The Lightest Portable Monitors of 2026

Last updated July 2026

The availability of lightweight portable monitors is growing fast. To help you find the right portable monitor for your setup, we've put together a list of the lightest portable monitors in each screen size category.

A lightweight portable monitor is especially useful if you travel and work on the go. When you're packing a laptop, charger, cables, stand and other gear, every gram starts to matter. Most people using a portable monitor while travelling will be carrying it in hand luggage or a backpack, so choosing a lighter screen can make your setup easier to carry and leave more room for everything else. This is also where a lightweight portable monitor stand like Flexsta can help, since it gives your portable monitor a better working height without adding much extra weight to your bag.

Weights are based on manufacturer-listed specs where available. Some brands list monitor-only weight, while others include covers or accessories, so it's worth checking the product page before buying.

17 to 18 inch lightweight portable monitors

This category is harder than the smaller sizes. Most 17 inch portable monitors are not especially light, and many are over 900g. Flexsta is designed for compatible portable monitors under 900g, so only some larger portable monitors will be suitable. You can check the full Flexsta compatibility guide before buying.

As a general rule, smaller portable monitors are usually easier to travel with, but size is not the only thing that affects weight. Screen type, casing, touchscreen layers and built-in stands can all make a portable monitor heavier.
