Is the XG16AHP good for competitive gaming?

144 Hz and 3 ms response are fine for casual and mid-level play. Serious esports players usually want a faster, larger desktop monitor.

Can I use it with a Nintendo Switch?

Yes. The Switch connects over Micro HDMI, and the built-in battery means you do not need a wall outlet.

Does it work with a phone?

Phones with USB-C video output can drive it with a single cable. Check that your phone supports DisplayPort over USB-C.

How long does the battery last?

ASUS rates it for roughly a few hours of gaming per charge, less at 144 Hz. Expect shorter runs at maximum refresh rate.

Does it have speakers?

Yes, it has built-in speakers, so you get sound without extra gear. They are basic and fine for casual use.

Is it worth it over a cheaper portable monitor?

You pay for 144 Hz, a battery and ROG build quality. If you only need a static second screen, a basic portable monitor does the job for less.

Our take on the ASUS ROG Strix XG16AHP Monitor LED

The ROG Strix XG16AHP is a 15.6-inch 1080p portable gaming monitor with an IPS panel running at 144 Hz. It has a built-in battery and kickstand, so it works as a second screen for a laptop or console without a wall outlet. Micro HDMI and USB-C inputs cover phones, laptops and consoles. Its main rivals are portable 144 Hz panels from other gaming brands; this one stands out for the battery and the ROG feature set rather than picture quality, since 300 cd/m² brightness and an 800:1 contrast ratio are modest for an IPS screen.
