Sadly this is a DisplayLink device and will never be satisfactory for gaming. <snip>
USB 3.1 gen 2 doesn’t have the bandwidth needed to do true DisplayPort high bandwidth video signal, but, Thunderbolt does. So I’d say, if you’re going to watch this portable display market, watch for someone to offer something with Thunderbolt connectivity. That could carry power and displayport at high bandwidth with no need for hacks like displaylink. It’s the only current in-market connection tech that can do it.
There's no need for Thunderbolt, even. If it's a USB-C connector it could use alternate mode for a true DisplayPort link. Take advantage of USB-PD for power and you have a single-cable, native-performance display.
EDIT: have been searching for detailed specs on the new HP display richiegore linked upthread but can't find anything. Its predecessor (the S140u) certainly is USB 3.0/DisplayLink-based, but I hope this new version does away with that.
