When it comes to the best portable monitors, they all share a very similar form-factor. You typically get a 12- to 17-inch display with an integrated stand to keep it propped up on a desk/flat surface. Every portable monitor that we’ve reviewed up until this point has adhered to that formula.
However, the SideTrak Swivel eschews norms for this category by opting for a semi-permanent attachment to the back of your laptop’s display lid. This attachment point has advantages and disadvantages, which I’ll discuss in depth later in this review.
