This $50 USB-C monitor from AOC is perfect for holiday travel
I have three monitors on my main desktop. And also my main gaming desk. It’s the same office, don’t tell my boss. But they make me feel a little paralyzed when I have to use a laptop. The solution is a portable USB-C monitor, which allows me to bring multi-monitor productivity anywhere. Today, Amazon is offering a rare sale on a name-brand monitor, with an AOC model going for just $49.99.
That 15.6-inch 1080p display isn’t anything to write home about, but that extra space for a second desk is fantastic for Slack chats, YouTube videos, or a cheeky game of Hearthstone while you do your main “work” on your laptop. And as someone who has to work with images all day, I appreciate the IPS screen, which offers better color accuracy than cheaper VA panels.
The monitor comes with a case that doubles as a kickstand, and two USB-C ports mean you’ll be able to plug a charger into the display and pass power to your laptop, which is ideal in a very tight hotel room.
$80 is already pretty fair for a portable monitor, but at $50 it costs about the same as white label displays. If you want even more monitor deals, from small portable packages to gigantic gaming ultrawides, check out PCWorld’s Black Friday monitor deals roundup.
