The next Prime Day is still about a week in the future, but Amazon’s sending out feelers ahead of the big event with some seriously good pregame bargains. Among the better ones is this $70 steal on the KYY Portable Gaming Monitor, a 15.6-inch full-HD screen that works with virtually any USB-C or mini-HDMI device. This Amazon’s Choice winner dips down to this crazy-low price only very occasionally, including in the days before the last Prime Day event. It sold like crazy that time, so you might want to jump on this one in case supplies run low.
The KYY Portable Gaming Monitor earns its kudos by being crazy thin and portable — about a third of an inch thick and under 2 pounds — and for its nearly universal compatibility. It works with smartphones, tablets, laptops, gaming consoles, handhelds, basically anything with a screen and a USB-C or mini-HDMI connection.
More Than Portable
Even if the KYY monitor wasn’t portable, it would be a strong everyday screen. It’s full HD, with a 1920×1080 IPS resolution that brings out 16.7 million colors in dazzling clarity. It has a matte finish that helps with glare suppression, 300 nits of brightness, and blue-light protection for your eyes. It’s also equally easy to use in landscape or portrait mode.
The screen-protection cover that comes with the KYY Portable Gaming Monitor is also its stand, with adjustable angles for easy setup. Built-in dual stereo speakers give the KYY full-monitor performance, and there’s an audio jack if you need to keep your game or streaming content to yourself.
Works With Everything
The KYY Portable Gaming Monitor is also pure plug-and-play, through the dual USB-C ports and mini-HDMI jack. There’s no extra software or driver required, and the KYY doesn’t even need an external AC hookup, since it’s powered by whatever you connect it to. If you’re looking to extend your laptop or desktop into a two-screen setup, or take your PlayStation, Xbox, or Wii on vacation with you, or give your smartphone, tablet, Nintendo Switch, or Steam Deck a bigger screen, the KYY Portable Gaming Monitor is your go-to $70 deal.
Anyone who’s ever worked in a 2-monitor setup and then been forced to go back down to just one small laptop screen when traveling is going to love the idea of having a high-quality second monitor that slides easily into a backpack or briefcase, especially when it’s just $70 at Amazon. This pre-Prime deal is, of course, a limited-time proposition, so don’t assume it’ll hang around forever.
