Brightness (avg, measured): 318 nits · sRGB coverage: 103.6% · DCI-P3 coverage: 73.4% · Battery life at 144 Hz (max brightness): ~3 h · Battery life at 60 Hz (max brightness): up to 3.5 h

The Asus ROG XG16AHPE is a well-built portable gaming monitor with a built-in battery, 144Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync support.

it doesn't provide a very wide range of tilting angles to find an optimum viewing that suits your personal preference.

All of this functionality comes with a $399 price tag, which puts the XG16AHPE into a higher tier for portable monitors.

This 15.6-inch portable monitor is the best we've seen in its size class and category for gaming purposes just as long as you're ready to drop $400 for it.

the buttons along the top are way too spongy and with unsatisfying feedback when pressed.

it's severe enough on our unit that it's noticeable when gaming or watching movies.
