I am in need of some help. I'm trying to find a good portable monitor for my steamdeck. I don't need it to be huge, 12inches minimum, but I'm not having much luck with my own research. I would like low latency, high refresh rate, and colors as close to the same as on the og LCD deck (which is what I have).

I have the official dock, so it would need to be able to connect through that as well.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not trying to be a dick but I'm genuinely curious why you would want a portable monitor to use with your portable deck?

I do this for LAN parties. Easier to fly with a steam deck and portable monitor than my desktop. I'm not looking to buy a gaming laptop just for LANs.

Sorry for the belated reply.

For the bigger screen and portability. My eyes aren't as good as they used to be. My gaming laptop's fans are dying, and this would be cheaper than a new laptop (sadly, it's also showing it's age and cannot be upgraded further). I use my deck at home 99.99% of the time so it wouldn't be much more to setup a monitor along with it.

I got a Lepow 15.6in monitor on Amazon a good while ago. I've been happy with using it with my Steam Deck. It's USB-C or HDMI. Also needs power from USB-C. I'm sure there's a better solution, but this works for me when I'm traveling.

Thanks for the information! I will give it a look. Sorry for the belated reply.

I took a chance on the ASUS ZenScreen Touch Screen 15.6” 1080P Portable USB (MB16AMT) and I love it! So far after owning it for a little over a year it's held up and works great with my Switch, I see no reason why it wouldn't work with your Steamdeck. Hope this helps!

Man I hope you get a good answer to this because it would be game changing. Ideally USB c and with it's own battery.

Thanks! Whenever I get one and test it, I'll do my best to write up a review here on the community as an update.
