Great 2.5K panel and best value but the stand just needs a lock
I work in tech and use this daily for Confluence docs, Postman API calls, spreadsheets and some minor photo editing. The 2.5K panel is sharp, clear, and easily the sweet spot of the lineup.
Definitely check the comparison table at the bottom of the page before deciding.
In my opinion,
1200p: Skip it. Coming from an older 14-inch ASUS HD screen, the resolution is just not good enough and the Tern Setups one only has 300 nits brightness.
4K OLED: 400 nits is okay for brightness and the price is too high.
4K Non-OLED: Solid second choice at 450 nits and the best resolution.
2.5K: The best pick. At 500 nits, it’s the brightest of the bunch and with a sharp resolution, giving you the best of both worlds for spec-to-price. It also has the highest refresh rate if you'll be using it for gaming.
Why 4 stars:
Agreeing with other reviewers: the magnetic stand lets it down. The screen easily slides or shifts with slight pressure or even minor tension from the USB-C cable. It really needs a physical lip or locking mechanism to the monitor to keep it in place once set.
Otherwise, the 2.5K is easily the best model to buy. I would have seriously considered the 4K non-OLED screen if it wasn't for the price, if they brought it down to £365, I'd pick one up immediately.
I wanted two but was skeptical of buying. My order arrived today, early, and it far exceeds expectations. Really impressed with the quality of the monitor and the stand is top notch.
Nice. Decided 2.5k was the best resolution given the size.
The stand is super and holds it with a strong magnet. Just screw on the rubber disc tightly and attach to the middle of the back of the monitor.
Fantastic portable monitor
I’m extremely happy my 2.5K portable monitor. From the delivery experience to the product itself, everything has been excellent.
The screen is incredibly light, thin, and easy to set up, making it perfect for working on the go. The image quality is fantastic, especially considering I went for the 2.5K model rather than one of the more premium options. The brightness is also a major plus — this was an issue with other portable monitors I’ve used before, but it’s absolutely not a problem here.
My only piece of constructive feedback would be the magnetic mounting system. The magnet itself is strong and holds the monitor securely, but because the attachment is round and there’s no physical guide or recess to keep it perfectly positioned, the monitor can sometimes tilt slightly to one side or slide down a little if the magnet isn’t centered perfectly. A small positioning guide could probably solve this.
That said, this is an small issue and doesn’t take away much from the experience. I’d still give it 5 stars without hesitation.
Overall, I’m really impressed with the quality, portability, display and ease of use. It’s made working with a second screen while travelling so much easier.
Thank you to the Tern Setups team, and I wish you all the best! Highly recommended.
The screen was up to my expectations. However there is still space for improvement, regarding the magnatic stand.
For example, it would be easier for the user to have some predefined positions for the magnet, instead of complete freedom. Also, instead of a totally circular shape you can try one with some vertices, like a pentagon or hexagon. This way, implementing both suggestion, the screen would never swift to either of the sides.
Feel free to contact me, if you want to explore these ideas.
Elegant Simplicity: The quality of the 3K OLED screen is phenomenal. The setup of the wiring and monitor placement is super simple and intuitive. The tool- and hardware-free magnetic connection is outstanding. If the monitor tilts a little, just place it a bit to one side or the other on the magnet. The collapsible monitor stand is both minimal and highly functional. Well done!
I love this monitor. I was a bit skeptical at first because there is no reviews but when this arrived i was amazed on how good the screen is and love that i can stack it on top of my laptop. Its also a good portrait monitor too! This lets me work inside my car and still be productive.
Great monitor, but a few improvements would make it a 5-star product
I’ve been using this monitor as part of my daily workflow with an M5 iPad Pro, Mac devices and even tested it with a PS5 (EA26). The display itself is excellent. The 2.5K resolution is sharp, the USB-C connectivity is up to date, and it fits perfectly into a modern remote working setup. For my use case, the screen quality and overall experience are exactly what I was looking for.
That said, there are a few things that stop this being a 5-star product:
1. Stand stability – The magnetic stand works well, but unless the magnet is positioned almost perfectly, the monitor tends to lean slightly towards the side where the cables are connected. It’s not a deal breaker, but it does mean regularly adjusting the screen to keep it level. Once the position is correct, it stays stable until the next time you set it up again.
