The espresso Display 15, an ultra-thin 15-inch monitor, launched Tuesday. It boasts an aerospace aluminum casing, not the usual plastic, but a lower price than previous high-end portable displays from this company. It gets power and data from a MacBook or iPad via a single USB-C connection.
It’s paired with Stand+, an ergonomic stand with a surprising trick.
Gorgeous espresso Display 15 for productivity on the go
“Every espresso Displays product is designed to be a category leader and deliver the best portable monitor experience for professionals that work on the go or travel frequently ,” said espresso Displays CEO and cofounder, Will Scuderi.
The Australian company already offers espresso Pro with a 17-inch touchscreen, which Cult of Mac reviewed. And there’s espresso Touch, a 15-inch touchscreen. Its new model is its most affordable display yet.
espresso Display 15 includes a 1080p Full HD (FHD) LCD. This is color calibrated at the factory.
The device is a mere 0.2 inches thin and weighs in at 2 pounds.
Two USB-C ports allow the portable display to connect to a computer and an optional power source. Operating with Mac, iPad, or Windows is as easy as plugging in the screen.
As a launch bonus, a case and screen protector are included.
Don’t overlook Stand+

“We believe ergonomics and productivity shouldn’t have to be jeopardized by travel, which is why we created Stand+, a breakthrough for achieving more natural viewing angles that we know our customers are seeking in their portable workstations.” Scuderi added.
The foldable stand can hold up the espresso Display 15 beside a MacBook, but also stretch to place the portable screen above the MacBook.
Stand+ is compatible with earlier 15-inch monitors from the company.
