Snag a Refurb Pixels Mobile Monitor and Take a Second Screen on the Go

These portable monitors are slim and versatile. And right now you can pick up a used model for as little as $160.

Adding a second monitor to your workstation can seriously boost your productivity, and once you make the switch, you’ll never want to go back to a single-monitor setup again. You can’t lug a hefty 32-inch 4K monitor around with you, but there are slimmer screens designed to be portable — and right now you can snag one at a great price. Today only, Woot has a selection of refurbished Pixels mobile monitors on sale, with prices starting at just $160. This sale ends at 9:59 p.m. PT (12:59 a.m. ET) tonight, and some models may sell out before then, so we’d recommend getting your order in soon if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.

See at Woot

All the monitors available here are refurbished, which means they may show «slight signs» of wear and tear, but have been tested and ensured to be in complete working condition. They also come backed by Woot’s 90-day limited warranty, so you’re covered in case you run into any issues in the first three months.

If you don’t mind some dings and scrapes, this sale is a great chance to get your hands on a sleek monitor you can take anywhere at a great price. At $160, the Pixels Trio is the most affordable model you’ll find at this sale. It features a 12.5-inch full HD display, and connects to your laptop, PC or even your Nintendo Switch using a USB-A or USB-C cable. You can even connect two at a time if you want to go all out with a triple-monitor setup. Or, if you’d prefer a larger display, you can pick up the Duex Max for $180. At 14.1 inches, it has the largest screen of any monitor on this sale, and it’s extremely portable at just 0.35 inches thick. And if 14 inches is a little large for your needs, you can snag the 13.3-inch Duex Plus for $180 as well.

You can also check out our roundup of all the best monitor deals for even more bargains on secondary screens.

Hint for today’s Strands puzzle

Today’s Strands theme is: That’s dedication.

If that doesn’t help you, here’s a clue: I’m cheering you on.

Clue words to unlock in-game hints

Your goal is to find hidden words that fit the puzzle’s theme. If you’re stuck, find any words you can. Every time you find three words of four letters or more, Strands will reveal one of the theme words. These are the words I used to get those hints but any words of four or more letters that you find will work:

LORE, REST, RESTS, ROTE, ROTS, STORE, TENT, DOVE, DEVOTE, STEW, LONE

Answers for today’s Strands puzzle

These are the answers that tie into the theme. The goal of the puzzle is to find them all, including the spangram, a theme word that reaches from one side of the puzzle to the other. When you have all of them (I originally thought there were always eight but learned that the number can vary), every letter on the board will be used. Here are the nonspangram answers:

STAN, LOVER, DEVOTEE, FOLLOWER, ENTHUSIAST

Today’s Strands spangram

Today’s Strands spangram is YOURBIGGESTFAN. To find it, start with the Y that’s three letters down on the far-left vertical row, and wind down, up and over.
