Tech that: Espresso Display: the world’s thinnest portable monitor
The thinnest portable monitor for creatives and professionals, according to its manufacturer.
Available from espres.so
RRP: From £299
What is it? Espresso Display claims to be the world’s thinnest portable monitor for creatives and professionals.
Plus points
- The design of this is excellent. It’s so thin and made of brushed metal. It wouldn’t be out of place in any Apple promotional material.
- This has to be one of the easiest set-ups ever. One cable does it all. Just plug the screen into your existing laptop or desktop.
- You have the option to buy a touch-screen variant with a stylus. Perfect for users of graphic design software.
- An optional stand and stylus for the screen are mounted using magnets.
- The monitor comes with its own software called Espresso Flow, where you can manage your workspaces, snap apps to different parts of the screen and adjust colour settings.
Nil points
- Since this monitor is geared towards creatives, I think a less glossy screen would have been better.
- I found that the screen wasn’t as bright as the Mac it was plugged into.
- Using Espresso isn’t ideal with a desktop computer as they’re generally larger than the screen itself, which looks strange.
- The optional accessories are great, but I wish at the very least that a stand was included in the box.

Verdict: For people working on the go, in airport lounges, coffee shops or hybrid spaces, the Espresso display can be a game changer in terms of portability and ease of use.
