Black Friday is still technically a few days away, but that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had. Luckily, if you're in the market for a portable monitor, Amazon is running a fantastic deal on the AOC 16T20. The monitor has a typical selling price of $79.99, but is currently on sale for just $49.99.

The AOC 16T20 offers a 15.6-inch IPS panel, a 1080p resolution, two USB-C ports, one mini-HDMI port, dual speakers, and a smart cover for transporting.

Even more remarkable is that the 16T20 features a mini-HDMI 2.0 port and two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alt Mode support. This universal port support means that the 16T20 is compatible with a wide range of devices, from PCs and Macs to gaming consoles like the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. In addition, there's a headphone jack if you want to keep the tunes to yourself.

Despite the bargain basement price, the 16T20 offers some added touches, like dual 1-watt speakers and an included smart cover (which doubles as a multi-position stand). The monitor is even wall- or stand-mountable thanks to its VESA 75 compatibility. The 16T20 weighs just 1.54 pounds and is 0.38 inches thick, making it easy to slip into a laptop bag.

While we've seen huge price increases in segments like SSDs, memory, and even microSD cards, portable monitors are a category that has been dropping to new lows in the past year. And given the versatility that these easily transportable monitors offer, now's a great time to score an epic deal.
