A lot of people swear that once you've tried dual-monitor computing, you never go back. Well, if you've ever been dual-monitor curious, now is a great time to explore that brave new world. The KYY Portable Monitor is on sale for just $70, thanks to an Amazon Lightning Deal, down from its usual price of $88. At 15.6 inches, it's as large as most laptop screens and, as its name implies, you can take it dang near anywhere. What's that you say? You're a determined monitor monogamist? How 'bout grabbing one for your kids or grandkids — it makes a fantastic portable video game display.

With a 1080p display, enough ports to connect to nearly any device you can think of, and a 16:9 aspect ratio, this monitor is on par with most TVs.

Aside from making the workday significantly more pleasant, this compact monitor is up for grabs at one heck of a discount. This is the lowest price it's ever been, and the quality puts it on par with much higher-end options. Be sure to add it to your cart now if you're tempted — it's already going fast.

This sleek sidekick is a useful accessory to keep around if you work on the go. You can always plug into your laptop to double your productivity, or even connect your phone. Nintendo Switch? No problem. Whatever you need a second screen for, the Kyy Portable Monitor can help. It reaches 300 nits brightness — i.e., plenty bright enough for most uses, but it might struggle a little if you use it in direct sunlight.

The modern 16:9 aspect ratio means it's compatible with almost all outputs, and the 1080p resolution (combined with the 16.7 million display colors) makes this good enough for professional work. It connects to other devices via a USB-C cable, and the monitor even has dual integrated stereo speakers for a superior audio experience.

If your computer doesn't have a USB-C port, don't worry — you can also connect via HDMI and USB-A. If you want to use it without bothering anyone around you, this monitor also has a 3.5mm audio jack to accommodate a pair of headphones.

More than 3,300 fans have given this second-screen travel buddy a perfect five stars.

"I'm back in college and am taking classes where I need to see multiple windows at a time while doing homework," said a five-star student. "This fits the bill! Plug and play, and it looks good enough for the price. It comes with all the cables you will need and the magnetic case that doubles as a stand."

"Nintendo Switch works. Match made in heaven," gushed this gamer. "I was looking for something small between 15" to 17" for Nintendo Switch gaming on the go. I will be using this in the semi-truck. I think the sound is great for small- to medium-sized rooms. For me, the graphics and sound suit my needs. This monitor is easier to transport."

"I use it to track runners in ultra marathons outdoors in the sun all day," said another buyer. Runs off a 12-volt battery with very low current draw even at maximum brightness. Folds up in its protective case and takes up little room in my backpack. Also a great way to add a second screen to a laptop and still fit in a backpack."

"My only wish was that all the parts in the packaging were better labeled so I know which cables are for what, since there are so many cables," cautioned a four-star reviewer. "It would've also been nice to have a case for all the cables and a better case for the screen itself."

"I really like this screen, but the stand is really flimsy and easy to knock over. After my first one got knocked to the ground several times by myself bumping into it, or our cats, the mini HDMI port and cable got bent, and now it only works intermittently," remarked a pet parent. "I liked it well enough to buy another one, but I plan to modify the stand on this new one to make it more durable."

If you're tired of missing essential ports, don't worry — this monitor comes with a headphone jack even if your MacBook doesn't.
