Advice on Best 15.6inch Portable Computer Monitor (Budget $300)

Outatime13 on 17/01/2023 - 08:07

Hi Ozbargain community, I am seeking some help in choosing a portable monitor for when I work away from home. Naturally there is way too many out there and if I start looking I will end up buying none cause it’s hard to decide.

Some featured I would like:
Ideal size is 15.6inch
USB C connection
Has a protective case included
HDMI or mini hdmi - whilst I would never use it as a main gaming monitor, the appeal that I could bring it away and plug in a Nintendo switch in is awesome.
Tripod mountable if possible in case I want to prop up the screen more

It does not have to be a touchscreen one and doesn’t have to be the best specs either just something decent would be great. Budget is around $300 and don’t want to get something from AliExpress that will take forever to get here.

Thanks everyone in advance for your help.

    I recently bought one from Aliexpress from a deal listed here. Got here in just over a week.

    AliExpress with decent (DHL etc) shipping is surprisingly fast.
    There are a bunch of newer 16" 144hz 2.5k models available on there at the moment that work very nicely over a single USB-c cable and are a nice step up over older 15.6 panels.

      Wow, that looks super nice, and it relies only on one cable? Super impressed

    Hi OP and all, I am also looking for a portable monitor.

    I found this Acer monitor for $349

    https://www.scorptec.com.au/product/monitors/22-inch-and-bel…

    Would anyone know if this Acer monitor is good?

    How is this different from the monitors in Aliexpress? are the 16" screens better quality visuals? I am looking for something reliable and with a warranty which is why I am thinking of going with Acer.

    any help would be appreciated!
