Office and portable monitors (ME, PM series): a productive second screen, anywhere

Comparing the office and portable display range: the USB-C portable PM-156 and the frameless IPS ME-238 and ME-270A. How to choose between mobility and a fixed workstation.

The research on dual-screen productivity has been settled for years: more visible context means less window-juggling and fewer mistakes. The only real question is which second screen fits how you actually work — fixed at a desk, or wherever the laptop lands today.

The portable option: PM-156

The PM-156 is a 15.6" FHD IPS panel at roughly 750 grams that connects over a single USB-C cable carrying both video (DisplayPort Alt Mode) and power. Slide it into the laptop bag, and field engineering, commissioning, client presentations, and hotel-room workdays all get a second screen. A Mini HDMI input covers hosts without USB-C video.

One-cable USB-C — no power brick in the bag.
IPS panel with wide viewing angles for sharing a screen across a table.
Built-in stereo speakers for presentations and calls.

The desk options: ME-238 and ME-270A

For fixed workstations, the frameless ME series IPS monitors — ME-238 (23.8") and ME-270A (27") — deliver FHD at 75Hz with HDMI and VGA inputs and VESA 100×100 mounting, so arms and stands stay interchangeable across the office. Thin bezels make multi-monitor rows look intentional rather than improvised.
