I have been doing a lot of traveling lately. On thing that I always miss when I am traveling is my 2 large monitors from my home desktop system. Going from them to a laptop screen is not that fun. You can purchase laptops with pull-out screens, but they are few are far between and are quite expensive. So what are you to do if you want a dual-screen setup on your laptop? Get a portable display of course! Today we are talking a look at the On-Lap 1301 Portable Monitor. It is a small, portable 13.3-inch screen that is powered by USB and can be used with any device that has an HDMI or VGA connection. Read on as we check it out!
Special thanks to GeChic for providing the On-Lap 1301 Portable Monitor to review.

GeChic 1301 is one of their older monitors, as this post is 2 years old. They have upgraded the monitor to 1302, and even a better 1080p display, GeChic 1303H. I’ve used GeChic 1303H, I didn’t get mine from Amazon though, I purchased directly from their website. I’ve only used it for a week with my Macbook Pro so I can’t comment too much as of yet. It comes with an HDMI cable so you can hook it up to your mac mini as well. I’ve listed some of the highlights of the monitor below:
– Great picture quality/resolution; I’ve only tried web browsing and PS4 games so far but the monitor displays an an awesome 1080p picture with a clean refresh rate.
– Great colour range as well. You can make the picture very vibrant if needed.
For those that need a 1080p 13.3″ portable HDMI display, you can find GeChic 1303H on Amazon: http://amzn.to/1PFJR9U

I searched all over and can’t find anything except for USb moniters. Maybe you can email me some suggestions to my email [email protected] nice reviews by the way.
