Shenzhen Xunlong Software, better known under the Orange Pi brand, has launched a 14-inch Full HD portable monitor for $59 plus shipping on Aliexpress, or a little more on Amazon.
The company is better known for its low-cost Arm-based single board computers with Rockchip or Allwinner processors, but this time, they launched an accessory with a 14-inch display taking HDMI or USB Type-C input with up to 1920×1080 resolution.

The monitor ships with an HDMI cable, a US-type power adapter with a USB-C cable, and a stand. The Orange Pi portable monitor mainly stands out because of its low price, as it’s much cheaper than other such monitors. It does so by not including features such as touchscreen and battery, and it’s limited to 262K color instead of the more common 16M color scheme. Note the shipping fees and taxes like (VAT) are not included so depending on where you live the total price may end up close to $100.
The company is also selling a complete kit with the Orange Pi 800 PC keyboard, a webcam, a mouse, and the monitor for $159 plus shipping and taxes (after applying a $30 coupon valid until December 1st).
