1080p travel monitor

Is there any full HD monitor good for travel? Needs a cover, some sort of tricky stand and , I guess, USB power and also I guess DisplayLink. 1366 x 768 monitors are meh.

 

Does size matter?

cheers ...

 

No? I would somewhat presume in this resolution-starved age such a thing would be 20 inch plus. No worries, I already carry enough that I always have a checked in 25" luggage and it could go in that, like if you'd carry a big album book which I just did

 

Best bet would be a 1080p LCD-TV, and use an USB adapter/converter for the signals from your laptop.

cheers ...

 

Shuttle makes a 19" 1680x1050 monitor. It's meant for portability. But not the other things you mentioned. Only VGA input and requires external power.

If you're talking USB powered, the highest resolution screen is 1024x600 10" that I've seen. Although with USB 3.0 hopefully they can improve on that, but I still don't think you'll get a 15" 1080p monitor that can run on USB power alone. Max for USB 3.0 is 4.5W. There is a larger USB 3.0 connector that will offer an additional 1000mA (5V), but I doubt laptops will ever use those connectors.

edit: I stand corrected. Here's this one: http://www.itproportal.com/2011/06/03/asus-shows-24-inch-led-usb-powered-monitor/
24" is a bit big for a travel monitor though and probably requires two USB plugs considering the 9W power consumption of the monitor (using USB 3.0)

 

I am not married to DisplayLink or USB power although an external power brick is just ugh. I have a proper laptop with digital and analog outputs (ie not a Mac).

1366 x 768 is available from Toshiba at a 14" size, from Samsung at a 18.5" size. I have definitely read that Asus news and that's what made me wonder -- is that the first?

As for the Shuttle, hat's at least 1680 x 1050 but good luck finding one actually being sold. I have seen one on amazon.de SHUTTLE 48.26cm TFT XP19 WSXGA: Amazon.de: Elektronik but at 204EUR I am not so sure

Samsung says "Product Weight 4.5kg".

Any sign of a power brick?
