Luxor Luxor SideTrak Solo Pro 15.8" HDR Monitor (2-Pack) Review

This two-pack scores a perfect 100 for portability but lands in the 2nd percentile for performance. They're incredibly easy to carry and connect, but the 60Hz, 9ms, 1080p specs are basic. Buy them if you need lightweight extra screens, skip them if you care about image quality or gaming.

The Luxor SideTrak Solo Pro is a two-pack of portable monitors that score a perfect 100 in compactness. That's the headline. They weigh just 550g each, and their connectivity lands in the 93rd percentile thanks to dual USB-C ports. But you're buying a pair of screens that sit in the 2nd percentile for performance and the 24th percentile for display quality. That means a 60Hz refresh rate, 9ms response time, and a 1080p resolution on a 15.8" IPS panel. Our database says these are best for portable use (83/100), but they're weak for gaming (21.8/100) and professional work (47.1/100).

Let's be clear: performance here means portability and plug-and-play ease, not pixel-pushing power. The 60Hz refresh and 9ms response time put these monitors in the 2nd percentile for performance among all products in our category. You won't be gaming on these, and even fast-paced work might feel a bit sluggish. The display score is also low at the 24th percentile, driven by the 1080p resolution and 300-nit brightness. The HDR support is a nice checkbox, but with 300 nits and 16.7 million colors, it's more of a marketing feature than a true visual upgrade. The speakers are 1W each, so they're basically for emergency audio only.

You're buying two monitors, so the value math is different. Prices range from $230 to $389 across vendors, a $159 spread. At the low end, you're getting about $115 per screen, which is a fair deal for a highly portable USB-C monitor. At the high end, you're paying nearly $195 per screen, which feels steep for 1080p 60Hz performance. Shop around. The best value is clearly at the lower price point, where the portability and connectivity perks outweigh the performance shortcomings.

Compared to the giants like the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 or ASUS ProArt OLED, these Luxor screens are from a different universe. They're not competing on resolution, refresh rate, or color depth. They're competing on 'can I fit this in my bag?' And they win that contest decisively. Against other portable monitors, their dual USB-C ports and tilt stand give them an edge in connectivity and ergonomics (93rd and 66th percentile). But if you need even basic gaming performance, a portable screen with a higher refresh rate, like some 120Hz options, will be a better fit, even if it costs more per unit.

Skip this two-pack if you're a gamer, a creative pro, or anyone who cares about screen quality. The gaming score is 21.8/100, the professional score is 47.1/100, and the display quality sits in the 24th percentile. Those numbers tell you this is a tool for convenience, not for performance. If you need high refresh rates, accurate colors, or sharp resolution, these monitors will disappoint you.

We recommend this two-pack if your top priority is adding portable screen real estate with minimal hassle. The perfect compactness score and excellent connectivity make them a smart buy for travelers, students, or anyone who needs a quick second screen on the go. But we can't recommend them if you care about display quality, gaming, or professional color work. The performance and display percentile scores are just too low. Get these for mobility, not for majesty.
