Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Strix XG16AHPE
espresso Display 15 Touch
The ASUS ROG Strix XG16AHPE and the espresso Display 15 Touch are both good portable monitors. If you work on the go, the espresso is more mobile-friendly as it offers a versatile stand, and the touch screen is helpful. Unfortunately, the espresso doesn't have any gaming features, so the ASUS is better if you enjoy gaming on the go because of its higher refresh rate and VRR support. The ASUS also gets brighter and has better reflection handling, which is good for gaming in bright rooms.
