* ASUS ZenScreen OLED > If you want colour accuracy, true blacks and ultra-light weight >> $309-399 * ROG Strix XG17AHPE > If you want high-refresh rate, 240Hz >> $429 – 449 * Arzopa Z1FC > if you want price justifies the features. $106–130 It's not about paying more, it's about get what you want, without diminishing returns which is paying for no added value. Meaning, get what you want, don't pay more if you don't have to. You can get other things with the extra.
I got the older 144hz version of the [ASUS Strix 1080p 17.3 monitor](https://a.co/d/b8kga51). Highly recommend. Even has built in speakers.
Yeah portable monitor with wireless HDMI. You're already thinking the right thing and could figure out the best combination of options... ASUS ROG 17.3" Portable Gaming Monitor + EZCast or any of the million HDMI extenders out there, something that can be powered by the monitor and tucked/attached behind it. Anything else is going to be iPad/laptop/app based.
I use a 17-inch portable gaming monitor from Asus for my Claw and Switch 2 when I want a bigger screen. 1080p. Up to 244hz (not that either device will push frame rates that high). It supports Variable Refresh Rate. It's thin and light. The downside is it's pretty expensive.
Already got a monitor it's a little bit big. I have the xg17ahpe from asus
I've got the Asus XG17 and MB229CF, the build and display quality is noticably better than my Uperfect 18.5"
For portable 18″ monitors with 120–144 Hz + 2K, people in the wild really like the Asus ROG Strix XG17AHP (good refresh and build quality) and Lenovo Legion Y27p-17 if you can find one, both are solid IPS panels with stable refresh and bright screens. OLED stuff is usually smaller or gimmicky atm. For a compact keyboard that works wired and wireless without Bluetooth drama, look at Keychron K3/K4
The ASUS TUF and higher have been the best results for me. Don't get the cheap ones off Amazon, they post crazy stats and have 5 star reviews but they are not good. A good one is actually essential these days. Its worth it. Not aure about the screen attachment thing to me, but also having a fixed dock is kind of annoying.
