ASUS ROG Strix 17.3" 1080P Portable Gaming Monitor (XG17AHP)-FHD, IPS, 240Hz, Adaptive-Sync, Built-in Battery, ROG Bag, Tripod Stand, USB Type-C, Micro HDMI for Laptop, PC, Console, 3-Year Warranty

I've had the ROG XG17 for a couple of years now and it's served me exceptionally well. I used in in junction with a Velka 3 3-4 times a week for two years as my portable setup I would take with me. Never had an issue with it. I'm sure there are serviceable alternatives that are likely significantly cheaper, but I would heavily recommend the XG17.

Pixel density on a 17" 1080p monitor is greater than a 27" 1440p monitor. To me it's more than sufficient. It's a good monitor for gaming, low input latency and 240Hz.

I've had an Asus ROG Strix XG17AHP for over a year now, killer portable gaming monitor, especially for esports titles. It's a 17" 1080p 240Hz IPS panel and for viewing angle the tripod stand kicks the shit out of the folding cover stands that most portable monitors come with. It is expensive, but I spend a lot of time on travel for work and am glad that I bought it.

I travel a lot for work and use a Asus ROG Strix XG17AHP while away from home. It comes with a nice stand, but I use a magnetic mount for it and mount it to my case. For my keyboard I use a Corsair K70 Pro Mini Wireless. [You can see it here.](https://imgur.com/a/MaCyMyM)

I have the Asus XG17, a 15” gstory, and a no name 13” portable monitor. I now use the XReal airs more than any of them (outside work). They are cheaper, smaller, and support 120hz refresh rate now. I still like the others, but throwing a k39 and these glasses in a small backpack is pretty fun.

**TL;DR: I'm looking for the biggest USB-C portable monitor I can find. >17 inches? The review sites are out-of-date, do you know if something like this exists?** I've been digging around for portable monitors. Here's the criteria I want: * Absolutely nothing below FHD/1080p, but I'd prefer at least 2k/1440p * USB-C video and power (no second cable for power!) * 60 hz * Good image quality and color (probably an IPS panel) * Big (19-24") * <5 lbs * Would be nice: eye height stand instead of reclining on the desk * Would be nice: no speakers/no headphone jack I work with game engines that don't tend to do well with UI scaling, and have lots of small text, so I'm willing to make some sacrifices in the luggage department to maximize screen size. 15 inches isn't really cutting it. I bought a Magedok M173A, which on paper is everything I want (17", 120hz, 2k), but the panel quality is just absolute trash, terrible color, limited contrast. I'm pretty unhappy with it, but... I guess it's still the best contender? So then I bought an MSI Optix MAG161v. This monitor looks pretty great (though not as great as my spectacular MSI Stealth Thin laptop monitor), and is super lightweight, and has all the finer touches I expect from MSI. And something I didn't appreciate right away is that it fits inside my laptop bag. Buuuuut 1080p at 15 inches, and it's not really doing the job I'm hoping it would do as far as screen real estate. My laptop monitor is elevated better, which makes it superior to the MSI Optix MAG161v reclining on the desk. So it's not so much an improvement, as an addition... not really happy with that. A while back I also pre-ordered a ASUS ROG Strix XG17AHPE. 17 inches, 240 hz, 1080p. I suspect the image quality is going to be great, but I haven't seen it yet BECAUSE THEY DELAYED THE RELEASE. Ugh! I think this could replace the Magedok as leading contender, but will it ever come out? Despite hours and hours of research and buying, I still had not heard of the Asus ProArt PQ22UC, which is apparently my monitor El Dorado... by which I mean this monitor must be literally made of gold because it costs $3,885. It's everything I want, 21", 4k, 61hz, great image quality, and an eye level stand! But really? A $4k piece of equipment in my checked baggage? Somehow after all this reading and research I had missed the one monitor that was actually what I want, so maybe there's another monitor that competes with the Asus ProArt PQ22UC for a somewhat less insane price? **Does anyone know if there's a sub-$2000 19-24" portable monitor out there that I haven't found yet?** EDIT: The Magedok M173A died within the first month so I returned it. EDIT: The MSI Optix MAG161v stand melted because it saw the sun through a window on a cloudy day and it doesn't stand right anymore, pretty disappointed. EDIT: I eventually got my ASUS ROG Strix XG17, and I'm pretty happy with it. Wish it was 1440p though.

Yeah I also have an ITX build so adding internal PCI-E card is not an option. I think RTX 20 series actually have better support because they have usb-c output. I paid top dollar for XG17 and I have it for a few months now, never used adaptive sync for once.

I currently own asus xg17ahp. I travel between homes quite often and i like my monitor with me everywhere i go. Yes i know its not cheap but 17 inch monitor and 240hz coupled with the portability, great colours? It works great for me!

It does make a difference for me, i'd say it is smoother to game when i am on my asus xg17ahp. Somehow i also feel the input lag is lower? That said, i also own samsung 144hz (cant remember the model) and it's not a big of a jump from 60 hz --> 144 hz

Ah sorry, i meant a jump 144hz --> 240hz is not as noticeable as going from 60hz --> 144 hz. In fast paced games i could definitely tell the difference between 240hz and 144hz. I'm no expert though, this is just my personal experience. YMMV

>Is there a specific type of micro HDMI to HDMI cord required for this to work (I don't have the original one anymore)? The DisplayPort works; just not the HDMI. Hi no response from Asus BUT after trial & error, I only found one cable that seems to work OR you can look at the specs of this cable & reverse engineer what specifications a HDMI cable requires for it to work: [https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/belkin-essential-high-speed-hdmi-cable-with-micro-adapter-4k-2m?ab\_version=B&gclid=CjwKCAjwtp2bBhAGEiwAOZZTuOUF\_wFD4lffFJc44YJnpz5tIYfSClqTc8RqsV6sr72nm8z7FRduJhoCrvAQAvD\_BwE](https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/belkin-essential-high-speed-hdmi-cable-with-micro-adapter-4k-2m?ab_version=B&gclid=CjwKCAjwtp2bBhAGEiwAOZZTuOUF_wFD4lffFJc44YJnpz5tIYfSClqTc8RqsV6sr72nm8z7FRduJhoCrvAQAvD_BwE) &#x200B; This is a link from a store in Australia but hopefully you can find the equivalent wherever you are based. My issue with the belkin is that it breaks too easily so best buying two & keep one as backup.

Hi I have the ROG Strix XG17 portable monitor. Micro HDMI does not work. I've tried two different micro HDMI to HDMI cords but still no luck. I don't have the original one anymore. When I plug in the micro HDMI cord, the screen shows the startup ROG logo, shows the power left in the battery then turns off automatically. Is there a specific type of micro HDMI to HDMI cord required for this to work (I don't have the original one anymore)? The DisplayPort works; just not the HDMI.

I spent ages trying to make this same decision. Pretty much immediately, I ruled out anything without 144hz which narrowed down the field \*alot\*. I ended up getting the Rog Strix 17" which does not do passthru and is costly but is an amazing portable with exceptional colour accuracy. I use it all the time with a dock, Keychron bluetooth keyboard and Razer mouse.
