Monitors in a broadcast environment at a minimum need to be able to be calibrated. Asus ProArt monitors are nice, but really belong in post houses paired with monthly color probe calibration. They're pretty bad for field work compared to set monitors
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
I've looked into this before and honestly using a laptop as an external monitor is pretty limited - most laptops don't have video input ports, only outputs. What helped me when i needed portable display was getting a dedicated portable monitor. They're surprisingly thin and light, like the Asus ZenScreen or Lenovo ThinkVision portable displays. Tbh they connect via USB-C or HDMI and fit in a backpack easily. For your work travel situation, a 15-17 inch portable monitor would give you proper external display functionality without the laptop compatibility headaches.
