How FlipAction works.
Click-and-slide stand
Slide the stand onto the monitor and it clicks in place magnetically. It releases just as easily. On the move, it stores flat on the back.
Rotate to any orientation
Rotate the screen freely from landscape to portrait. Long documents, code or vertical content: one motion and your portable monitor stands upright.
Adjustable to the right angle
Tilt the screen up to 70 degrees and set the stand up to 90. The perfect viewing angle, at your desk, on the train or on the sofa.
Lift your screen above your laptop
The FlipAction hinge puts your second screen at eye level. An ergonomic dual-screen setup in the footprint of one laptop.
The FlipAction hinge: magnetic, rotatable, adjustable.

Portable design, Retina-worthy performance.
So. Much. Screen.
A 16-inch portable monitor with 2.5K resolution, 120Hz and 1.07 billion colours. Every letter crisp. Every movement fluid. Where a typical portable display stops at 1080p and 60Hz, the Pro feels effortless. And with 400 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3, your work looks the same everywhere as it does on your MacBook.
One cable does it all.
One USB-C cable from your laptop to the monitor. Image and power, at once. No adapter, no separate power supply, no drivers. Plug in and work. For every other device there is Mini-HDMI as a backup and DP-out to daisy-chain. Any laptop becomes a dual-screen workspace in seconds.
Razor-thin. All around.
The world's first even-bezel monitor. Four borders, machined to exactly the same width. All you see is screen. The housing is milled from a single 6 mm piece of aluminium and weighs 930 grams. A portable screen that disappears into your laptop bag like a slim notebook, and feels like an instrument.
Comfort. At every angle.
Adjustable hinges and a pivot from 0 to 180 degrees. Seated at your desk, standing at a high table, on the train: you always find the perfect viewing angle. Tilt the screen up to 70 degrees, set the stand up to 90. Exactly how your neck and eyes prefer it.
Click. Done.
Magnetic mount. Click the FlipAction stand into place, rotate 180 degrees, and your extra screen sits above your laptop instead of beside it. You look straight ahead, at eye level. Your workspace stays as compact as your laptop itself. Ideal on a small desk, a kitchen table or a train tray.
Work. Play. Create.
Write with your research alongside. Present from a second screen. Edit with your timeline at eye level. And after work, a film or a game in fluid 120Hz. This portable monitor for laptop, tablet and phone adapts to your day. Your entire setup weighs less than a kilo.
The 16-inch portable monitor that travels with you
The SOTSU FlipAction Pro 16 Gen 2 is a portable monitor for anyone who wants two screens everywhere. 16 inches, 2.5K resolution and 120Hz in a 930-gram aluminium body. Small enough for your laptop bag, good enough to replace your desk monitor. Connect it with a single USB-C cable and you have an extra screen within five seconds. No drivers, no power brick, no fuss. Discover the full line-up on the SOTSU collection page.
Connecting: how the portable monitor works with MacBook, Windows, Switch and phone
MacBook & iPad
Any MacBook with USB-C (2016 and newer) sends image and power through one cable. Plug and play: macOS instantly recognises the monitor as a second display. iPads with USB-C work straight away too, no adapter needed.
Windows laptop
If your laptop has USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode (virtually every business laptop since 2018), one cable is enough. Older laptop without video over USB-C? Use the included Mini-HDMI cable plus a USB port for power.
Nintendo Switch, PS5 & Xbox
Mini-HDMI connects any console. The Nintendo Switch even works directly over USB-C, no dock required. A proper screen for an evening of film or play in a hotel room, on the Pro even in fluid 120Hz.
Phone & tablet
Samsung phones with DeX and many Android devices with USB-C video-out turn the monitor into a desktop. Useful as a presentation screen at a client's, or as a second screen for travel content. Your phone is the computer, the SOTSU is the display.
Ergonomics: your extra screen above your laptop, at eye level
A typical portable display sits next to your laptop, at table height. So you spend all day looking down. The FlipAction hinge works differently. The second screen clicks magnetically behind your laptop display and rotates 180 degrees upwards, above your laptop. Your top screen sits at eye level, exactly where ergonomists want your main display.
