What portable monitors are you guys actually using and would recommend?

I've been thinking about getting a portable monitor for my laptop since I travel pretty often for work, and honestly, working on a single screen is getting frustrating. I'm so used to having a dual-monitor setup at home that switching between tabs, spreadsheets, and emails on a small laptop screen feels like a pain.

I've looked at a few 15.6-inch and 16-inch portable monitors, but there are so many brands and price differences that I'm not really sure what's worth the money. Ideally, I want something lightweight, with a good display, a sturdy stand, and USB-C connectivity so I don't have to carry extra cables.

I'm also wondering if 1080p is good enough for everyday work or if spending more on a higher-resolution screen makes a noticeable difference.

For anyone who's been using a portable monitor regularly, which one do you have, and would you buy it again? Any recommendations or brands I should avoid? I'd rather hear real experiences before spending money on one.
