The Surface Go 3 is Microsoft's latest affordable tablet, and it's an important part of Microsoft's Surface family. While it may not be as exciting as the Surface Pro 8 or Laptop Studio, it's important to have a solid entry-level offering. The Surface Go 3 offers an all-around solid experience at an affordable price, and now it's noticeably more powerful than its predecessor. However, it's relatively small, so if you want a second screen -- or simply a bigger one -- we've rounded up some of the best monitors to use with the Surface Go 3.

One thing that's important to remember with this tablet is it doesn't have a typical display output, so your options are somewhat limited. You can either find a USB Type-C monitor or use a Surface Dock to use more traditional outputs like HDMI. Almost all the monitors in our roundup have USB Type-C inputs, so you don't need to go through the hassle of buying docks or adapters.