You notice the difference at the end of the working day. Straight neck, relaxed shoulders, and a workspace no wider than your laptop. Ideal for hot desks, train trays and anywhere a second screen next to your laptop simply does not fit.
Specifications explained
2.5K at 120Hz: why it matters
2560×1600 pixels on 16 inches means grain-free text and spreadsheets without scrolling. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling and window-dragging noticeably smoother than the 60Hz of a standard portable monitor. Easier on the eyes, even on long working days.
930 grams, 6 mm: a portable screen without compromise
The CNC-machined aluminium frame is thinner than most smartphones and weighs less than a litre of water. In the included sleeve you take the portable screen anywhere. The difference in your bag is smaller than an extra notebook.
What's in the box?
The SOTSU FlipAction Pro 16 Gen 2, a USB-C to USB-C cable for image and power, a Mini-HDMI cable, the magnetic FlipAction stand and a protective sleeve. Everything you need to start right away. No separate power supply required.
Who is this monitor for?
For the hybrid worker who wants the same at hot desks as at home: two screens. For the consultant presenting off a second screen at clients. For anyone writing, editing or analysing on the road. And for everyone who has ever missed an external display on a train, a plane or in a hotel.
1,500+ creators. One favourite screen.
From clean desk setups to travel content: this is how creators worldwide film, build and work with SOTSU.

Questions about the SOTSU FlipAction.
Someone called it 'instantly essential'. Isn't that an overstatement?
Our reviewer Sean said it literally: as soon as he unboxed it, it was an instant essential. We hear it often: the combination of the display, the FlipAction hinge and plug-and-play makes it surprisingly quickly indispensable in your daily setup.
Does the SOTSU work with my MacBook, iPad or phone?
Yes. Over USB-C the monitor works plug-and-play with MacBook, Windows, Linux, iPad Pro/Air, Samsung DeX and many Android phones: one cable for video and power.
Is 4K really visible on 16 inches?
Absolutely. On the Elite, 3840×2400 on 16″ gives a pixel density of 283 ppi: sharper than Retina, with 100% DCI-P3 and an anti-glare coating. The Pro deliberately chooses fluid 120 Hz with 2.5K.
What is the difference between Elite and Pro?
The Elite 16″ offers 4K (3840×2400) for maximum sharpness. The Pro 16″ Gen 2 has 2.5K at 120 Hz: smoother, in everything you do. See the comparison table above.
Do I need a separate power supply?
Not if your laptop or phone delivers enough power over USB-C. Otherwise you simply connect a charger via the power-passthrough port.
What if something breaks?
A 2-year warranty on everything. Service via our team in the Netherlands, response within 48 hours.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days you can return it for free, no questions asked.
Is a portable monitor worth it?
Yes, especially if you regularly work away from your fixed desk. Research consistently shows that a second screen boosts productivity: less window switching, more overview. A portable monitor gives you that advantage at flex desks and while traveling too. The SOTSU weighs less than a kilo and works with a single cable.
Can I use this monitor with a console like PS5, Xbox or Nintendo Switch?
Yes. Via the mini HDMI cable you can connect any console, and the Nintendo Switch even works directly over USB-C, without a dock. The FlipAction Pro 16 Gen 2 shows fast motion smoothly at 120 Hz; the Elite 16 gives you 4K for films and cinematic titles.
Does the monitor have a battery and is it rechargeable?
No, and that's a deliberate choice: a battery makes a portable monitor heavier and thicker. The SOTSU is powered over USB-C, usually straight from your laptop. If your device delivers little power, such as a phone or Switch, you simply connect a charger via the second USB-C port with power passthrough.
What do you use an extra screen for your laptop for?
For everything one screen is too small for: your calendar next to your email, source document next to your text, dashboard next to your spreadsheet. Thanks to the FlipAction hinge the extra screen sits above your laptop at eye level. You gain workspace without needing a bigger desk.
Is the screen a touchscreen?
No, the FlipAction series deliberately has no touchscreen. That saves weight, power consumption and glare. You control everything with your mouse and keyboard; brightness and color are adjusted with the physical buttons on the side.
