Both are MSI. The ultrawide is a MSI PRO MP341CQ 34" and the portable monitor is a MSI PRO MP165 E6 15,6".

once you get used to having one of these in your work bag it is difficult to go back. it's really a game changer. and as always, i like to mention spacedesk. you can turn any old ipad or android tablet into a usb screen just from a free program installed on the host pc and an app on the device. im using it right now at my work desk as my itx dell desktop only has 2 displayport outs.

This actually fits my niche use for a semi-portable Switch setup (already found something that emulates the Switch dock to allow USB C to DP)

Thanks for posting that link! Kickstands suck but I always thought of them (or a flip cover) a necessary evil. I never thought of mounting these to a micro tripod. That's a game changer!

You can find similarly spec'd units on Amazon for as low as $43.34, but there's a difference between price and value. At that price you are buying a "Dopesplay" branded monitor with a 1 year "Satisfaction Guarantee". The MSI brand and 2 year manufacturer warranty coupled with Costco satisfaction guarantee add value, making this a better overall value than most no-name brands on Amazon. That said, there is always an exception. In this case that's the $50 AOC 16T20, which has a 3-year warranty and is sold directly by Amazon. [https://www.amazon.com/AOC-16T20-Portable-1920x1080-Compatible/dp/B0F3MMK1J4?](https://www.amazon.com/AOC-16T20-Portable-1920x1080-Compatible/dp/B0F3MMK1J4) At a quick glance, that's likely a better deal and one that's worth posting. Thanks for prompting me to dig a little deeper!

Agreed on the panel and the stands/case. At this price level they are generally commodity products of similar quality. I was about going to cancel my Costco / MSI order and buy the AOC until I watched the video linked by u/Golden_009 and learned about the tripod mount option on the MSI. I can't unsee that and it's one of those conveniences that's now a requirement. Hopefully the biz trip is somewhere fun.

Depending on how you value the Costco backstop, the AOC monitor below (also posted separately) is a better deal than the MSI. I can't find much 3rd party info on the AOC monitor so may just stick with MSI. If I hadn't already ordered those, I would likely go with the AOC.
