A year and a half ago, I had the opportunity to review an incredibly useful mobile device that quickly and easily doubles your screen real-estate. The FieldMonitorPro is a large screen that, right out of the box, extends your computer to give you additional screen space or allows someone/s to look at your computer screen without having to crowd in next to you. It is terrific for on-the-go demonstrations.

While reviewing the device, I was covering an Apple keynote and found my MacBook air to be too small for watching the video, checking feeds, and writing the post. I pulled out the FieldMonitorPro, plugged it into my MacBook air and more than doubled my viewable space. That experience alone was enough to make me a huge believer in MMT’s products.

Fast forward a year and a half, and the company has released the next generation of both the Monitor2Go and Field Monitor Pro mobile monitors.

The Monitor2Go has a sleek new finish, looks even better than before and now is designed to be compatible with many iOS devices.

A full review is on the way, but we thought we would share a video look at the Monitor2Go now, and give away the last generation Field Monitor Pro review sample.

Here’s the video.

You can learn more about the Monitor2Go here, on the company website.

A full review is on the way. In the meantime, you can win the original review sample of the Field Monitor Pro! We’ll announce the winner in our next newsletter.

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.

    This would be pretty good for photo editing purposes on my ultrabook. The resolution isn’t particularly high, but it’s plenty roomy for palettes, secondary windows, and such.

    This would be nice for presentations of our software from my iPad for a group. Plus you could drop it off when you visit CES in Las Vegas :-)

    This would be nice to use for movie watching from my netbook.

    I’d give it to my best friend Han because I don’t have an iPad and would have no use for it. Plus his birthday is coming up at the end of January and this would save me a lot of trouble on trying to find him a gift! Thanks for another great giveaway!

    I’d use it with my laptop for more desktop space and second viewing screen for movies and shows.
