Big savings on this 16in FHD portable touchscreen display from one of my favorite mini PC makers. It weighs in at a light 1.7lb (about what I expect from a screen this size), and has a mini HDMI and two USB-C ports. The included protective case doubles as a kickstand.

Already budget-priced, this portable display has two Type-C ports and a useful cover stand. You can connect two displays to it thanks to the additional HDMI port and there’s even a 3.5m audio jack and a pair of speakers. Currently cheaper than it was during last year's Black Friday.

With its 1080p anti-glare display and IPS panel, the Asus ZenScreen MB16ACE has pretty much every feature you need from a portable monitor - including a foldable smart case to protect the device. The 5ms response time and 60 Hz refresh rate make it ideal for use as a second computer screen or streaming videos. Brightness hits 250nits, while the 800:1 contrast is low, but it feels like a fair trade for this 15.6in portable monitor with a 3 year warranty.

This portable display features a 15.6in FHD IPS OLED screen, alongside 100% DCI-P3 color space coverage, and 400nits brightness. We really liked this model (see our review here), particularly the 1ms screen latency and some seriously punchy colors.

This is my top budget pick in my portable monitor round-up. In our review, we found this 15.6in FHD display was a good all-rounder with a few flaws that are easily ignored given the asking price. This is a Prime member deal.

Ideal for on-the-go productivity, the ThinkVision M14d is a 14in Full HD screen that features low blue light technology that should help limit eye fatigue. What I especially like about this model is the 99% sRGB color space coverage, increasing color reproduction for those that need it.

For a larger Lenovo portable monitor, the company has discounted its L15 mobile monitor. It's a full HD 15.6in USB-C display with two USB-C ports, low blue light technology, and a slim design that's just 6mm thick (or thin, depending on your point of view). And it's cheaper now than when I checked during last year's Black Friday.

KYY offers a range of portable monitors, all at around the same price, with this model boasting dual USB-C, mini HDMI port, 1080p resolution, eye-care technology, and HDR, all built into the 16:9 display. Color gamut is just 72% NTSC and the 300nits isn’t ideal for outdoor use, but I like the inclusion of the three-in-one smart case, which doubles as a stand for the screen.

Specs-wise, this model is very similar to the other KYY portable monitor deals covered here. That means full HD resolution, USB-C and mini HDMI ports. Luminance is 300nits, and the color gamut is just 72% NTSC. However, I especially like the metal frame of this 15.6in display - which should make it more robust when used on the go.

Similar to the Arzopa S1 Table monitor, this A1M model has a clear 1080p 60Hz display, but at 17.3in, you’ll have much more screen space to use. It also connects via USB-C, or mini HDMI if needed, while the kickstand lets you position it in landscape or portrait orientations. it's also cheaper this year than it was during last year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday event.

This ultra-light and thin portable display is as happy serving as a second screen for your laptop, extending your phone or tablet screen, or being used as a monitor for on-the-go gaming on consoles. The display uses HDR technology to generate a more realistic-looking image, too. Connections include the standard USB-C, as well as a mini HDMI port to extend connectivity to even more devices. Currently cheaper than the previous Black Friday. Prime member price.

While it has the same 1080p display as many others, it has a much higher refresh rate, up to 144Hz, which is better than many pro smartphones and an excellent pick for gaming. It’s also slightly larger, at 16.1”. ARZOPA says it’s good for an Xbox, a PS5, a Switch, a Steam Deck, and those looking for a faster-responding portable display for their laptop.

This affordable mini display is designed for use with the similarly dinky Raspberry Pi. At this price, it's the ideal accompaniment when you're running a lot of Pis across your business or smart home - you can buy one display for them all. This unit includes an HDMI cable for the HDMI port, but you may find yourself needing adapters and other cables. But at this price, it’s cheap enough to justify an extra cable or two.

The Innoview CM608 is a full HD 23.8in portable screen that boasts a 180 degrees adjustable stand - useful for screen-sharing and presenting, or just finding the best position. It's compatible with Windows and Mac, alongside mobile devices and gaming consoles. To the rear, there's a 75mm VESA mount, and I especially appreciate the high (for a portable monitor) refresh rate, which sits at 100Hz. Prime member deal.

I believe this is the only 4K portable monitor of this size, and I absolutely love the design, with its U-shaped adjustable kickstand, which allows the screen to be displayed in portrait mode. The PM608 has a 23.8-inch diagonal IPS display, but despite its size, weighs just 2.2kg and is 8.2mm thick at its thinnest edge. Alongside the two speakers, this display has two Type-C, one HDMI, and one audio out ports. It even features 100% sRGB coverage for a wider color range. Prime deal.

Asus's 23.8-inch full HD display, the Zenscreen MB249C, has a lot going for it beyond the larger screen size. This portable display has a three-year warranty, a partition hook kit (for flexible placement) as well as a C-clamp arm. However, it is weightier than rivals, and has few connectors - although the 60W power delivery is very welcome.

One of the most expensive portable monitor deals in my Black Friday round-up, this Uperfect model boasts two 18.5in full HD IPS displays. You can use one or both, and even connect them to two separate computers to maximize productivity. It features 360-degree rotation, comes with a built-in kickstand, and is currently at its lowest ever price - for Prime members.

Triple the size of your laptop display with a laptop screen extender like the Kefeya. Perfect for those that want extra screen real estate but don’t want to purchase and lug around a pair of monitors. The two 14-inch full HD monitors connect elegantly to your Windows laptop, boosting your productivity instantly, and even come with a storage bag. I like the adjustable hinges and the two speakers that turn it into a true multitasking magician.

