UPERFECT DELTA MEGA 23.8-INCH DUAL DISPLAY: GENEROUS SCREEN SPACE IN SPACE-SAVING PORTABLE DESIGN

Stacked dual displays are becoming more popular as people realize their ergonomic benefits compared to two side-by-side monitors, especially where space is at a premium-say, in a tight homeworking space or WeWork.

Finding a portable stacked monitor (fave.co/3JsszG5) that is large enough when in use but discreet when folded up has been a dream of mine since I left an office space and moved to a more domestic setting.

I've used a stacked screen for a few years (after many years with two 27-inch displays side by side), starting with the Solidly built and somewhat colossal Mobile Pixels Geminos (fave.co/42eTDya), moving on to the smaller but more portable UPerfect Delta Max Touch (fave.co/47B8lmS), and now have been using the Max's bigger sibling—the superlatively named Delta Mega, which is nearly as large as the Geminos but as foldable and nearly as portable as the Delta Max.

Adding one or more external displays can transform a solitary MacBook setup into a more workable desktop arrangement that frees the laptop user from the constraints of the smaller screen—even the fairly spacious 16-inch display on the top-end MacBook Pro.

Portable external displays give the extra benefit of being transportable and easily stored away hidden when not in use. During the lockdown, I once walked my 32-inch Samsung standard monitor two miles back to the office. It was light but cumbersome with its stand attached.

Like the Delta Max, the UPerfect Delta Mega stands out from the usual portable external display crowd as a vertically stacked set of two screens. Folded up, it is just about portable and comes with a cloth bag for convenient storage and carriage.

The Delta Mega is a set of two 23.8-inch screens that are joined at a flexible hinged center. They can each be adjusted to the best-suited angle depending on your situation.
