UPERFECT - 2.5K 240Hz QLED Portable Monitor

For anyone coming back to this post in the future, I ended up getting this: UPERFECT 2.5K 240Hz QLED Portable Monitor, 16" 2560x1600 QHD 100% DCI-P3 400 Nits Portable Gaming Monitor w/Stand & VESA, Adaptive Sync HDMI 2.1 External Screen for Laptop PC Phone Game Console. Highly recommend especially if it goes on sale. The color accuracy and vibrance as well as the sharpness are comparable to my 32 inch 4k oled monitor after some rigorous tuning (though not quite there). Because the screen is small, the pixel density at 2.5k is very high.

I know a lot of people just say to get 1080p monitors, but I recommend a 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 monitor so you can just run games at the Deck's 1280x800 or 1280x720 resolutions and have it scale nicely. For brands, Azorpa and Uperfect seem to get recommended a bit if you're looking on Amazon. I have a 16" Uperfect 2560x1600 and it works great for me. I don't know exactly what you mean by small-ish.

I use UPerfect 16 inches, 2.5K almost two years as the secondary one for my MacBook 14 in. Still love it, even as it has a some glow zones on the top of the screen, not visible at all, especially with the light theme.

I recommend getting one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). Some of them are super dim and basically unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. I'm currently using one from UPERFECT, 400 nits and its pretty decent. FWIW I recently did an analysis on reddit data on portable monitors. Basically ranked them by aggregated sentiment. Maybe you'll find the results helpful [https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/)

I bought a bunch of “ used “ portable monitors from this company on eBay . I paid $30 ish for about this spec and it’s brand new as far as I can tell. Think it’s called upperfect

I recommend the UPEFECT. I use mine for my ROG Ally and Samsung Dex setups.
