Wouldn't it be a neater solution to just use the MacBook Pro in clamshell mode and have one big screen that displays all your stuff?

I use a mirrorless camera as a webcam. I want it to feel to the viewer like I am looking at them.
The larger the display is, the further away from my line of sight the camera is.
I love the small MBP display as I can place the large camera just above the webcam, and when I'm in a meeting the small screen places the persons face directly below the camera... and they feel like I'm looking at them directly, and it does make the meetings more engaging.
So that's my primary setup... and sometimes I want a 2nd display for documents, web pages, data. But not so large that it unbalances the use of the MBP display.
My absolute ideal would be something of equal resolution and colour control as the MBP, twice the size of the MBP screen, in portrait mode beside the MBP screen (the MBP is on a stand so would be halfway up the screen), that also looked good... and hey if I'm dreaming then a USB-C connector and smart stuff so that adjusting brightness worked on both displays at once.

that's surprisingly good. I plan to use the 2nd monitor for predominantly displaying a web browser without video. I figure the MBP primary display will do all video stuff and what I need is just something with a screen resolution and colour as similar to the MBP as possible, and that can allow me to open a document or a dashboard of graphs, alongside my MBP screen.
A 12.9" iPad Pro would make an almost identically sized external monitor... and all I'd need do is find a stable stand for it.
I mean... if there were a 20" it would be even better, but 13" is still good.
