Tern Setups was founded by Alan Rebane in 2022. The company is based in Tallinn, Estonia.
When remote work became widely accepted and prevalent in 2020, I was excited to use the freedom that came with it. However, I realised I couldn’t leave my home office since my 27’’ desktop monitor wasn’t particularly portable. I worked as a solutions delivery engineer and needed to use two screens simultaneously: one for displaying the application and the other for client calls.
I was looking for a great monitor that I could use ergonomically and fit in a backpack. Surprisingly, I discovered that existing IPS portable monitors were heavy, had low brightness and resolution, and could not be raised to eye level. Furthermore, there were no OLED portable monitors on the market.
I tried elevating the portable monitor using a pile of books or a laptop stand. However, I discovered something important. Since portable monitors were lighter than professional cameras, I could use a tripod with a clever magnetic system inside the portable monitor.
This discovery and the lack of high-quality portable monitors led to our one-of-a-kind portable monitor setup. In 2024, thanks to a team of experienced designers and engineers, we brought it to life!
