I have several portable monitors and I'd prefer they have the stand like this one does.
But what I'd really recommend is looking at your needs. If you're not intending to move the monitor (e.g., take it with you), you'll likely be more satisfied with a non-portable monitor that will be larger at a comparable price. 15.6" is the size of a laptop screen. You'll have less eye strain with a physically larger screen.
The most routine use for one of my portable monitors is as a video screen for passengers in my vehicle. Cell phone hotspot + FireTV stick + Portable monitor = entertainment that can be powered via USB. This Acer screen has an HDMI input which means it could do the same. It also has a 3.5mm jack for headphones.
Edit: trying to improve readability
If you look on Amazon, there are no-name brands selling models with identical specs in the $50 range. Some even have better specs.
Anyway, you can find similar generic monitors for around $50 on Amazon if you want to save a little money and don't care about the Acer brand name or Costco's return policy.

Alas, the contrast is really, really low. The brightness is also very dim. I saw it a few times in person and just couldn't buy this gray mess.

I was able to return a monitor after 11 months due to a flickering issue, so you should still be able to return this even if it's past the 90-day mark.
What's FHD
1080p and apparently a trigger word for downvotes
As opposed to HD which is high definition (with respect to how standard definition was 480 lines). HD is 1280x720.
4k is FHD times 2 in both dimensions, so 3840 by 2160

I got uperfect 4k for 120 on eBay but it's 60hz as most of the 4k line below $200
