With remote and hybrid work the new norm, many of us are really thinking about leveling up our work setups outside the office. Personally, I appreciate portable devices that emulate a more ergonomic format (as opposed to being hunched over a trackpad), and that includes portable monitors like the 16-inch Asus ZenScreen.

This 16-inch portable monitor adds another desktop to your computer while working remotely, and works in both a landscape or portrait orientation. It's thin and light enough to feel more like a tablet than a monitor, and comes with a smart case so it can easily be propped up.

Right now, the Asus ZenScreen is on sale during Amazon Prime Day for just $170, which is 26% off the total price. This is a very competitive price, as Asus is a leading manufacturer in this space, making devices with awesome displays on all ends of the spectrum like the ProArt P16 and the Zenbook A14 -- the latter, which earned our Editor's Choice pick.

The monitor features a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and a 16:9 ratio, so it looks a lot like a standard display you'd find on any 16-inch laptop. Connecting couldn't be easier: just plug into your device via the USB-C port and you're good to go.

The monitor also derives its power from the laptop its connected to, so keep that mind if you're working on battery, as it'll draw a bit more than usual.
