Thanks. I just bought the same monitor like that guy. Sotsu Flipaction Pro. Seems really promising.

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...

I ordered a 16 inch monitor from Sotsu. I still use the external mouse btw.

It is. I think it meets your requirements. You could always return to Amazon if you don’t agree. Let me know if it works out. Good luck.

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. https://a.co/d/9WIZb2j

https://a.co/d/e3SxfHW SOTSU 16” Gen 2. Apple quality. And price. 😔. But the perfect companion for the mac mini

Nope, definitely not a whim purchase Feature set is pretty good tho, and picture quality is really good. Ive set it up next to my oled, and most folks are having a hard time telling the difference

The folding, magnetic design, and the incredibly low power draw is amazing to me. They disappear in my backpack, and fit in a tablet arm too

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 https://www.sotsu.com/products/flipaction-touch-14?variant=46062271955170 https://www.reddit.com/r/SamsungDex/comments/1irtede/sotsu_flipaction_14_go_and_touch_reviews/ 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

yup, there are many that work just fine. I've always got one with me, whether it's a SOTSU, or Nexdock, or Uperfect

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 use Sotsu FlipAction Pro 16”. It’s the best.

I have their flip action pro 16" and love it as a travel monitorLooks great feels solidPersonally, 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.
