“I was recently scrolling Instagram and found an Amazon influencer who shared the most magical thing I’ve ever seen — a sleek little laptop screen that clamps onto your laptop and extends into a second screen that hangs freely (meaning you don’t need to set a monitor on your desk — a feature I appreciate, since I mostly work from my lap).
I own two of these laptop monitor
extenders from Amazon.
“I was skeptical that it’d be compatible with my laptop, but it was only $120 so I figured I’d give it a shot (free Amazon returns!). When it arrived the next day, I plugged it into the USB-C port of my laptop and, to my total shock, it instantly started working. I didn’t even have to adjust any of my display settings. I had a clear, fully-functioning monitor attached to my laptop in an instant. Now I can sign into video calls fully present and I’m able to see my colleagues, rather than covering their faces with documents. I love it so much that I actually bought two — one for my apartment in the city, and one for my mom’s house, where I sometimes work remotely.
“I got the ‘ S1 ’ version, which is one simple screen extender (giving you two screens, when you include your actual laptop). But it’s also available in more elaborate (and more expensive) versions — the S2 and S3 models have two screens that surround your laptop’s third screen, and the insane S6 model allows you to orient its two screens horizontally or vertically.” — Kristen Aiken , editorial director
Today, working from home on or traveling with your company or personal laptop is more common than ever. However, this presents a major limitation: Screen overcrowding with video chats, to-do lists, email inboxes, internet browsers and the list goes on. Aiken’s purchase presents the ultimate quick fix to chaotic laptop displays.
This lightweight, 14-inch screen instantly expands your laptop display with a quick insert into your Type-C or HDMI port and a secure latch. A few highlights: It features a 1080p FHD IPS screen, comes with its own carrying bag making it great for travel, has brightness adjustments, and is compatible with most laptop models.
With 4.4-out-of-5-star rating across 700+ ratings on Amazon and Aiken’s stamp of approval, BOSII’s laptop screen extender monitor is a worthwhile buy.
Amazon reviewer Richard Kissik agrees. He enjoys its high-quality picture for gaming and travel-friendly design. He wrote , “I like that the video is fast for gaming and movies and can run both activities simultaneously without lag. Lastly, it is an excellent design for travel. I like that I can easily fold this one up, thin, and put it right next to my laptop in my laptop case. I also like that the foot that holds up the monitor provides a sturdy base. No cons, it worked out great for me, and I am very happy with the purchase.”
Another Amazon reviewer, Chimster, says the only con is that the attachment can be a tad awkward when putting it on, but is secure once attached. They wrote , “This extension monitor was exactly what i was looking for. It’s lightweight, flexible and not bulky like other models... [The] screen case closes up onto itself so that it protects the screen. Additionally, it comes with an extra carrying case with a side pocket for your cables.”
For Amazon reviewer Laura, the built-in speaker and screen quality are great for her video consults. She says , “I use it for my Telehealth consults and it has worked out very well. It has good screen quality and also has a built in speaker. It is very easy to attach to my laptop, and I also have the option of standing it on a surface. The screen comes with several cables included and simple instructions on how to set it up with your device. For the price, I’d say it was a pretty neat purchase.”

“The laptop screen extender has been a phenomenal boost to my productivity at work. By expanding my visual workspace, I can effortlessly manage multiple tasks simultaneously—like comparing documents, managing emails, and running applications without the need to toggle between tabs. This efficiency not only speeds up my workflow but also enhances focus and reduces digital clutter. It’s an essential tool for anyone looking to optimize their workday efficiency.” — Brittany
“I was admittedly skeptical at first as this laptop screen extender is half the price of some of the larger name ones, but I’ve been quite impressed with the performance. It easily connects to my Lenovo and I use it for work while traveling. The screens have a great picture quality and are basically the same as if I’m working from my home set up. Highly recommended for someone that needs a mobile work setup when out of town.” — Alex D
“This is a great product! I use it for multiple programming college classes to have an extra screen with my laptop to be able to work anywhere. Easy to carry in my backpack but you will need to use the kickstand on the back of the monitor to hold it up If not your screens will fall backwards With extra screen attached.” — Amazon Customer
“Someone suggested I buy another monitor to use when I’m on the road. I held off till I saw them use this one. Let’s just say I should have bought one a long time ago. This will help me stay efficient while I’m on the road. It’s easy to use and mounts right on the laptop.” — T. Flounder
