ASUS - XG17AHPE

The XG17APH is an excellent portable gaming monitor. 1080p is a good resolution for a 17" monitor, it has higher pixel density than a 27" 1440p monitor.

The Asus ROG Strix XG17AHP is the best portable gaming monitor I have personally used. That being said, I think it has 3ms latency, I could be wrong on that though, so it may be worth looking up.

I don't want to scare you but I'd just watch out for any charging issues- I have the XG16APHE (Newer version) and I've been having constant problems with it. I am in the middle of returning mine, had it for a year before it just stopped charging properly. If you're using the monitor while plugged in it will slowly discharge and you'll have to do a factory reset (power button + volume key) and charge it fully before using it again. There are many reddit posts about it and it seems to be a manufacturing defect. Asus also have the worst customer support (see gamersnexus channel about the scandal) so if you run into issues when you're out of warranty you'll be at a loss. Honestly I would recommend just returning it to save the headache later as it's most likely you'll run into issues with the battery later, at least the cheaper portable gaming monitors are replaceable but expensive ones like these you'd expect to last for long for the amount you pay.

1080p 240HZ

I bought it used from eBay for $200

It's ok to me ....

I love my XG17 use it every day in my office as a second monitor now, but also when I travel. Iv had it for over a year for sure maybe even two, I don’t even know at this point. But I use it with my Zephyrus S17 The big thing is. If yours doesn’t come with a tripod you’re going to have to build one out of random metal tripod components. Between Neewer and Ulanzi I built an awesome one.

I love that monitor. I used it when I play Victoria III on the go.

I have the same portable monitor and thinking about getting the ally x. Does the ally x keep the monitor charged if the ally x is plugged into the wall? Trying to think about the simplest setup for a LAN party

The monitor doesn't have to be powered separately, I've used it with my laptop and it can display and charge the monitor with a single cable. Was curious if the ally x could do that too. Anyways, thanks!

Yeah, I just ordered it on Amazon since I already have 1 LG monitor that I could pair up with it when I’m just leaving it on my desk and I was sold on the stand upgrade albeit 100 dollars more. Definitely a lot of cash but the 240hz will be nice to pair with my 144hz monitor for a mix.

Sorry for replying so late, I just opted for the Asus one with 1080p 240hz because I had the money. The monitor is really good and I like the custom folding stand that it came with (extra $100) however there seems to be some noticeable edge backlight bleed that others have also pointed out which is just enough to be a cause of concern especially because this is a 550 dollar portable monitor. The brightness of the display is 300 bits which is just sufficient enough not not complain about at 100% but if you’re using it on the battery mode you’ll have to turn it down to make the display last longer and the brightness difference becomes very noticeable. Overall I’m still gonna keep it because it’s the best you’ll get for the price, the build quality is superb minus the plastic bezels and I don’t mind the bleed enough that I’d want to return it plus I think there’s a 3 year warranty on it so I’ll only send it back if the bleed gets noticeably bad TLDR: I got the Asus XG17APHE, best portable monitor to get for the money, cool folding stand, build mostly of aluminum, 240hz display very nice, speakers are trash, plastic bezels on front are trash, and Noticeable backlight bleed on the edges (almost enough to not buy) If they made an update to this monitor what I’d want to see is: (full aluminum frame housing, higher PPI at 1440p or more, higher LCD display brightness at 400 nits minimum while fixing the backlight bleed or just switching to mini led/oled, and get better WAY better speakers)
