If you have ever tried to work on spreadsheets, code or video calls from a single laptop screen, you know the pain of constant window shuffling. The Laser 14 inch USB-C Portable Display solves it with a slim, lightweight second screen that runs off a single USB-C cable. Here's our full review.
What Is the Laser 14 Inch USB-C Portable Display?
It's a 14-inch portable monitor from Australian brand Laser that connects to your laptop, tablet or compatible smartphone over USB-C - one cable for both power and video. At $157.46, it sits in the sweet spot for computers and tablets accessories that genuinely upgrade your setup without costing as much as a full desktop monitor.
Key Features at a Glance
- 14-inch display - large enough for real work, small enough to fit in a laptop sleeve.

Setup: Genuinely 30 Seconds
Connect the included USB-C cable from the display to your laptop and it powers on as an extended display - that's it. There is no external power brick to carry and no software to install. If your laptop's USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode (most modern laptops do), you are ready to go.
