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.

If you look on Amazon, there are no-name brands selling models with identical specs in the $50 range. Some even have better specs.
All of the competing products have too low metrics and will get pulled by mods.
Just search "portable monitor". They're all based on only a handful of displays, so the only differences are price and warranty.

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.

I thought Costco didn't allow electronics returns beyond 90 days? Or is that for more expensive things like gaming pcs, laptops, or TV?

You need to up your game. Quest 3 with sideloaded apps + mudi router = Portable entertainment with privacy. Some people think you can't see them, but you can watch movies while walk around.
This is not a good deal
