Capable of being used as a main display or a second display, the 15.6-inch FHD (1920×1080) monitor is super slim, weighs just 885 grams and comes with a built-in 3000 mAh battery, so no plug required. on (except for charging). It supports multiple wireless connection methods, including AirPlay, MiraCast, and DLNA, and can also be connected via HDMI and Type-C cables.
The monitor is currently listed on Greenfunding, a popular Japanese crowdfunding site, with an early bird price of ¥39,637 ($252). This includes the monitor and a folding stand, a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable, and Type-C to Type-C and Type-C to Type-A cables. (Unfortunately, wired connections to smartphones are not supported.)

UniqStyle suggests that PROMETHEUS CAST can be used as a “second monitor for a laptop, or enjoy smartphone photos and videos, YouTube and other content with friends and family on a big screen.” It also has the flexibility to be used vertically, for tasks like web browsing or chatting, but you'll need a separate stand for that.
The monitor features built-in speakers on both sides and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack. PROMETHEUS CAST includes a touch panel feature compatible with Windows and Android operating systems, so you can interact with it using the screen of the connected device.
While crowdfunding can bring products like PROMETHEUS CAST to market, it also carries risks, such as project delays, changes to product specifications, or even project cancellations, so you should be aware of the dangers before deciding to back something. That said, PROMETHEUS CAST is the latest display in UniqStyle's PROMETHEUS range, and the company has successfully financed previous models.
