  "account": "The Zumwalt S8 Pro is a laptop screen extender that can turn a single display into a three-screen workstation for $230. The device plugs onto the side of compatible 13-inch to 17.3-inch laptops, adding two 14-inch Full HD screens. These additional displays fold out on either side of the main laptop screen, offering extra workspace wherever you take your laptop. The extender works with Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, and other devices, provided they support the necessary video outputs.\n\nThe main advantage of the Zumwalt S8 Pro is having three screens available at all times. You could keep a document on the main screen, use another for research, and leave email or messaging apps on the third. The extender features two 14-inch IPS LCD panels with 1920 x 1080 resolution, 60Hz refresh rate, and 300-nit brightness. The screens also have 100% sRGB color coverage and 178-degree viewing angles.\n\nThe Zumwalt S8 Pro is constructed from aluminum with an ultra-thin profile and adjustable screens that fold away for easy transportation. It comes with a protective carrying case, and an integrated kickstand supports the additional displays. The current Amazon price of $229.98 represents a 28% reduction from the original $319.99, making it a more affordable option than purchasing separate monitors.\n\nThis screen extender is recommended for individuals who frequently work with multiple applications, travel with their laptops, or desire more display space without the need for a permanent multi-monitor setup. However, it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly if your laptop does not support the required video outputs or if you frequently use MacBooks with display limitations.",
  "summary": "This screen extender gives your spreadsheets, documents, and calls their own monitors thanks to two extra 1080p displays flanking your laptop.",
