Portable Monitor

[mjulian]

I need a portable monitor to be able to access documents on my work desk top which I now have at home. Can anyone recommend a cheap basic monitor for me to do this? I will not have to work from it for hours - all I want to do is access documents. I have looked online but do not recognise any of the makes of the portable monitors - all I can see is that the majority of them are geared up to be used for gaming. Can anyone recommend a portable monitor please? Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

Any preferred size? Does it need any particular specification or input method? HDMI connection for instance.

No specific size in mind - small as possible - ? 15-17 inches, No need for HDMI connection. All I need is something basic/easy to set up to be able to access the desk top. I won't need to sit and type for ages at it - it's literally just to be able to access documents.

This is just about the cheapest out there but it only has VGA connectivity. ( a VGA lead is nearly as much)You need to check what outputs for images you have available.

Have you looked for a second hand one?

My two favorite portable monitors are the HP ZR2240w and the Samsung S22C300H . These monitors use LED backlighting which makes them as bright as an LCD monitor (usually), but a whole lot more power-efficient. I can run my HP for about 30 hours on a single 9-volt battery. They also have very good color reproduction, and both of them have a built-in 3-port USB hub with a combined total of 4 USB 2.0 ports.
