I have no gripes with this guy, which I've been using for years: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FNVF8DF?ref\_=ppx\_hzsearch\_conn\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_1&th=1](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FNVF8DF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1)

I have an ASUS 156b portable display. It lives on my desk except when I am traveling for field work or sometimes (about once a month) relocate to my basement lab for a day. If I have a long document (say 50 pages) to read I may lay on my bed and read on my phone until my arms get tired and I move back to my desk. When I'm working my usual tasks, I'm immersed in the work. Location doesn't really matter. Portable display is on left in picture. https://preview.redd.it/dl6xygbmjd3g1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fc7167f8510f321436cd5c3c123a2412466126f

I have a 15inch m4 macbook air and i use my old asus zenscreen 15inch. It's now my secondary monitor even at home and i keep my macbook docked. At coffees i have the screen over my laptop screen to take less space on a overly expansive stand lol ( FLEXSTA ). At work i have them side by side with my laptop on a roost stand. At home i have it rotated 90degree next to my studio display

I purchased one of the Asus Zenscreen 15” a year or so ago. Brilliant and came with a pouch and USB-C cable.

Asus ZenScreen 13 or 15, 13 is super light, 1 cable (powered by USBC) Quality isn’t great - not for gaming but prioritize which content you want on your laptop and which can be on the secondary.

Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".
