A 27% discount on a portable 1080p monitor is the kind of deal that's easy to sleep on and regret later. The Anyuse 15.6" USB-C Portable Monitor has dropped to $43.99 during Amazon's Spring Sale, down from its regular price of $59.99, and it's available to both Prime and non-Prime members with free delivery.
What you're actually getting for $44
The Anyuse is a 15.6-inch IPS panel running 1080p resolution at 60Hz, with a pixel density of 141ppi and 100% sRGB color coverage. The anti-glare matte surface is a practical touch for anyone using it in bright environments, and the built-in speakers mean you're not completely dead in the water if you need audio without headphones.
Connectivity covers two USB Type-C ports and one mini HDMI port. If your laptop or device supports USB-C with Power Delivery, a single cable handles both video and power. Otherwise, you'll need two cables: one for video (mini HDMI or USB-C) and a second USB-C cable to a wall charger. The package includes a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter and a USB-C charging cable, so you're not hunting for adapters out of the box.
At under 1.4 pounds and just 0.4 inches thin, the monitor is genuinely portable. The included smart cover doubles as a kickstand, so setup on a desk or table takes about ten seconds.
The handheld gaming angle
Here's the thing: this monitor makes a lot of sense paired with a Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, or Steam Deck. The two-cable setup is required for handhelds (one USB cable to the device, one to a wall charger), but once connected, the 1080p 60Hz panel is a strong match for these systems.
The original Nintendo Switch caps out at 720p at 60Hz in docked mode, so the Anyuse's 1080p panel is more than capable of handling everything the Switch can throw at it. The Steam Deck and Switch 2 can push higher resolutions, but running either at 1080p on a sub-16-inch screen is a reasonable trade-off between performance and visual quality. You're not losing much, and you're gaining a proper external display without lugging around a full-size monitor.
Steam Deck on external display
For context on how this compares to other options currently on sale, the ASUS ZenScreen MB169CK is also discounted to $79 (down from $109) and the MSI Pro MP165 E6 sits at $65 (down from $95). Both are solid monitors, but neither comes close to $44. If the budget is the priority, the Anyuse is the clear pick at this price point.
How long this deal lasts
Amazon's Spring Sale is a limited-time event, and deals like this tend to disappear without warning. According to IGN's deal coverage, the discount applies to all shoppers regardless of Prime membership status, which removes the usual barrier.

This deal is tied to the Amazon Spring Sale window. Once the sale ends, the price is expected to return to $59.99. Stock at sale pricing can also run out before the event officially closes.
For gamers already running a handheld setup or anyone working from a laptop who wants a second screen without spending $100+, the Anyuse at $43.99 is a straightforward value proposition.
