It’s no surprise why USB portable monitors are becoming so popular. They provide extra screen real estate for laptop users and they’re much slimmer and lighter than your average monitor so you can carry them around. Many newer laptops now have USB ports that can power the monitor so that you don’t even need to plug it into an outlet. Talk about convenience!
For a limited time Amazon is offering the Anyuse 15.6″ USB Portable Monitor for $39.99 with free shipping and no Prime membership required. It’s sold by a marketplace vendor but it’s ships from Amazon (and customer service is handled by Amazon). This was actually our best selling portable USB monitor during the Amazon Spring Sale. In addition to boosting productivity on a laptop, the monitor also works as a totable display for your Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch.

The Anyuse is a 15.6″ monitor that’s designed to be portable. It weighs just under 1.4 pounds and measures 0.4″ thin. It sports a sturdy metal frame and includes a smart cover that has a built-in kickstand. The 15.6″ display features a 1080p resolution (141ppi) with 60Hz refresh rate, an IPS panel with 100% sRGB color gamut, wide great viewing angles, and an anti-glare matte surface. It even has built in speakers for the times you need audio in a pinch.
Connectivity options include two USB Type-C ports and one mini HDMI port to connect to a laptop, tablet, or handheld gaming PC for use as a main or secondary display. If your device is equipped with a USB Type-C output with Power Delivery, then a single cable can be used for both video and power. Otherwise, you’ll need two cables: a mini HDMI or USB Type-C cable for video and a second USB Type-C cable to a wall charger for power.
Compatible with Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck
This monitor works quite well paired with a gaming handheld like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. You will have to use the two-cable setup (one USB cable to the handheld, one USB cable to a wall charger) for this to work properly. The 1080p 60Hz panel best complements the Nintendo Switch, since the Switch only supports up to 720p @ 60Hz anyway. The Steam Deck and Switch 2 can support higher resolutions and refresh rates, but at that point you’re really taxing your system, and 1080p/60Hz on a smaller display is an ideal balance between visual fidelity and playable framerates.
