orget bendable screens: sometimes simplicity is best, and that’s exactly what Acer opts for with this dual portable monitor. It’s slapped a pair of 15.6in IPS panels into a plain but effective plastic casing, added a sturdy stand, and in doing so provided a surprisingly versatile way to expand your laptop’s display.
You can position the PD3 Series (model number PD193Q) in several ways. I tried it in portrait mode with a bend in the middle, as shown to the right, portrait without the bend, in landscape mode (where it’s like a 22in panel but with a big bezel in the middle), and in tent mode so that someone else could view the content of the other display while I was working on the “main” screen.
