Working from home has its perks, but there are a few negatives we all have to navigate. Be it extraneous noise, constant interruptions, or family members making cameos on Zoom, our home office setups can be less than ideal. In fact, for many remote workers, one of the biggest productivity pitfalls is the lack of a multi-monitor desktop layout. To which we say, if your company isn’t springing for those expensive (not to mention bulky) computer screens, why should you?
Beat the system with the Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor, now available for $69 off with code SAVEDUEXPRO. This smart accessory attaches to any laptop, adding a second screen in seconds, wherever you may be working from. A crowdfunded product, the internet saw all its brilliant benefits and helped raise over an impressive $1 million in funding on Indiegogo.
While it’s seamless to use, this portable monitor is anything but basic. The 1080p screen delivers sharp, clear graphics. You can easily adjust the positioning, with 270-degree rotation and dual-sided sliding. There’s even a 180-degree presentation mode, which will come in handy for your next in-person meeting.
Let the multitasking fun begin. Move between screens with ease, whether you’re working on that big presentation or taking a little gaming break (it happens). Distractions aside, this monitor will help you reach your next deadline early; expect your productivity to increase by 50 percent when you're in dual-monitor mode.
The Mobile Pixels DUEX Pro Portable Dual Monitor normally costs $249 at full price, but you can get it for $180, or $69 off, with code SAVEDUEXPRO at checkout.
