I don’t understand why Apple has not produced a range of secondary screens with high NITS at a price point below the iPad. It’s a massive opportunity; they have the technology, so there is virtually no R&D expenditure and a vast audience. However, they have failed to adequately provide an add-on for laptop business users who need an extra screen and have created a market for third parties.
If Apple picks up on this Billion-dollar $ opportunity, I think Lauri and I should be Beta users!

There are a lot of small accessory screens for laptops, such as from this company. It appears to be a rather niche market.
Thanks, Adam. I have tried and returned many third-party monitors because, besides an Apple laptop, they pale into insignificance and are dim in comparison. The photos of the monitors have often been enhanced, and when I have received them, they are disappointing.
The highest NITS I have found on third-party monitors is 400 NITS, which is between -60% and -300% dimmer. If you find a portable monitor that is anywhere near 1,000, I will buy it!
I have visited Maxfree, but I can’t find any reference to NITS, which is the Unit of Brightness; if these monitors are genuinely as bright as the photos, you would think they would have the number of NITS as the screen output.
It’s the NITS that define a good, clean monitor. Apple Laptop are between 1,000 and 1,600 NITS. As I said, Apple has both the technology and the ability to add the laptop screen to the market by the scruff of the neck.

Here’s your response from Maxfree Official

Our screens have a brightness of either 250 nits or 300 nits, depending on the model.
