However, it costs more, so only consider it if you're going to take full advantage of the display.

It has a 144Hz refresh rate, which is high enough for casual gaming, but if you want something with a higher refresh rate, the ASUS ROG Strix XG17AHPE has a 240Hz refresh rate. It's a great gaming monitor because it has an excellent response time, resulting in crystal-clear motion with almost no noticeable blur behind fast-moving objects, and it has extremely low input lag for a responsive gaming experience. It's mainly designed for mobile gaming or if you need something on the side of your main monitor. If that's what you're interested in, the ASUS ROG Strix XG16AHPE is a great choice. Lastly, it's a well-built monitor with a kickstand that adjusts the angle of the screen.Īlthough portable gaming monitors aren't as common as portable monitors for work, you can still find some options if you want a higher refresh rate than the ASUS ProArt PA148CTV for gaming on the go. It also has a touch screen, but unfortunately, it isn't that useful because it doesn't feel responsive and doesn't work with macOS devices. It also has excellent accuracy before calibration, which is better than most portable monitors and good enough if your work requires accurate colors.Ĭonnecting to it is easy as it has two USB-C ports that each support DisplayPort Alt Mode, and it even has a Micro-HDMI input which is ideal if your laptop doesn't support USB-C. With a 1080p resolution and 14-inch screen, there's enough space to see a full window, and the text clarity is excellent due to the high pixel density. Luckily, it's still good enough overall to have as a second display for your laptop. It's an okay choice if you want to use it for productivity and office work, but like most portable monitors, it doesn't give you the same picture quality as a desktop monitor. The best portable monitor we've tested is the ASUS ProArt PA148CTV.
