"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enif you're someone who travels a lot for work or maybe you're a student living in a tiny Sardine Can of a dorm but you still want to take your Xbox with you then maybe an attachable monitor might make your life a little easier this is up spec Gaming's X screen monitor for the Xbox series s and this is depth G's portable gaming monitor also for the Xbox series s they're monitors that connect to the game console so that you can carry around the device and play games when you're not at home these displays are excellent for any situation where you wouldn't be able to use a TV I'm someone who's used to carrying around game consoles when I travel and it sucks having to find a TV to use sometimes so these attachable monitors have been a total game changer the Xbox series s is the perfect current gen console to travel with due to its tiny footprint so let's find out which monitor pairs best for your portable gaming needs I reviewed the X screen earlier this year and I'll drop a link to that one somewhere on the screen right now if you want more specific details about that one I recently got sent this dep G monitor so I thought I would put them head to head and find out which one makes for a better purchasing decision I'll leave time codes and chapters down below so you can jump around and find out specific information about their various features foreign is an 11.6 inch 1080p screen that can output 60 hertz up spec gaming States on their website that the screen does not support HDR since that would be too great of a power draw for them to attain with this small of a form factor but that tiny footprint allows the X screen to sit flush against the series s when folded down it connects to the back of the console sticking out about an inch and a half from the Xbox depth G's monitor is a bit larger at 12.5 inches it's also 1080p at 60 hertz but it does support HDR in order to get this additional size the display has attached side panels making the overall footprint of the console about an inch wider it's also larger in the back taking up two and a quarter inches in space depth G's monitor is larger more powerful and you pay for that in portability on its own the series s weighs 4.25 pounds and both the screens are around one and a half pounds by themselves foreign plugs into the HDMI and one of the USB ports on the back of the Xbox you then screw in the two included latches on each side to lock the monitor in place due to its design the X screen does block access to the ethernet port and the other USB port on the back luckily you do still have the front USB port to use the storage expansion Port is also accessible the depth G's monitor also sits at the back of the console but doesn't plug in at all using the included screwdriver it screws into place by use of this additional panel that mounts along the side every port on the back of the Xbox will be accessible but you will need to use the HDMI port to connect to the display the dep G monitor also includes a second HDMI port in case you wanted to plug something else into the device at the same time I can't think of a great reason for this but if you can let me know in the comments it also has two headphone jacks on the back another feature you won't really need since the standard Xbox controller has a headphone jack on the bottom even though the X screen blocks a few of the ports you might need I haven't run into actually needing them so far since the Xbox supports Wi-Fi the ethernet port isn't an issue and the front USB port has been enough for me the X screen is also easier to connect to the console since it doesn't require a screwdriver if you have one of these displays you probably won't be disconnecting and reconnecting it from the Xbox that frequently but regardless from start to finish setting up the X screen is a quicker experience foreign regardless of which monitor you pick both of them still need to be plugged in each monitor doesn't have a built-in battery to power the console but keep in mind that having to plug this into the wall is still a great deal more portable than carrying around a TV that you need to power and plug an HDMI cord into in terms of your cord management the X screen only needs to use the Xbox's power cord to power the full unit although this is ideal the X screen isn't powerful enough to include HDR in the display something the depth G monitor does have as for depth G's you need to plug the console into Power then you need to plug in a tiny included HDMI cable from the console to the monitor followed by powering the monitor with another cord that plugs in via USB it's worth noting that the depth G monitor does include a USB plug for you to use but you can just use one of the Xbox's three USB ports to make things more compact with all this you're looking at three cables to power the depth G monitor which is the same as if you were plugging this into a TV at least it's lighter since portability is the name of the game the x-screen wins this category having to plug in two cables to the wall as a drag and needing to also remember to bring the USB adapter with you is just another thing to carry let alone the three chords foreign gaming also has a few accessories on sale to go with the x-screen most importantly they sell a carrying case that fits the screen the console the cable and a controller in it using the case does make the package a little bulkier to carry around but if you're putting this in a piece of luggage then it shouldn't be an issue this case costs around 50 to 60 dollars def G doesn't have any additional accessories to pair with their monitor I wouldn't worry too much about putting this in a case though since both monitors are fairly sturdy on their own it's just a nice to have for peace of mind and just a quick note no the depth G monitor will not fit in the X screen case if you are hoping to mix and match thank you this is probably the biggest difference between these two monitors and probably one of the main factors you'll be using when it comes time to make a buying decision it's worth noting that the Xbox series s retails for three hundred dollars but can often be found on sale for closer to 250. the X screen also retails for 250. so you're doubling the price of the console in order to use this peripheral at the time of this recording the X screen is actually on sale for two hundred dollars and every accessory they offer is also discounted right now depth G's monitor retails for three hundred dollars which is more than what you probably pay for the console however while making this video I've seen the price drop to as low as 260 so keep an eye out for discounts so the X screen is obviously Cheaper by 50 to 60 bucks and that's pretty much the price of a new game or a few months of Xbox game pass but I'm also someone who really appreciates hdr on my main living room TV personally I'm fine saving the money and missing out on a couple display features since this isn't my main gaming display when it comes to picking which display you're going to travel with best I feel like the X screen wins pretty easily the only real shortcomings up spec has compared to depth G is that the screen is smaller and doesn't support HDR depg does have the better display visually but these products are geared towards ease of use and portability and the X screen wins in every one of those categories it has a smaller form factor so it can fit into more types of bags or luggage it requires less cable so getting it set up and gaming is a quicker and smoother experience and the option to buy the additional carrying case is a nice bonus most importantly it's significantly cheaper both of these are premium priced accessories but I'm still looking to save money where I can the X screen is easily the better monitor if you're looking to take your Xbox series s on the go but I want to hear from you do either of these seem like something that you would use to Game On The Go or would you prefer to just leave the consoles behind and stick with a switch or steam deck let me know in the comments and
