Key Features
13.3 inch 1080p IPS
A full HD second screen that slides out from behind your laptop lid. Colors look clean and the viewing angles hold up.
One cable setup
USB C carries video and power. There is a Mini HDMI port too if your machine is picky.
Auto rotate
A built in sensor flips the screen when you swing it into portrait mode. Handy for reading long docs.
Travel friendly
It magnets onto the back of your laptop and adds about a pound. We barely noticed it in a bag.
Pros & Cons
What We Liked

- Plug and play, no software
- Auto rotate is actually useful
- Light enough to leave attached
Worth Knowing
- Hinge loosens up over time
- Drains laptop battery at high brightness
- Pricier than some standalone portable monitors

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with a Mac?
Yes, over USB C. Mac users may need to install the display utility for window arrangement, but the screen itself runs plug and play.
Will it run off one USB C cable?
Most of the time, yes. On lower power laptops you might need the second USB connection for full brightness.
Does it fit smaller laptops?
It is sized for 13 to 14 inch lids. On a 13 inch machine the panel slightly overhangs but still mounts fine.
The 29-Second Rundown
Final Verdict
For anyone who works on the move and misses a second monitor, the Duex Plus DS earns its spot in the bag. The hinge could be tighter and it sips your battery, but the convenience of a slide out screen that travels with your laptop is hard to beat.
