SideTrak Solo Triple 15.6"

Two portable 15.6" 1080p panels for $561, with a compact design that ranks in the 93rd percentile. But the 60Hz refresh rate and 22nd percentile display score mean this is a productivity tool, not a gaming setup. The 27.5 out of 100 overall score tells the story: great idea, mediocre execution.

The Solo Triple is not built for speed. Both panels run at 60Hz, which lands in the 22nd percentile for performance. That is fine for spreadsheets and Slack, but if you are hoping to game on these, you will feel the ceiling pretty quick. The 1920 x 1080 resolution on a 15.6" IPS panel gives you decent pixel density, but the display score sits at the 22nd percentile too. HDR mode is mentioned in the marketing, but the color score is a mediocre 33rd percentile, so do not expect vibrant, accurate HDR. It is there, it technically works, but it is not going to wow anyone who has seen a proper HDR panel. The connectivity is middle of the pack at the 50th percentile, with one HDMI, one USB-C, and built-in speakers per screen. Nothing fancy, but it covers the basics.

Stacked against the ASUS ROG Strix XG27UCDMG or the LG UltraGear 45GX950A-B, the SideTrak Solo Triple looks like it's playing a different sport. Those are high-refresh gaming monitors with proper HDR and color performance. The Samsung Odyssey G60SD and MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 both offer OLED panels with dramatically better color and contrast. Even the Dell UltraSharp U4025QW, while more expensive, delivers a single ultrawide panel that's far better for office work. The SideTrak's only real advantage is the dual-screen portability angle. If you need two extra screens that fit in a laptop bag, none of those competitors can touch it. But if you're at a desk, any of them will run circles around it.

At $561 for two portable panels, the math isn't terrible on paper. That's about $280 per screen, which is reasonable for a 15.6" IPS portable monitor. But the value proposition falls apart when you look at what that money gets you elsewhere. The office score of 18.6 out of 100 is rough, and the creative score of 22.8 isn't much better. You're paying for the form factor and the dual-screen convenience, not for quality. If portability is your top priority, this might make sense. If you care about color accuracy or refresh rate, you're overpaying.

The SideTrak Solo Triple is a weird one to score. You're getting two freestanding 15.6" 1080p IPS panels for $561, which sounds like a productivity dream until you look at the numbers. Our database puts this thing at 27.5 out of 100 overall, with a portable score of 68.5 that's doing a lot of heavy lifting. The compact ranking is genuinely impressive at the 93rd percentile, but that's where the good news mostly ends.

If you care about color accuracy, skip this. The 33rd percentile color score and 22.8 out of 100 creative score mean photo editors and designers will be frustrated. Gamers should also look elsewhere, the 60Hz refresh rate and 22nd percentile performance score won't cut it for fast-paced titles. And if you're planning to use these as a permanent desk setup, the 10th percentile ergonomics score will have you hunched over in no time. This is a travel-only product, and even then, the 18.6 out of 100 office score suggests it's not great at its intended job.

The SideTrak Solo Triple is a niche product that nails the portability angle but fumbles nearly everything else. The 93rd percentile compact score is real, and if you're a road warrior who needs triple-screen productivity from a laptop, this is one of the few options that delivers. But the 22nd percentile display and performance scores mean you're making serious compromises. The 10th percentile ergonomics score is also a red flag for anyone planning to use these daily. At $561, it's a tough sell unless the form factor is exactly what you need.
