As a portable display for netbooks or laptops, the Samsung LD190 is a semi-success. While the pop-out stand makes it easier to transport, it's still a 19in monitor, so it's never going to be really convenient.

However, the software provided is easy to use and helpfully allows you to rotate the screen. Our gripe here is that the pop-out stand doesn't swivel and there are no rubber feet on the side, so you'll need to find a wall to balance it against. Still, that's preferable to not supporting rotation at all.
