- NexFold Fold 7, three 16-inch displays fold into a surprisingly compact travel footprint
- Inverted L layout avoids overly wide horizontal monitor layouts
- Each display uses a larger 16:10 aspect ratio for productivity tasks
NexFold built the Fold 7, a portable monitor that features three 16-inch screens in an inverted L shape, leaving the lower right quadrant open for a laptop.
The result is a 2×2, four-screen command center that folds to the size and weight of a standard 16-inch laptop when not in use.
All three panels use IPS displays with 100% sRGB coverage and viewing angles rated at 85° vertically and horizontally.
Three 16-inch inverted L-shaped screens
Each of the three panels uses a 16:10 aspect ratio rather than the more common 16:9, which adds vertical height to each screen for larger documents, more lines of code, and longer browser windows without scrolling.
Two screens stack vertically on the left side while a third extends horizontally across the top right, keeping all three in a narrower visual cone than a typical linear three-monitor arrangement.
NexFold claims this geometry reduces neck movement by 60% and speeds up task switching by 40% compared to a standard horizontal layout.
The professional monitor is available in two resolution levels: the FHD version and the QHD version.
While the former runs at 1920 x 1200 per panel with 300 nits of brightness, the latter goes up to 2560 x 1600 with 500 nits of peak brightness.
Both versions support a 60Hz refresh rate, which seems like a missed opportunity for a productivity setup requiring this level of attention and price.
The whole structure weighs 3.1 kg, clips onto laptops ranging from 13 to 18.5 inches via an adjustable hinge system and vertical stands using a built-in kickstand.
Connectivity options cover both modern and older laptops
The portable monitor supports two main connection modes: mode 1 and mode 2.
While Mode 1 uses a single USB-C cable with DisplayPort Alt mode and 65W power to drive all three displays simultaneously, Mode 2 combines USB-A with mini HDMI for older laptops without modern USB-C video output.
A driver-free FHD variant supporting plug-and-play is also available, although this option currently only works on Windows.
Each panel can also connect individually via mini-HDMI, allowing the Fold 7 to work on mixed devices such as a MacBook and iPad simultaneously.
This device is compatible with Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS, with full tri-monitor functionality depending on the host’s display output capabilities.
The Fold 7 FHD has a retail price of $1,099, while the QHD model sells for $1,399, and both come with a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering defects.
The monitor is currently live on Kickstarter, having raised $325,919 against a $10,000 goal from 427 backers, with early backers securing the FHD at $649 and the QHD at $799.
Both models will go on sale in September 2026 in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania.
