Portable monitor recommendations? (lemmings.world)

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.

There are like 3 or 4 main body styles. pick the one you like the most and find the best price from any of the random Chinese companies on Amazon that has more than 100 reviews. They are all made by the same place, as far as I can tell. You are just picking the middleman.

The well known brands are not better quality or better service, and sometimes fewer features. Definitely not worth that $200+ price.

Hopefully you are in a place that gives you easy access to an Amazon return. There will always be a random item damaged in shipping or that is DOA. I haven't been able to find a high DOA in the random Chinese brands.
