@Agramonte thanks for the fire emblem recommendation. I'll keep an eye out if I come across a good deal. I got astral, octopath, and Rabbids all when they dropped to a great price.
Back to the monitor, I did get it and try it out and while it definitely got the job done, the colors were really washed out and I wasn't feeling the sound too much. It's def not bad for a $100ish though.
I did place an order today for the Genki shadowcast which connects a switch to a laptop (mentioned it earlier, here it is again: https://gizmodo.com/turn-your-laptop-into-a-larger-portable-screen-for-your-1845928444) . I'm hoping that works well. It's just a Kickstarter so have to wait until April and hope there are no delays. If that works good, I'll just sell this portable monitor.
@Agramonte the monitor just arrived today. I'll see how it is tonight. In addition, the price apparently has dropped down to $106. I tried to get Amazon to price match but they wouldn't, so I. just placed a new order and will return the old one.
@Agramonte thanks for all the info. I just placed the order for it. Hoping the price drops soon to something like your level. I'll keep the USB-C that comes with it too on me like you suggested. I'll put the screen protector on too like you suggested.
That seems like my ideal product but seems a while until it's out.
Also, O/T but what's Fire Emblem like? I just grabbed several switch games over the past few weeks (Astral Chain, Mario+Rabbids, Octopath Traveler) but I'll add it to the queue for after.
@Agramonte where did you get it at that price? On amazon it was $129 on the day I checked your link and same price today. if you got it at that price from Amazon, I really don't feel like waiting anymore, so I may just buy it and if the price drops in the near future, do a price adjustment if possible, otherwise a buy and return.
So that's out. so, if I want to only spend around a hundred bucks on this, it seems like your option is the best. I recheck the pricing on all of the models that were reviewed by @damo and everything is still around the same price. Only yours is significantly less.
@Agramonte that option for $129 seems great. This original post had options starting at $180 which was more than I want to spend, but $129 isn't too bad.
I'm debating on getting a portable monitor or getting an elgato to use with my 16" macbook pro. And then instead of recording, I'd just watch on the MBP screen using that as a monitor. That solves the problem of having to worry about power for the screen if my macbook is already charged too.
I could also use the elgato to get some SF3 and SFIV fights off my PS3 and onto youtube like I've been wanting but been unable to since the upload functionality on those PS3 games is broken now.

I really do like the idea of somehow using my MBP screen with the switch but the idea I shared of using the elgato wasnt recommended from @damo ( https://twitter.com/DamienMcFerran/status/1337686652429406208?s=20 ).
