Black Friday is still technically a few days away, but that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had. Luckily, if you're in the market for a portable monitor, Amazon is running a fantastic deal on the AOC 16T20. The monitor has a typical selling price of $79.99, but is currently on sale for just $49.99.
So, what does a sub-$50 price tag get you these days? The 16T20 features a 15.6-inch IPS panel with a 1920x1080 (FHD) resolution, 60 Hz refresh rate, 230-nit typical brightness, and a contrast ratio of 800:1. The panel is covered in glossy finish. Keep in mind that the glossy finish might make colors pop a little bit more, but you're bound to see more reflections than you would with an anti-glare coating.
Even more remarkable is that the 16T20 features a mini-HDMI 2.0 port and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode support. This universal port support means that the 16T20 is compatible with a wide range of devices, from PCs and Macs to gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. In addition, there's a headphone jack if you want to keep the tunes to yourself.
Despite the bargain basement price, the 16T20 offers some added touches, like dual 1-watt speakers and an included smart cover (which doubles as a multi-position stand). The monitor is even wall- or stand-mountable thanks to its VESA 75 compatibility. The 16T20 weighs just 1.54 pounds and is 0.38 inches thick, making it easy to slip into a laptop bag.
While we've seen huge price increases in segments like SSDs, memory, and even microSD cards, portable monitors are a category that has been dropping to new lows in the past year. And given the versatility that these easily transportable monitors offer, now's a great time to score an epic deal.
