Why is this a good deal?

Aside from the fact that this makes the workday significantly more pleasant, it's the lowest price we've ever seen. The $10 coupon drops it to just $78, a deal that you won't beat elsewhere.

Why do I need this?

This is a useful accessory to keep around if you work on the go. You can always plug into your laptop to double your productivity, even connect your phone to it. Nintendo Switch? No problem. Whatever you need a second screen for, the KYY Portable Monitor can help. It reaches 300 nits brightness — i.e., plenty bright enough for most uses, but it might struggle a little if you use it in direct sunlight.

The modern 16:9 aspect ratio means it's compatible with almost all outputs, and the 1080p resolution (combined with the 16.7 million display colors) make this good enough for professional work. It connects to other devices via a USB-C cable, and the monitor even has dual integrated stereo speakers for a superior audio experience.

If your computer doesn't have a USB-C port, don't worry — you can also connect via HDMI and USB-A. If you want to use it without bothering anyone around you, this monitor also has a 3.5mm audio jack to accommodate a pair of headphones.

What reviewers say

More than 2,800 fans have given it a perfect rating, too. "My favorite purchase of the summer," one fan raved. "My best friend loaned me her portable monitor and within 24 hours I placed an order for my own."

"I work remotely, and I have a full desk setup at home. One of the joys of working remotely is to not always work from home. One of the challenges of not working at your desk is the lack of a second monitor. This monitor is the perfect size for me to schlep to a coffee shop, or even on vacation, and maintain my productivity," one worker said.

"Nintendo Switch works. Match made in heaven," gushed this gamer. "I was looking for something small between 15” to 17” for Nintendo Switch gaming on the go. I will be using this in the semi truck. I think the sound is great for small- to medium-sized rooms. For me, the graphics and sound suits my needs. This monitor is easier to transport."

"The one downside is any standard HDMI cable sticks out almost to 2" or more. That really takes away from an otherwise compact design. Also, I'm afraid something sticking out so far could be a weak point if it ever gets bumped hard or dropped," wrote one shopper.
