Portable Monitor for Reading TEXT Recommendations

Looking at the recent portable monitor deals from Aliexpress, I am wondering which screen would be good for clear text between 14" to 16"?

Eventually I will seek to pair it with a small light business windows laptop for travel under $2000 - any recommendations on that as well.

TIA

    There are apps on IOS which are designed to let an ipad become a second monitor. Also if you have a second older laptop windows has it baked in ( https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/core-infrastructure-a… ). I did both all the time when I was doing IT stuff on the road. Ipads generally have a great battery life compared to monitors, and most households have an old device or two kicking around.

    • I have a duet chromebook but unsure if it can be used as a second external monitor to a windows laptop. I like the chromebook, but I need windows.

    I don't know about the montios, I guess a high PPI like a 3k OLED would be good for reading.

    For travel laptops, I love 2 in 1 devices. I'm rocking an old Lenovo x1 gen 2 with OLED 14" screen, when travelling can turn it into tent mode or flip the screen around to watch a movie.

    The best 2 in 1 is the HP spectre, you can get newsletter discounts or ABN discounts on the website:

    Spectre 16" OLED is $2800 on eBay with coupon, can still get 2.5% gift cards for eBay in shopback so another $70 off that price.
