Okay, I just ordered the Sotsu Flipaction 16 inch Pro.
It is such a waste to NOT use the Macbook Pro keyboard, trackpad and even the screen when in clamshell mode. Not using the "device real estate" in its full is such a waste...
The very best portable monitors are made by SOTSU. I have the 16” Gen II. The screen quality is amazing and the design is perfect. It’s not cheap though.

I'm a big fan of the SOTSU monitors, the flipaction touch 14 also happens to support MPP AND you can magnet your pen to the external monitors

I'm testing the sotsu 16 pro right now, but it doesn't do MPP, nor touch, so unless you really need the higher resolution, i'd prefer the 14" versions
another fun idea is the uperfect delta dual screen monitors
single usb-c connection gets you 2x panels
it's pretty slick
We've reviewed a ton of everything dex related here
For folding keyboards, we really like the protoarc ones
Im also a huge fan of their hub mouse (comes with a hidden Usb-c hub)
For portable monitors, I really like the Sotsu monitors, but ive also got a ton of uperfect panels of every size and resolution
I have the Sotsu FlipAction 16 Pro and would think about it this way:
With the laptop+iPad setup the laptop is your primary display while the iPad is your secondary display.
With the laptop+FlipAction setup the FlipAction is your primary display and the laptop becomes your secondary display.
In other words, if your laptop's screen is sufficient for your needs and you just want to second screen to reference the iPad is a much more portable choice. But if your laptop screen feels cramped the Sotsu would be a better choice, albeit at the expense of being less portable.
I have their flip action pro 16" and love it as a travel monitor. Looks great feels solid. Personally, I prefer the resolution on the pro.
I don't like the case / sleeve it came with. It's too tight to pack up quickly.
I also got one of their travel USB hubs which has dp alt mode (which is somewhat uncommon).
Anyway, the monitor wasn't cheap, but I'd definitely buy it again.
