As powerful as your gaming console or PC might be, and as highly detailed as the games you're playing on it look, none of that matters if you don't have a display that can properly show it off.

The impressive, but pricey device felt like it fell under the radar before it even came out, getting outclassed by portable PCs like the Steam Deck and Legion Go. After all, why spend hundreds of dollars on something your phone can already do?
