not really portable, at 4.5 Kilo....
I wonder why we cannot get a good laptop monitor, say 1920 x 1200 17", on a stand that is portable and that doesn't weight a ton. Definitely more ergonomic than a laptop...

Any sightings?

I don't know of any, but Ive always been curious about this.

Ive also often wondered about being able to stick 2 extra monitors into my laptop bag so when i take out my laptop I can still have 3 screens :D

Edvard:
Flexible Organic LED displays would go a long way towards making monitors truly portable.
Imagine a monitor that weighs less than a pound and can be rolled up like a wall poster.  :tellme:
Sony's already on it:

nudone:
they aren't really flexible enough at the moment but you can see the potential. i'm sure when they get going we'll see screens that can be folded a lot tighter than a wall poster - i hope so anyway. if they don't make them flexible enough to fit in a wallet or pocket i won't be impressed.

But would you really want to fold it in half? I wouldn't want the creases in my screen.
