18.4 Inch 4K Monitor

If I'm travelling light I have a UPerfect 18".  If I'm bringing a checked bag I can bring my UPerfect 24.5". Both monitors were very reasonably priced, high refresh rate, with the option to buy travel bags.  Would highly recommend UPerfect for gaming portable monitors. Bonus, they both have vesa mounts, so I have camera tripod like stands I pieced together that I attach with thumb screws to get them to a good height.

I tried to use an ipad as a second monitor and just couldn't do it. Being smaller than my laptop, it just wasn't helping at all other than being at eye level (which I can just do with the laptop). I ended up buying the UPERFECT 18 inch portable monitor. It's just the right size not too heavy and big enough to not lose productivity against my usual monitor. As for stands, so the UPERFECT portable monitor has an in built stand. But what I do is I prop it up on my Roost Laptop stand. So it's almost exactly eye level. And the roost stand is super light so amazing for travel. Highly recommend using a laptop stand. I considered a specifically "portable monitor stand" but they looked pricey and heavy. So glad I did this instead If you want I can take a photo tomorrow to show what I do. Also as someone else was saying, you really have to just try it yourself. I taped paper on my monitor to test if I could work with a 13 inch screen. Spoke to friends. The solution I ended with (and am super happy with) was not at all what I thought I'd do when I started thinking about it

I bought a bunch of “ used “ portable monitors from this company on eBay . I paid $30 ish for about this spec and it’s brand new as far as I can tell. Think it’s called upperfect
