Portable monitors solve the productivity problem of trying to work effectively on a laptop's single screen when you're away from your desk setup at home or the office. Adding a second display while traveling (or working from coffee shops) dramatically improves multitasking capabilities and lets you reference documents while writing, monitor data dashboards while coding, or keep communication apps visible alongside your main work.
If you're after a modest-sized screen that still delivers on both visuals and sound, here's some good news. The 2025 model of Samsung's 40-inch Full HD F6000 Smart TV is currently available on Amazon for just $148, thanks to a 25% discount. It normally retails for close $200, so this deal is taking a good chunk off the price, making the upgrade much more affordable.
