Take a monitor on the go with one of these options for your Mac
There are various types of monitors you can buy for your Mac. Portable monitors are an excellent option if you need a MacBook monitor, whether you’re looking for a second screen solution or interested in buying a primary monitor that’s easy to move. Whether for work or play, the best portable monitors for Mac we’ve recommended below are available in different styles and price points. There’s something for everyone.

Staff Pick
Offering an LED backlight, the 15.6-inch portable monitor from GeChic includes built-in speakers and a touchscreen. The best part is it only weighs two pounds!
Hefty portable solution
HP V223ve FHD Monitor, 1080p VA Display
Another budget choice, this 21.5-inch monitor boasts full HD (1920×1080 pixels). The only drawback is its weight —5.86 pounds — which impedes portability.

Portable on a budget
Lasitu Ultrathin&Ultralight Portable Monitor
The Lasitu monitor is a great pick if you need a portable monitor on a budget. It connects to your best Mac via USB-C and is a full HD 15.6-inch screen.
A growing number of monitor choices
The portable monitor market remains relatively small, so it can be hard to find what type of monitors you can use with your best Mac like the new MacBook pro with M2. Despite this, there are a few high-quality products available that work brilliantly with Macs. When deciding on a monitor, you should factor in the price, resolution, and what you will need to connect it to your computer. Perhaps most importantly, look at its weight. The above selections are the best portable monitors for Mac available.
Our absolute favorite best monitor is the GeChic 1503H, which is lightweight, easy to take on the go, and includes its own built-in speakers. Those with a small budget should take a look at the Lasitu, while those looking for an extendable monitor should consider the Mobile Pixels Duex Pro.
