Espresso is showing off a new Stand Plus accessory alongside a non-touchscreen version of its 15-inch portable monitor.

Surprising as it sounds, the accessory might be the flashier of the two. The revamped Espresso Stand Plus features improved ergonomics and a reingeneered design that adds a second leg.

This addition means that the stand can now extend upwards and allow for a more comfortable, center-oriented and desktop-like viewing angle.

“We believe ergonomics and productivity shouldn’t have to be jeopardised by travel, which is why we created Stand+, a breakthrough for achieving more natural viewing angles that we know our customers are seeking in their portable workstations.” espresso Displays CEO Will Scuderi said. 

The Stand Plus can be paired with any of Espresso 13-inch and 15-inch monitors and will retail for $99 in Australia.

This thriftiness carries over to the new Espresso 15. The company's latest portable monitor weighs significantly less than its last but comes clad in the same matte black finish and anodized aluminum chassis. Although it's smaller than the Espresso 17 Pro, it offers a higher level of pixel density and up to 500 nits of brightness.

As with the other Espresso monitors, the Espresso Display 15 will play nice with anything that supports video passthrough over USB-C. That said, there is one smaller tweak on the formula in that Espresso have shifted away from the 100% DCI-P3 color found in the Espresso 15 Pro and in favor of 99% Adobe RGB color instead. That's not necessarily going to be make-or-break for most people, but it's definitely something that creatives will want to keep in mind before they pull out their wallets.

In Australia, the Espresso 15 will be bundled with the new Stand Plus, priced at $499 and available through Espresso and selected retail partners from this week.