2. Include a proper USB-C power/video cable – A monitor at this price should include a high-quality USB-C cable capable of carrying both power and video. Having to purchase the correct cable separately feels unnecessary.
3. Include an angled HDMI cable or adapter – The side-mounted ports make an angled HDMI connector much neater and reduce strain on the port. Again, this is something customers shouldn’t really have to buy separately.
4. Improve the carry case – The supplied pouch only protects the screen itself. There’s nowhere to store the stand, cables or accessories. Considering this is marketed as a portable monitor, I’d love to see either a larger travel case included or at least an optional custom travel case designed to carry the complete setup.
Despite these points, I still think this is an excellent portable monitor. The display quality, resolution and connectivity are exactly what I needed, and with a few thoughtful accessories included in the box, this would easily be a 5-star product.
Tern Setups portable monitor is well designed in terms of functionality of the ports on the monitor and satisfactory speaker performance .No need to say anything about mobility freedom that comes with it . In addition to the all , product design is supporting hdmi connection for old laptops and Usb-C connection for new laptops ,mobile phones and also Ipad/iphone. Usb-A port is perfectly thought. I am using it for the USB mouse with an Ipad .The box of the monitor is covering all necessary parts ( e.g HDMI/usb-c and usb-c power cable, power adapter, case/cover for the monitor) for old and new laptops,Mobiles,iPhone/iPad . I chose the monitor with stand and I strongly recommend this combination because of full mobility freedom that is provided by the Tern Setups. By the way customer service is doing great job , replying to emails by rational answers , guidance and without any delay.

Loving my monitor. I've had this for about 8 months already and it became my go-to monitor and part of daily work setup. It is very light and versatile, being able to set it up quickly at any time. It is very pleasant to being to able to use the same setup in different places, whereas at an airpot in a long scale, co-work, café, my own kitchen or during a long train ride (picture). I really like the 4K mate finish, it is very easy on the eyes and perfect to work. I am a software developer.
There was an issue with a dead pixel after some months but the support was really helpful trying to solve it and they ended up replacing the unit with a new one, which works great.
just ordered the product with 1-day delivery. It arrived super fast today and overall I love it!
However, I do have some constructive feedback:
First, a small dislike is that you can't adjust the monitor directly you have to loosen the screw first, then adjust it. It's okay for now, but I'll see in a week if that becomes an issue in my daily workflow. On a positive note, the magnet is actually very strong! I was initially scared it would be weak based on some reviews saying it was wobbly, but that's definitely not the case.
Additionally, I wish the stand could go a little higher (maybe 5-10cm taller). I'm a very tall person (197cm), so while sitting, it's a bit too short for me. It would be great if you offered a second, taller variant in the future.
Lastly, regarding the cables: I saw that the 'What's in the box' section lists two USB-C cables, and I did receive them. However, in your promotional videos, the setup is shown with just one clean cable that handles both power and display. Considering the premium price (I paid 725 Euros for the 3K OLED and magnetic stand), it's a bit disappointing to realize I have to go to Amazon to buy a specific single cable to achieve the clean look advertised in your videos. It would be a much better customer experience if you included this specific 1-cable solution in the box, or at least offered it as a very clear upsell on the product page. A screen protector would also be a great addition at this price point
Excellent product & very simple to setup. Excellent, super-quick customer support when I had a query on powering laptop via screen (which it does). I bought the 4k screen for travelling, but have now incorporated it into my home set up as a third portrait screen for reading docs. Very nice!
I have had this monitor for two weeks and it’s completely changed the way I work. I move around a lot and now I don’t have to compromise between transportability and functionality. It is very versatile and lightweight, and feels like quality.
Besides, customer service is incredibly reactive, I definitely recommend.
Great product. I use the 4k version with my 14" MBP, I actually traded in my 16" MBP because of this screen, now I have the best of both worlds, smaller form factor of the 14" and more screen real estate.
Hi,
I have successfully received the product, and the delivery process was seamless, supported by a highly efficient and reliable transport service.
From my initial contact, your team demonstrated a consistently high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail, which inspired confidence throughout the entire purchasing process.
