Best Buy is offering a certified refurbished Acer 15.6-inch 1080p portable USB monitor for $39.99, including free shipping. The monitor comes with a 90-day warranty.
This portable display weighs 1.5 pounds and measures approximately 0.41 inches thin, making it suitable for carrying in a laptop bag or backpack. It features a metal frame and a cover that doubles as a kickstand. The 15.6-inch IPS panel offers a 1080p resolution, a 60Hz refresh rate, a 178-degree viewing angle, and an anti-glare matte surface. A built-in speaker is also included.
Connectivity includes two USB Type-C ports and one mini HDMI port. If a connected laptop, tablet, or handheld gaming PC supports USB Type-C with Power Delivery, a single cable can handle both video and power. Otherwise, a separate USB Type-C cable will be required for power, in addition to the video connection. All necessary cables are provided.
The monitor can function as a secondary display for laptops or as a portable screen for devices like the Nintendo Switch or Steam Deck. For handheld gaming consoles, a two-cable setup is recommended: one USB cable connecting to the handheld and another USB cable to a wall charger for power. The 1080p 60Hz display is particularly well-suited for the Nintendo Switch, which outputs up to 720p at 60Hz. While the Steam Deck and Switch 2 can support higher resolutions and refresh rates, the 1080p 60Hz on this smaller screen offers a balance between visual quality and performance for gaming.
