I've tested a number of portable monitors and for the price, the NexiGo NG16UFG has been overall the best one by far, with only one caveat that may or may not break the purchase- to get full power (brightness, volume, and refresh rate), this monitor must be plugged into its own power adapter.
Using a USB-C connection is very much a 'your mileage may vary' type of situation. On a gaming laptop I used, I was able to get enough power via just a USB-C connection, but when I hooked it up to a much lower-spec laptop that I use for work, it wouldn't function correctly until I plugged it into an outlet.
When using USB-C only, maxmimum brightness can't go over 50%, the refresh rate won't go higher than 120hz, and the sound needs to be off (possibly might work on a low setting, but when I tested it didn't seem to work with speakers on), otherwise the monitor will not be able to handle the power and will stop working.
That said, even at 50% brightness, this monitor is excellent, and when plugged in, it's easily the best portable monitor I have ever tried. The brightness at higher levels is insane, colors pop off the screen (particularly with the movie setting selected), ghosting is not noticeable, and the speakers, while nothing special, are decent and that alone makes them better than most other portable monitors.
This monitor also comes with both a built-in kickstand (note that it will only work for landscape orientation) and a folio cover/stand, headphone jack, a full-size HDMI port (which seems to be rare on portable monitors), and solid menu buttons with no cheap dials that might break later on. (Note that to exit menu selections, you just need to hold down the volume down button for a second or two.)
If you're not bothered by the limitations with USB-C power or plan to use this monitor plugged in, I highly recommend it. I have not come across any other portable monitors in this price range with screen quality this good.

Excellent portable monitor, but serious quality control issues
This monitor does a lot of things right. It's thin, it's lightweight, it's great for portable gaming. However, I'm on my third one and I have yet to see a flawless one. Beware of quality control issues and prepare to live with some form of defect, because I've returned two of them and each new one that shows up at my doorstep has a different flaw. That said, I tried a competing monitor after the second flawed unit and it was a much worse experience. Gaming on this monitor is awesome if you ignore the flaws. Freesync works perfectly and the 2560x1600 16:10 resolution is great.Pros:* Excellent picture quality - the picture is bright, viewing angles are good, colors pop, and there is no noticeable ghosting with fast 144Hz motion in gaming. I didn't notice any significant backlight uniformity issues/bleed on the 3 units I had in my possession. Matte finish means no glare even in a brightly lit room.* Nice built-in stand. I tried a similar display from a different brand, but it had a folio case that doubled as the stand. The stand on this monitor is solid and is integrated into the back of the monitor, no dealing with fiddly folio cases.* Good set of inputs. USB-C (DisplayPort) and full size HDMI. You don't need an adapter to connect to an HDMI device like most other portable displays that use mini-HDMI or micro-HDMI. It works with a bidirectional DisplayPort to USB-C cable to connect to a desktop PC as well. Freesync over DisplayPort to USB-C works as intended at 144Hz, as does HDR. Can be powered off of a USB port on a desktop PC, so you can use it with your desktop without any extra AC power supply. Can be powered and driven off of a single USB-C port from a compatible port such as a laptop or handheld.* Built in speakers work well enough for gaming on the go, also there is a headphone jack if you want to redirect the audio elsewhere.* USB-A port for connecting external USB devices. I tested this with my Steam Deck. Deck plugged directly into monitor, monitor also plugged into a USB-C PD power supply, then plugged a wired controller into the USB-A port and was able to control the game just fine. However, the port appears to only be USB-2.0 speeds rather than the USB-3.0 that it seems to be by using a blue USB-3.0 connector. With a USB gigabit Ethernet adapter, could only get around 300mbps or so rather than the 700-900 that I expected.* Includes two USB-C cables (that support video mode), one USB-A to USB-C cable (for power), and one HDMI cable.* Includes folio style cover for protecting the monitor in your bag.Cons* Quality control issues galore. The first unit I received had a stuck (always lit on black screen) pixel in the top right corner and then developed a dead/stuck pixel (either black or sometimes bright green on any background) on the taskbar area at the bottom left of the screen. I then ordered a second one. This one had a stuck (always lit on black screen) pixel in the middle right of the screen. I returned that one. I have just received my third and it too has a pixel defect in the middle left of the screen but only visible on dark backgrounds. I then noticed that this third unit also has a slight scratch at the top left of the screen after I tried wiping it off with cleaning solution and discovered it wasn't just something that could wipe away. I don't really want to keep returning these to Amazon and risking getting my account shut down, so I will probably keep this third one, but seriously NexiGo, you make an amazing product but the QC is awful here. 3 out of 3 had some form of defect. Not acceptable.* The USB port is only USB 2.0, not 3.0 as the connector would indicate* The second USB-C port cannot be used for a USB dock/hub. I tried connecting my Steam Deck dock to the second USB-C port with the first connected directly to the Deck. This means the only way to use the monitor AND get USB-3.0 accessory support with a handheld PC that only has one USB-C port is to use a dock with HDMI/DisplayPort and connect to the monitor that way rather than directly over USB-C.

Just started using this portable $300 monitor and noticing backlight bleeding when nothing is shared on this screen. Seller asked for the picture so they can replace it but never heard back from them.

Fa il suo lavoro alla perfezione, molto meglio delle mie aspettative.
Lo uso con un Mac mini M2, basta avere un cavo e collegarlo, basta, fatto.
Lo schermo pensavo fosse piccolo, invece é piú grande dei PC portatili, ci programmo veramente comodamente, affiancato ad un altro schermo principale é super comodo.
Non mi sembra si scaldi troppo neanche, non ci gioco, solo applicazioni o video.
Una bella marca cinese.

Comes well packaged, I mention this because in the past I have had broken monitors, this is far more superior.
I also really like the hardened cover to slip the monitor into, even comes with a plug ( wall charger) as well as all the separate leads.
Even has the reverse charging function. The portable monitor full function USB port type C port only, just connect your device to the display screen then power the display using the wall charger
The device compatibility is good and can be used for an array of devices, to include mobile phones, iPad Pro, laptops with PD protocol.
The input voltage 5V - 20V
Input electric current 1A - 4A.
All the instructions are within the box, also a colour chart to show the vivid colours, please see my images.
Great for gaming, and would make a lovely gift for Christmas, birthdays etc.
However……..
If you are not into gaming, but want a monitor because for example you haven’t a separate TV in the bedroom, or spare room, going on holidays etc. The monitor is fantastic to watch TV. Once plugged in, I put in my fire stick and brought up you tube, even a TV programme via the stick.
So if you have a stick for Now TV, fire stick or a NVIDIA shield, all will work..
I have shown a little video of some of the colours and the images on the monitor, however please remember if will be better in person as opposed to me recording.
Can connect to mobile phones etc
Very fast speeds
Instructions….
Open the OSD menu by pressing the menu - power button
Highlight the selected feature by pressing the volume +/volume - button
Open the selected menu section by pressing the OSD menu/power button
Press and hold the volume -/ input source button to back out.
The volume is very good too.
10 Bit, HDR, dual speakers, HDMI, usb - C, PC/P55/ Xbox/switch, built in kickstand with hard cover. The kickstand is very small.
Current price at review £229.99
So pleased with this, remarkable.
⭐️Thank you to the seller
⭐️I hope my review helps you.
