ASUS ZenScreen MB166C Portable USB Monitor. Been using for 2 years. You can use the rubber strap that comes with the ride holder and the screw for the monitor to lock it in place. It's 15.6 inch and works a charm. Let me know if you want a photo as that might sound a bit mad.

I use 15.6" USB-C Tripod Mountable Asus Zenscreen on an Insta360 2-in-1 Selfie Stick/Tripod with a ball head mount which sits next to my laptop on a Nexstand K2. If you use your laptop without a stand, you could skip the tripod for the portable monitor and just use it with the default cover/stand next to the laptop.

I use a portable 1080p 15' Asus zen screen. I have a dock that has a video/data usb c slot to run the monitor. It works fine together. Wouldn't try to run any higher than 1080p tho

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. 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".

I've been using the ASUS ZenScreen for past year with my macbook and it works pretty well in bright environments. Got mine for around 200 euros and brightness is decent enough for outdoor cafes, though you still need to find some shade on really sunny days
