The short answer

Screenmate is a Dutch brand of portable monitors, portable displays, and accessories that make it easier to work productively. We help professionals, entrepreneurs, students, and teams work with a better overview—at home, in the office, and on the go.

Our product lineup ranges from a single, lightweight, portable second screen to complete setups with two or three additional screens, complemented by accessories for a practical workspace. Each product is evaluated for quality, portability, design, ease of use, and materials. In this way, we combine a carefully curated selection with clear compatibility advice and personalized assistance with installation.

Didam · since 2022

Our work went mobile. Our workplace was left behind.

As remote work became more common, we saw the same pattern over and over again: people could work from anywhere, but they made do with a single small laptop screen, a cluttered desk, and constantly shifting windows. They had the freedom, but not the big-picture view.

In 2022, that quest, which began in Didam, was given a name: Screenmate. Not out of a desire to offer as many monitors as possible, but to find the right mobile workstations—products that are easy to carry, function intuitively, feel sturdy, and provide visual calm. In this way, Screenmate grew into a Dutch brand that brings together technology, portability, and thoughtful design.

“Not as many products as possible, but carefully selected solutions that make every workday better.”
The basic concept behind Screenmate
From Frustration to Focus

A better workday starts with a clearer overview.

Every step in our story revolves around the same question: How can we make a fully-fledged workspace easier to take with you, choose, and use?

Two professionals discuss their work using a laptop and a portable Screenmate monitor
01

The Loss

Video calls while working on your documents. Constantly searching through tabs. Opening the same information over and over again. Working remotely gave me freedom, but it came at the cost of organization and peace of mind.

02

The Breakthrough

A portable monitor instantly gives you more workspace. You can keep your email, schedule, research, and calls open side by side—no matter where you’re working.

03

The Selection

Not every screen deserves a place in our product lineup. We evaluate potential models based on quality, portability, design, ease of use, and materials—as well as whether they offer clear added value in a real workday.

04

The Promise

A Screenmate shouldn't just look good right out of the box—it should also fit perfectly and be a pleasure to use. That's why compatibility advice and personalized installation assistance are included with the product.

Why Screenmate

Calm in the design. Confidence in the choice.

A wider selection isn't necessarily a better selection. That's why we evaluate every potential product based on five set criteria. Only when quality, portability, design, ease of use, and materials all meet our standards can a model be a good fit for Screenmate.

01Quality

We evaluate image quality, connectivity, and technical stability during daily use.

02Portability

Size, weight, storage, portability, and reassembly must all be in balance.

03Design

The design should be understated, functional, and suitable for a variety of work environments.

04Ease of Use

Connecting, configuring, and switching should feel intuitive and take very little time.

05Materials

We pay attention to the finish, sturdiness, and feel of the housing, as well as the standard and moving parts.

The Screenmate Selection Method

From the initial inspection to a spot in the product line.

Every candidate goes through the same set of steps. This way, we base our decision not on a single strong quality, but on the overall experience during a typical day of mobile work.

  1. 01Initial Selection

    We determine whether the product solves a clear problem and fits into a quiet, portable workspace.

  2. 02Connectivity & Compatibility

    We check the connections, power supply, video connection, and compatibility with common laptops.

  3. 03Working in the Field

    We use the product for documents, video calls, scheduling, and multiple windows at the same time.

  4. 04What to Bring & Equipment

    We evaluate size, weight, storage, stability, finish, and moving parts.

  5. 05Final Selection

    Only when all five criteria are met can the product be included in the product line.

01 · Practical Assessment

Tested as part of a real workday.

We don't just look at a list of specifications. We evaluate how a screen engages the user, integrates with other applications, performs, and functions when multiple windows, documents, and conversations demand attention at the same time.

02 · Final Selection

Only models that are convincing as a whole.

A durable screen with clunky controls or a beautiful design made of flimsy materials will still be rejected. The product must be well-rounded overall before it can be included in our carefully curated selection.

03 · Match & Service

The best product is the one that's right for you.

That's why we combine our selection with compatibility advice and personalized assistance. This way, you'll not only choose a good monitor, but also a workspace that fits your laptop and daily routine.

Who We're Here For

For anyone who wants to be able to work effectively anywhere.

Screenmate is for people who need more space for their ideas, analyses, conversations, and planning—without being tied to a single desk.

Hybrid Professionals

The same overview at home and at the office.

During a video call, keep your calendar, notes, and presentation open side by side. This way, you can switch seamlessly between working from home, the office, and a flexible workspace without having to set up your workspace from scratch every time.

Entrepreneurs & Consultants

A complete workspace that fits in your bag.

Work at a client's office, on the train, or from a hotel with dashboards, documents, and communications all visible at once. Ideal for those who travel frequently but still need a professional overview.

Creative Professionals & Analysts

More canvas for work that requires space.

Focus on your design or analysis, and use the extra screens for timelines, source material, previews, and data. Fewer overlapping windows means more attention for the work itself.

Students & Researchers

Source and elaboration displayed simultaneously.

Read articles, compare sources, and write your paper without constantly switching between tabs. This makes long study and research sessions more organized and less stressful.
