FULL STORY
======================================================================

PROMETHEUS CAST, created by Japanese company UniqStyle, is a portable monitor 
that can connect wirelessly to computers, smartphones, and tablets. 

Able to be used as a main display, or as a second screen, the 15.6-inch FHD 
(1920x1080) monitor is super slim, weighs just 885 grams, and comes with a 
3,000mAh built-in battery so it doesnt need plugging in (except to charge). 
It supports various wireless connection methods, including AirPlay, MiraCast, 
and DLNA, and can also connect via HDMI and Type-C cables. 

The monitor is currently 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. (Wired connections to smartphones are not supported, 
unfortunately). Vertical or horizontal 

UniqStyle suggests PROMETHEUS CAST can be used as a second monitor for a 
laptop, or enjoying photos and videos taken with a smartphone, YouTube and 
other content with friends and family on a large screen. It also has the 
flexibility to be used vertically, for tasks such as web browsing or 
chatting, but youll 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 function that supports 
Windows and Android operating systems, so you can interact with it by using 
the connected devices screen. 

While crowdfunding can bring products like the PROMETHEUS CAST to market, it 
also carries risks, such as project delays, changes in 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 screen in the PROMETHEUS range from UniqStyle, and the company has 
successfully crowdfunded previous models. More from TechRadar Pro We've
