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.

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.

Save 24%

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
