A lot of people will swear that once you’ve tried dual-monitor computing, you never go back. Well, if you’ve ever been dual-monitor-curious, now is a great time to explore that broad new world. The KYY Portable Monitor is on sale for just $76, down from its usual price of $220. At 15.6 inches, it’s as large as most laptop screens and, as its name implies, you can take it dang near anywhere. What’s that you say? You’re a determined monitor monogamist? How ’bout grabbing one for you kids — it makes a fantastic, tote-able video game display.

With a 1080p display, enough ports to connect to nearly any device you can think of, and a 16:9 aspect ratio, this monitor is on par with most TVs.
Why is this a good deal?
Aside from the fact that this makes the workday significantly more pleasant, this is one heck of a discount — well over 60% off. It’s not the absolute lowest price it’s ever been, but it’s pretty darn close. The level of quality also puts it on-par with much higher-end options.
Why do I need this?
This is a useful accessory to keep around if you work on the go. You can always plug into your laptop to double your productivity, and you can even connect your phone to it. Nintendo Switch? No problem. Whatever you need a second screen for, the KYY Portable Monitor can help. It reaches 300 nits brightness — i.e., plenty bright enough for most uses, but it might struggle a little if you use it in direct sunlight.
The modern 16:9 aspect ratio means it’s compatible with almost all outputs, and the 1080p resolution (combined with the 16.7 million display colors) makes this good enough for professional work. It connects to other devices via a USB-C cable, and the monitor even has dual-integrated stereo speakers for a superior audio experience.
If your computer doesn’t have a USB-C port, don’t worry — you can also connect via HDMI and USB-A. If you want to use it without bothering anyone around you, this monitor also has a 3.5mm audio jack to accommodate a pair of headphones.
What reviewers say
More than 5,000 fans have given it a perfect rating, too. “My favorite Amazon purchase of all time,” one fan raved. “I work remotely and initially bought this as a second monitor for easy travel. Since then, this has replaced my work-issued monitor and has lasted for almost 3 years with no issues.”
Another wrote, “This is a powerful little monitor that is portable and easy to set up. It works well with my current setup and has helped tremendously for making sure I can have that additional monitor for productivity. Definitely worth the investment.”
“I love this — so glad I bought it. I’m in meetings all day and need a second monitor when in a conference room. The best part, other than its portability and clarity, is that since I used the USB-C connection, I was able to connect my laptop to the projector and have those two duplicate the screen while having the portable monitor as a third display. It was so friggin awesome, it brought me to tears. The speakers are not great, like others have said, so best to use the audio from the connected device instead,” shared one reviewer.

If you’re tired of missing essential ports, don’t worry — this monitor comes with a headphone jack even if your MacBook doesn’t.