One of my top pick portable monitors, the Gen 2 version of Lenovo's M14t screen is a serious upgrade on the original that improves picture quality (see our review here). This model features 2240 x 1400 resolution, 100% sRGB, and 1500:1 contrast ratio. What really appeals to me here is the 4.6mm thickness, making it an ultra-portable productivity tool.

This portable monitor from KYY has been my top choice budget monitor since the team reviewed it (read it here). Sure, there are compromises at this price, but we found it delivered all the core features and for the price, those few flaws (like poor colour accuracy) were easily overlooked.

Ok, this is the cheapest portable monitor I've found on a Black Friday deal. The compact Elecrow 7in display is built for Raspberry Pi machines, but will work with laptops and other devices in HD. The IPS screen is a nice touch, although the 1024x600 resolution isn't up to much - not that you'd need 4K on a screen this size anyway.

This is the one of the cheapest portable monitor deals I've seen yet - and one of the smallest, too. This 7in LCD screen is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi, and boasts HDMI connection for hooking up to a multitude of different Pi machines. Refresh rate is a standard 60Hz, although the resolution is a pretty low 1024x600.

This is one of the cheapest 18.5 inch portable monitors I’ve seen so far. The monitor has 1080p FHD resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a 2000:1 contrast ratio that's about double what you usually get from portable monitors. £30 cheaper right now compared to last year's Black Friday.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday portable monitor deals: Buying advice
When does Black Friday start and when does it end?
Black Friday runs from November 28, and Cyber Monday is December 1. After that, the sale ends.
Although there are plenty of deals to be had in advance, it's there's something you like the look of, these are the days to buy.
Which portable monitor deal should I choose over Black Friday?
Below, you'll find the minimum specs I recommend when choosing a Black Friday portable monitor deal - whether you're using it for streaming and general use, business travel, content creation, or gaming.
Spec | General | Professional | Creator | Gamer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Screen size | 15.6in | 14in - 15.6in | 16in | 16in - 18in |
Resolution | 1920 x 1080 | 1920 x 1080 | 2K - 4K | 2K - 4K |
Color gamut | 100% sRGB | 100% sRGB | 100% DCI-P3 | 100% DCI-P3 |
Refresh rate | 60Hz | 60Hz | 60Hz | 120Hz - 144Hz |
Considerations when choosing
Most budget options are largely similar in size and specs, but here are a few things to check beyond a low price.
Screen size
The most common screen size is 15.6in, but during Black Friday, I tend to see deals on portable monitors ranging from 13in up to 18.5in. Business-focused portable screens offered by the likes of Lenovo and Dell tend to be 14in, which is more convenient for business travel.
Color gamut
Color accuracy isn't especially important for general or business use, when you're using office apps or streaming movies. However, if you're creating content or playing games, it's best to opt for a wider color gamut. 100% sRGB is best for most users, but you'll want to bump that up to 100% DCI-P3 (or at a push 100% AdobeRGB) if you need faithful color reproduction.
Refresh rate
Not really an issue for most users, unless you're playing competitive games, where you'll want faster refresh rates. 120Hz to 144Hz will be ideal here. 360Hz is rare in the field of portable monitors, but is the best and most expensive pick. However, a screen with a 100Hz refresh rate will keep costs down if you're making your money go further.
Touch
Not all portable monitors have touchscreen, and you'll pay extra for this. If this is what you need, I highly rate the Lenovo ThinkVision M14t Gen 2. It's easily the pick of the bunch and I'll be monitoring this in the Black Friday sales.
Ports
Almost uniformly, portable monitors carry a mini HDMI and two USB-C ports, letting you connect the device to a laptop, and games consoles - although you may need a HDMI adapter for this. But for most uses, like streaming and presenting, these should be enough. Extras I always like to see is the 3.5mm audio jack for hooking up headphones.
Battery
Most portable monitors I see don't include a battery - it helps keep costs and weight low. But there are a few out there that do include them if you intend to use it away from a mains outlet. Where available, I'll make a note of this in any deal above.
How can I find the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday portable monitor deals
Here are three recommendations for making sure you get a good deal on a portable monitor this Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
1. Bookmark this page
From now and throughout Black Friday until the end of Cyber Monday, I'll be regularly updating this page with the best deals I can find on portable monitors. Where prices fluctuate, I'll let you know, so you can time it right to get the biggest discounts. I've been covering Black Friday sales events for years now (and I've been bagging bargains for a whole lot longer), so I'll be drawing on that experience, the reviews my team and I have conducted on portable monitors, as well as tools like CamelCamelCamel to make sure the deals here are as good as they seem.
2. Consider and research
Possibly the most important piece of advice I can offer: know what you need before you buy. Portable monitors come in a range of sizes and specs, and not all of them will be right for your use. I've listed the key specs you'll want to check for to make sure the display is the right fit for you. And I also recommend monitoring prices here and setting up alerts to get notified of price drops so you don't miss out.
3. Price vs value
More than any other hardware I cover, portable monitors are a minefield of low-cost devices that wildly vary in performance. For me, cheap doesn't mean best value. I recommend opting for a display from a known brand, preferably one my team and I have reviewed, so you have a good idea what to expect from it. In my experience, budget brands like Arzopa, KYY, AOC, Innocn, and InnoView typically offer good performance for the price. And you can't go wrong with mid-range and premium models from Asus, MSI, Lenovo, and Dell.
