I'd hazard a guess all these Chinese monitors come for the same few sources. I had  KYY 16.1 1080p 60hz that had pretty terrible colors, but my current UPerfect 16.1 1440p 144hz is really good. Bright, decently accurate colors, works as advertised. Think I got the 1440p on sale for ~$130 USD.

The UPerfect monitor is more or less the same, iirc their 16 inch 1440p 144hz one is 6-8ms or something.  With also those chinese brands probably using the same OEM, it's unlikely you'll find a proper 1440p gaming monitor in a small size. There are 1080p options with alright response time ie ASUS ROG Strix 17 inch being like 3ms. But niche and pricey. I have the Uperfect 16 inch mentioned above. Colors are good, and while it's not the ideal monitor for motion it's not a disaster either.

I have one for traveling, 2.5k 16 inch ips with a hole in left bottom corner. Works very well for 2 years already, probably was on for 24/7 in 6 month totally. Sound is crap (expected), max brightness could be better but is ok, powered via same type-c that connects it to computer (but also has another one for additional power if need). Actually I am surprised it working so good for that price, so could recommend. edit: I have UPerfect one

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/)

Make sure to get one that is bright (>400 nits or check reviews). A lot of them are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. My wife and I have been using uperfect's monitors for the past 3 years while digital nomading and have been happy with them. The exact model is no longer available but i'd probably get the 2k uperfect near the top of [this list](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) (ranked by aggregated Reddit reviews, you can see breakdown of comments) when mine breaks. It has 400 nits and I like 2k resolution for making sure my eyes don't get tired reading blurry text.

I'd recommend getting one that is brighter. The one you linked is only 250cdm2 which is pretty low. I would look for something that either has >400 nits or have reviews saying its bright. A lot of portable monitors are unusable in daylight. I wasted money on one before. Unless you're always working in a dark room? FWIW my wife and I have been a digital nomad for 3 years and we've been using monitors from uperfect. We've been pretty happy with them so far. They're thin and bright and light enough to bring around. The exact models are no longer available though. But I recently did an analysis on reddit data on portable monitors, basically ranking them by aggregated sentiment - maybe you'll find the results helpful [https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/](https://redditrecs.com/portable-monitor/) I'm eyeing the 2k uperfect near the top of the list (for when my current one breaks). It has 400 nits and IME 2k resolution is the sweet spot for portable monitors. 2k is crisp enough so my eyes won't get tired reading blurry text. Anything higher is overkill for screens below 20 inches, plus you'll likely need to plug in an extra power cable. Its more expensive though so if you want something cheaper the Z1FC Arzopa at the top is on sale now on amazon i think and is at least 300cdm2 and has reviews saying its bright enough.

I don't think so, I just got a portable monitor from UPERFECT 2K, 144Hz with the case that has a stand feature. The name sounds weird, but the display is fine and works very well. Wasn't very expensive, either. I use it for traveling with my laptop, it just slides in the backpack with laptop in the same compartment. Weight I don't remember exactly, but around 1kg, battery impact I don't know, I always use plugged.
