I’ve had tremendous success with the Asus MB169CK (16” screen) monitor. Runs ~$90-$100 on Amazon and it will reorient itself automatically.

Ok, so I am mistaken, unfortunately. Apologies for the confusion! I had safari open when I did the rotation and it did fill the screen. I then re-read your message and understood what you meant. I wasn’t able to have my iPhone in portrait orientation and fill the monitor. I’ll include a picture to show what it looks like. The approximate size of the content shown is 3.5” x 7” on a 16” monitor. I think you might specifically need a display that has built in “forced” rotation. As in, no matter the aspect ratio of the content shown, the display allows you to rotate the content. I’ll gladly poke around for a bit and see if I can come up with something.

i have an arzopa z1fc (144hz) its worth it if on sale otherwise asus zenscreen 16" mb169ck is solid for the price if 60hz is alright for you. consider those ar glasses that project a " 100inch " screen , after using small portable for a month. im definitely looking at those differently

Meron ako nabili sa Villman computer, around 8k sya yung Asus ZenScreen16" MB169CK. More than 2 months ko na sya gamit, so far okay naman and very lightweight din. Hindi ko lang na-try sa online bumili.

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.
