Hello,

I'm a college student, so I will be flying back and forth. I am working on a sugo sg05 mini-ITX build and would like a monitor that would be able to fit in a carry-on sized rolling suitcase along with my pc and keyboard. I stumbled across the GeChic on-lap 2501M and the AOC E1649Fwu. I know Asus will be coming out with a monitor soon too that is 1080p. My question is, are these kinds of monitors good enough for gaming? I have a different monitor that i'd use for when I'm not traveling. What are your thoughts? Also, I'd consider buying any other monitors, the monitor just has to be portable enough for me take as a carry-on along with my sugo sg05 build.

Thanks for your help!

Seems like anything 17" or under would fit in your criteria.
I've gamed on a 17" monitor before (on a laptop), and the video quality, considering the smaller screen size, the performance is just as well as a 24" monitor.
Why not a gaming laptop?

No gaming laptops b/c I cannot justify the price for the value I'm getting. Gaming laptops are too expensive and cannot be upgraded. Yes, there are things like Lenovo's ultrabay where you can SLI two graphics cards, but they need to be the same graphics cards and Lenovo doesn't have any ultrabay gpu's out yet in the US. I would rather deal with lugging around an sg05 b/c I can build a decent gaming rig for around $1000 and know that I can upgrade everything inside, thus making it future proof. Gaming laptops lose their value too quickly in today's fast-paced tech cycles and then I'd have to buy another gaming laptop in 2-3 years just to keep up.

If there was a modular/fully-upgradeable gaming laptop out there I would be all over it, and I'd be willing to pay top dollar, but there isn't one.

But you're right, I think I'm probably going to have to go with a 17" monitor.
