it has fared for us.
