Rent a screen in Bali: which size, what it costs and how it gets to your villa

A laptop screen is fine for a week. For a month of real work in Bali you want a proper screen at eye level, and you don't need to buy one or carry one through an airport. You can rent a monitor in Bali by the week or by the month, and it arrives at your villa the day you order it.

Prices on this page come from our live catalog and are in US dollars.

Which screen to rent

We rent three, and the choice comes down to what's on it all day.

The LG 32-inch 4K is the one for video, photo, design and anyone who keeps a timeline or three windows open at once. It has HDR10 and DCI-P3 colour, built-in speakers, and a stand that lifts, tilts and turns to portrait. It's $160 a month or $64 a week.

The AOC 27-inch QHD suits most people and most desks: code beside a terminal, a spreadsheet beside a browser. It's $110 a month or $44 a week.

The 24-inch Full HD is the pick for a shallow desk, or when the second screen is mainly for mail and chat. It's $40 a month or $16 a week.

Connecting it to your laptop

The 27 and the 32 connect with one USB-C cable that carries the picture and charges the laptop, so a MacBook needs nothing else on the desk. Both also have a USB 3 hub for your keyboard, webcam or drive. The 24-inch comes with an HDMI cable and a USB-C adapter for MacBooks. Every screen ships with its cables, and whoever delivers it plugs it in and checks the picture before leaving.

How delivery works

Order in the morning and the screen is on your desk that afternoon. Delivery and pickup are free in Canggu, Pererenan, Seminyak, Kuta, Ubud, Uluwatu and Sanur for orders above the minimum, and we quote other areas when you send the location. The shortest rental is one week. When you change villa, we move everything for free once a month.

You can order online and pay by card, or message us on WhatsApp and pay by transfer or cash.

One screen or the whole desk

A screen on a dining table fixes your eyes and leaves your back where it was. Most people who rent a screen add the rest within a fortnight, so it's worth looking at the packages first. The Productive is a height-adjustable desk, an ergonomic chair and the 27-inch screen for $199 a month. The Best swaps in the 32-inch 4K and adds the Logitech MX keyboard and mouse, a laptop stand and a webcam for $345. If the room still needs sorting out, the villa home office guide goes through power, Wi-Fi and light.

Cafés and coworking spaces are good for company and a change of scene, and the better ones will lend you a screen for the day. What they can't give you is your own screen at your own eye level, in the room you sleep next to, still there for the call at eleven at night.

That part is ours. A 32-inch 4K screen at $160 a month, the 27-inch at $110, or a full desk with a height-adjustable desk and an ergonomic chair. We deliver the same day, set it up, and collect it when you leave.
