Our Verdict

Mobile Pixels TRIO

Mobile Pixels DUEX Plus

The Mobile Pixels TRIO and the Mobile Pixels DUEX Plus are very similar overall. The TRIO has slightly better viewing angles, higher peak brightness, and slightly better reflection handling, so it's more capable of overcoming glare in a bright room. On the other hand, the DUEX Plus has much lower input lag. The biggest difference between them is in the design, as the DUEX is designed to be used as a single additional monitor, whereas the TRIO is designed to be used either as a single additional monitor or as a pair of additional monitors.