The product itself has met—and in many respects exceeded—my expectations in terms of quality and performance.
Overall, this has been an outstanding customer experience. I would not hesitate to recommend your company and look forward to working with you again in the future.👌
I'm in a small apartment and use the dining table as a work table during the day. Monitor from Tern Setup really boosted my productivity and helps me to have a truly portable solution that can be stored at a moment's notice. But the best part of the product is the build quality. I have the 2,5k version and it's amazing. The picture quality is so good, I regret not buying two. The stand and the way it is connected to the monitor is top-notch. I would recommend this monitor to anyone on the go or with a small space that needs a productivity boost.
A very helpful invention!
It works well as a second monitor in the studio
and as a laptop backup for travel and field work.
It's very well designed.
I have great pleasure and satisfaction using it.
The monitor control app recommended
by the seller is also very helpful.
It's a real convenience :)
I recently purchased this 4K monitor and I’m very satisfied with the image quality, it’s excellent, with sharp colors and great definition.
I’m a programmer and spend many hours writing code, and this monitor really makes a difference in both comfort and productivity. The extra screen space and text clarity make working much more enjoyable.
Additionally, the communication with support was fast, helpful, and very professional.
I definitely recommend it!!!
yo! whoever invented this joint, you deserve a Grammy.
the world has become my workstation.
i'm about to rebuild Rome in one day.
i wish i could give you six stars.
I was a bit sceptical at first after researching the company, as there are so many fake product websites out there. However, I decided to take the plunge and order one and I’m very glad I did.
This is a fantastic piece of kit that allows me to optimise my work setup while on the road. I use three additional USB-C powered monitors: one above my laptop’s native screen and two on the sides and this stand handles the setup perfectly. My previous stand was bulky and awkward to store and transport; this one finally solves that problem.
Thank you very much!
P.S. I would suggest not hiding company details behind your domain registration. Being more official and transparent would inspire greater trust, as the current setup may unintentionally give the impression of a fake product. I will soon be launching a website featuring genuine, trusted, and tested quality products (truetesters.com), and I would be happy to include you there. Please also respond to enquiry emails as my enquiries about your comapny were left unanswered.
I bought a 4K OLED screen (and the stand) a year ago and all I can say is that the setup is working very nicely and the screen quality is very good, totally worth it.
Where have you been all my life? I travel often for work and have used many different types of stands, and gadgets to keep my multi-screen setup slim, light, and extremely useful but nothing has come close to Tern’s magnetic tripod stand.
Not only does it do what it advertises for portable monitors, it doubles as a tripod for my mobile photography, or a way to elevate my iPad while watching videos.
I recently purchased a 4K OLED monitor, and I’m genuinely impressed by its picture quality—everything from the accurate colors to the incredibly sharp images. I also appreciate having an HDMI port as a display option, which frees up the USB‑C port for other devices. Plus, the OLED monitor supports pass‑through charging, allowing me to connect a single USB‑C cable for both power and data. Overall, the performance and visual quality have exceeded my expectations.
To date, I've purchased (1) laptop stand, (1) 4k oled monitor with stand package, and the nexstand.
Couldn't be happier with my OLED screen! It's indeed the best portable screen on the market! Quality is superb and works amazingly on Mac with the best detail. If you work with design software or photography, this is indeed the best you can get! 100% recommended!
Portability is where this thing really shines. It’s light, slim, and effortless to carry, yet performs like a full-size secondary screen. Setup takes seconds, and suddenly working on the go actually feels comfortable and productive.
Hands down, this is one of the best gifts I’ve ever received and one of the most useful. If you travel, work remotely, or just want a clean dual-screen setup without clutter, this is a no-brainer.
The monitor is genuinely incredible, I highly recommend the choice of 4K, the colors and quality are just as good as my macbook pro, and its so lightweight its like this was what i was looking for in my remote work life. The stand is also amazing and 1000% worth getting, I love that the monitor can also stand on its own if needed, the design is just immaculate. The only suggestion i would make to Tern is to maybe have an indent of where the magnetic stand should go because if you don’t center it right then the monitor will tilt in the direction where you plug in your wire due to the weight imbalance, but this is a minor thing.
