How benchmarksutra rates portable monitors: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Portable Monitor Score rates 9 portable monitors sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 16 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 16 November 2026). We did not test these portable monitors ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Portable Monitor Score works.
What we rate
Sharpness (pixels per inch). Pixels per inch, worked out from the size and resolution the maker states: 100 ppi rates 0, 160 ppi or more 100. A 15.6-inch Full HD screen is about 141 ppi (rates 69); a 1366 x 768 screen of the same size about 100 ppi (rates 0).
Brightness. Typical brightness the maker states: 150 nits rates 0, 250 nits 40, 300 nits 60, 400 nits or more 100.
Refresh rate. Top refresh rate the maker states: 60 Hz rates 0, 75 Hz 18, 144 Hz or more 100. It matters for games, much less for office work.
Panel type. Panel type the maker states: OLED rates 100, IPS 80, VA 40, TN 0 (TN panels look washed out from the side).
Video inputs. Video inputs the maker lists: a USB video input (one cable from a laptop or phone) 50, a second USB-C video port 20, an HDMI input (full, mini or micro) 30.
Extras (pass-through, touch, speakers). Extras the maker states: charging pass-through to your laptop 50, a touch screen 30, built-in speakers 20.
Weight. Weight the maker states, without a stand where it says so: 0.6 kg rates 100, 0.9 kg 50, 1.2 kg 0.
Price. Lowest in-stock price at our partner stores, against the cheapest portable monitor in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own page: ASUS tech-spec pages, MSI data sheets and ViewSonic India product pages. We rate sharpness (worked out from size and resolution), brightness, refresh rate, panel type, video inputs, extras and weight. Prices and buy links come from our partner stores (MD Computers, Computech and Vedant Computers), in-stock listings only, cheapest first. Where a maker does not state a rated item, that row scores zero; we never guess.
Colour coverage is shown, not scored
MSI and ViewSonic state an sRGB figure (about 50% to 64%), but ASUS does not on these models' pages, so we show it where stated and leave it out of the score rather than mark ASUS down for a figure it never published.
What we do not rate
Real brightness, colour accuracy, glare and how steady the stand or case is need tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results. Warranty is not scored because these makers do not state it on the product pages we read.
Price vs score
What the score does not measure
Real brightness and colour accuracy.
Glare, viewing angles and backlight bleed.
How steady the stand or folio case is.
What we left out, and why
Reason | Products |
|---|---|
Zebronics' website refused our request (rate limit), so we could not read its spec page; we did not try to get around it. | 2 |
