Anyone have recommendations for a <=$120 portable monitor? Reviews either read like press releases or seem to stuffed full of fake reviews (like Amazon). Using it for working on the go as a secondary to my windows laptop. Please let me know. Thank you.

    This might just be me, but I have an old iPad 2 with an app that lets you connect the iPad as a second display to your PC. The app is TwomonUSB, although I don’t endorse it. There are alternatives like Duet Display.

    An old iPad of any kind shouldn’t set you back any less than $20 (or what you may have lying around), the disadvantage mostly being limited to the 10" size.

      That’s a great idea. Unfortunately my work laptop is locked down and I’m not able to install any of my own software to it

        Bugger, I am pretty sure that the PC Companion App for TwomonUSB requires admin, unsure about Duet. In any case, hopefully some other commenters here will be able to help. Good luck!
