For avid multi-monitor users like myself, having a second screen while on the go is essential for boosting productivity. However, carrying around additional tech can quickly become burdensome, especially when traveling. That’s why the new Vaio Vision+ 14 is an exciting addition to my setup. This 14-inch USB-C travel monitor weighs just 325 grams (0.72 pounds), making it incredibly lightweight and portable.
Despite its slim profile—12.4mm at its thickest and a mere 3.9mm at its thinnest—the Vaio Vision+ 14 doesn’t compromise on functionality. It features a convenient fold-out kickstand and USB-C power passthrough, allowing for flexible positioning and uninterrupted charging.
Included with the monitor is a protective cover that not only shields the screen but also doubles as a stand to elevate it above your laptop display, offering a dual-screen setup. However, it’s worth noting that the cover adds weight, bringing the total to 1.7 pounds.
In terms of display quality, the 14-inch LCD screen offers a resolution of 1920×1200. While it lacks touch sensitivity, it provides adequate clarity for most productivity tasks. Priced at 54,800 yen in Japan (approximately $340 USD), the Vaio Vision+ 14 combines lightweight portability with essential features, making it a compelling choice for mobile professionals.
Vaio, which has operated independently from Sony for a decade, primarily markets its products in Japan. For those outside Japan, acquiring the Vision+ 14 may involve importing it or exploring alternative portable monitor options available in local markets.
