Having a second screen next to your laptop dramatically boosts your productivity. However, most portable monitors until now have been "heavy" and "thick," which usually meant they ended up gathering dust at home. InnoView's model solves this dilemma through sheer physical thinness.
The thinnest part is just a few millimeters. Despite its large 15.6-inch screen, it weighs around 700g — light enough that slipping it into your bag feels like carrying a slightly thick magazine. Even tossed into a sleeve case alongside a MacBook or slim laptop, your bag won't bulge at the seams. That sense of "I might as well bring it along" is, in fact, the most important spec a portable monitor can have.

Sprawling AC adapters and bulky HDMI cables across a tiny café table is anything but smart. The true brilliance of the InnoView monitor lies in its ability to handle both video output and power delivery through a single USB Type-C cable.
If your laptop supports it, simply plugging in the cable sets up a dual-monitor environment in just three seconds. Run a Zoom meeting on your left screen while displaying documents full-screen on the right InnoView. Write code on one screen while checking the preview on another. Once you've experienced the comfort of this "instant office anywhere," there's no going back to a single-screen laptop.
| The Vibrance of an IPS Panel. Beautiful Full HD Even from an Angle

With a price tag in the affordable 10,000–20,000 yen range, you might assume the image quality is mediocre — but don't be fooled. It uses a wide-viewing-angle IPS panel, so colors barely shift no matter what angle you view it from. The Full HD resolution (1920×1080) renders even tiny Excel characters and website text with crisp clarity.
It also supports HDR mode. Once work is done, you can hook up a Nintendo Switch or PS5 and enjoy games in vibrant color (*note: external power may be required when connecting game consoles). Whether as a sub-display for work or an entertainment monitor at a hotel during a business trip, its image quality is more than sufficient.
| The Polish of a Smart Cover That Doubles as a Stand

When carrying a portable monitor, two things are essential: a cover to protect the screen and a stand to keep it upright. This product comes with a "smart cover" that magnetically attaches to the body as standard.
Inside your bag, it acts as a sturdy protector shielding the LCD from scratches; unfolded, it transforms into an angle-adjustable stand. Multiple anti-slip grooves let you fine-tune the viewing angle to avoid glare from lighting — an incredibly practical touch. Since you don't need to lug around a separate, bulky tablet stand, you can lighten your load even further.

During sales, you can sometimes pick it up for around 15,000 yen, making the cost-performance almost absurdly high.
"I want to work just as hard outside as I do at home." "I'm tired of constantly switching windows on a cramped screen." To every business professional and student who feels this way, I strongly recommend the InnoView 15.6-inch Ultra-Slim Portable Monitor. This isn't just a display — it's the smartest investment you can make in a "productivity-boosting tool" that saves your time and sharpens your focus.
