Our take on the Mobile Pixels Duex Max DS 14.1 Monitor
The Duex Max DS is a 14.1-inch 1080p IPS slide-out screen that attaches magnetically to the back of a laptop and extends a second display to the side. It connects over a single USB-C cable, draws power from the laptop, and has a headphone jack and VESA mounting points that most portable monitors lack. It suits traveling professionals, traders and students who want a real second screen without a separate stand or power brick. Against rivals like the Mobile Pixels Trio and generic 15.6-inch USB-C portables, it is smaller and lighter but easier to carry and mount, and reviewers say the slide mechanism and magnet attachment are the main things to weigh.
- Slides out from the laptop lid, so no separate stand or kickstand
- Single USB-C cable for video and power
- 14.1-inch 1080p IPS panel with 16:9 aspect ratio
- Aluminum case feels sturdy for travel
- Headphone jack and VESA mounting points, rare on portable monitors
What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers describe the Duex Max DS as a convenient way to add a second screen on the go, with the slide-out design and single-cable setup getting the most praise. Complaints center on the 1080p panel, the extra weight on the laptop lid and compatibility issues with some USB-C ports.
- SetupPraisedOwners say the magnetic attachment and single USB-C cable make it fast to set up and pack away.
- ResolutionCriticisedReviewers find the 1080p panel a bit soft for spreadsheets and small text.
- PortabilityMixedIt travels easily but adds weight and bulk to the laptop lid.
Questions and answers
- Does the Duex Max DS work with a MacBook?
- Yes, it works with USB-C MacBooks that support DisplayPort Alt Mode. Older MacBooks with only Thunderbolt 2 or USB-A need an adapter.
- Does it need a separate power supply?
- No. It draws power from the laptop over the same USB-C cable that carries video, so there is no power brick to carry.
- Can it be mounted on a monitor arm?
- Yes. It has VESA mounting points, which is unusual for a slide-out portable screen and lets you use it off the laptop.
- How does it compare with the Mobile Pixels Trio?
- The Duex Max DS is a single 14.1-inch slide-out screen with a headphone jack and VESA mounts. The Trio adds a second slide-out screen but is heavier and bulkier.
- Is the screen touch-enabled?
- No. It is a standard non-touch IPS panel, so you navigate with the laptop's trackpad or a mouse.
- What is in the box?
- The monitor, a USB-C cable and magnetic mounting plates for the laptop lid. Adapters for non-USB-C laptops are sold separately.
